Over at the Fraise Lounge, you are utterly covered in dirt, but you watch in excited satisfaction as the pterodactyl fairies place each of your uncovered machine components on the blueprint. Now Professor Zzt can assemble the machine, and you’ll finally be able to go home. This has been such a progression from seafaring.

Professor Zzt, however, is nowhere near the blueprint. Instead you find him at the edge of the garden, chatting to a little spark in his tiny hands with a concerned, then newly intrigued expression on his face. He flutters over to the blueprint and starts to prod at the components, taking some notes in sparkling, floating writing. A couple of you sneak closer, hoping to overhear something, and as you start to pick out increasingly loud cheering…

Wait a second, those voices aren’t just coming from the spark. Neither are those footsteps. You turn towards the cafe just as a giant dragon swoops through the garden’s gate. “You found it! You really found it!” he’s shouting. And trailing behind him are some of your companions! You even spot another X-ray machine among the crowd. It’s.. wearing a wiggling pear? Your own X-ray machine (and Barry Turtleberry on top) rolls up to reunite with its counterpart.

There were indeed two machines in the cafe garden! Professors Fuzang and Zzt contact their other colleagues in the area (how does a giant dragon use a tiny spark-communicator, you wonder?), and soon the garden is filled with archaeology professors, the rest of your separated companions, and even café managers, who are apparently also interested (and willing to let their quest-assigned adventurers leave their duties).

Everyone watches, enraptured, as the professors and (mostly) pterodactyl fairies assemble one of them into a giant mechanical brachiosaurus. At first, nothing happens, but then the pterodactyl fairies breathe their fairy dust into vents along its long neck. The brachiosaurus glows for a moment, and then a giant cloud of steam huffs out its nostrils.

“Hmm… Just five more centuries, please…” the mechanical dinosaur grumbles and rolls over.

One of the machines has been rebuilt! You still have another one to go, but the professors are busy debating the implications of their findings, and the pterodactyl fairies are occupied with helping energize the groggy brachiosaurus and helping him take his first few steps in however many eras.

And on the other hand… You look around at everyone’s dirt-covered clothes, and the giant mounds of dirt in the increasingly crowded garden.

“...Why don’t we head back to the Shoulder Dragon Cafe?” you suggest.


TEAM STRAWBERRY COMES IN SECOND PLACE!

Members of Team Pear and Team Strawberry will get one tag claim each for next year’s board, and pears will feature in next year’s lore! Teams Grape and Lemon, in joint third place, can also earn a tag claim by posting two treats by the end of the two week anon period. There may be an additional opportunity to earn tag claims through treats – stay tuned!

But, hmm… Something is happening with Team Lemon…


As you’re heading over to the Shoulder Dragon Cafe, you hear frantic beeping and whirring somewhere below you – looks like your X-ray machine has recovered from its rest! On top of it is a giant red button that says “PRESS ME!” Obviously, you do.

The world around you freezes. Your companions in the distance are stuck mid-pose, Professor Fuzang is suspended in the air, even the wobbly metallic brachiosaurus wobbles no more.

“If you’re hearing this, one of us has awakened, but the other is still buried deep underground,” speaks a message emitting from the X-ray machine. “If it wouldn’t be a bother, could you excavate both of us? Ah, and please forgive the time bubble – I’m sure you have plenty of your own responsibilities, and we wouldn’t want to keep you from them with our demands. This will give you all the time you need.”


Team Lemon now has access to the Team Lemon Continuation Collection! Treats from Team Lemon optionally posted to this collection in addition to their usual team collection will remain hidden beyond the main reveals time, until either Team Lemon completes Board 3 or the work is removed from the Continuation Collection by the creator.


All treats may continue to claim tags and boss points as usual, in accordance with any post-game arrangements with their team. If your team has yet to complete all Bosses and Boards, you have the optional challenge of completing them.

This officially concludes the main Battleship 2025 game! You have 48 hours from the end of the game to edit your works, which will be revealed on July 30, 2025 11:00 AM Eastern Time. Please remove placeholders and otherwise make sure your works are ready to go live!

