fandomcalendarWe’ve reached the first check-in point for Small Web September! How is everyone doing so far? Whether you’re just getting warmed up or are already ticking off goals (or maybe you just found this and want to join – welcome!), come and share your progress in the comments of this check-in.
The theme of this week’s check-in is links! Earlier this year, I came across Coy (osteophage)’s link compilation in praise of links, which led me down a rabbit hole of reading various essays about the importance of hyperlinking and being a good steward of the web. This includes not making your own site into an effective dead end, but sending people on to interesting destinations via links that you’ve included there.
I’ve always been a lover of curating cool webpages and sites, but it struck me that I wasn’t actually doing much of this on my own little website – now, it’s a personal fanworks archive, so you could argue that linking out to random pages is a bit out of step with the purpose of it. However, it broadened my thinking about where I could start adding more links: from archiving rec lists to linking out to gifts that other fans had made for me over the years.
So, the discussion starter for this check-in is: how do you link, and to what? Do you have a link hub or set of interesting finds? Would you like to do more with links?

Questions & Suggestions September & August
Sep. 7th, 2025 09:03 amsilvercat17 posting in rainbowlounge(I keep forgetting to do these, so feel free to poke me via DM or on the discord. You can also keep posting to the most recent one.
This is the place for any questions or suggestions you have forrainbowfic , rainbowlists , and rainbowlounge . This includes 'how does this work?', 'does this supply or style count for this?' and 'what are the limits on this?'
There are a good amount of things that have fuzzy limits or definitions and that's okay. You're allowed to use your judgement of how to use a list, supply, style, etc. But I also want to acknowledge that not everyone is comfortable with ambiguity and that some people need more concrete answers. So this is where to get those (and then it'll be added to the appropriate page). But there are no tag/prompt/writing police here
Anyone can answer (please, if you've been here longer, jump in and help). Please take time to check what the differentrainbowlists pages say because they might have the answer, but don't be afraid to ask something that seems obvious: it may be that I need to clarify a description or q&a. Checking the tags on rainbowfic to see how something has been used is also a good way to get answers, or at least precedent.
I'll be using these as a resource to find things that need to be added or improved in the q&as on Rainbowlist

Communal Creators Full Round: A Multi-Fannish and Original Creative Month
Sep. 6th, 2025 07:13 pmsenmut posting in fandomcalendarHello! I would love to run another round of this challenge, but want to check first whether there's interest, and if you have a preference for timing. Here are the possibilities:
1) November 20, 2025 through January 20, 2026.
2) May 20, 2026 through July 20, 2026.
3) Either!
4) Neither, but I have a different suggestion!
Please leave a comment below with your scheduling preference. There is also a poll on the Tumblr where you can vote if logged in.

Please leave a comment below with your scheduling preference. There is also a poll on the Tumblr where you can vote if logged in.
First and foremost, while Squidge.org hosts the Jinjurly Podfic Archive, we do not control the domain name. The domain name is still maintained by the original owner. Having said that, the Jinjurly archive domain name expired - and all we can do is ask the current domain holder to renew it for us. So we're waiting for that. But, in the event this type of things happened, we preemptively registered the domain name AudioFicArchive.org for us to use. So if you are currently trying to gain access to the Jinjurly Podfic Archive, please use this domain name for the time being:
Secondly, due to an influx of spam lately, I've made some changes to the spamassassin configuration. There should be no negative side effects to this, so people using Squidge.org email should see a reduction in spam. But if you notice anything odd - like you know you're missing email - then please let us know. You can comment here or open a support ticket by clicking here.

Weeks #510-513: "grand" and/or "storm" is now open!
Sep. 6th, 2025 10:25 amsquidgiepdx posting in sga_saturdaySometimes coming up with prompts is hard, yo!
Thinking about it, after watching a few episodes of SGA this past week, I started thinking about The Storm and how Sheppard, McKay, and Weir got along, outsmarting the Genii and taking back Atlantis. So that's where half of this prompt is coming from. It would be nice to see a little missing scene from The Storm, like maybe John taking care of Rodney's arm after The Storm has passed and Atlantis is under SGA's control again. Or maybe Ronon and Amelia are having a little time away from Atlantis and get caught up in a storm, which brings them closer. Or maybe it's something more grand - like a grand gesture that Lorne makes to show someone his affection. Or maybe sneaking a shuttle off of Atlantis while it's in the San Francisco Bay and having a little joyride to the Grand Canyon. Could it be Markham and Stackhouse that steals the 'jumper? Could be - it could be a grand gesture of love - or maybe they use the 'jumper to get to a sex store's grand opening.
Yes, Markham and Stackhouse would totally steal a jumper to go find more sex toys. Those boys, I swear.
Where was I? Oh yea, "grand" and/or "storm" are your prompts. You've got four weeks!
And....GO!

Weeks #505-509: "wait" and/or "survive" is closing!
Sep. 6th, 2025 10:20 amsquidgiepdx posting in sga_saturdayMucho kudos to everyone who took a shot and gave us some amazing works for our last two prompts, "wait" and/or "survive".
brumeier gave us Forged in Fire
esteefee gave us A Suspicious Lump
melagan gave us Heaven and Hell
mific gave us Earth [Podfic] and Sateda Lives While Any Sons Survive [Podfic]
As always, if you're working on something for this prompt, you have until Sunday night, September 7th to get it posted - unless you let me know, and I'll let you sneak it in when it's ready.
A new prompt is coming up next!

Lonely Prompts Sunday, Week 36 [DW Edition]
Sep. 7th, 2025 08:10 am↑↑↑ Available dates:
September 9 & 11
September 16 & 18
[Lonely Prompts Week]
September 30 & October 2
Good morning/afternoon/evening, and welcome to this week's Lonely Prompts adoption day. :3 If this is your first time at
How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this option here.
