You all need to know that I own this (though I don't know where it is). They never did release a separate Gordon POP; these aren't removable from the scene with the light. (I think there is a Gordon POP from Gotham maybe?)

I appreciate you @aprildawn85.bsky.social and not just for commenting on each chapter of that fic I'm posting but gosh that's nice. I should do that for people! Only I don't usually read WIPs. Well, I should just comment more and leave Kudos more because it turns out those things are nice to get.

"This time there will be some plot development or the characters will finally kiss or something." /writes 7,000 more words of people just talking. I swear to god my asexual AuDHD ass amuses me (though seriously I would like to get somewhere with these).

Wondering if there's a way you can tell AO3 to always add a certain tag to your works. Just take "Slow Burn" as a given and maybe I should also tag for "too much talking" or something. /am writing (again).

Price keeps dropping on this amazing property but more importantly today I saw pictures from a No Kings rally in the nearest town which is way the heck up in northern MN ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook,_M... )

I fixed some things in this fic in August, then freaked out at the end of September when I noticed the last two paragraphs got left off when I made that edit (WTF?). Today I have reformatted the chat/texting parts and fixed the emdashes. Hopefully I did not break anything in the process.

I appreciate the person who edited this down (removing the Joker stuff that's intercut with it in the movie). (It occurs to me I would love a cut with a lot less Joker, but that's always the case.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Ar...

No cartilage in your knee seems bad. (Also forever amused by him jumping out the window the way he does. Totally normal way to go about things.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8J2...

I appreciate the Getty photographer who took these shots at The Dark Knight Rises premiere. (Most shots were group shots, people with their dates, solo, or . . . these two.)

There is only one work of fanfic on AO3 for this ship and that's disappointing (though it is quite good). (I'm out here wanting more fanworks for this movie now. A case can be made for an OT3 if that is relevant to your interests.) (Feels weird talking about ships in a movie about a genocide.)

Why was I up at 3am looking at pictures on getty images? I don't know. Sometimes these things just happen.

Returning to this thread/question as I work again on a vid show I'm simply calling "warmth" for now. Possibly to show on the anniversary of my husband's death (sigh). Happy to hear recs for vids that are not your own, too. (I wound up using some of these in my More Joy playlist IIRC.)

I'd say I'm curious what they're laughing about but it was probably something to do with the absurdity of a ceremony where someone puts their hands and feet in cement.

Somehow missed this photo previously, which is important research material or something. I don't even know.

#FanficRec for "it’s good to be young but let’s not kid ourselves" by suzukiblu. A MCU Steve Rogers (& Bucky Barnes) focused fic. Just reread this, still so damn funny but then it takes a turn, much as the movies do. It's sweet. archiveofourown.org/bookmarks/41...

Oh geez, I just read a version of one of my stories that I downloaded from AO3 and I found a couple of formatting errors which I fixed on AO3 (good). Tiny things! But I got to the end and it was not the ending? It missed the paragraph the stories title comes from. WTF. 🧵

That frustration where you want more fanworks for a particular source (or ship) & there isn't much or you've been through it all (oh right, this is how I wound up writing fic but I really am not up for writing it for all those fandoms and I don't make vids and I can't seem to complete my WIPs).

#FanficRec for "Punk Like Punky Brewster" by lurkinglurkerwholurks, a post Superman (2025) movie that's entirely a conversation between Superman and Batman. (Spoilers & won't make sense if you haven't seen the movie.) Love this take on a possible Batman friend for Clark (& Clark's POV is great).

As if River Cartwright hasn't gone through enough on Slow Horses, there's a shocking amount (percentage wise) of whump fic. People like to see him Go Through It I guess. (I would like to see more fanworks for this fandom— vids & fic alike.)

Enjoyed "some heart recalls you every minute" which is susiecarter's latest DCEU SuperBat fic (for SuperBat week). A different take on a time loop story, though there are actually a number of tropes in the story due to the prompts. #FanficRec archiveofourown.org/works/70898761

Reading fic for a small fandom and there are so many stories tagged with a slash between the names of two characters where I am expecting, well, slash and instead it's gen or maybe pre-slash if you squint and it's disorienting. (Do they not know ampersands would be more appropriate?)

This vid has one sequence that always makes me LOL. (It's not just DCEU, but has SuperBat content from other sources . . . ) #FanvidRec

Stop bullying him :-( . #superbat #Batman #superman #ClarkKent #BruceWayne

#FanficRec for "Red Team" by Ginevra_Benci, a 4,077 word SuperBat time loop fic. Good Bruce POV and impressive to do so much with a time loop story in so few words. My bookmark rec (has a quotation from the story as usual, along with brief comments): archiveofourown.org/bookmarks/22...

