Fannish happiness

Last night I dreamed that exchange gifts needed to be picked up in person, and the location was assigned by mods. When the exchange opened, I discovered that the gift stories I'd written had been placed inside a local vacant lot, which can only be accessed by squeezing through a locked gate. I was very worried that my recipients would be unable to get to their gifts.

But luckily, the bar to entry is much lower than that. Here are two exchanges you may want to check out:

Signups/nominations for kingofexchanges , the Stephen King exchange modded by myself, sholio , and scioscribe , close tomorrow night. Come on in!

Eat, Drink, and Make Merry, a food-and-drink centered exchange, is open! The archive is full of stories in many fandoms, and also original works.

I got three wonderful, long, juicy, tasty, and satisfying stories.

Original Works:

On Schedule. An original story for my request for Avant-Garde Food Truck Chef/Traditional Food Truck Chef, an utterly delightful and often hilarious story set in an extremely recognizable Los Angeles, complete with edible receipts, TikTok-obsessed younger brothers, and avant-garde, Instagram-ready rectangular banh mi.

Torchwood:

I got two lovely stories based on the same prompt. I love it when that happens - it's endlessly fascinating to me to see different takes on the same prompt. Both stories are inventive, clever, funny, heartwarming, and full of team love and food descriptions. They're also extremely spoilery for a canon development late-ish in the show, so don't click if you don't want to be spoiled.
