It's time for our second check-in! You can check in over email (pod.together@gmail.com), dreamwidth comment (comments on this post are screened), or via discord message to klb, shmaylor, minnabird, or rockinhamburger. Please try to check-in within 48 hours. We will send a follow-up email to all those we haven't heard from at that time. (If you've already turned in your writing and received confirmation from the mods, you don't need to check in but you're welcome to!)

The complete writing is due in one week, on July 27th. You can find more information in our FAQ about what it means for writing to be complete. Writers can either email us a link to a shared version of their text that their podficcer has access to (for example a shared Google Doc) or post the text to the Pod_Together 2025 collection on AO3. The collection is moderated and set to "unrevealed" so the stories will show as "mystery" works until the mods reveal them on the scheduled posting day. If your podficcer is not included as a co-creator on the AO3 post, please contact a mod when you submit your writing to confirm that your podficcer has access to the completed text. You can find full posting instructions here.

The Early Writing deadline is this Wednesday, July 23rd. At the end of the challenge, mods will create a schedule for revealing completed projects, evenly distributed across a ten-day posting period. Projects that meet the Early Writing AND Early Podfic submission deadlines will be posted first, followed by projects that meet the Early Writing OR Early Podfic submission deadline, followed by all other projects.

If you're feeling confident in your ability to finish the writing on time, we look forward to hearing about it and we always love to hear about what's going well in your partnerships. If you are having problems in your partnership, we're also happy to hear about those and help suggest ideas for troubleshooting!

If you're not feeling confident in your ability to finish the writing within the next 7 days, please let us know and we can talk about:

  • The possibility of an extension. Please note our extension policy: "Each participant can receive a maximum extension of 7 days past their deadline. If you request an extension, please tell us how long you would like that extension to be. Up to 3 days will be granted automatically to everyone, and extensions of up to 7 days will be granted automatically to those who used Group Sign Ups. For those who used Match Maker Sign Ups, if an extension of 4–7 days is needed, please include a plan for how you intend to finish within that time."

  • The possibility of getting a beta or cheerleader.

  • The possibility of getting a co-writer.

  • The possibility of writing a shorter version of your original story plan for your podficcer to begin recording (which is able to stand alone in case a life emergency stops you from writing more) with the agreement that if there is time and interest by both parties, you might create additional scenes later to add on.

  • The possibility of (with your partner's approval) leaving some areas of the script for podficcer ad-lib.

  • The possibility of additional scheduled accountability check-ins, if that will help keep you motivated and not stressed!


Also, please remember to share what you've written so far with your partner. This means not just an update of your progress but sharing your draft itself. The minimum requirement is once per check-in!

Finally, if you're realizing that what you really need in order to take care of yourself is to drop out, that's fine. Yay self-care! Please let us know as soon as possible though, so we can offer your partner a pinch hitter.

The lunch rush finally ebbs and you sit down at a table, exhausted and hungry. A golem brings you a raw salad garnished with cold fries. "I could have made something better with all those vegetables," you mutter. If you're going to be stuck in a cooking game, the least it could do is let you cook.

"You could," a melodious voice agrees. You look up to see a spark-sprite hovering next to you. "True culinary delight comes from creativity, and only sentient beings can be creative. The golems, poor things, have dirt for brains. They can chop vegetables and not much else."

That seems a little insensitive, and you wince, but a passing golem doesn't look bothered at all. It takes your empty bowl and gives you a glass of water, which you gratefully chug. Being a bard is thirsty work.

"But as the golems could not be creative," the sprite continues, "they could not provide entertainment. For that, only you and your fellows would do. And you did it so well!" he adds warmly. Literally warmly — a few sparks fall from his wings for emphasis. "Word spread and I had to come hear you for myself. I was not disappointed, I must say! And as I am a professor of the arcane and mundane arts, I know whereof I speak."

"Thanks," you say, feeling a little better. It's nice to have your art appreciated, even if the professor thinks it's mundane. You made some good tips, too. If only that game currency meant anything in the real world. But who knows when you'll see the real world again...

Your melancholy musings are interrupted by the sprite producing a peculiar mechanical device that's nearly as big as he is. Magical or electrical energy crackles along its wires and prongs. It reminds you of the goblin devices that sent you into the game in the first place. "Hey," you say, sitting up. "Do you know —"

"That the golems are drenched in ancient magic?" the sprite exclaims. "I do! Tell me, do you know anything about the soil they're made of?"

You neither know nor care. You just want to go home. "Uh, not really. Professor —“

“Then further research is needed!" He puts the device away (how? where?) and gestures to you. "Come! You're no longer needed for the lunch rush, so I need you to dig around in the ground the golems came from and see if you find any ancient items of interest. If you can further my research, I shall be most grateful."

