Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : C'est une belle journée pour un labyrinthe ! (Yoshitomi Akihito)

Catégorie : Latte : Une variations sophistiquée et crémeuse (Une couverture aux couleurs d'un latte à la cannelle et à la cardamome, marron, beige)



Un manga en un tome. Quatre jeunes filles aux personnalités différences, entre 11 et 14 ans, n'ont jamais vu la lumière du jour et vivent dans une ville sous terre, sans avoir jamais vu la lumière du jour. Là elles explorent et s'amusent. Quand il y a un accident, des robots reconstruisent. Graphiquement, c'est un univers très sympa.

On ne sait pas, au début, comment le monde est devenu comme cela, mais quelques mystères (les hommes en noir) sont présentés tout du long. A la fin, quand on ne s'attendait plus à une résolution, mais c'est presque anecdotique. Je ne sais pas trop comment lire l'ambiance du manga, si ce monde post-apocalyptique est vraiment pas si mal que ça, un bon endroit pour se réjouir, ou si c'est plus sur la résilience des enfants qui vivent comme s'il l'était. Cela tourne un peu philosophique vers la fin mais pas de façon très claire.

Il y a des idées intrigantes, mais il y a malheureusement beaucoup trop de points insupportables dans la tranche de vie, avec bien trop d'histoires de nudité, de petites culottes et de maillots de bain pour ma tolérance, et en plus elles prennent de la place qui pourrait être utilisée pour du worldbuilding. Ce n'était pas horrible, mais cela reste une petite déception.

Slo-Mo Rewatch: Guardian episode 1, part 2

Zhao Yunlan sprawled on a couch, grinning at his phone. The background shows a purple sky with stars. Text reads, "Slo-Mo Rewatch. Guardian - half an episode per week @ sid_guardian.dreamwidth.org"


Hi, welcome to our second instalment of the Guardian drama Slo-Mo Rewatch! Join us to watch half an episode a week (at your leisure) and then come and chat about it here in comments. Or you can just jump into the comments without rewatching, of course!

Here is last week's half-episode. On to the second half!

Episode 1, from 22:28

Summary: Guo Changcheng is having a day! After being dangled from a window and falling, now he fails at tailing Shen Wei and Li Qian, takes a lost grandma home, and promptly runs into a shadowy attacker! But action hero Chu Shuzhi comes to the rescue. Shen Wei studies Zhao Yunlan's file, and we get our first YOHE flashback. Zhao Yunlan, who has concluded the attacker mistook Lu Ruomei for Li Qian, tails Li Qian and has another intense encounter with Professor Shen. The Shadow Man attacks Li Qian at the university, but Shen Wei protects her - until he's thrown off the roof, just as the SID arrives. The team meets the Black-Cloaked Envoy for the first time.

Shen Wei protecting Li Qian on the rooftop

Quote:

Zhao Yunlan: "Tell you the truth, I really don't know why, but from the moment I saw you, I've had this feeling like we've known each other a long time."

Shen Wei: "Who knows, maybe we really have met before."

Detail:

One of my favourite details in this half of the episode is the Envoy's very dramatic arrival on the rooftop - storm clouds and lightning and time stoppage and all. The best part about this is something a first-time viewer can't know - that this is clearly a choice on Shen Wei's part. He's looking to make an impression, hee! :D

Questions:

What's your favourite moment or line in this half of the episode? Anything you noticed that you'd completely forgotten about, or never noticed before? How literally do you take Shen Wei's "I've searched for you for 10,000 years"? What do you think Zhao Yunlan is thinking when Shen Wei just gives away that he knows about Dixingren? If you were on that rooftop when the Envoy took the Shadow Man away, would you speak up like Xiao-Guo? And if you're familiar with the novel, any thoughts about how this compares?

(These are all just conversation starters - feel free to answer all, some, or none, and to say as much or as little as you like! You don't have to be keeping up with the rewatch to join in!)

And here is our schedule - please do sign up to host a post if you can!

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Naïade (Maria Surducan, Anna J. Benczédi)

Catégorie : Pour nous qui avons besoin de souffler (Nature - Ecologie - Conscience - Espoir - Paix - Poésie - Solarpunk)



Un tome unique, l'histoire d'une naïade ; dans ce monde ce sont comme des selkies, mais avec des loutres. Dans un camp de chercheurs d'or arrive un homme éduqué, intelligent, qui cherche du nouveau plutôt que la fortune. Une naïade fait exprès de se laisser capturer par lui, pour jouer un peu, mais elle finit par avoir des sentiments pour lui. Tellement qu'elle va l'aider à trouver son or, admirer ses créations scientifiques brillantes, même si elles détruisent la nature, et que ses soeurs et le Gardien ne sont pas d'accord.

