Hmm... Not weird, but sweet fact about me : when I was born, my grandma thought the maternity bay was not heated enough and she bought a blue fleece blanket to make sure I was warm. I have never, not for a single night slept without this blankie since that first ever day of my life. So, kudos to grandma for making a very insightful investment lol 😅 When I was a wee kiddo, I'd run around dragging my blankie around me everywhere, so my parents joked that I was helping them dust the floor and said the blankie was my "Serpillière" (Mop). And that's the story of how "Serpi" (Moppie) became my childhood best friend and lifelong doudou 💙 I still cannot sleep without her and take her with me anytime I travel 27 years later 😊 One of her corners is my favourite one to rub my fingers on as a soothing stim (she's become soooo soft there after decades of stimming lmao) and is starting to fall into pieces a bit ^^" But it's funny because the holes there look like she's a pale blue ghost with a face now ! 👻

That morning in 1999 ; they just found out…

First time trying a big piece on procreate, i’m glad I went for a monochrome so I could work on my (non existent) shadows skills. I don’t draw scenes like this very often even on traditional media so I’m quite happy with how it turned out.

Sorry for the angst, mental health is a sh*tshow right now 🫠 So i’m torturing my favorite characters because i’m a terrible person ✨

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

I’ve already listed all my fic wips, so here are the art ones 🎨 I’m generally not that comfortable with posting art wips snippets, but if you ask nicely... I just might 👀

rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your wip folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. tag as many people as you have wips. people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then post a little snippet or tell them something about it!

answered on Reddit already but still reblogging this great initiative ! loved taking a trip down memory lane <3

Interest in hobbyist archival research into *Artemis Fowl* online fan communities (2000-2012)

I'm working on a post about online AF fan communities in the early 2000s, and I am curious to hear whether anyone on here participated in or was aware of some of these groups (FWIW, I cross-posted this on Reddit and have a few notes regarding the francophone fansphere!).

Criminality (Fanlore Wiki link) was a fanfiction archive (2003-2016) where community members would share recommendations, create fanfiction prompt challenges, host fanfiction exchanges/events, and discuss the AF fan community (e.g., Mary Sues. Personally, I couldn't care less about the "quality" of people's OCs, as if I don't like a work, I simply stop reading it, easy-as, but fandom culture at the time was... fractious, to put it lightly, when it came to Mary Sues).

It's no longer possible to access the Criminality webpage; I can't even find much online about "breakthepressure", which was presumably the content management system (CMS) for Criminality.

Around the time Criminality came into existence, the Orion Awards collection was created on Fanfiction Net (~2001). Each year, fans would nominate fanfictions that they particularly enjoyed to be archived in the Orion Awards collection. Although I was too young to participate in fandom/use the internet at the time, my understanding of events (based on what I can find on the Wayback Machine) is that the Fanfiction Net Orion Awards community predated the Orion Awards webpage. The Fanfiction Net Orion Awards collection houses some, but not all, of the Orion Awards winners.

For the Orion Awards, fanfictions would be nominated and awarded across particular categories. Using the Wayback Machine to access the now-defunct breakthepressure Orion Awards webpage, I found the categories for the awards, which I have attached in screenshot form below.

Around 2007, the community on Criminality moved to the breakthepressure site for the Orion Awards.

What I have shared in based in research rather than personal experience with any of these communities, so I would be curious to hear about whether any fans remember what it was like to be a fan online between 2000-2012, as well as whether there are any other fan sites/communities beyond Criminality and the Orion Awards that you remember!