Due to an AO3 bug, works posted shortly before collection reveals may get caught in an unrevealed state. To prevent this, the team and main collections will be temporarily closing at 11:00 AM EDT on July 29th, 24 hours before reveals.

Nominations Guidelines - Summer 2025

Jul. 28th, 2025 12:20 pm
littlefics: Three miniature books standing on an open normal-sized book. (Default)
[personal profile] littlefics posting in [community profile] seasonsofdrabbles
Nominations are now open for the summer 2025 round of Seasons of Drabbles!  Nominations will remain open until signups close on Monday, August 11. Note we are reusing the tagset from last round, so please check if what you're nominating is already in the tagset before submitting them. (That is, if AO3 is not down, which it is as of this post.)

Important Reminders
  • We will not approve broad writer's-choice character nominations (e.g., "Creator's Choice of Demon" or "Any Star Trek Captain"). This is because it requires the mods to have fandom-specific knowledge when checking that gifts are for a requested character during approvals. Instead, please nominate specific characters.

    For example, we would not approve "Creator's Choice of Jedi" under Star Wars because it'd require the mods to know/find out which individual characters in a gift are Jedi or not. Instead, we'd ask you to nominate specific Jedi characters. The only fandoms where such broad nominations are permitted are the "Creator's Choice" fandoms (e.g., "Female Character"), since by their nature, character nominations cannot be specific.

  • All character nominations should be disambiguated, for example: Steve Rogers (Captain America (Movies)). Not doing this slows the approval process significantly, so please disambiguate! Characters may be nominated in any/every fandom in which they appear.


General Guidelines
  • You may nominate up to 10 fandoms with up to 10 characters each.

  • With some exceptions, both umbrella fandoms and sub-fandoms are allowed. For instance, you may nominate under Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars - All Media Types. You may also nominate under sub-fandoms such as Thor (Movies) or Star Wars Original Trilogy.

    Please remember that if you request Any for an umbrella fandom, you will be requesting any character who appears in any of the fandoms below the umbrella - NOT just characters in the tagset. So if you plan to request Any, you may want to request under a specific sub-fandom rather than the umbrella.

  • RPF is allowed. Nominated RPF characters must be famous in their own right, and must be 18+ for modern RPF.

  • Crossovers are allowed. Crossover fandoms should be nominated as Fandom A/Fandom B. Character nominations for crossovers should be nominated as Character's Name (Fandom A/Fandom B). For example, if nominating Luke Skywalker for a Narnia/Star Wars crossover, the fandom would be nominated as Chronicles of Narnia/Star Wars, while the character would be nominated as Luke Skywalker (Narnia/Star Wars).

  • Recursive fandoms are allowed. The required format is Recursive: Fic/Series title - Creator. Recursive fandoms may be nominated under two circumstances: 1. the creator has posted a blanket permission statement, 2. you are the creator. In either case, please contact us when nominating so that we have the pertinent permissions. Characters nominated under recursive fandoms should be disambiguated with the title of the recursive fandom.

  • Since we will be re-using the tagset all year, recursive fandoms will be removed on an as-needed basis between rounds (only if a blanket permission statement comes down, or the creator asks for it to be removed).

  • Original Works are allowed. When nominating characters, please disambiguate with (Original Work). If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination. An example nomination: Original Nonbinary Character (Original Work)

  • Original characters may also be nominated in existing fandoms. When nominating an original character within an existing fandom, please disambiguate with the name of the fandom. If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination. An example nomination: Original Anbu Character (Naruto)

  • Objects/concepts/etc. may be nominated in the character slot for any canon in which they appear. For Original Works, you can make some up if you would like. Some example nominations: Cursed Hat (What We Do in the Shadows (TV)), Magic Mirror (Original Work)

Why this piece is awesome: A gorgeous portrait of Drummer! Aside from the great likeness, I'm fascinated by the contrast between Drummer's signature black and the wide range of pastel colours the artist used for her face, in a way that still makes it come together as a coherent and perfectly natural whole. Really great.

