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

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!)

FireWhiskeyFic 2025 Shocktober winners (Fannish Fifty #48)
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!

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.

Things I like: Competence, snark, partners/buddies/teamwork, plot, drama, and adventures, humor, traditional fandom tropes given a new breath of life or subverted/inverted. I love worldbuilding, be it an alien world, or fantasy, or the past or far future.
I'm happy with any rating, will enjoy any kink if it's done well, and like gen just as much as explicit. In fics, I prefer high-rated aspects to serve the story and not just be PWP or gratuitous, and am just as happy with slow-burn and UST, or a romantic outcome rather than a sex scene. Kissing is always good but in fic, please no mouths clashing together - it makes me wince and worry about chipped teeth!
Things I don't like: (none of these are triggers, as I don't really have any, but I'd prefer not to get them). Extreme angst or whump, or hurt-comfort with very little comfort at the end, partner betrayal, animal harm, major character death and sad or tragic endings. Some angst and tension is fine, but I'd rather it didn't overwhelm the work and would prefer a hopeful ending.
What I mentioned in my sign-up: My main OTP is Fraser/Kowalski, but I'm just as happy for gen friendship between Fraser and either or both Rays, polyamory with both Rays, or the Rays getting together. I'm also very fond of Diefenbaker.
Seriously, whatever takes your fancy will be great - just have fun and I'll appreciate whatever you make. :)
