deadline

Boo! Less than three days until works are due!

Works are due October 24, 23:59 UTC/7:59 EDT. Please take this opportunity to double-check assignment requirements and that you've actually posted the work instead of leaving it in drafts!

Please also remember there will be no extensions.

After the works deadline, there will be a week for pinch hitting and treating to get ready for work reveals on Halloween.

Speaking of which, our Community Challenge of Treating Every* Participant will kick officially into gear after the post-deadline pinch hits go out! There will be a treat sheet for tracking.

*some restrictions apply
**like opting out of treats, haha

FFA DW Post #2372- The classic single-biome SF trope: ice planet, jungle planet, yaoifist planet ...

FFA discussion covers a wide variety of topics and has a very flexible view of 'fandom' that includes politics, current events, and cooking techniques. FFA is a Choose NOT to Warn experience.

FFA DW Post #2371 - 🎶 Kookaburra sings from the rubber tree / In the Amazon he shouldn't be

Leave! Kookaburra, leave!
Find the habitat correct for thee!🎶

Allegedly the stereotypical dolphin chatter sound effect is a kookaburra pitched up?

🎶 Kookaburra sings from beneath the sea
"But he's gonna drown" what do you mean?
Squeak, kookaburra, squeak
Kookaburra has become marine.🎶

FFA DW Post #2370- Garfield in the MCU: 🎶 Spider-Cat, Spider-Cat, does whatever a Spider-Cat wants

Garfield will accept all of your lasagna as thanks for showing up to the crime scene. (He has not actually done anything to stop or find the criminals, but he's there and isn't that effort enough?)

FFA DW Post #2369 - I'm not one of the Tetris nominators, but I would happily reject the square.

Not because it's boring, but because its bland exterior conceals a capacity for great evil. It's inflexible in its perfect symmetry, a weighty monolith of a piece when I desire fluidity and adaptability.

I'm shocked and concerned to find that the character nominations under Tetris only include I Tetrimino, L Tetrimino, T Tetrimino and Z Tetrimino. What about the square, people?

FFA DW Post #2367 - "When I was younger I had enormous vanities about what I expected from myself.

"I'm glad to have a comfortable and fascinating life. But now I see it for what it is, so I can be braver and more spontaneous and say to myself, 'Oh, screw it, just go out there and do it.'"

RIP Diane Keaton.
