Since we started on Nov. 13, 2024, Have You Read This DC Fic? has asked about over 1,000 stories. Over 600 people have followed the blog. 77 named and many more anonymous people have submitted fic.

We've had fic from all the way back into the 90s. We've had fics from at least 8 different sites, some only still available through the Wayback Machine. We've had fic based on the comics, the movies, the TV shows, the webcomics, and the video games. We've had dark fic, fluff, horror, romance, mystery, and weird avant-garde stuff that's hard to classify.

I'm having a lot of fun running this thing, but I'm not really great at outreach. I don't even like talking, most of the time! Since we've covered less than 0.2% of the DC fic on AO3, and 280 new fic were posted yesterday alone, I'm pretty sure we're not running out of good stories. But I don't know how to convince people to submit them.

Would you guys be willing to help spread the word?

We want older fans who know about fic the young'uns have never seen

We want fans of smaller parts of the DCU, who can share fic about niche characters

We want het shippers (we have SO LITTLE DickKory or DickBabs you guys!)

We want Pre-Crisis fans

We want Arkham Asylum fans, and Injustice fans, and fans of video games I've never heard of

We want comedy fans

Look, I keep flooding the blog with Batfamily hurt/comfort and kink-as-emotional-exploration. I'm never going to find Miraculous Ladybug crossovers on my own! I've got Jimmy Olsen prejudice, and fail to understand the appeal of shipping villains - I need y'all to help me out!

(I also want y'all to keep sending in all the familial gen, because that's what I like but struggle to find!)

No transphobes allowed, only transborbs.

is it?

because they say in the movie that it'll take 11 years or so for communication with earth to happen, which means that if ryland grace starts tumblr blogging right after he wakes up, it could take anywhere from roughly 5-ish earth years for his posts to show up. (taking that tumblr posting takes a lot less internet than it does to have a phone call that's active and always updating).

Just people coming up with theories where the truth is weirder than the insane theory

Ancient Aliens gets ridiculed by Hawkman who is like "Of course aliens did not build the pyramids

As someone who was born at the time and reincarnated throughout human history I can confirm that the alien technology that crashed down in that land did so long after construction of many of them had long since been completed and in any case, Nth Metal would be entirely unsuitable for pyramid building

They were built by humans

Here is what the backside looks like. OP notes this takes more fabric than paper piecing, but that excess fabric makes it already triple-layered. Besides not needing backing fabric, I don't think you'd need batting for this quilt at all. It's already thick and soft just from folding all that fabric into a hexagon.

Each hexagon begins as a 6" circle. camelscrafts does this by creating a paper template using a compass. According to the video, a 6" circle will create a hexagon that is 2.5 inches tall.

These hexagons are hand-sewn. Thread the needle.

With the fabric right side facing, find the center of the circle by folding it in half right sides together, then folding it in half again (wrong sides are facing). The top of the triangle shape is the center of the fabric circle.

Make a small stitch into the center of the fabric. The wrong side is still facing.

Unfold the circle. There will be a small stitch in the center.

Now the hexagon is created by folding the circle into itself: Take the needle to one of the edges of the fabric (it doesn't matter which one). Pull the needle through and pull the thread tight. This will fold down the fabric and create an edge of the hexagon. Crease the fold with your finger.

This fold has two corners, one at the top and one at the bottom. Put the needle into one of the corners and pull the thread taut. This will create another fold.

Continue this going around the circle until all of it is folded down, creating the hexagon. camelscrafts notes that the last corner pulled in may be a little bit "wonky" (no precise point in the corner) if the corners were not done precisely. However, that corner is pulled into the back, so is not visible from the front.

The hexagon is now formed. Sew around the folds in the middle of the circle to hold the folds in place. Tie off and cut the thread.

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