Hi everyone, how's your week going so far? I have just finished my Monday's work and am settling down in my cuddly, warm spot on the couch with a cup of coffee to chill until it's time to cook dinner. I am finally feeling a little relaxed after a very stressful couple of weeks dealing with my 89 year old Mum having some health and home issues. The issues haven't gone away, but I have finaly managed not to be feeling panicked every day! My husband and I are going off on an overseas trip for 10 days next week, and there was a lot of uncertainty regarding her care while we're away, but it looks like the hospital have that in hand, so that has helped calm me down!

Anyway, enough of my family issues! How is your creativity shaping up? What do you have planned for this week? I don't expect I'll be doing much other than ensuring my mum has what she needs and we are prepared for our travels, but I might squeeze in a bit more knitting and crocheting anyway!

Big Buddies, you should be at somewhere around the 90% mark of your goal for the month. How are you doing with it?

Our current challenge is Bingo! How are you enjoying it so far? I hope you're joining in! Bingo is one of the comm's favourites, and Diva's a great host!

Your flash challenge for today is: Flying away! Do with it what you will! Post something you created from the prompt and link it back here so we can congratulate you on adding words to the count!

Lets see, what else? Don't forget to scroll back for the last week's round of prompts, or check the tags for your favourites!

Oh, and I do need volunteers for the 2nd half of the year's Weekend Challenge posts, so let me know in comments if you want to sign up again, or if you're new and would like to give it a go! Just tell me any weekends you won't be available (please use "month" in words, & "date" in numerals format for your comment, as I'm a Kiwi and we say 28/7/25 for today's date, and 1/8/25 for this Friday, so I want to be sure I understand correctly!), and how many weekends you will be able take on ( it's spread over 6 months, so depending on our volunteer numbers, usually no more than 3 or 4, max). I will do the new schedule once I'm back from my holiday.

Hopefully, I haven't missed anything! Now, let's be creative out there! ;-)

[personal profile] battleshipmod posting in [community profile] battleshipex
The professor is enchanted by the odd collection of artifacts you’ve found, and you’re feeling flushed with satisfaction. Still holding the coins you found (just in case), you step back into the cafe, only for your footsteps to squelch into – mud. “The fog took down the golems!” Mr. Snikkit cries, wheeling a lemon-yellow mop bucket out from the back. “No worries though, the new hire gets here in just a second, you’ll be good to train them, right?”

New – hire? You look out front just in time to see an enormous yellow octopus sucker across the front yard and up the front window. The dragon breathes magic at it, seemingly annoyed.

“Go!” Mr. Snikkit calls, feverishly wringing out the mop. “Keep the octopus happy, you can show them the ropes later!”

You head out front, jumping over octopus arms as they grab patio furniture and throw it. The octopus and dragon seem to be in a slap fight, and you try to stand in the way. “Okay,” you try, pushing on the octopus’s squishy flesh. “No fighting?”

In response, the octopus slaps at you with a tentacle and the dragon breathes magic at you, but you dodge the tentacle and the magic washes over the dirt you’re still holding. Instead of golems this time, the dirt transmutes into little ceramic objects you can hear saying things. They’re the perfect size to fit into an ear, and when you pick them up you can hear voices? The dragon’s magic has made magic translators this time, and you can hear what the dragon and the octopus are saying.

“Just add another prompt to the collection, oh my god,” the dragon says with a huff. “Have you considered requesting more prompts?”

“I already have fourteen prompts!” the octopus says, thrashing in agitation. “I included five CCoF requests and nobody has even looked at them! Do you think I need to nominate some new tags? I could do Original Work, but no one is looking at my requests! I have nothing to read, and nothing to look at or listen to!”

It looks like to keep the octopus happy you’ll need to – make some gifts? A quick glance at what the octopus is talking about shows requests for art, and fic, and podfic, all waiting to be fulfilled. And you can absolutely do that. As the dragon breathes more magic under the roiling hotpot and the octopus bashes pieces of machinery together, you wave a hand to flag down the octopus. “Hello!” you call. “Can you tell me more about what you want for art or fic? And you mentioned you like podfic, too?”