You don't want to dig more, but you like the idea of the professor owing you a favor. Maybe then he can help you get home.

There's just one problem: when you go outside, it's foggy and you can't see very well. You cough, waving your hands around to clear the air. It smells like vegetables and dragon spit.

"Sorry!" Stray calls, sticking their head out the back door. "The dragons got a little enthusiastic making steam to sanitize the dishes. Oh, hello, Zzt. Did you enjoy the salad?"

"Terrible," he says briskly. "But the fine entertainment was worth it. Why didn't you tell me your vegetable patch was full of magical residue?"

Stray huffs. "Why should I tell you anything when you're so rude?" They go back into the cafe, slamming the door.

Professor Zzt shrugs and turns back to you. "Nothing to be gotten from them. But I'm sure you'll turn up everything I need."

A new tracking board appears. It seems you have no choice but to accept this quest.

2025 Posting Instructions

pod_together: (Default)
[personal profile] klb posting in [community profile] pod_together
Projects must be posted to AO3 by the Podfic Submission Deadline on Sunday August 24th. If the written component is already completed, feel free to post the text to AO3 sooner!

Post your work in the Pod Together 2025 Collection, either by following this link, or by listing Pod_Together2025 in the “Post to Collections/Challenges” field.

Be sure to hit "Post" when done; the challenge is set to unrevealed, so the project will show as a "Mystery Work" to anyone but the co-creators and mods. If you save the project as a draft, the mods will not be able to view it to confirm it meets word count and/or that the podfic links are working, and the project will automatically delete itself after a month.

You may post the text and podfic together in a single post or in two separate posts.
  • If you decide to have a single post for both the text and podfic, make sure to add all your group members as co-creators, so all creators have editing access and credit for their work!

  • If you decide to have the text and podfic in separate posts, the post for each part should link to the other part prominently at the top of the post, with an explanation that the two parts were created as a collaboration. This means that the text post will link to the podfic post prominently at the top, and vice versa. This should be more than using AO3's "inspired by" function to connect the two posts (although you're welcome to do that as well!). The link and explanation can be either in the body of the post or in a note at the beginning.


PODFIC-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

If the two parts of the project are in a single post, the completed podfic should be included at the top of the post. If the podfic and text are separate chapters, the podfic chapter should come first.

If the two parts of the project are in separate posts, see above for how to link the two posts to each other.

If you'd like additional support with how to post a podfic to AO3, this text guide or this video guide helpful.

Your podfic must be available for listening in both streaming and mp3 download formats. A streaming player directly on the AO3 post is highly recommended, but not required. If you need some help with hosting options or with streaming, you can check out this post or ask for support on the Pod-Together Discord! The mods are also happy to host your audio for you at parakaproductions.com. If you'd like us to do that, just email us your audio file and let us know you'd like to use our hosting, and we'll send you back a link to the hosted audio!

A dark and foggy mist has descended over the vegetable garden. It does smell good, you have to admit, as you blindly grope around in search of your teammates. Instead your hands connect with grapes that squash in your fingers. They smell delicious – and taste even better.

“Hurry up!” a voice calls – the manager, you think. “It’ll be dinner rush soon enough. That dragon-fueled hot pot is not going to fill itself.”

Is that where the mist is coming from?

You’re trying to squint through the fog when the manager comes up to you. Her hands are now carrying large bushels of grapes.

“There’s someone I want you to meet,” the manager says. “A visiting archeologist, very important. The professor. Over there.”

She nods her head in the direction of a man kneeling down in the dirt. If it weren’t for his size and relative lack of dirt, you’d have mistaken him for another of the golems. You go over to him.

“Hello, professor,” you say, and he stands back up, taking you in behind those thick glasses and bushy beard. You like him immediately.

“This is an extremely interesting place,” he says as he squats back down and pokes at the dirt. You follow him, curious, but also afraid of more golems popping up. They’re sweet and friendly, sure, but they also came out of the dirt with no warning and you do not want to be on the receiving end of that. “You know, I think it’s just the place I’ve been looking for. It’s been written about, spoken about, and perhaps I’m the lucky one to find it.”

The professor’s eyes glimmer as he speaks and you can’t help but feel his own excitement filling you.

“Like what?” you say.

“Oh, strange things, interesting things. Artifacts, magical dirt…” He smiles, it lights up his whole face. “You should keep digging and see what you can find.”

Success, you’ve found all the vegetables! You’ve also found hot dogs, which does seem odd to pull out of a garden plot, but everyone else seems to think it’s fine? You hand them to your manager, who just has time to say “this is fantastic” before the earth shakes.