Je suis déçue, ça aurait pu être une histoire super ! Pendant tout le début, on sent la tension monter, la naïade partagée entre deux univers, qui fait des mauvais choix ! Et puis, la fin est en queue de poisson, redevient une histoire de selkie cliché sans utiliser tout ce qui rend celle-ci différente. On se dit tout ça pour ça. On se demande, vu la façon dont cela finit, ce n'est pas plutôt l'histoire d'Ivan que son histoire à elle, et même pas la partie la plus intéressante de son histoire même si c'est le traumatisme central.

[Edit] J'ai appris récemment que même si ce n'était pas mentionné du tout, il y avait une suite, qui concerne la fille, peut-être que si elle revoit sa mère j'aurai la conclusion qui me manquait ?

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

This was a sweet albeit kind of heavy handed story about magical orphans facing societal prejudice and an unfeeling bureaucracy and learning how to understand their own self worth, guided by an awkward trio of queer adults who are also struggling to get their shit together. The speech Linus gives DICOMY at the end is way over the top but otherwise the book makes its points reasonably well.

But I struggled to completely connect with it. Ironically, though many of the reviews I found online criticized it for blasphemy and anti-Christian ideology, I actually found it too Christian. One of the magical children is the son of Satan, purportedly the Antichrist, and is endowed with reality warping powers and internal voices urging him to destroy the world. The book's heroic characters insist he's merely an imaginative and sensitive 6 year old who if properly loved will not destroy the world, but I found that even taking a side on this question was too theological on a path I was uninterested in following the book to. Either Arthur and Linus are right and Lucy isn't actually the Antichrist but merely a potential Antichrist, or they're wrong and the pull of his fated destiny isn't about his choices but about the role the prophecy will force him into. Klune created the book's worldbuilding, he can pick his own answer to this question, but if you're not invested in Christian eschatology it's not really an interesting debate.

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : L'été fantôme (Elizabeth Holleville)

Catégorie : Ceux qui ignorent qu'ils n'existent pas (Fatalité - Deuil - Esprit - Fragment - Secret - Combat - Peintresse - Art - Oeuvre française)



A la suite d'un accident, je l'ai lu en anglais. Louison va chez sa grand-mère pour les grandes vacances, comme tous les ans. Mais ses grandes cousines avec qui elle s'amusait tellement sont maintenant plus intéressées par la romance et sortir le soir. Heureusement Louison n'est pas seule : elle découvre qu'un fantôme hante la propriété, la soeur de sa grand-mère, morte il y a longtemps, quand elle avait son âge.

C'est un livre sur le passage à l'adolescence et ses problèmes. Les situations des cousines ne sont pas originales ni vraiment surprenantes, mais ont un réalisme assez frais, et pareil pour la relation avec la fille fantôme, ce sont les décisions prises à la fin, la maturité et le deuil, qui comptent, plus que le scénario. Ce n'est pas forcément ce que je cherchais, mais c'était bien fait.

Aussi, l'arc avec le chien était triste, mais j'ai aimé la conclusion.

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson

This year's Book I Read Because Multiple People Raved About It in the Worldcon Discord. The first book in a secondary world fantasy series with lots of complicated political intrigue, the rave reviews were extremely enthusiastic but also quite vague. And now that I have read it, I understand the vagueness. It's a hard book to describe. It's constantly shifting and transforming, with twist after twist leaving you constantly unsure what the book is actually about and where it is going. But the twists are solid and well supported and never pull you out of the world of the book. But it was an exhilarating read and I highly recommend it.

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Love Me to Death (Toonimated)

catégorie : Ceux qui ignorent qu'ils n'existent pas (Fatalité - Deuil - Esprit - Fragment - Secret - Combat - Peintresse - Art - Oeuvre française)



Un webtoon dont j'ai lu une cinquantaine de chapitres, pour l'instant.

Victor est un nécromancien dans une ville où la nécromancie est punie de mort (et c'est de naissance, même sans s'entraîner il peut parler aux fantômes, ce n'est pas comme s'il avait le choix de ne pas être nécromancien). Un jour, Enrique, le jeune héritier d'une famille locale riche et puissante, lui fait une proposition : s'il ressuscite sa fiancée Mercedes, morte le jour de leurs noces, Enrique garantira que Victor peut s'enfuir dans une ville plus tolérante.

Victor accepte, réduit à sa dernière extrémité. Mais quand Mercedes revient, elle est amnésique, et liée par Victor à un lien psychique très émotionnellement fort. Tout cela ne fait plaisir à absolument personne.

Au début, parce qu'entre les souvenirs de Mercedes qui reviennent peu à peu (et d'ailleurs, était-ce une mort naturelle ? probablement non), l'inquisition locale qui est à deux doigts de tout comprendre, et les brigands de la ville qui détestent être juste utilisés, Victor, Mercedes et Enrique vont beaucoup se sauver le vie les une aux autres et leur relation va peu à peu se transformer en romance poly.

