Do you have a Doctor Who community or a journal that we are not currently linking to? Leave a note in the comments and we'll add you to the watchlist ([personal profile] doctor_watch).

Editor's note: Because of the high posting volume and the quantity of information linked in each newsletter, [community profile] doctor_who_sonic will no longer link fanfiction that does not have a header. For an example of what a "good" fanfic header is, see the user info. Spoiler warnings are also greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[personal profile] paranoidangel posting in [community profile] tardis_remix
All works have been revealed. There are 5 works in 4 fandoms.

You may want to change the date of your work to be today's date. That way it will be on the first page for the fandom - otherwise people looking at the fandom page might not see it if they've gone as far back as the date they last checked. To change the date, click on the Edit button. Halfway down the page will be an option to 'Set a different publication date'. Select the box and then change the date. It will let you change it to any date in the present or past, but not in the future.

Thank you to who offered their fic for remixing or wrote a remix. If you have any feedback you can leave it here.

What Am I Reading Wednesday, April 15, 2026

Wednesday, April 15th, 2026 08:51 am
just_ann_now: (Reading: Lilacs and Books)
[personal profile] just_ann_now
Record high temperatures expected today and tomorrow. WHY must it be too hot or too cold? Why can't it ever be just right? The garden is looking lovely, though.


What I Just Finished Reading

The big news: I finished my Dreamwidth Book Bingo!



The last book was The House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende; it was surreal to be reading this while the news was coming in about the results of the Hungarian election. I hope Hungary's democratic revolution is more successful and long-lasting than that of Unnamed South American Country (Probably Chile) in Allende's book.

What I Am Currently Reading/What I Am Reading Next

Goodread's newest challenge dropped today, "Books About Books". I have already read a surprising number of books on the list! But through the magic of Libby have checked out Bad Indians Book Club by Patty Krawec (nonfiction) and Marble Hall Murders, by Anthony Horowitz, one of the sequels to Magpie Murders, which I enjoyed quite a bit.

Question of the Day: Ocean or desert? OCEAN OCEAN OCEAN. I've never been to an actual sand-and-cactus desert, though I did live in the San Luis Valley of Colorado, which (I believe) is classified as a desert because of the low amount of annual rainfal.

Assignments have now been sent out!

  • The deadline is Saturday, April 25 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown). If your assignment has not been submitted to AO3 by then, you will be defaulted.

  • If your recipient did not request a fandom, character, and drabble type you offered, please contact the mods at seasonsofdrabbles AT gmail.com ASAP.

  • If you need to default, please do so via the button on AO3.

  • For the requirements your drabble must meet, please see our guidelines. The collection is moderated and we will be doing a brief check of submitted works before admitting them into the collection. If we see an issue, we will contact you through email.
