Binx, Gus-gus, and Dumpling

I have taken the odd photo of the foster-kittens with my proper camera, but most of my photos are terrible phone snaps & short videos which aren't improved by my taking photos indoors in December. Still, the camera you have with you is a better camera than the one you don't.
Gus-gus is the slightly larger kitten with a longer tail, and Dumpling is the kitten with a white tuft under her chin. We think that Gus-gus is male and Dumpling female, but wouldn't want to bet on it.
Here they are growing from 2 weeks to the end of 6 weeks : photos.app.goo.gl/qWiK9rMuBWHCA25U9

New year
Jan. 1st, 2026 06:12 pmelennaloreFor some time, I've felt like that fic writing won't come as easily to me as before, and I've allowed myself to not write if I feel like it. After S&D 2025, there was actually a month when I didn't write anything, but then I returned writing with a new chapter for my FCL-Silm crossover, and an entry for a SWG monthly challenge, Cinnamon Rolls, which is romantic fluff about Mairon/Eönwë. (I decided there are too few fics about that pairing.)
As the New Year was approaching, I felt ready to take a break from my writing hobby, content to be reading fic instead, but the SWG challenge prompts did it again: I found myself starting a new fic already today.
It's nothing much, only a short entry for one of the last year's SWG monthly challenges I can still pick as New Year's Resolution amnesty, but it's about Maedhros, whom I don't write very often even though he's one of my favourite characters, and it feels like Maedhros might give me a fresh start for this writing year.
Heads up concerning Livejournal

denise a.k.a. rahaeli a.k.a. one of the founders of Dreamwidth believes there is a strong possibility that anything on the non-Russian side of Livejournal may disappear in the not too distant future and urges backup of anything you care about.Details here on Bluesky.
I was a
b2mem mod when we were making the switch from LJ to DW, and we were careful about making sure that everything on the LJ side got copied over and/or backed up. (There were a few people who specifically didn't want their b2mem entries copied over to DW, and we respected that.) On the personal side, I'm vaguely nostalgic about some old role-playing accounts, but I don't care enough to back them up.

Admin Post: Annual Amnesty Challenge: New Year's Resolution

A new year often brings resolutions to achieve big changes. Our Resolutions challenge is much more moderate: reach for a creative achievement, no matter how small. Maybe it is a single drabble, a sketch, or a new chapter—the point is to begin a new year with an act of creativity and imagination!
Our annual amnesty allows you to pick from any of the previous year’s challenges. You do not need to use a new prompt to be eligible for this challenge. Participants can choose to complete any of the previous year's challenges. Did you miss a challenge you wanted to complete? Do it now. Did you start a fanwork for a challenge but never completed it? Here is your chance to finish. If you didn't leave any unrealized or unfinished projects behind you (congratulations!), choose from any of our 2025 challenges and start something new.
You can find the complete amnesty challenge guidelines and a list of 2025's challenges here.
You will receive a stamp on your 2025 collection for any challenges that you complete now, as well as a stamp for the New Year's Resolution challenge on your 2026 collection. When you post to the SWG archive, please make sure you select the 2025 challenge you're completing and the New Year's Resolution challenge.
This month's banner and stamps use images from the 18th-century “Chinese Arabesques” by Jean-Baptiste Pillement and Anne Allen, which plays with the theme of striving to reach the fantastical.
In order to receive a stamp for your fanwork, your response must be posted to the archive on or before 15 February 2026. For complete challenge guidelines, see the Challenges page on our website.
