My cupcakes have a sperm theme

Just look, see, there they are!

 

My sheet cake teems with swimmers

They're leaving mental scars.

 

Oh we see these wrecks here every day

And if you ask me why I'll saaaaayyy...

 

'Cause Wreckerators have a way

 

with piping human DNA.


Thanks to Valerie A., Angel K., Stacey, Suzy W., and Caitlin W. for sowing the seeds of this post.

mific: (Fraser and Ray smiling)
[personal profile] mific posting in [community profile] fancake
Fandom: due South
Characters/Pairings: Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski, Ray Vecchio, Harding Welsh, Renfield Turnbull, Sam Franklin
Rating: Mature
Length: 26,765
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: feroxargentea on AO3
Themes: Uncommon settings, Friendship, First time, Action/adventure, Complete AU, In Space

Summary: Androids are going missing on the giant spaceship Chicago! A Mountie and a space cop team up to investigate why, and to find their friend before it’s too late.

Reccer's Notes:
As I mentioned earlier, there are very few due South fics set in space - and this is an excellent one! The familiar due South characters and settings are translated into space, with their base being on the Spaceship Chicago, and Vecchio in trouble over at spacehub Vegas. There's action, adventure, banter, romance, plot and drama as Fraser and Ray work to solve the case and rescue Vecchio. A cracking read!

Why this piece is awesome: An intricate watercolour with delicate colours and lots of great detail - I love worldbuilding and this recreates Gondor's old capital, which was in ruins by LotR times. I love the contrast between this beautiful, spacious city on the river Anduin, compared to Minas Tirith which was very much a fortress (as it needed to be).

As usual, my brain fog and time confusion have worked against me! How is it the middle of October?

First off, I just wanted to give a shout out to [personal profile] hhimring for being the only one to finish a July prompt. Great job!

Secondly, I'm sorry I dropped the ball on the sign up for the coming year.

I'll be announcing the poet for 2026 in a few, so stay tuned!

Some questions are easy to answer.

"Cake, or DEATH?"

"Uh...cake, please."

Others can be a little more tricky:

"Trick, or TROAT?"

"And this is for 'Hallowen,' so, be honest."

 

Here's a moving Halloween vignette:

Judging by the pile behind it, I guess we have to assume that's "Poop in Peace."

(Which, come to think of it, is probably what every parent of a two to six-year-old dreams of doing.)

 

Jack O' Lanterns:

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.

 

Sperm Bullies:

YOU PRETTY MUCH NAILED IT.

 

I can't decide if these two are hanging garland or just have massive orthodontist bills:

Boo? Boo?! YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

 

Thank you.

Thanks to Porter N., Rane L., Katya H., Lisa S., Laura W., & Destiny G., who think that last one is pretty yracs.

P.S. You know how everyone is decorating with these cute wall bats for spooky season?

Well I found them on Amazon! They're re-usable PVC - so weatherproof - and cost less than $10 for a pack of 56. While you're there I highly recommend scrolling the customer image gallery, too, for cute decorating ideas like this.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, bakers, which means it's time to slap pink icing ribbons on everything, including last month's leftover cookies:

Pro Tip: When licking icing off your display cookies, try to be more thorough. Otherwise people might start asking questions.

 

It also means that every October birthday is no longer just a birthday:

It's a "Flappy Beiast Awaranistsy" Birthday!

 

Plus, what better time is there to break out the ol' "Ring o' Stomachs" icing border?

NO TIME, that's when.

 

Of course, since even the simple ribbon loop is beyond many bakers' skill set, you might want to cheat a bit by using candy molds:

Pro Tip: these also work great for bachelorette parties.

 

Or maybe stick to a single ribbon and just one misspelled word:

G, I admire your restraint.

 

Or how about a simple, inspiring inscription? You know, something about hope, and strength, and working towards a cure?

Or a confusingly depressing sentiment that makes less and less sense the more you think about it?

Because when I remember a painful loss, the first thing I want to do - I mean, AFTER celebrating the fact that I just remembered my painful loss - is eat a giant cookie cake.

[sigh]

Tell you what, bakers, maybe we should just go back to the ribbons.

Perfect.

 

Thanks to Sarah A., Gia E., Crystal A., Jen P., Anony M., Michelle T., & Leslie P. for keeping us abreast of the situation. TTFN, ladies!

P.S. Want to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness in the spirit of the spooky season? Then allow me to present the greatest October t-shirt of all time:

"Boo Bees" T-Shirt

More colors and cuts at the link, though sadly it does NOT come in pink. BOO.

Hello!! How is writing today?

Today's discussion question is heavily based after what has been going on in my life: what is the shiny thing keeping you from writing?

This is it! We're close to proving bakery hauntings, I can feel it!

Scoff all you like, but I was present at an undersea, unexplained mass sponge migration.

Not to mention they were wearing PANTS.

 

Look! Actual ectoplasmic residue! This is great!

"He slimed me."

Oh buck up, Frosty, you'll be fine.

 

Talk about telekinetic activity - look at this mess!

It's like the Salem mass Silly String turbulence of 1947. DEFINITELY supernatural origin.

 

You know, I collect spores, mold, and fungus...

...but that is just NASTY.

 

Listen! You smell something?

"There is no 'wee wee,' only stool."

 

Hm. You'd better get a sample.

 

What, you question my methods?

Back off, man; I'm a SCIENTIST.

That's better.

Oh, and whatever you do, don't cross the streams. That would be bad.

 

I can see you're still not convinced on this bakery ghost thing.

 

Then answer me this: would any human being stack cakes this way?

I rest my case.

 

Thanks to Anna S., Matthew Z., Alyssa P., Dylan W., Lindsey D., Cynthia C., & Anna A., who are pretty sure that sample cup means "you're in trouble."

Hello all! Happy Monday!

How did writing go today? Was it easy? Was it messy? Was it like pulling teeth?

Fandom:
Marvel Cinematic UniverseCaptain America (Movies)Marvel (Comics)
Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson
Rating: Gen
Length: 4,117
Creator Links: HSavinien on AO3
Theme: Medieval Jousting, warrior recognizing warrior

Summary: Sir Samuel meets another knight lately returned from war shortly before the Midsummer tournament.

Reccer's Notes: One of the things I love about historical fiction is getting the voice of the time right. One of the things I love about fanfiction is getting the voices of the characters right. This marvelous story does both and so much more.
