Hello sailors

[thisbluespirit]

Time for another chat post!

It's been over six months now since 100ships launched, and we collectively have created 211 works in 116 fandoms in the Ao3 Collection (and I know there have been one or two people not posting there, too). *\o/*

As we have very few repeat-ships tagged on AO3, it seems likely that's also pretty nearly 211 or more distinct ships, which is amazing! If my maths is up to it (and it often isn't), we've covered 78 of the prompts - the most popular being #1 Adamant with 9 uses. In short: multi-shippers, as you were, carry on; you're fabulous. ♥

Anyway, how is it going? This is a social post for people who want it to chat to each other in the comments, so have at it.

Anyone running out of steam and needing a bit of cheering on/poking? Stuck for your next ship? What to do for that one awkward prompt? Want to try different media?

Or if you'd like to celebrate your achievements you can share here if you've written a ship you've always wanted to, or created the tag on AO3 (go, you, and your pool noodle!), or created in a new-to-you media, format or style, tell us about it.

I'm still very happy that 100ships finally gave me the excuse/push to write a little Eleven/Clara fic, as I've had the itch to do it for ages!

I've nearly forgotten about this comm. But it's awesome seeing new works for it. :)

So far I'm enjoying this and I've been trying to share it with others that I know. Gonna see how far I can get. Right now I'm a bit busy because of work and other projects so I might slow down on updates for a while. Also making it a bit of a challenge to fill prompts that haven't been filled yet because I like filling out the prompt list. It's satisfying.

created the tag on AO3 (go, you, and your pool noodle!)

Story of my fandom life in general. XD Just gotta keep weaving those pool noodles together to make a raft.

I needed a rest period in January so I've been mostly quiet with only my Sand prompt posted early Jan as I started it mid to late December. And I've used half/most of February to dedicate time to Femslash February (of which I am very much behind but do intend to keep doing) but I feel like I'm picking up speed for this challenge again as I posted Desert to Ao3 last week sometime I think?? And I just finished a prompt fill for Red, I'll post it to Ao3 this afternoon and I'll post a bundle of my last five prompt fills to this journal sometime today as well. Aside from work, the only thing stopping me from posting Red now is the fact its still untitled.

I've also got a prompt fill for Pickle started (I actually started it before I started Red but whoops, I was just on a roll with Red). But yeah!! Pickle was another of those prompts I was like. What do I do with you? I was very tempted to scrap it and do a choice of my own but I suck as hard as filling my own prompts so trying not to. But then my mind went "pickle -> fast food -> burgers -> hotdogs -> hotdogshipping my beloved!!!" Hotdogshipping being the name for Yusaku/Shoichi from Yugioh Vrains. After Pickle... Well, not too sure, I have plenty of ideas jotted down for plenty of prompts but its weirdly unappetizing. We'll see! Anyway I'm 45-46 fills and continuously blow myself away remembering that.

Its interesting to see that as a body of work, not all 100 prompts have been done yet and that Adamant is the most popular fill! Adamant is one of the prompts which has me stumped. Still, excellent work everyone, I'm cheering you guys on, I try to read and kudos what is in my sphere of media consumption to show support :D

I've just noticed that this is a thing thanks to my lovely gift from Punch_Kicker which is in this collection and now I am intrigued. I think I may have to try this out. But where to begin???
