Title: Reminders of Miami
Fandom: Miami Vice (TV)
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: PG
Words: 668
Characters: Sonny/Rico
Summary: Sonny, Rico, and a cat. A study in Cute.
Notes: This fic in in the same ‘universe’ as my story, “Baby Ducks,” but works fine as a standalone, too.
Inspired by the scene in “Death and the Lady,” where the boys got a kitten for Gina, because I died of cute. Also, I have a special interest. I lost my own orange baby last year, after 14 years of companionship. When I got him, he’d been named Sonny. Yes, I had an orange cat named Sonny. Of course I didn’t change his name, but I did mostly call him Chewy since he was always chewing on things he shouldn’t (especially plastic bags).

Introduction Post * Meet The Mods Post * Challenge #1

Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time, or go back and do challenges you've missed.

Pets! We know them, we probably have positive associations with at least one type of pet, and they've appeared in our creative endeavors since time immemorial. Considering that, we felt that a challenge revolving around them would be appropriate.

Challenge #2: Pets of Fandom

Loosely defined! Post about your pets, pets from your canon, anything you want!

Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Also, feel free to entice engagement by giving us a preview of what your post covers.

And please do check out the comments for all the awesome participants of the challenge and visit their journals/challenge responses to comment on their posts and cheer them on.

And just as a reminder: this is a low pressure, fun challenge. If you aren't comfortable doing a particular challenge, then don't. We aren't keeping track of who does what.

Once upon a time, before the Internet, fans found each other through fanzines, clubs, and other means. Among the most famous was the Star Trek Welcommittee, which helped people find ways to participate in the fandom. The National Fantasy Fan Federation, which started even earlier, still has one going. The idea spread to other fandoms and beyond. A welcommittee is basically a group of volunteers who enjoy reaching out to new people and helping them connect with a given organization or subculture. Many organizations have them, and so do some towns.

I'd like to encourage something similar for Dreamwidth. It's a way for more experienced bloggers to participate in

newcomers. We need folks who can answer questions, explain how the platform works, and help new users find things they like in hope they'll stick around. It doesn't have to be official or complicated -- just a few concepts and resources for folks to use when they meet a new user. It helps support the platform we love.

Does anyone else in this group create their own planner? Not a BuJo, in that it's got a framework and elements of a commercially sold planner.
