My Top 5 New K-pop Songs of 2025 Q2 (plus some bonus recs)
Jul. 18th, 2025 09:52 pmforestsofpineI had this all drafted up by mid-June, but then, just like my Q1 list, a couple last minute contenders popped up to switch things up a bit, and I was super busy with preparations for the wedding(!) of my niece (who's more like a second daughter to me) and didn't have time to update it until now. So that's why this is a bit late. Anyway, here's some of what I was listening to last quarter!

Doctor Who: Shear Force by Trobadora
Jul. 18th, 2025 02:36 pmkingstoken posting in fancakeFandom: Doctor Who
Pairings/Characters: Twelve/Missy/Jack
Rating: M
Length: 11,681 words
Creator Links: Trobadora
Theme: Working Together, time travel
Summary: This is what it takes to hold together what has been sheared apart.
Or: The Doctor, Jack Harkness and Missy encounter a weapon from the Time War.
Reccer's Notes: Jack visits the Doctor to berate him for releasing the Master from the vault. While he's there, something terrible is happening to time itself. The Doctor and Missy have to work together with Jack's help to stabilize their timeline. The author does such a great job showing you these little snippets of possible timelines, and giving you just enough that you want to know more. There is a sex scene between the three of them, but it makes sense in the context of story, and is about so much more than just sex. If you like Twelve and Missy and have always wanted to see what it would have been like to throw Jack into the mix, then please read this one.

Wishlist -- all the prompts!
Jul. 18th, 2025 12:52 pmchina_shopguardian_wishlist is returning next month, yay! It's my favourite event. It runs like fandomtrees: people sign up with a wishlist of things they'd like to receive, and then anyone can make them gifts. One of the things I love about it is that every year I make things that would never have occurred to me otherwise: the SID Team writing RPS, Arthurian-inspired AU, tea shop AU, Zhu Hong learning martial arts, Li Qian joining the SID, etc.I find most of my own prompts revolve, by default, around my main /-pairings, so I try to make a conscious effort to include gen and &-pairing prompts in my signups too. And (speaking not as a co-mod, but as a co-participant) I'd like to gently encourage everyone else to do the same, if they'd like to receive that kind of thing, because I love writing little gen and other-pairing things (as well as SW/ZYL), and prompts are love. :D