“And you’re just in time to help with the lunch rush!” Mr. Snikkit enthuses, putting a pair of yellow sunglasses on. The front door slams open and a crowd shoves into the place – crystal sprites and tiny dragons jostling for position in the air, a dryad shoving tree boughs out of her face and already asking for a lemon-matcha latte, a lava mermaid in a heat-protective suit wheeling between the hordes of seated dwarves.

You’re about to rush to prep the vegetables, but Mr. Snikkit yells out one last order before he takes a position at the front counter. “Dirt goes to the dragon!”

Dirt goes to the – what? You look up just in time to see a yellow dragon the size of the cafe touch down in front of the building, coiling its tail around itself as it loafs like a cat. It looks expectantly in your direction, eyes whirling yellow-green, and well, you don’t have better plans. A wheelbarrow’s worth of dirt is dumped in front of the dragon, and you jump out of the way as it breathes out pure magic. An arm rises out of the dirt, and then another, as golems come to life and lumber in to support your manager during the lunch rush.

You see Mr. Snikkit welcome the golems, handing out aprons and notepads, and then point you emphatically in the direction of the musical instruments in the front window. “Listen to the Tart Tones while you wait” says a sign over the window, the text ornamented with a smiling lemon and musical notes. A golem shuffles up and hands you another sign, this one reading “Tips Appreciated”.

It looks like your position in the lunch rush has been assigned. Time to get out there and see how many songs you remember (and how many more you can improvise). How is this crowd going to take some Led Zeppelin, do you think?

You sigh in relief at surviving the lunch rush and hitting your earnings goal. Hopefully you’ll get an excuse to go playing in the dirt instead. A light fog has settled over the café, hiding the disconcerting wiggling pears on the ceiling from view. Fuzang is curled around the pear juice fountain and seems to have dozed all through the lunch rush.

Before the Manager can flag you down, though, Fuzang rises and eels his way over to you. “You know, I am quite fascinated by the ground here,” he begins. “The golems here are completely unique, and several aspects of them suggest that there might be something even more interesting buried in the soil. I’ve tried applying for a permit for an archaeological dig here, but the Manager keeps blocking me. I know you have other, more pressing duties, but if you dig out anything else interesting from the fields at the back – or even just some more of that dirt – I would be more than happy to compensate you for your labor.” He then produces a business card, revealing that he is a professor at one of the most esteemed dwarven universities.

“Of course, Professor,” you say.

“Oh, no need to stand on formality with me. I’ll be right here.” He curls back around the pear juice fountain. A golem brings him hotpot. It looks suspiciously pear-flavored. Unlike all the other customers, he doesn’t need a shoulder dragon to keep the hotpot hot.

The Manager hasn’t given you new instructions yet, so you go back out to the back, pear hat wiggling jauntily on your head. The fog is even worse here, making you unsure of how much you’ll have to dig, but you’re sure you can manage. You’re really digging this archaeology sidequest, and who knows – maybe you’ll find something to escape this cooking simulator.

Time to embrace the dirt again!

You’ve dug up your various vegetables, including those donuts that you explain to the manager can’t grow in the dirt, but she waves you off as she collects your hoard.

You’re utterly covered in dirt and you’re about to ask about the chance of grabbing a shower when you hear – no, feel – some deep rumblings beneath the cafe. You reach out and brace yourself against one of the wooden tables spread around the main area. There are people – well, not just people; there are dwarves and trolls and sprites and is that a mermaid in a portable pool? – sitting around and they appear completely nonplussed.

The cafe suddenly lights up in a glorious cacophony of oranges and reds and yellows, a heat that seems to singe your skin, and as it dies away you see a dragon has stuck its head through your window.

“Dirt!” someone yells. “You need to give it the dirt!”

Well, you certainly don’t see the point in keeping it for yourself, so you hand it all over and the dragon takes it carefully in its mouth. You watch as it deposits it in a rather neat square out the front of the cafe, smooth and spread out.

Suddenly, the dirt begins to come to life. Surely this isn’t real, but no, it’s there. Large humanoid creatures growing from the dirt.

“About time,” the manager says. Her dress is dancing even more out here, and there isn’t a breeze to explain it. “The golems have been missing for a while, we appreciate you helping bring them back. Now – get out there and earn us some more tips.”

You've seen some weird things in your time, but nothing weirder than a container of piping-hot French fries growing underground. You hope it's okay that you ate some while you were gardening. It's been a long morning and you're starving.

Stray wasn't kidding about the lunch rush. You can see through the windows that the formerly empty cafe is filling up with all kinds of supernatural creatures. You see some old friends among the trolls and sprites, and you want to stop and say hello to them, but you're covered in dirt and know better than to go in the front door of the cafe. Instead, you haul all the vegetables (and the remaining fries) to the back entrance, where Stray eagerly collects them. "These will be super helpful!" they say. "Give the dirt to Runner, will you?"

