FK Recently: What You Guys Have Been Up To (12/01/15-12/31/15)

Happy new year!

For the month of December, in my corners of social journaling, here are the Forever Knight items that I happened to see:

Ficathons, fests and communities that welcome FK

• fancake, an ongoing multifandom recommendation community, is kicking off the new year with an "Old Fandoms" round. Qualifying fandoms premiered 10 or more years ago. FK qualifies!
• snowflake_challenge, an annual multifandom meta-prompt challenge, runs through 1/15. You can join in (or drop off) at any time. The prompts are FK-friendly.
• fandom_stocking, an annual multifandom treat fest, continues taking fills until 1/06. Fills may be stories, poems, icons, recommendations, warm wishes... whatever you like! Here're the stockings with FK wishes.
• Recommendation communities that would welcome you posting about your FK favorites include: fanart_recs, het_reccers, gensplosion, recshelf and fancake. (Know more FK-friendly rec communities? Tell me about them!)

Fanfiction
3 of the 633 FK stories on the AO3 show posting dates in this period:

• "Trumpet St Peter's Angels by greerwatson (~4K words; G)
• "Instagramming a Myth" by andveryginger (~1K words; G)
• "New King of the Vampires" by Dragonsteamfan (crossover with Subspecies) (WIP, 19K+ words; T)

Meta (essays, discussion, etc.)

• Under lock, someone noted that "TV-eh?" was polling for "[Canadian] Show You'd Like to See Brought Back" (among other things), but that FK wasn't an available option.
• Under lock, someone pointed out the fannish product "Adventure Scents." They seem to have scents appropriate to various FK characters: Natalie, Lacroix, Nick, Screed, Tracy...
