Oasis and some other things

- Seen on Bluesky, someone is seeking your old LJ icons for their icon zine.

- My top five songs for August according to Tidal were four live tracks from the Oasis tour and their one "unplugged" release from the upcoming anniversary edition of (What's the Story) Morning Glory? They're all from a playlist I made called "new Oasis," which is an amazing playlist to have in 2025!!

- At some point I want to make a post of some more shippy highlights from the Oasis tour, but I keep not doing it and they keep adding new ones. They just... like each other so much? That is not something I would say about them in any other era, even back when they were at their weirdest about each other. These days they are just uncomplicatedly happy to see each other. It's wild.

- Speaking of the tour, on Friday I fly down to LA to see my second and final show, at the ROSE BOWL. Check that one off the bucket list, I guess!! The logistics of that trip have changed a bunch of times in the past three weeks, but I think I might finally have all the pieces nailed down, as of tonight (then again I thought that yesterday, too...). This trip feels really self-indulgent, like come on, I saw them at Wembley Stadium, surely that's enough for any one person. I am very excited to get to see them from the general admission area this time, though, and excited about the buddy I'm going with.

- I decided to focus on this Oasis WIP instead of signing up for Jump Scare, which was a great decision, because I just crossed the 10k mark on the Oasis WIP, and I've been working on it less than three weeks. Alas, I'm now convinced this 10k I have written is just lots of pieces that don't fit together or add up to anything! I'm going to focus on one scene that I know the shape and let the others rest for a bit, and hopefully I'll find the thread again.

- There are a lot of reasons I really want to finish the WIP, but one is that there is just nothing in the tag right now that I want to read. ;__;

- In November I'll have been more or less active in Oasis fandom for six years, which makes it my longest running active fandom. Hockey is the next closest, and I was in it a little less than five years. I wrote my first MCU fic in 2014, but I wouldn't consider myself active in the fandom until 2018, and then I left in 2021. It feels crazy a) that I've been into Oasis that long and b) that it of all things is my longest fandom, but on the other hand it's been an incredibly newsworthy six years for the fandom.

- I had a nice time with Seasons of Drabbles after defaulting last time. (Yes, on a 100-word exchange. It was a very busy spring.) I mostly requested only actual drabbles this time, rather than the double or triple drabbles or series thereof, and that was really nice. I mainly read actual drabbles, too, and that was also really nice. Somehow 200 words is just a lot harder to read than 100 words!

- On the last day of Fic in a Box signups, I swapped out my Re-Animator request for, wait for it, Heimdall/Loki/Valkyrie. I haven't requested a Thor ship in a full-length exchange in five years, but I wasn't feeling Re-Animator, and the last I checked there were still zero of this ship on AO3. I'm much happier with my slate of requests now.

Seasons of Drabbles!

I both wrote and received Oasis drabbles, and I'm really tickled how neatly they slot together as the before and after of Noel Gallagher:
kidhood by Anonymous, Liam/Noel in the 90s
irreconcilable differences by me, Liam/Noel now

I also got some other goodies, all 100 words. <3

Exchanges and things

- "I am definitely not signing up for [community profile] ficinabox," I said, and then promptly wrote most of a letter. I now have a request I can match to and spent the morning making a list of other requests that I could swap for. I've submitted a swap request, maximum two swaps of 2k each, but there's time to change my mind before swaps close.

- The Kinktober prompts are out. I have managed to write like one kinktober fic ever, plus October is the WORST month for this when I'm also working on FIAB and Yuletide treats and watching all the horror movies, and yet. You know what ship I want all the kinks for, all the time? It's Gallaghercest. I've made a list of all the kinks from this year that I think would be the most fun for them, and I think maybe I will try to post... one a week? That seems like something I could do.

- Speaking of the Gallaghers, I have almost 7k of reunion... vignettes? At this point there are enough of them that maybe it's just a story, lol. I keep pecking away, and words keep happening.