You look around, not sure who Runner is or how they're going to collect the giant heaps of dirt that you turned up while looking for vegetables. But when you turn back to the dirt pile, you see long, slender green vines twining up over and around it. Several of the vines briefly entangle themselves to form a dragon's head on a long neck. "Thank you, my darlings," the dragon coos as you stare. "This is exactly what I needed."

Then the vines – no, you realize, the runners – return to slithering over the dirt, dividing and shaping it into odd little mounds and drawing designs on them. Green energy crackles along the runners and infuses the heaps, and they suddenly bounce up from the ground, startling you. As you yelp and jump back, the heaps of dirt land on their... feet??

Glowing green words on their foreheads make it clear that these are golems. You haven't encountered them before, but you've heard stories. Not sure what to expect, you stay huddled with your teammates in the shadow of the cafe, waiting to see what happens next.

Runner coalesces again. "Sweet children of the soil! How I missed you," it cries. "Come take your places."

The golems seem to know what that means; some start turning the remaining soil into a patio area, while others fetch chairs, tables and green-and-pink-striped umbrellas from a storage shed. You see one of them stop to fondly pat the X-ray machine. Apparently they didn't mind being prodded by it.

Stray comes back out and nods approvingly at the golems. "Nice work," they tell Runner. Then they turn to you. "All right, time to get onstage!"

"Onstage?" you repeat, alarmed. You're exhausted from working in the field, not to mention filthy.

"Yes, yes, onstage! We promised the customers you'd entertain them. Aren't you all bards?"

You look around at one another. "More or less," one of you admits.

"Then leave the serving work to the golems and come perform. Customers always tip better when there are bards." Stray points to a water tap sticking out of the building. "But wash up first."

With no other option, you all line up for a chance at the tap. At least the water is warm, and someone in your party even remembers to cast Detect Fuck-Water and make sure it's safe before anyone touches it.

When you're moderately presentable, you head into the cafe and get ready to perform. An income tracker appears on your dashboard as you set out your tip jar. You hope it's an easy crowd.

You hand all the vegetables to the Manager, including the tacos – though you have second thoughts about that; they looked delicious, whatever their origin, and you are hungry – and feel more than hear a deep rumble in the earth.

“That would be the lunch rush,” the Manager says. You see a name tag on her dress. It reads “Manager MANAGER, Café Manager.” It seems that the saying nomen est omen does apply after all.

You re-enter the café just as a giant horde of dwarves comes in, probably from the mines. Some booths are already full of all variety of creatures, crystal sprites and faeries and selkies – and is that a lava mermaid on the top level? – and you can see that with the dwarves, the place will be packed.

Just as you’re about to start frantically chopping vegetables, one of the other servers says, “Oh, he’s early today!”

You look at who could have inspired this reaction and see that a dragon has poked its whiskered face in through the window. You don’t remember the Pear Wiggler having a window there when you came, but perhaps they remodeled while you were in the fields.

The dragon seems to be incredibly distracted by the pear juice fountain. He squirms inside the café sinuously.

“New people!” the Manager calls. “Give the old geezer the dirt you dug up. And hurry up, we have an earnings goal to meet!”

You look at the earnings goal and think you’ll be here all week before you can meet it, but keep the thought to yourself. Instead, you bring the dirt to the dragon, only to discover that… it’s coming to life?

“Ahh, golems; I was wondering if this would happen,” the dragon says. He sounds old and wise. He joins you in watching the golems spring to work, serving people at a pace that might make the Manager’s earnings goal at least somewhat realistic. “But there’s no need for you to mind old Fuzang. Go entertain the customers and get some tips.”

Tips? Perhaps they will be counted towards the earnings target. You thank Fuzang for his advice and spread out to entertain waiting customers with art and stories.

Contains some sci-fi violence as per the show (but generally not the most graphic scenes), flickering/flashing lights in a couple of scenes; also has the canon pairings in the background, but it's mostly focused on the team + Murderbot being Intrepid Galactic Explorers. Spoilers for all of season one.

While we figure out what to do with the challenge tags, we are continuing our project for combining the oldest fandom tags that have only been used once. As always, this is a rolling project as we mods have time, and we'll post the list each time so that anyone who would like to create a second work for one of these fandoms has the opportunity to save it from our pruning!

For this round, here are some single-use tags that haven't been used since 2019-2020, and how we plan to replace them:

Played two games on Sunday. Think I played 2 games a couple of rounds ago, too.

On the whole, the body is hurting quite a bit more than it was last time. But I've been having a few aches and pains.

Good feeling: I scored a goal - a beautiful pass from the wing straight into the middle of the circle, and I (and a defender whose stick clashed with mine) reangled it into the goal behind the keeper.

Bad feeling: all the twingy, twitchy hip and leg aches for which I am going to see a physio this morning.

