In your own space, create a fanwork. Make a drabble, a ficlet, a podfic, or an icon, art or meta or a rec list. Arts and crafts. Draft a critical essay about a particular media. Put together a picspam or a fanmix. Write a review of a Broadway show, a movie, a concert, a poetry reading, a museum trip, a you-should-be-listening-to-this-band essay. Compose some limericks, haikus, free-form poetry, 5-word stories. Document a particular bit of real person canon. Take some pictures. Draw a stick-figure comic. Create something.
Wow, this is a long assignment. It's such a shame my answer is so short! Or maybe not? I'm thinking about writing something for Fandom Stocking, you see. Or maybe I'll just write up some reviews and junk and stuff 'em in this post later. Whichever.
Anyway! This is a drabble I wrote for Steely Dan's song Kid Charlemagne. I'm calling it "Still an Outlaw in Their Eyes":
“Coast clear, Hector?” asked Charley. They were crouched near the hallway to the stairs.
“Don’t see anybody,” answered Hector.
Charley sighed and slumped down. It’d been years since his heyday in the LSD-cooking scene; he figured anybody who knew his face was either dead or had forgotten about him by now. But the folks in his building must’ve been suspicious of him, or why else would they call the cops when his toaster blew up? He couldn’t risk tangling with the police, not with his record…
“Is there gas in the car?” asked Charley.
Hector nodded.
“Good. We’ll need it.”