I'm just saying everyone should post more about James T. Kirk to counteract other Kirk talk. (Have been doing Kirk!Posting on my other account but could always do more.)

If I start (writing) 25 stories I feel I should finish more than 1 or 2 of them. Grumpy with myself over it. I wish I could learn to write shorter things.

I miss doing fanvid watch parties but also have no spoons at least for picking a vid show to do and times/dates and all of that.

Haven't looked at the news. Woke late (after being up too late writing again) and instead am watching O Brother, Where Art Thou? for the first time in ages. And may have blathered about certain movies somewhere (see other account). Highly recommend taking breaks from it all.

Oh no, I might wind up making a Batman Day playlist for 2025; I guess it is September 20th and I've put together vid shows in much shorter timespans than that (hell, I've done it in a couple of hours before).

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Me: "I'm not going to pay attention to how many Kudos my story gets, it's a tiny fandom and I'm still learning how to write fiction & my stuff isn't very good and--" Email: "You've got kudos!" Me: "OMG YAY!" (So long as I focus on the yays & don't fixate on not getting kudos/comments/hits.)

I started writing a new story when I started supper tonight & uh . . . 7,000+ words later & a few rereads later I decided to just freaking post it rather than leaving another WIP sitting there to fuss with and never post. Probably not finished. Gen for now. archiveofourown.org/works/70622381

I probably should not count how many WIPs I have going now (started a new story today). It's annoying how they all feature the same characters just in different situations and I tell myself I'm trying to learn their voices and get a handle on things (& learn how to write) but it's also confusing.

Hmmm. My original AO3 account was created on 2010-01-23, user #5088 and I felt like I was late to the party at the time. (I foolishly created a whole new account later rather than renaming or adding a pseud, I forget why. The account I created in 2013 is user 228080!)

Trying to get back to doing bookmark recs on AO3 & organizing them in collections. So far I've focused on the DC collection with lots of Dark Knight trilogy Bruce/Jim and some SuperBat. There are some very old bookmark recs I moved into collections too. 🤷‍♀️ archiveofourown.org/collections/...

#FanficRec bookmark for "Miracle on Park Avenue" by owlet, a 4,100 word gen MCU tale from the POV of Bucky Barnes. Set post-Winter Soldier. From 2015. I love this fic so much (as noted in my bookmark). Short & warm & I usually cry a little in a good way. archiveofourown.org/bookmarks/22...

Ingrid Bergman was born on this date in 1915. I love this fanvid featuring her work with Cary Grant in Notorious and Indiscreet. They're so good together. (I've got another vid I like featuring them both I'll put in my next post.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esx2...

#FanficRec bookmark for "it was you all the way down" by cherryfeather, a 15K word SuperBat fic. Identity porn with one of my favorite reveals of their identities to each other. But first Clark has to shadow Bruce Wayne for 2 weeks, I'm sure it will be fine. archiveofourown.org/bookmarks/22...

I made significant edits to this fic after I reread it and found it painful how often I repeated certain words and phrases. And I added italics to some things. And tweaked several sentences. I'm still learning how to write and have no clue WTF I'm doing.

#FanficRec for "Hiding In Plain Sight" by frozenpotions Summary: "Clark Kent, reporter for the Daily Planet, is clearly just Superman wearing glasses. For some reason, no-one but Bruce can see that. There is a distinct possibility that Bruce has lost his mind." archiveofourown.org/works/49616086

Wild sometimes to realize how differently other people consume media & what a wide range of ways there are to do so. I read a ton of fanfic but 98% of the time I read it on my Kindle or Kobo (these days everything is done via calibre/FanFicFare, though I used to use "Send to Kindle" a ton). 🧵

Was just checking in to say 🚨 new susiecarter fic just dropped 🚨 but I can do better than just posting that because OMG, look at this gorgeous art that goes with it (see thread for more & a link to the fic). (Haven't read it yet, but sooooon.)

Given how much time I spend looking at fic tagged with "Identity Porn" (& SuperBat fic in general) I do not know how I missed "ship-to-ship combat" by pomeloquat until today but here we are. I was not prepared. What a delight. archiveofourown.org/works/39666915

The wait is over! The works of our amazing participants prepared for SuperBat Big Bang 2025 are finally revealed! Follow us here or our Tumblr for updates: superbatbigbang2025.tumblr.com?source=share And a link to the collection! archiveofourown.org/collections/... #sbbb25 #superbatbigbang2025

I did not know this was a thing but now I do thanks to this thread (and uh, a bit more viewing over on TikTok). (Why are these so funny?) (Some people doing quality work here. Good for them.)