Apparently, Team 1 is down to 13 players (there's 11 on the field) and they were going to move some of T2 up (myself and my friend J, who came and played for the club last year because I was here and her team was being relegated to a competition in the southwest; she still plays with them for the masters/veterans competition) but we've got about three injuries ongoing on the team - including one fractured foot and one pregnancy, who is taking it fairly easy.

Yesterday, we were missing one of our 'young runners', and the other had period cramps really bad. Both inners (women about my age, so perimenopausal) were nursing injuries, and our pregnancy is on the wing. Doing well, but...yeah. She probably won't be running much longer...

Our forward line is simply not able to get the ball up there with any kind of strength, so we're losing 3-0, but we're doing a really good job at playing. I know that doesn't sound like we are with 3-0 losses, but truly told, we're playing amazing. Passing, calling, talking, we just can't get it into the circle and into the goal.

Anyway, we're improving and we're having fun. Even the not-so-nice team was okay to play yesterday.

Back to Team 1, they're probably going to try to get myself and J qualified for the team in the finals series. Which...eek. That means at least another 2 weekends with 2 games for me. Which...I can maybe do if I keep my fitness up? Oof.

But I may reach my holidays and be like "here is a pool and a nice hotel in Sinagapore and I AIN'T MOVING A MUSCLE"...

[personal profile] battleshipmod posting in [community profile] battleshipex

Lore is part of the fun of Battleship, but it has no bearing on the actual game. You can skip posts tagged "lore" if you just want the game instructions.

When we left our heroes...

You take your winnings off to the Shoulder Dragon Cafe, planning to settle in for some hot pot and a well-deserved rest. You also really want your new octopus friend to meet the shoulder dragons; you think they'd get along well.

But when you step through the door of the cafe, there's a weird shimmering blur. It's magic, but not a kind you've ever seen before.

Inside the cafe, things seem... different. Everything looks flat, and pastel-colored. Every sound is tinny, and just at the edge of hearing, there's a little song playing over and over and over.

"Welcome to your first day as a cook at the Shoulder Dragon Cafe!" cries a cheerful voice. It's a rainbow-colored shoulder dragon, hovering over one of the tables with jerky flaps of its wings. "I'll show you how to keep our customers happy! Are you ready? Let's get cooking!"

"Oh no," one of your companions whispers, just as you start to really regret pushing the buttons on those mysterious goblin machines. "We're in a cooking simulator."

A new round begins!

It seems homes for dwarves, mermaids, sprites, and trolls are not the only things being built on the construction site. Each day you glance out the window of the Shoulder Dragon Cafe and see curious things going on. Until one day you look and see four new buildings. Not only that, but each has a large garden sectioned off. Taking a closer look, you see it’s not only vegetables growing. Is that pizza? Is that a bone?

“You’ve leveled up,” one of the Shoulder Dragon Cafe sprites tells you all as you look out the window, watching. “Time to go across the way.”

You'll miss the Shoulder Dragon Cafe. People, creatures, and animals have come from far and wide to taste test the delicacy of your hot pot. But you know the call to adventure still whispers – and you’d like to get home. Maybe. Eventually.

So gathering both old and new friends, you venture across, and as you get closer you see that atop each building is a fruit. The Fraise Lounge reads one, a juicy red strawberry good enough to eat just out of your reach. The Pear Wiggler that does indeed seem to be wiggling. The Lemon Pucker Cafe and Adult Bookstore that smells of sharp, tart citrus wafting through the air. The Enchanted Vine that sparkles above you.

Suddenly, a dwarf appears from under the ground. He shakes the dirt from his head and takes you all in. He might be small, but he makes you feel even smaller, like he can see right through you. “Are you the replacements?”

You don’t know what to say.

“For the golems,” the dwarf says. He sniffs. “I have to say, not sure you’ll be able to live up to them.”

“Well,” you say, “we can certainly try.”

The adventurers gather around this small, strange man and stare at the four cafes. Just as you’re about to start helping divide up teams, you hear something coming from the nearby lake. You stop, frozen in fear, as four huge octopuses rise from the water. They’re various shades and you’re pretty sure at least some of them have to mean poison: yellow, red, green, and purple.

Before anyone can react, the octopuses span the distance between you and them, and begin to toss players toward the different cafes. You find yourself flying through the air, sure this is the end of you, but thanks to the magic of fiction, you land safely on your feet.

Team Grape

You are one of the lucky adventurers to end up at the bright purple door of the Enchanted Vine. You can smell the tang of wine, of juice, the fresh greenery of grape vines that all but engulf the cafe’s windows.

Before you can knock, the door flies open and a woman in a loud purple dress stands there. Her clothes seem to move on their own, flowing in the nonexistent wind. You try and see beyond her but the vines have made the inside dark. You can smell something delicious, and your stomach grumbles.