J'aime beaucoup ce concept ! Je trouve souvent le comics trop léger sur certains sujets : le deuil, l'amnésie, le soulbond involontaire, j'aurais aimé tout ceci avec un peu plus d'angst, voire d'horreur. Le scénario n'est pas très rapide non plus. Mais d'un autre côté, le fait que ce soit une romance fluff et humoristique me garantit une fin heureuse, et je shippe beaucoup l'OT3 central.

2025 RPF Coordination Post

Please use this post to talk about the RPF or RPF-adjacent fandoms you're interested in nominating, requesting, or offering this year!


RPF nomination categories can be fluid in Yuletide, so we encourage RPF fans to coordinate with each other about the social circles, career groups, and characters you're interested in, to help ensure the resulting categories suit as many people as possible.

Coordinating your RPF nomination with other fans is the best way to make sure we can approve RPF fandoms quickly and easily. You are also welcome to reach out to us directly at yuletideadmin@gmail.com to discuss a potentially sensitive nomination.
This year's eligibility post covers what characters and fandom labels you can nominate. Here is a post from 2023 that explains why we may reject some RPF nominations.

While each RPF fandom must still meet Yuletide rules for size (no more than 1,000 complete works in English), we won’t reject an RPF fandom label for being too broad (i.e., for covering too wide a topic). However, we prefer not to approve two fandoms if one of them is a subset of the other, so please use this post to make sure your nomination doesn't clash with someone else's.

Yuletide Fandom Promo 2025!



Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!

Here's where you get those eyes on your fandoms for sign-ups!

Share what makes your Yuletide fandoms the shiniest and why you love them. A big part of Yuletide is how small our fandoms can be, and this is a good way to make sure other people know what gems there are out there!

SPREADSHEET: Check it out! Thank you to Ouie!




Here are some areas you can cover:

<b>Title</b>:
Please put your fandom's title in the subject of your comment, too. This helps people find your promo again.

<b>Media</b>:

<b>Approx length</b>:

<b>Where to find it</b>:
(If giving links, please only link to legal sources. You may want to encourage people to contact you directly if they are having trouble finding a canon and you can give them tips)

<b>What is it, in summary?</b>:

<b>What do you love about it?</b>:

<b>What sort of things are you likely to request for it?</b>:

<b>Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?</b>:

<b>Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence)</b>:
This is at your discretion and is not expected to be comprehensive




(Bonus options: What are you thinking of requesting for this? If you're thinking of nominating worldbuilding, what sort of worldbuilding topics might people explore?)


Useful tip (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):


- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.

Yuletide 2025 Evidence Post

Yuletide 2025 nominations begin on September 15 and end at 9 PM UTC on 26 September. See what can be nominated on the eligibility post. You can brainstorm, coordinate, and promote your fandoms at the participant community on DW.

Some fandoms need evidence to be approved. Comment on this post if:
  • The fandom you are nominating has too many stories to be eligible, but only because a tiny pool of authors has written most of it, OR because a significant majority are unrelated but tagged as crossovers, OR because a significant majority tagged as 'English' aren't in English

  • The fandom you are nominating appears on AO3 as part of a larger “umbrella” fandom, but you can clearly show that the fics for your fandom are under the limit

  • The fandom you are nominating is a fanwork (please include a link to the creator’s permissions statement and also describe how the fanwork is distinct from its source fandom)

  • The fandom you are nominating is an original work shared on a fan archive (please include a link to the creator’s permissions statement)

  • The fandom you are nominating is a social media post (please check RPF restrictions), headline, meme, or other “ephemeral” canon (please include the URL for the canon)

  • The fandom you are nominating includes a Worldbuilding nomination for an RPF or other real-world fandom

  • The fandom you are nominating includes the words “All Media Types” or “and Related Fandoms” and you believe you need to use that label

  • The fandom you are nominating is closely related to another fandom, especially if the other fandom is ineligible (ex: a Star Wars cartoon or tie-in novel, a prequel to a popular book series, or an audio drama sequel of an ineligible TV show)

  • The fandom you are nominating does not yet exist on AO3 and is hard to google (very common name, few sources in English, etc). Note: Most new fandoms do not need evidence.

Mods will not consider the following evidence:
  • Use of original characters

  • Crossovers

  • Fic quality

  • Ambiguous endings in stories that are marked 'complete'

  • Mistagging, wrong language, or not-many-authors evidence for fandoms that appear to have 1100+ eligible works on AO3. If you believe your fandom should be an exception, talk to the mods directly before commenting with evidence


If your fandom is one of these cases, you must leave evidence this year even if the fandom has been approved in the past. Otherwise, mods may reject the fandom if it’s nominated without evidence.

