Fic or Treat!

DW username: embraidery

Light is on for: friends, DW followers, anyone who came here from ficortreat!

What's in the Bowl? Ficlets, logic puzzles (by Raymond Smullyan, not me), book recs, podficlets, doodles, blackout poetry

Let Me Know: 

Ficlets - check out my profile on AO3 or my autoao3app for fandoms I've created for or requested before! I'll be honest, I have a lot of rare fandoms, but it's a fun grab bag. I won't create for Harry Potter anymore, but almost anything else is fair game. Let me know characters/ships you're into, maybe a prompt, DNWs? Let me know your AO3 handle if you'd like it gifted.

Logic puzzles - these would be from one of my books of logic puzzles, mostly dealing with figuring out which statements are true and which are false (i.e. one person always lies and the other always tells the truth). 

Book recs - let me know genres! I have a variety of YA, sci-fi, fantasy, a little bit of horror, a little bit of poetry, quite a bit of PG Wodehouse. I also have some short stories to recommend!

Podficlets - drop a few options of fics under 2.5k and I'll see what I can do. Doesn't have to be in a fandom I know. No non-con or omegaverse and no Harry Potter, please! (And, of course, the author must be okay with the work being podficced.) Let me know your AO3 handle if you'd like it gifted.

Doodles - I can draw characters I know or characters I don't if you can link me a visual reference. Or geometric art and/or optical illusion art!

Blackout poetry - send me a page of a fic you wrote or a book/poem in the public domain and I'll black it out and make poetry!

Other info: Drop me a fun fact about something in the world or the weirdest thing you've ever eaten or some other bit of information! Happy Halloween!

Oooh there's podfic in the bowl? *grabby hands* Thank you so much for this offer!

Here are some fics I'd love to hear podficced, if any of them take your fancy:

Plucked & Pressed (The Terror), 3-sentence fic collection, T, 1.8k

Helping Hand (Pokemon), gen, 300 words

Warming Up (Star Wars), gen, 300 words

Weirdest thing I've eaten is probably kangaroo. Though maybe that's not weird, I don't know XD It was at a restaurant that serves food in pitch black, so you don't know what you're eating and find out afterwards. It was surprisingly tender!

Happy Halloween 🎃🐈‍⬛

Fic or Treat!

I saw on your AO3 profile that you've written Elliott/Willy from Stardew Valley! I'd love a little ficlet about them. For a prompt, maybe a fishing trip? Maybe Elliott agrees to go but then realizes he can't handle being on a boat for hours very well, or maybe on the contrary he ends up having a way better time than he thought. Maybe Willy shows him how to hold his fishing rod and they get distracted by the proximity... Up to you! (I welcome any references to the infamous trickiness of Stardew Valley's fishing minigame lol.) If you'd like to gift it to me, I'm Samifer on AO3.

I'm not sure what the weirdest thing I've eaten is... I actually really like horse meat, which I know is controversial. I guess one weird thing about me and food is that I don't like seafood at all but I had a period where I was obsessed with the fish soup at one specific restaurant, to the point that it was The thing I wanted to eat for my birthday one year. It was really good fish soup... Now I wish I could have it again...

Thank you so much, and happy Halloween!

Fic or treat! :)

I would love a lil doodle of my blorbos ( https://iiwiki.werp.site/agents:dr._xu and https://iiwiki.werp.site/agents:prism ). I would also love recs for sci fi that include speculative biology or xenobiology, especially by non-USAmerican authors!)

Weirdest thing I've ever eaten: Colombian giant fat-bottomed fried ants. They were heavily salted and mostly just tasted of salt, but the texture was very similar to when you're eating peanuts from the shell and get a bit of that thin internal papery peanut skin stuck to your tongue.

Happy Halloween!

/kicks down door!!!!

/opens gigantic bag!!!!

Please pick whatever strikes your fancy -

Ficlets -
Do I dare ask you for Challengers? Art/Tashi, Art/Tashi/Patrick. Memory, stolen moment, unhappily ever after, skilled in more than just hitting a ball with a racket.

Or! Inej! Give me feathers, cages, freedom, on the sea.

Book recs -
Give me some short story recs, please! Any genre. I don't really read short stories so I'd love to actually change that and be able to blame you ♥.

Blackout poetry -
I'm curious about what this looks like! What if I throw you a (raunchy) Battleship gift I wrote you this year? (Feel free to pick one of your SoC stories if you'd prefer that!)

I don't remember anything weird I've eaten, but I can tell you I dislike jelly because of the texture. People apparently find this weird!