“Enough of that,” the woman says. “It’s about time you’re here. Quickly now, it’s lunch rush soon and we need our vegetables.”

Well, you said you wanted a job.

“Oh!” The woman says suddenly. “Make sure you get plenty of dirt, too. You want to upgrade the cafe, don’t you? We’ve been hoping to install that patio for a while. Let the customers get some sunshine, you see.”

Your eyes still haven’t adjusted to seeing inside the cafe with how dark it is. You can’t imagine it’s a popular cafe.

And did she say dirt to… upgrade? Whatever, this place is weird enough, might as well listen to what she says.

When you step onto the loony dirt of the gardens, a screen appears before you. X-ray scans available: 144.

It just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

“Uh,” you manage to ask, “what’s your name?”

The woman waves you off. “Just call me the manager.”

Team Lemon

The Lemon Pucker is a maze of a place, with lots of cozy nooks for reading and some curtained booths in the back for… um… let's just say those are for private reading. The air is filled with the scent of tangy citrus. Patrons are drinking lemon verbena tea and nibbling on lemon poppyseed cake. It's well-lit and peaceful, and you wish you could just sit down and enjoy it.

But you're here to work, and the cafe manager immediately pops out from behind the counter and bustles over to you. He's short and round and is wearing a yellow t-shirt that says It's not a bald spot, it's a solar panel for a sex machine. "Welcome, welcome, welcome!" he cries. "We're so happy you're here!"

He introduces himself as Mr. Snikkit ("No relation, it's a different spelling, you know") and takes you out behind the cafe to where there's a big garden plot. It looks totally barren. Nonetheless, Mr. Snikkit gives you all shovels and instructs you to start digging.

"What are we going to dig for?" you ask skeptically.

Mr. Snikkit gives you an encouraging smile. "Whatever you find!"

Someone behind you snorts. "I don't think we're going to find anything but dirt."

"Oh, yes, save the dirt!" Mr. Snikkit exclaims. "Very important dirt."

He dashes back into the cafe, saying something about dragons and golems. None of it makes any sense, but that's par for the course.

As you fan out across the garden plot, looking for places to dig, a display pops up with your level goals and tools. Apparently you can use an X-ray machine for… something… 144 times. Maybe to see what's happening in those curtained booths.

You stare out at the dirt (important dirt) and sigh. It was more interesting at the Shoulder Dragon Cafe, where you got to actually cook. But grinding is how you level up, so you heft your shovel and set to work.

Team Pear

You sigh with relief at this interlude leaving you alive and on dry land. You’ve been deposited in front of the Pear Wiggler, so you decide that this must be the place to start.

You push open the suspiciously juicy door and see a space where the architect’s plans must have gone pear-shaped – rather literally, as the interior is in the shape of a giant pear. Staircases run along the edges of the café, leading to suspended booths of various sizes, and a fountain of pear juice occupies the center. The ceiling is covered in pears that are wiggling in a most disconcerting manner.

“Oh, the new employees!” a passing server says. “Thank pear — we really have been noticing the golems' absence.” Like everyone else, he is dressed in bright green, with a hat that looks like a giant pear has been mashed on top of his head. Somehow, it, too, seems to be wiggling. “Quick, go report to the manager. We don’t have much time before the lunch rush, and I think the kitchen was running out of vegetables.” You allow yourself to be directed to the base of the pear juice fountain and think that a quick run to the market to buy new ingredients would be a nice and easy task to start with, assuming you don’t get waylaid by the octopus or something else ridiculous in your usual fashion.

The manager, however, disabuses you of this notion. “Oh good,” she says. Somehow, in her green dress, she looks like a giant pear with legs. She has a slightly less giant pear smooshed on her head. You think you can see the juice dripping down her hair. “The vegetables are ready for harvesting. Go out and dig them up.”

You nod, hoping there won’t be any sudden floods or cave-ins or giant creatures flinging you about. A glance at the garden patch reveals nothing but dirt is visible. “I don’t see any vegetables?”

“That’s what the x-ray machine is for,” she says, and points at a cubical contraption on somewhat rickety-looking wheels. “On the screen you can see your vegetable target for this morning. Oh, and remember to save the dirt you dig up!”

With that, she leaves you to the dirt. You see a bunch of ostensibly vegetable-related numbers, as well as the text X-ray scans available: 144.

Suddenly, a pear mashes itself onto your head. You yelp and look around – all your friends are also newly bepeared.

“Just because you’re new doesn’t mean you can violate dress code!” the Manager shouts.

You sigh as the pear juice drips down your cheek. Looks like there’s nothing for you to do but start digging.

