Challenge 279:
HAUNTED LIBRARY
Books as far as the eye can see, neatly maintained shelves with just the occasional hint of dust, the gentle murmur of whispered conversation. It’s a good place to do some research, a little light reading, or just some relaxing – quiet, peaceful, pleasant.

Maybe a little bit too quiet. Those conversations should be audible, but somehow they’re always just a little too low to hear. There’s a few lights burned out, but some of the shadows are just a little too deep, just a little too impenetrable. And – hey, didn’t the library close twenty minutes ago?

Write a story about a haunted library.

BONUS GOAL: Bats in the Belfry

If your submission features bats, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, October 27 at 9:00PM EST.
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 279 – haunted library

I made a scarf.

It's pretty and airy and flowy. I don't have much to say about this scarf as an object, but as a process... buckle up.

I've been working through the School of Sweet Georgia Learn to Knit path. I know how to knit but I've wanted to pick up a few refinements and sometimes I run out of harmless junk to watch on YouTube and need something else to zone out to.

Towards the end of last year I watched Tabetha Hedrick's Cable 101 course, which I really enjoyed. I've knit cables in the past but before this course I don't think I had a working knowledge of them. I could look at a cable chart, match up the chart symbol to the abbreviation and then read the description of the abbreviation to knit the cable. Then when I memorised the pattern I could knit without doing all that referencing, but I never really felt "fluent" in cables. Actually, I didn't even know that was something you could be.

It is once again mini-amnesty time! Toss your Dark Forest fills (and just for fun, let's say any fills for other #270-anything prompts) at the community until Wednesday at 9pm, or whenever after that your friendly neighborhood mod has a chance to get the new challenge up.

Our new challenge is our eighty-second:

AMNESTY



During amnesty challenges, you can post works for any of the challenges we've had to date: Complete list of prompts )

See the Community Report for a sortable list of prompts.
Both reports have a random "Any Challenge" button, and the Creator Report also has a random "Unfilled Challenge" button.


Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time!

In amnesty rounds, include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (eg, Garden: The Untamed: Icons: Bunnies!).

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Saturday, 1 November. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom, media and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

You can view stats for [community profile] fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details. Please let us know if you have any trouble accessing the reports.

Also, keep an eye out for the next [community profile] ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the comm yet, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Remember, posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

Holkham Bible cote.

sister_raphael: (underconstruction)
[personal profile] sister_raphael


Embroidery of a pattern from the Holkham Bible will begin soon. The pattern was likely woven into the fabric but as I do not have the means to reproduce that, embroidered will do.

It's a bit stressful as the cote itself is finished and very nice and if I mess up the decoration, I ruin a rwally lovely garment. I'm very keen to make it though, as this type of thing fits my locale and time period for re-enactment as is under-represented in reproduction clothing.

And it's stylish.
