Grumpy Beastie's Other Lair

Challenge #8

Talk about a current fannish project (fic, art, vid, crochet, funko pop village) (that you are creating or enjoying)

I have a lot of fannish projects in varying stages of progress. These are the ones that are most present on my mind of late:

- I am actively working on adding to my crossover series'. I feel like I don’t give them enough love, despite being some of my favorite things to poke at. The most current ones are:

An Avatar: The Last Airbender/Batman crossover modern magic AU. Basically, magic and supernatural creatures are real, and it’s not really a secret, but it’s kind of ignored or looked down upon by larger “regular” human society. It’s there if you are looking for it, but most people aren’t. Bruce Wayne is a doctor at a free clinic by day and mad scientist by night, Alfred is something unspeakable and old, there is something really wrong with Dick but nobody talks about it, Tim has been recently turned into a vampire and hiding it, and Jason Todd is a werewolf that was adopted by Bruce and then resurrected Frankenstein style after he died. Most of the rest of the cast, including nearly all the AtLA characters, are magic users of various types, except Sokka. I have no idea what to do with Sokka. Most of the characters know each other by either being adopted by being part of the Wayne family or by going to the same exclusive school.

And

An Addams Family/Batman crossover kid fic AU, where Bruce Wayne and Wednesday Addams are the same age and neighbors (and have a crush on each other).

- I’ve been designing ornaments for a fandom themed holiday tree to reflect my multifandom-ness. Examples include: a small stocking that, in material and design, is inspired by the Stargate Atlantis off world uniforms with a ZPM in it and a garland that looks like Inuyasha’s beads of subjugation necklace. Though everything is in the planning stages.

Related to this, I’ve also been working on a strictly Good Omens themed mini tree. I have the white mini tree and I made a red snake garland for it, but it has some issues. The rest of the decorations were going to be made from shrink plastic, but I haven’t had time and resources to make them.

- Last year I started a junk journal of my year, that included tags of my fandoms of the year. Almost all of them are still in progress. Basically, they were paper tags styled after old school manilla tags and I drew related fanart on them. So far, there are ones for Wednesday, The Sandman, Hilde, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Invader Zim, and Moonstruck, but there are more to come.

- I have lengthy WIP that is a master list of all the Bat gadgets mentioned in the original 1960 Batman TV series, as well as another list of all of Dick Grayson’s hobbies and extracurricular activities. I am thinking of starting another one of all the committees Bruce is on.

- Speaking of lists, I also have one of all of the “periodic exclamations of surprise that also name-check women in history and the arts” in the Lumberjanes series in progress. (I had to quote someone on Good Reads to get the description right.)

There are more, but those are the big ones, I think.

I was going to do a regular entry but I decided instead to do a "Hooray! I have a new banner!" entry.

This is my Trailblazer Award:


It was for the first ever quotation prompt over at iyhedonism. Only two of us wrote for the prompt and we got custom banners for our efforts. They were both rather lovely but I really love mine. The quote was "Woman's destiny is to be wanton, like the bitch, the She-wolf; she must belong to all who claim her" by the Marquis de Sade. Yup, I took a gem like that and ended up with a cross-dressing fic, go figure.

The story will be going up on gummiwolf as soon as I'm done here.
