#SpringFever

[fyreflakes]

Here have some old art I made of Brook and Shiza :D

I called their ship Springfever for some reason back when trying to figure out a name for them so it's fitting to release day after easter (or for me, two days after easter XP)

Reference used for the pose: That clip of Madoka and Homura dancing together in the upcoming Madoka magica movie trailer :D

This Primrose refuses to go dormant for the winter. A reminder that spring is not far away!

DO YOU HAVE SPRING FEVER.....

Spring fever is an idiomatic term used to describe a range of physiological and psychological symptoms that people may experience during the spring season. It is often associated with a renewed sense of energy, vitality, and excitement as winter comes to an end and the weather starts to warm up. Physiologically, some people may experience changes in their sleep patterns, appetite, and energy…

Step into a world where vibrant blossoms dance in the gentle sunlight of a Spring Redwood Grove, painting a masterpiece of color and life. The air is filled with a sweet serenade, as nature awakens from its winter slumber in a symphony of hues. Let yourself be mesmerized by the beauty that surrounds you, a tranquil paradise waiting to be explored.

In case someone may find it useful, or just simply interesting, here's the map I made after studying Spock's quarters (TOS) for my comic.

I made some slight changes to fit my vision and it's a fact that stuff moved around and changed from one episode to another but most of it is what you see watching the show.

I simplified a little bit the amount of decor because Spock is so extra and dramatic and I love him for that but my god does he have decorations all over xD Trying to make my work a little easier when drawing the comic.

Maybe I'll make a future post pointing out the changes and references in the map if you guys are interested.

Last week was a whirlwind of wandering in southern New Mexico, from Silver City to Alamogordo. The weather was very cooperative, with relatively low wind until the day I drove home. The snap happy week continued at Gathering of Nations of Friday.

The K/S Gazette Newsletter

Greetings and Felicitations, dear K/S friends! Happy New Year! We hope those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are staying warm and that those of you in the Southern Hemisphere are keeping cool. We have so many fannish activities going on. Let's take a look... 1. Submissions for the KiScon 2025 con zine are open now!

It's a new year, there'll be a new con, and we'll have a new con zine! Our brave 1lostone and Alice West are reprising their roles as zine editors and look forward to working with you.  While we know this is currently a contentious topic, please know that AI-generated works are not welcome here as AI-generated material is in diametrical opposition to artistic integrity, based on plagiarism, and a substantial consumer of valuable natural resources.

We are looking for new and never before seen art and writing (both fic and meta!) focusing on the relationship between Kirk and Spock.

You can read more here!!

2. Comments Made Them Do It: the February comment drive

For the month of February, we'd like for you to bring a little self-love into your life. 😏

Think of a fanwork (fic, art, vid, podfic, etc.) you created that you would like to see more interaction with. Maybe it features a tag that isn't as popular. Maybe it just happened to be posted on a busy day and only a few people saw it. Maybe you're just really darn proud of it!

Send your link to 1lostone by email or by Discord message, and she'll post it in the #self-love channel on our KiScord. Then, we'll have a lovely list of recs for people to enjoy. For the purposes of this, we ask that the fanwork has been posted for at least four months and ask that only V'Ger, the creator, send it to 1lostone.

Inspired by and special thanks to the Voiceteam Mysterybox mods for their 'Spread Love' challenge.

3. Kirk/Spock Spring Fever 2025 is happening

Here’s the schedule for 2025: Sign-ups and prompt posts: open until Jan 31 ("sign-up" is only needed for submitting prompts, not for filling them!) Prompt claims and creation period: open until March 10  Works due: March 10  Works revealed: March 22  Creators revealed: March 26 The time for all these steps is: 12:01 AM UTC.

Rules and FAQs can be found on the AO3 collection profile. They are pretty much the same as in previous years, but it’s worth checking them out for a quick refresher.

117 prompts have been collected during January and are now waiting to be filled by authors, artists, podficcers, etc. You can fill as many or as few prompts as you want, and prompts can also be filled multiple times.  There's a dedicated #ks-springfever channel in the KiScord, for discussion and mutual encouragement, and announcements are also posted to Tumblr. 4. Kirk/Spock Advent Calendar 2024 Masterlist Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Kirk/Spock Advent Calendar 2024!  93 fanworks were posted throughout December, by 26 creators; the works consist of 55 fics and ficlets, 26 poems, and 12 artworks. The 2024 collection is now closed for posting. The K/S Advent Calendar will return next year for a new round.  You can find the masterlist (in chronological order) on Dreamwidth and Tumblr. Or directly check out the AO3 collection. 5. KiScon Bingo 2025

KiScon Bingo has returned for 2025! Ping our bingo mod 1lostone to get your card!

You can (and are encouraged to) interpret the prompts in any way you can, in any medium of fanwork you choose: fic, meta, podfic, art, vid, gifset, etc.

You can also participate as reader/consumer of fanworks! Filling your bingo card by enjoying fanworks and leaving comments is a wonderful way to join the fun.

You have until Dec 31, 2025, to fill your prompts. If your fanwork is Kirk/Spock or Kirk & Spock in any universe, and you post to AO3, please use the collection link (or put "KiSconBingo", without the quotes, into the collection field during the posting process)! If you use your card to post something outside of the Trek fandom, that is perfectly fine, but it won't go into the KiScon collection.

The "challenge" comes in here: If the prompt is just something that you're iffy on, you have the option of either ignoring it and filling another line, or challenging yourself to create it!

As for 'filling' a bingo card, it's meant to be low-stress. You can fill any way that makes sense to you. Some examples are: you may create one fanwork per square, or one fanwork that uses a vertical/horizontal/diagonal line, or even a fanwork (or several) that uses everything on the card! The "free" space means you do not have to write a fic for that spot. You do not HAVE to fill every space on your bingo card! Once you fill the fanwork, please post the fill(s) (and the marked out card) in ⁠the #ks-bingo channel on the KiScord so we can celebrate you! See the pinned directions there on how to embed your card in your AO3 submission.

Feel free to use this writing event with any other writing event that tickles your frals. (Some suggestions: K/S Spring Fever and the KiScon Zine!) Have fun, and get creatin'!

6. Spotify Playlist: Last but not least, we would like to rec a beautiful playlist that Romeo made, including suggestions from the KiScord crowd: Pon Farr Night at the Vulcan Nightclub!

"Caught in a dance between the ephemeral and the eternal, I am a guest in this spectacular spring show of cherry blossoms. To be alive beneath them, swaying in the gentle breeze, is to intimately know the precious strangeness of existence. Beneath these dreamlike petals, every breath feels like a poem."