Posted by simplyn2deep

Dislimn (verb)
dislimn [dis-lim]


verb (used with object), Archaic.
1. to cause to become dim or indistinct.

Origin: First recorded in 1600–10; dis- + limn

Example Sentences
Into fingers and tresses the running waters dislimn, and then, that great obstacle passed, their hundred rillets run together again and go on their way with music.
From Project Gutenberg

But in the darkness dim Those lineaments did waver and dislimn Like clouds at the sun's waking.
From Project Gutenberg

But at last the visible world, the wall before him, commenced to dislimn; it shifted; it became mist, writhing and tinged with faint colors, that submerged his will and his consciousness, till they sank, gathering impetus, into a void below—the vacancy of the spirit that looses its hold on the body and is rudderless.
From Project Gutenberg

Features of this latter sort "dislimn" and yield, as the writing on palimpsests, to the regal majesty of the divine countenance, which none can look upon and smile.
From Project Gutenberg

The plump man's features seemed to dislimn, and form again, as I looked at them.
From Project Gutenberg

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.

Team Pear WINS FIRST PLACE!

Jul. 27th, 2025 07:04 pm
[personal profile] battleshipmod posting in [community profile] battleshipex

“And there!” Fuzang says as the pterodactyl fairies place the final machine component on the blueprint’s outline. “I can write so many papers on this!” It is, for the moment, an inert item – not to mention, more a vaguely shaped set of pieces than an assembled machine – but this does not reduce your joy one bit: you dug it all up!

Pearry the X-ray machine bleeps happily, satiated by the glorious dirt left behind by the Dirt Empire. Now that its mission is complete, it’s certainly earned the time to rest and recharge.

“What do you think this thing is for?” one of you asks Fuzang as he starts to assemble the components, flicking over hinges and pulling around wires and screwing pieces together.

“Well, I think we can safely discard ‘ritual purposes,’ given how intricate yet non-decorative it is,” he explains. Then, as he is turning two pieces over, examining where they should join, he pauses. “Interesting. From the look of their materials, I suspect these components are for two machines, and not only one like we’ve theorized. Fascinating!”

You all take a well-deserved rest while Fuzang splits the components into two sets and attempts to build two machines… but all in vain, as no combination seems to work.

You hear Pearry still rolling about – busy enjoying its role as Heir of Dirt, you suppose – and beyond that, the shouts of your separated companions (and whirring of their X-ray machines) at their respective cafes. You're pretty sure that you've dug up all the relics and components present here at the Pear Wiggler, but maybe your friends have also found something? You do have a tendency to end up doing the exact same things, no matter how far you start from each other.

When you bring this up to Fuzang, he perks up. “I did hear some of my colleagues from other universities are also trying to get dig permits in this region. Hmm, the Congress on Early Ancient Civilizations is coming up in a month or so. I'll ask at the end of my plenary talk!” He wiggles with excitement, pear hat wobbling in counterpoint. “Oh, thank you, this is going to let us understand the material conditions of the Dirt Empire so much better! This is amazing! It's the best day of my life!”

The café has closed, the Manager has gone home and won't disturb you, and the octopus is nowhere to be seen. Given past experience, your friends should come through soon enough – at least, much faster than Fuzang's scientific conference – so you won't be here that long. As you wait, some of you help a very excited Fuzang document the day’s excavation process, while others sit down and tell stories (the taco plant features prominently).

From what you can tell, Fuzang split the pile of component parts in half. Perhaps some of your companions will find the other half of both structures…


TEAM PEAR WINS FIRST PLACE!

But the game isn’t over yet! One more team needs to dig up all their machine components to finish rebuilding the machines buried beneath the café gardens.

All work caps are lifted! Once a second team digs up all their machine components, the game will end, and then there will be a 48-hour editing period before works are revealed. Please remove placeholders and otherwise make sure your works are ready to go live!

Teams in joint third place will be able to continue playing, even after the collections reveal – stay tuned for further details.
