( Read more... )
The Killer(s) may have tried to cut my power, but the forces of Good and Light banded together with their friends at the power company and restored it fairly quickly!
Unfortunately, they apparently demanded a sacrifice, and that is whyeeyore_grrl is leaving us. (or she missed a second deadline after returning to the game with one bye. It was one of those two things!!)
For the rest of us though, the game moves forward. The person with the fewest votes who does NOT get eliminated this round has the opportunity to open Pandora’s Box and see what is inside of it, to unleash into the game!!
There will be *spins the wheel* 2 contestants leaving us this week!
So it’s more important than ever to get the word out. Read, comment and vote for your favorites! And then tell your friends about all the cool stuff you are reading here!!
The poll will close Thursday October 16th at 8pm ET.
Good luck to everyone!
Vote For Your Favorites!

asphodel [as-fuh-del]
noun:
1 any of various southern European plants of the genera Asphodelus and Asphodeline, of the lily family, having white, pink, or yellow flowers in elongated clusters.
2 an everlasting flower said to grow in the Elysian fields
On that memorable trip, I wandered unexpectedly into a glade absolutely filled with bright asphodel. Crowded spires of luminous white, punctuating the misty evergreen dimness, was about the last thing I expected; the scene was remarkable. (Matt Collins, Why I've fallen in love with the asphodel – the glamorous bulb from the Med , Telegraph, August 2021)
Bosa was once renowned for its leather-making industry and is still filled with historical boutiques, where the art of tannery has been passed down across generations, as well as stores selling coral jewelry and asphodel baskets. (Silvia Marchetti, 20 of the most beautiful villages in Italy, CNN, August 2022)
So lovely is the asphodel that it was said to grow in the Elysian Fields: blessed fields of the afterlife in ancient Greek literature. (Katherine Wagner-Reiss, What’s in a Plant Name? Narcissus, Daffodils, and Jonquils, NYBG, April 2017)
I pity you, Milanion, for when thou dost race with me, the goal is assuredly the meadows of asphodel near where sit Pluto and Persephone on their gloomy thrones. (Jean Lang, A Book of Myths)
The Graces assembling seemed to have joined hands in meadows of asphodel to compose that face. (Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse)
Within a Hell of godless emptiness
submit yourself ever more to sleep's spell.
All is a dream, all is nothingness:
the flower of the world is the asphodel. (Gabriele D'Annunzio, 'Poema paradisiaco')
Origin:
late 14c, from Latin asphodelus, from Greek asphodelos, also sphodelos, spodelos, 'asphodel, king's spear, plant of the lily kind,' which is of unknown origin; 'A substrate word, as is shown by the variants' [Beekes]. It was the peculiar plant of the dead; and in Greek mythology and English poetic use it overspreads the Elysian meadows. (Online Etymology Dictionary)
Lonely Prompts Sunday, Week 41 [DW Edition]
↑↑↑ Available dates:
October 14 & 16
October 28 & 30
November 4 & 6
Happy Sunday, everyone! :D It's time for our weekly Lonely Prompts day. If this is your first time at
How to look for prompts:
We have plenty of prompts that might just nibble away at your brain today. You can browse through the comm's calendar archive (here on LJ or here on DW) for themed and Free For All posts, or perhaps check out Sunday posts for Lonely Prompt requests. (Or, you can be like me, and try to save interesting prompts as you see 'em... and then end up with multiple text doc files full of [themes + links + prompts] that you can easily look through and search for keywords.) Multiple fills for one prompt are welcome, by the way! Oh, and you are very likely to find some awesome fills to read as well, and wouldn't it be nice to leave a comment on those lovely little writing distractions? ~_^
Whichever you decide to do, prompt or fill (or both), please remember:
1. You can only request five prompts to be filled.
2. You can request no more than three prompts from a particular fandom.
3. You can, however, fill as many prompts in as many fandoms as you'd like!
4. In the subject line, be sure to say whether it is a request or a fill!
5. You must link back to wherever the prompt is in the community archive (whether filling or requesting), and, if you're filling the prompt, please post the fill as a reply to the original prompt.
6. If you are filling an "any/any" prompt, please let us know what fandom you've written it for (or if it's original!).
8. If there are possible triggers in your story, please warn for them in the subject line!
7. If you've filled any lonely prompts in the past week, this is the place to share them!
9. Finally, please remember to add your prompt fills to our AO3 collection: Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this option here.