Team Strawberry

The sweet, luscious smell of ripe strawberries fills your nose as you step into the Fraise Lounge. It's a large yet cozy space, with big soft pink armchairs and green runners twining up the legs of hand-carved wooden tables. All the servers wear cute little hats of strawberry leaves and polka-dotted pink aprons. And there sure are a lot of servers, all bustling around trying to look busy, even though there's hardly anyone else here.

"Excuse me," you say as one hurries past with an empty tray. You're pretty sure she's just been carrying that tray back and forth across the cafe and won't mind the interruption. "Um, we've been assigned to cook here."

"Oh thank goodness," the server exclaims. "Stray! It's the new group!"

Stray is apparently the name of the person who comes out of the kitchen, wiping their hands on their apron. They've gone a step further than the servers and dyed their hair green, arranging it into leaf-like sections above their cheerful pink face. Or… are those actual leaves? You don't want to stare, but you've also never seen a strawberry/human hybrid before.

"About time," they say, gesturing for you to follow them through the kitchen and out the back door. "Since the golems vanished, we've been struggling to meet demand."

"Not to be rude," you say, "but... what demand? You don't seem to get a lot of customers."

"Just wait until the lunch rush!" Stray laughs. "Trust me, we'll need everything you can dig up and then some."

The garden plot is a big square of plain dirt. "But nothing's growing out here," you say.

Stray hands you a shovel with a wink. "Start digging. You might be surprised. And save the dirt – if we get enough to build a patio, we can handle even more customers."

As you take the shovel, a dashboard appears with a set of indicators: target amounts of vegetables, something hidden with a question mark, and the confusing sentence X-ray scans remaining: 144. It's weird being inside a video game, but at least you're clear on what to do next. The other members of your team get shovels, and you begin to dig.

Instructions for Board 1 are here.

Battleship 2025: Board 1 Rules

Jul. 11th, 2025 11:21 pm
battleshipex: (Default)
[personal profile] battleshipmod posting in [community profile] battleshipex

Each square on the 12x12 grid contains either vegetables or dirt. Your team must dig up all the vegetables on its grid in order to advance to the next level.

Team progress trackers for Board 1:

Team Grape | Team Lemon | Team Pear | Team Strawberry

Vegetables

There are 8 total vegetable patches in 5 different shapes. Each shape is associated with exactly one type of vegetable. There may be multiple patches of any vegetable. Here is what the shapes look like:

A grid showing five different arrangements of squares

The shapes are:

Line, 2 squares

Diagonal line, 3 squares

L-shape, 3 squares

W-shape, 5 squares

Bump, 6 squares

Shapes may be rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees, or flipped horizontally and/or vertically from how they appear in the diagram. Each team's arrangement of shapes is different.

Dirt

Dirt squares have a value between 400 and 1000 grams, and will be applied to support your efforts during the lunch rush (ie. reduce the number of hit points needed to clear the boss). Additionally, each strike of overkill beyond a board goal claims a bonus equivalent to 300 grams of dirt, up to a maximum of 10 strikes of overkill against each board goal.

The collective value of all dirt squares on the board plus overkill will not equal more than half the boss's hit points.

How to clear a square

Each square is assigned a goal. The list of goals is displayed below the grid. A goal consists of a number and two tags, such as "16, Enemies to Lovers, IN SPACE." Meet the goal by posting works that claim one (or more) of those tags. A work that uses multiple tags on a square contributes to a goal multiple times.

Every work must fulfill one of this year's requests in the prompt collection, and be gifted to the prompter.

Prompt Collection (AO3) | Prompt Collection (Automagic App)

If you're on a team, your works must be posted to your team's collection to count toward clearing squares on your team's board. If you're not on a team, post treats to the main collection.

Grape Collection | Lemon Collection | Pear Collection | Strawberry Collection | Main Collection

In addition, there are board-wide goals for AO3 labels such as “Major Character Death,” work mediums, and freeforms that do not appear on any board. You must collectively achieve these goals to complete the board.

Teams may continue to fulfill board goals beyond the required number to claim bonus “overkill” points. Each board goal counts up to 10 strikes of overkill.

Claim relevant tags in your author's note, in a comma-separated list (e.g. "First Kiss, Fisting, Friendship"), with the tags exactly as they appear in the tagset. The mods will only count tags claimed this way. Fic and podfic may claim 1 tag per 100 words. Art may claim all tags that are clearly present in the work. Metadata such as ship type will be claimed automatically.

Each team’s members (and only members of that team) should post works to their respective team collection. Each team member is capped at 7 works per board. The collection is moderated, and works will be approved as the mods count them.

