According to this CBC story, "Canadian Tire acquired HBC's intellectual property, including the striped blanket design, earlier this year..."

( more details )

I wonder if they would ship to the US... Though I've heard that the newer Hudson's Bay blankets aren't as good as the old ones, I don't know that for a fact... would like the opportunity to find out, though.

This is my FWF 2025 Shocktober banner for Most Coherent submission!

[Image]

ETA: For some reason (not from a public post/art? I'm not sure), I can't get this banner to show up as an embedded image.

But you can see my banner, along with all the other winning banners over here in this FWF Shocktober wrapup post. (I think you can see them even if you're not a member of the community... Hopefully!)

A/N: Just posting these here as encouragement to actually finish what had started out as a five times fic and has now mutated into something larger

Fandom: Republic of Doyle
Pairing: Jake Doyle/Kevin Crocker
Warnings: Nothing really

( Five times someone called Jake 'baby' )

Current Mood: blah

The mod of FWF revealed results of the vote on the most recent FWF, Shocktober 2025... And I'm delighted to report ride_4ever won "Best Use Of Prompt" - again!

I was also surprised (and pleased) to learn that my420 fic for this most recent FWF was voted Most Coherent - go figure. It's only got about a zillion egregious typos plus my eyes were falling shut as I wrote the last one-half to one-third of it (in my defense, and in strict adherence with FWF guidelines and requirements, I was very high). Yay for us both!

Go check out all ten wonderful works of inebriated creativity for FWF 2025 Shocktober, including a wonderfully creepy fanart and a fancomic!

I've been messing about in the garden, repotting and planting various things, and weeding what beds I have. We're in the midst of spring now so there are more flowers out, and my kōwhai tree is in full bloom. The weather's been living up to the Auckland tradition of "four seasons in one day", and there's been enough rain that I haven't had to do much watering, just in the rain shadow under the eaves. I'm enjoying getting back into gardening now it's warm enough, and the exercise is good. Here are some pics - the stars are the clivias I rescued from my old house before I moved. They're in two big containers and after two years here, are now happily rootbound and flowering. Cabbage species are also putting on a show.

For October, Regina Keim shared a new due South word search on both the Facebook dS and F/K communities. Enjoy!

squidgiepdx pointed out on his community action blog, our crazed idiot Secretary of War (his words) just announced that they're going to build a Qatari Air Force base IN IDAHO.

As Squidgie said: stop what you're doing and call/write your representatives and senators right now.

And spread the word.

Joanne Currie posted a ruggedly hot, recent, silver fox pic of CKR in the Facebook Due South Duet: Fraser/Kowalski Slash group. But that FB goup is private, so that link to the original post may not work for you - so I took a screenshot of it (with attribution) so everyone on DW can enjoy it!

I believe (but can't confirm!) that this is from his Instagram account. I'm just not sure whether it's his own Motor Lodge Studio IG, or the Callum Keith Rennie Official IG.

Dear Seekrit Santa,

There's a reason I'm called the 'dark' Canuck; I won't be stipulating any archive warnings/ratings to you for my request. I'm bent knee deep in freezerland and as a fellow member of the Due South community, I'm trusting in you to use your artistic freedom and creative judgment as you see fit to ‘keep me warm’ during this Seekrit Santa season.

I'm here for unusual pairings, although F/K is my OTP. Bring out your smut, give me your kink - if that's what you're feeling. Feel free to whump those characters real good. I love me some angst to hope. I'm also love a good gen story with a fascinating take.

LIKES:
-Slice of life
-Character studies
-Hurt/Comfort, Angst/Hope
-In the kink! vein: heavier BDSM, bondage, voyeurism, praise!kink, competence!kink
-Unusual pairings, unexplored perspectives, off the beaten path
-I'm cool with AU, as long as it's not wildly niche

DNW:

-Crack (Humour/sarcasm/pastiche is amazing! But not looking for full on crack)

-Unrequested crossovers
-Pure fluff

-Non canonical Kid!fic

-Turning / into & (although I'm all chin hands for interesting takes on asexual pairings)

-Wildly unjustifiable OOC behaviour

-Literal unrequited feelings, literal infidelity/cheating (open relationships/poly is a-okay), or permanent break up of our guys; F/K, F/V, F/K/V

-Unhappy or hopeless endings

Honestly, it's my first time being a part of the challenge and I'm just super excited to read whatever you choose to make for me, thank you so, so much! <3
