#Buggeruptober 2023 - The 5th Annual Widdershins Fanworks Month!

a graphic explaining what Buggeruptober is, also explained belowALT
part 2 of the graphic listing the monthly prompts, which are listed belowALT

Hello folks and welcome to the 5th annual Widdershins Fanworks Month, aka Buggeruptober! It's wild that it's been 5 years and I can’t wait to see what everyone does this year.

A quick rundown of how it works:

  • Use the daily prompts to create a piece of fanwork relating to Widdershins! Previously we’ve had drawings, snippets of fics, headcanons, AUs, music, and Ben shaped biscuits. Anything’s welcome!
  • Share your piece on Tumblr or Twitter using #buggeruptober
  • I’ll be reblogging/retweeting everything using the hashtag but you can also tag me @buggerup-busters on Tumblr or @buggeruptober on Twitter to make sure I see it
  • You can do as many or as few days as you like, there’s no pressure to do it all!
  • If you post a fic on AO3 that came from this prompt list, you can add it to the collection ‘Widdershins Fanworks Month Pieces’ – even if it is just a small scene or unfinished snippet of a fic.
  • DM me to join our Widdershins Discord Server and discuss the comic and your fanworks :)
  • Ask me if you have anymore questions and I’ll help out

That’s pretty much it, just be sure to have fun!

I got a marketing email from hobbycraft to say that they're now selling plush pumpkins ahead of halloween

so of course I went to the website, which led me to this delightful photo series showing the different sizes available:

Three photos of the same black man, holding a series of plush pumpkins. The first pumpkin (labelled small) fits within the palm of his hand, and he is looking down delighted by the tiny pumpkin. The second pumpkin (labelled medium) is still hand sized, and he is looking at the camera with a smile. The third pumpkin (labelled large) is balanced on his hand to the side, and he is looking at it in amusementALT
Two more photos of the same man holding larger plush pumpkins. The first (labelled XL) is cradled in both hands in front of his chest, and he is looking down at the pumpkin. The second (labelled XXL) covers about half his chest, and is being held out in front of him with a happy/excited look on his faceALT

I love and support this man and his pumpkin collection

Bracket Update - Round 1-O

Tournament bracket made in Excel featuring 32 webcomics, updated to round 2, 16 webcomics - Broken vs BlankIt, Ryotrips vs Dubious Company, Underneath vs Selkie, Bunny: Gore Justice vs my impossible soulmate, Sugar & Spies vs triptrack, Facility vs The Golden Boar, Aki Alliance vs Ellie on Planet , and Under the Aegis vs My Life in Blue. In the center it is labeled "O"ALT

Congratulations and / or Sympathy to our 16 victors! Home stretch for round 1!

  • XKCD, at 84.7% beats out Nimona's 79.7% for most recognized comic in the bracket (and, looking at group N, will probably stay that way)
  • By votes, however, the most recognized was Widdershins with 1,012 and 43.4% of the vote
  • That's in part because Underneath vs Widdershins got the most votes at 2332 (followed by Sugar & Spies vs Bicycle Boy at 2304). Every other poll was <900
  • The least recognized was Astral Aves, at only 6 votes (0.9%)
  • No ties, but we did have a few very close votes - City of Somnus vs BlankIt and triptrack vs Double K were both only a four vote difference.

this was maybe the best possible poll to so catastrophically lose, let’s go team \o/