All teams also possess an “X-ray.” Once a square requires 3 or fewer tag claims before it is cleared, teams may go into the team’s shots channel in Discord to request to use the x-ray. Teams do not need to name specific squares for the X-ray; when used it will automatically scan all squares with 3 or fewer works remaining. Using the X-ray will reveal whether qualifying squares contain a vegetable or not. This information will be displayed in the list of goals, next to their respective squares. An X-rayed square is not a cleared square, and does not grant the team anything other than information; teams must still fully clear a square to retrieve the vegetables or dirt beneath it.

Once enough works have been approved to fully clear a square, it will be marked "Ready to Call." Call the (specific, with grid location) shot in the team’s shots channel in Discord to finish digging up the square and retrieve what's beneath it: vegetables or dirt.

When all the squares of a vegetable patch have been found, the mods will announce to the team that the vegetable patch has been dug up, and reveal which vegetables the team found. Mods will also announce if all patches of a particular vegetable have been dug up.

Advancing to the next level

Once the garden grid is cleared of vegetables and the board goals have been met, the team will collectively decide whether to keep digging up dirt or return to the cafe and confront the lunch rush. When you've decided, announce in the shots channel that you're ready to begin the boss battle.

If you're on a Battleship team and haven't already joined the Discord or claimed your Discord role, now's the time! Your team members there will share the team coordination sheet and cheer you on.

Good luck!

So, I am looking for a fanvid made for festivids for “Snow White: a Tale of Terror” called “Bare your Teeth” using Lady Gaga’s teeth by vidder e- transitions back in 2010.  

I seem to remember having accessed it either through YouTube or Vimeo at some point but all of the old links I have found link to a download on the vidder’s personal website, which no longer exists.  

I’m hoping for a link or if someone had downloaded it at some point and still has it, I would be forever grateful.

Admin: Poll: Challenge tags

Background: Dreamwidth has a 1500-tag limit, and [community profile] fan_flashworks is constantly bumping up against it. So we have an ongoing tag management project to try to gain ourselves some elbow room. You might have seen our periodic posts about merging old single-use fandom tags. Unfortunately, we are coming to the end of the easily-merged fandom tags, and so need to find another way to reduce our tag use.

Today's topic: We mods have been talking about the challenge tags (c: amnesty, c: science, etc.) These tags label an entry as responding to a particular prompt (or being part of an amnesty round).

We're not sure if anyone's actually using these! So we wanted to check in with you all before deciding between A) removing them entirely, or B) leaving only the ones from the last 12 months (and only tagging amnesty posts with the amnesty tag). Option A) would make our mod lives easier, but if they are serving a purpose for some of you, we definitely want to take that into account when making our decision. :-)

If we remove the challenge tags, we will change the standard subject-line format for all rounds to "[challenge]: [fandom]: [medium]: [title]", ie, the same as the current format for amnesty rounds. Community members are welcome to go back and add the challenge to the subject lines of previous entries, too (though we know that for some of you, that would be a Herculean task!).

Please take a moment to vote in this poll.

Poll #33347 Challenge tags
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: Just the Poll Creator, participants: 28

How do you use the challenge tags here?

I don't use them.
17 (60.7%)

I use them to find new-to-me fanworks for a specific prompt.
3 (10.7%)

I use them to filter out fanworks that don’t interest me.
0 (0.0%)

I use them to find specific fanworks on the community that are already familiar to me.
1 (3.6%)

I use them (in addition to my maker tag) to find my own fanworks.
6 (21.4%)

I use them some other way. (Please elaborate in the comments.)
4 (14.3%)

So that's what those tags are! I never knew!

Challenge 485: Face

Our new challenge is:

FACE



As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Sunday, July 20th. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

Also, keep an eye out for the next [community profile] ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the [community profile] ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

Prompt: 484. Science
Word count: 449
Rating: M
Summary: Cameron's therapist says it's normal, it's not her fault. Cameron's mind says she always had a choice.
Warnings: A/B/O, past child sexual abuse, mentioned sexual content, incest.
Note: I came across the term "arousal non-concordence", made the most basic research, and it seems to fit a couple of characters of mine. Since I've been working in writing about this one again, she's the chosen one to suffer.
I'm basically a high school dropout, I apologise for inaccuracies – you can blame them on the nature of omegaverse.

Thank you to all our pinch hitters. <3 Remember that anyone who isn't signed up but is only pinch hitting can leave prompts at our treats for pinch hitters post! This is a great place to look if you're interested in creating treats.

Ideally, these would be due 18 July at 23:59 US Eastern time, one day before our planned reveals date. However, it's possible I'll have to delay the collection opening to make sure all participants are covered, so if you know you can take one of these pinch hits but will need longer than the 18th, please let me know, and we can discuss.

A delay looks likely at this time, and I'll make an announcement about that tomorrow.

If you can claim one of these, please comment with your AO3 name and the number of the pinch hit you want. All comments are screened.
