A bit of this and that involving stuff currently going on in Dreamwidth communities, fic exchanges/fests etc. Mostly me promoting and linking to things!

historium has a commentfest! Go there to leave prompts for historical fandoms (I need something I can write for!!!) or pick up prompts and write something.

thisbluespirit also has started posting a semi-regular newsletter to the community, so all the more reason to subscribe/join or at least check it out periodically if you're into fandoms that count as historical (historical fiction, historical fantasy/SF/alt-history, fiction that used to be contemporary but is now historical, such as Jane Austen or a billion other things; or historical RPF).
hurtcomfortex assignments went out a few days ago. I'm happy to not have been unmatchable, in either requests or offers! Given that I had to nominate nearly everything I requested or offered, I wasn't sure how well it'd work out! The freeform tag set for the exchange is enormous, so even if you're not participating, you can check out the freeform tags at the bottom of the tag set page if you want to get loads of prompts for hurt/comfort stories. (Content warning that some of the tags do refer to things that may be upsetting.)
Also, the fest has quite a few pinch hits already - I assume it mostly means requests that couldn't be assigned during the match-up - so if you didn't sign up but feel like you'd like to write some hurt/comfort fic for someone anyway, or if you did sign up but feel you could do more than just one, head over to this post and check out the current pinch hits.
who_guestfest, the Doctor Who minor characters ficathon, has sign-ups open now. I'm trying to decide what to sign up for, and get my brain to form some prompts, but basically I've been super much looking forward to this ever since I started watching Classic Who and suddenly had a ton of guest characters I wanted to know more about. I mean, New Who and spin-offs apply just as well, it's just that somehow I've gotten more interested in the minor characters of Classic Who - most likely because the serial format means there was more time to develop the minor characters.
ETA: Knew I'd forget something! Just your periodical reminder thattardis_library is a lovely Whovian fandoms all-mediums reccing community, with themed challenges to prompt the reccing, but also you can rec pretty much anything you like any time as long as you follow the rules and guidelines of the community. The current monthly theme is Seventh Doctor era or romance, and the newly opened seasonal challenge is creating a manifesto. I'm still trying to decide which theme to claim for myself, but I'm definitely going to sign up once I've decided.
Finally, I also signed up forfluffbingo for the second quarter of 2019! ( Here's my bingo card )
I've felt like writing fluff would do me good, so hopefully this'll be fun! The sign-ups are open in the community now if you want a bingo card of your own.