[wintersday]

Fic or Treat!

I’d like to request either:

1) book recs for speculative fiction (Fantasy, SFF, horror) with prose you consider beautiful or striking

2) A drabble for Piranesi; prompts: rain, far shores, welcome home

Weirdest thing I’ve eaten: zucchini and carrot pizza

Hello from the Fic or Treat neighbourhood!

Gosh, you have so many fun things on offer in your bowl!! Please feel free to choose between these options, however you're inspired:
-- Doodle of Eloise Bridgerton or Benedict Bridgerton
-- Geometric art would also be really cool! Prompt (if it's helpful??): turquoise
-- Ficlet: either Edgin/Xenk or Edgin & Holga from Dungeons & Dragons: HAT, possible prompts: midnight confession, sharing a bed, a bard/singing competition (DNWs: permanent character death, infidelity, noncon)
-- Logic puzzles: I love doing Murdle-style puzzles and other kinds of logic and word puzzles, and always curious to try more!

My AO3 is scintilla10 if you want to gift there.

Thank you for your bounty of tasty offerings! :D Happy spooky season! ♥

Trick or treat, neighbour! :)

I'd love a doodle of Lucien Lacroix Ref1, Ref2, Ref3 from Forever Knight.

I think the weirdest thing I ate was a slice of bread with nutella and crumbled up paprika crisps. (Yes, case of the munchies XD )

Have a great spooky season! 🦇

[seerofrage]

Fic or treat! :D

If you're so inclined, I'd love an OPLA ficlet! I'm particularly fond of Luffy + Shanks, Zoro + Mihawk, and Sanji + Zeff; as platonic, shippy, one-sidedly shippy, something ambiguous, or some other amalgam of feelings going on. I just really love how intense all these relationships are, and anything dealing with or poking at the intense feelings going on would be delightful! Buggy getting under Luffy's skin about Shanks, Luffy's everything concerning Shanks, the scar Mihawk left on Zoro, Zoro's determination to best him, all the history and bickering between Sanji and Zeff and their farewells, Zeff getting hurt and Sanji leaping up to defend him; it's all so good! :D

Additional prompt: vampires! Mihawk lends himself particularly well to the idea, but I'd love to see vampirism thrown into the mix with any of those pairs. :D

I'd prefer things didn't go into smut territory, but otherwise I'm cool with whatever. <3

I'm not really sure what the weirdest thing I've eaten is! I've had a gummy shaped like a finger, which was kinda odd, haha. I was offered dried crickets once, though I didn't end up taking them. :'D

*ding-dong*

Hello neighbour, blackout poetry is something I'm not familiar at all so I'm very curious now.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/44806885 here's a fic I've written, you can any of the fics from me if you don't want this one. Thank you. I'm looking forward to this.

[flowersforgraves]

fic or treat! I'd love a logic puzzle and/or geometric doodle :D

I ate a pinecone once...

[luvbarryfefe]

Hi there! What cool stuff you have to offer. I would love blackout poetry. How creative! Hopefully, this story will work. It was one of my rare attempts at humor. https://archiveofourown.org/works/58565506

Now here are some Halloween-related fun facts:

- The pumpkin capital of the US is Illinois.
- 4/10 people believe in ghosts according to a 2019 YouGov poll.
- The movie "The Conjuring" is based on real-life events.
- Halloween falls on a full moon every 19 years

The weirdest thing I've ever eaten... rabbit. I was told that it was chicken. I was not amused.

Thank you!!

Knock Knock.

I spy 10 Things I Hate About You. Might there be a treat with any of the characters?

[pendulumscale]

fic or treat!! a fun fact about me is that I've eaten a (dead) scorpion before 🦂

could i have a black out poem using a page from chapter one of this fic im working on? https://archiveofourown.org/works/45957901/chapters/115677121

[kalloway]

Fic or Treat! I would love books or story recs. I like fantasy and sci-fi and would prefer books under about 300 pages (some real life stuff has destroyed my ability to focus on doorstoppers), no preference on if there's a romance sub-plot or not.

Weirdest thing I've ever eaten was probably a dog biscuit on a dare. IIRC it wasn't terrible.

[reeby10]

Fic or treat! May I have some blackout poetry from Moby Dick by Herman Melville, particularly something of chapter 10 if that inspires?

The weirdest thing I think I've eaten is alligator (tacos? maybe?) while in Florida.

[vowrawn]

Hi! Could I request a page of blackout poetry using a random page/page of your choice from Dracula, please?

Thank you & Happy Halloween! :)