You must submit evidence before nominations close at 9 PM UTC on 26 September. It may take us some time to review and respond to your post, so if your nomination slots depend on our response, we recommend posting your evidence as early as possible!

Please put the fandom name in the subject line of your comment as well as inside your comment.

Suggested template:
<b>Fandom</b>:
<b>Possible issue with the fandom</b>:
<b>Why this fandom should be considered eligible</b>:
<b>Link to source (ephemeral fandoms, fanworks, and original works on fan archives)</b>:
<b>Link to creator's permissions statement (fanworks and original works on fan archives)</b>:

You are welcome to link to documents containing your evidence, if your post is long.

You can use bookmarklets for checking how many of your fandom’s works on AO3 are in English, complete, and over 1,000 words long, for any rating.

If your fandom appears too big before you use those filters, and is easily under 1,000 works after you apply the filters, then you don't need to tell us about it.

Pumpkin Autumn Challenge : Sixtine 1-3 (Frédéric Maupomé, Aude Soleilhac)

Catégorie : Rester tout le temps avec Brindille (Amitié - Animaux - Soin - Aventurière - Changement - Jeunesse - Bande dessinée)



Sixtine est une adolescente : son père est mort quand elle était très jeune, sa mère a des gros problèmes d'argent, mais elle a trois fantômes de pirates qui lui tiennent toujours compagnie, et qui lui ont appris des petits trucs : pourquoi, par exemple, ne pas voler le trésor qui exposé au musée en ce moment même ?

J'ai vraiment adoré le tome 1, le mélange d'aventure, de surnaturel, de tranche de vie sur une famille compliquée, de mystère sur la famille paternelle de Sixtine. Ensuite, le 2 et le 3 m'ont moins plu ; c'était toujours sympa, Sixtine et ses fantômes sont toujours super ! Mais le rythme m'a semblé plus lent, les relations d'amitié du premier tome passent au second plan derrière un triangle amoureux qui ne sert pas à grand chose.

Ceci dit, je veux toujours tellement lire le tome 4 et savoir comment ça finit ! Mais ma bibliothèque municipale ne l'a pas, peut-être que je devrai l'acheter ^^

BATS

Between one thing and another we wound up having a semi-impromptu mini-break in Chester, including a few hours at Chester Zoo.

... where we went into the bats enclosure and were transfixed for about an hour, basically from the moment we walked in until chucking-out time.

It's a big dark room, artificially crepuscular, with lots of trees (dead) for roosts, and somewhere in the vicinity of 350 bats (Seba's short-tailed and Rodrigues fruit bats). THEY WILL COME SO CLOSE TO YOU. THEY WILL COME SO CLOSE TO YOU. They were flying well within a foot of our faces. You could FEEL THE WIND FROM THEIR WINGBEATS.

And A was greatly honoured by one LANDING ON THEIR TROUSERS.

There were many other Excellent Creatures -- the Humboldt penguins in particular were very excited by the rain (so much porpoising), and the giant otters were indeed giant, and there was an enormous dragonfly, and the flamingos went from almost entirely asleep (including one baby that had not yet got the hang of the whole one-leg trick) to YELLING INCESSANTLY after being buzzed by the scarlet ibis.

Extremely good afternoon out, 13/10, would recommend.

Tuesday mishmash: a milestone | weather | tiny tomatoes | impending Lamb

As of last week, we've lived in our current place for sixteen years. (As ever, I selfishly appreciate that one of the people whose wedding we attended the day before we moved always posts about their anniversary, which reminds me of how long it's been.) Just a few more years will make this the place I've lived longest in my life. (My childhood home currently holds the record at eighteen years.)

We've had some more rain, but still not nearly enough, and enough people haven't been getting on board with the water commission's request to conserve water (apparently there's been no noticeable drop in overall usage) that we're now expecting mandatory conservation to roll out sometime this week. (Does anyone know what that'll actually look like? LOL no.) Fun times. Good work [sarcastic], everyone.

Our tiny, tiny tomato plant that we brought home so shortly before hitting official "we're in a drought" status has tiny, tiny tomatoes on it! They are very green, and I have no idea what their odds are of ripening properly, but given that the drought means we've only actually watered the plant once or twice since potting it, I'm surprised to see fruit at all. Good work [sincere], Tiny Tim.

Under the circumstances, I'm just as glad that we didn't actually try to do any gardening in earnest this year, which we might have if we'd gotten our very own hose installed on the back of the house earlier in the season.

Sometime next year, Cult of the Lamb is getting its first paid expansion (not to be confused with the...three? four?...free ones that they've released). Will I touch another game before that comes out? Precedent says no! But I'm very excited about this one.
