Fanfics of November

Hello fanpeople, and happy November! I hope your lives are going well.
Today, I, Anna am writing to bring you a collection of fanfiction, namely, oneshots and poems. I hope that you enjoy this short compilation.

1. To start our list on a humorous note, I bring a oneshot by DancingInTheRain34, called Blue Cheese. It features Bilbo, some dwarves, and food.

2. Constellations by Nietzsche's Itch
[This is a collection of oneshots, but I linked the first one.]
A lovely oneshot from Jobal Naberrie's POV. (That's Padme Amidala's mother for those of you who are unaware.) This character is often forgotten, and it's refreshing to have some deviation from the normal set of characters.

3. Loved Forever by whiteroses12
A short, but sentimental Phantom of the Opera oneshot.

4. Tris by Erin Hanson.
I haven't read Divergent, but I love this poem. This poet has a way of making words stand out.

5. Avatar: A New Beginning by Albus Paulson.
This Avatar oneshot reminds us of little Aang, reflecting on his youth and innocence.

6. Hunger Games Poems by Sesp24
A short collection of free verse poetry, based on the Hunger Games.
WARNING: May contain spoilers, so if you haven't read the books, don't read these poems.

7. A Poem By Merlin by Phoenix Fairie
Another free verse poem, dramatic and wonderfully descriptive.


I hope you enjoyed this set! Let me know in the comments below.

Divergent as Told By a Fan to Someone Who Hasn't Read It

I have decided to give all Divergent fans a treat of the most excellent sort. 

Anna, our very own Anna, is not in the fandom. So, obviously, I decided to bestow her with an explanation of the series...and things escalated from there. The funniest part? She didn't know what I was doing. I give thee a tale in screenshots. 

It started out simply. 

Very simply. A few references, yada yada.

A couple of Dauntless wishes.

A tad of Tris feels.

A couple more references.

Then I got a bit crazed.

In essence, I became Tris.

Anna began to get worried.

Then a lightbulb occurred.

Then...confusion.

Then, sarcasm.

While I become suitable for a mental institution.

And then, just as I was reaching the good part...abrupt end. I wept aloud.

Because fangirling is my joy.

10 Subtle (And Not So Subtle) Items to Add to Your Fandom Home

Good day, loyal fangirls and fanboys! Today I bring you ten ways to decorate your home and/or bedroom without looking totally tacky. You know, so you don't turn into that person that's so obsessed that all you see anywhere at any time are print-outs of memes all over the walls. Let's show the world that we can be fans and show it proudly while still being taken seriously.

First up, some beautiful Doctor Who stepping stones that would be mistaken for abstract awesomeness by anyone not in the fandom:

Turn your garden in a wibbly-wobbly Gallifreyen epic. DIY instructions available here.

#2. This Iron Man themed throw pillow is cool and classic with clean lines. It's no longer available, but with some observation you could probably DIY it. 

#3. This coffee mug is slightly playful and easily recognizable for what it is: a perfect reference to an amazing book. Now longer available at the Etsy shop it came from, but again, this would be an easy DIY. 

#4. Another nod to the Hunger Games, give your kitchen some District 12 flair with this hand towel from Peeta's family bakery. 

Get it here.

#5. This excerpt from the Dauntless Manifesto reminds us what bravery really is, and looks great on any wall. 

Get it here.

#6. This one is so subtle even a few die-hard fans would miss it. A gold or silver apple from the garden in the Far North of Narnia will clearly show how much you want to see Aslan's country. 

Spray paint some fake apples (or real ones for a more temporary display) for this super-easy decoration. 

 #7. Think Mordor was hot? The fires forged in this ring will be even hotter.

Get it here.

#8. The most un-subtle item of all, it is also the most epic. What person in their right mind would not jump at the chance to get a Han-Solo-encased-in-carbonite fridge?  Unfortunately, I could not find out where to get this, but trust me, when I do, it's being posted.

#9. Get that Rivendell feel with these beautiful chairs designed by John Makepeace. They're probably really expensive, but oh, the inspiration. 

#10. Lastly but not leastly (is that a word?), show your support for Camelot with these Pendragon crest pillows. Merlin would be proud.

 Get them here.

What do you think? Are you suddenly wishing you had a house to decorate?

Fanart of the Month

Hey Everyone! This month's fanart list falls to me to put together, and I have done my utmost. As you will find, I love pencil drawings and pen-and-ink work, though colorful stuff is also appreciated. So, without further ado, here's some fanart! 

Narnia by masiani. This lovely work perfectly portrays the essence of Narnia as Lucy found it. Look at that detail; the shading, the slight wispy-ness of the lines. Beautiful.

Young Aragorn by ilxwing. This next piece is a beautiful work portraying Aragorn (or Estel, as he would have been called) as a young boy in Elrond's house. I LOVE this piece. The lines are so simple and clean.

Tears For the Fallen by phantomphreaq. This one is a gorgeous and poignant rendition of the moment Eómer finds Eówen on the battlefield. All my feels are coming back...:'(

This piece of Bucky (as the Winter Soldier) is another sad one. I love the detail and feeling in this drawing. I could not find the artist for this one, so if anyone knows who it is please tell me so I can credit them!

Rabadash by surburbanbeatnik. For anyone who's read The Horse and His Boy, here is a lovely picture of bratty Prince Rabadash. If not, here's a picture of bratty Prince Rabadash anyway.

 Portrait of Prim by joanap. Prim! This is beautiful and another sad one. I just finished reading Mockingjay, so it's bringing back all my feels. So, to change the subject, I would like to point out the perfect shading and the perfect emotions reflected in her eyes. Oh, the pain. 

Don't Blink by Lehanan. Anna's technically the Doctor Who person over here, but I couldn't help posting this. Look at that work! It's giving me chills.

 Look. They're being friends and confidants just like they should be. Just having a nice, untroubled-by-magical-creatures-and-evil-half-sisters conversation. *goes off and cries* This one is also uncredited, unfortunately.

Beatrice Prior by ansimeone. Tris, shown here in the clothes she wore while a refuge in Amity, is much more like I imagined her when I read the books than the movie version. Don't get me wrong. Shailene Woodly did a great job. But I imagined Tris more like this.

Icy Blood by jen-and-kris. Look at the vivid color is this one! The fear in his eyes and the different painting style in this are gorgeous. Poor Loki, back when he was innocent and hurting. :(
