Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
1/9/26 10:48icon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
If you are in the US and planning on voting in the Mid-Term elections (and we always encourage members to vote in their local and national elections), you might want to double check that you are registered to do so.
Mentioning this as apparently Texas has quietly unregistered about a million people from it's electoral rolls. This page helps you identify if you are still registered to vote in your State
It made the addenda of last week but worth reflecting on the scale of the pop culture icons we lost last week, with Dolly Parton, Tim Curry and Peter Cullen in the space of three days.
"Star Trek: Strange New Worlds", surprised everyone by having something akin to a "regular" Star Trek episode!!
"Lanterns" episode 3 steered straight into some fascinating, and uncomfortable to watch, social and political commentary on how John Stewart trained to become a Green Lantern, and the Guardians being REALLY bad at their prep work when recruiting on a planet for the first time.

Tuesday Pinch Hit ✎ Sky and Space [DW]
1/9/26 10:52Today's theme is sky and space. Looking up from the ground, across outer space, or down at the landscape below, the sky and space beyond is vast, beautiful, and mysterious. Let's get characters flying, exploring, or simply appreciating the view!
Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get things started...
+ Star Wars, any +/ any, a gorgeous sky painting water or stone in its many colors
+ Doctor Who, any Doctor + any, tasting the atmosphere of somewhere familiar
+ author's choice, any pilot, winged character, dragon rider, etc (+/ any), enjoying the view (after speedy or acrobatic flying)
We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word!
