Smut Swap 2018

Sat, 03 Mar 2018 09:08:23 GMT

Hello, I’m polkad0tting (polkadot on AO3). Welcome to my little world!

I’m super excited about this exchange. I love smut, and romance, and smutty romance. I’m thrilled that you’re interested in writing for one of these ships, and I hope you have as much fun writing as I will undoubtedly have reading. :)

I’m requesting three fandoms – NFL RPF, Original Work, and Marvel Cinematic Universe – but I’m splitting my NFL RPF into several parts because I have different kinks for different ships. So my overall slate looks like this:

NFL RPF 1 - Stefon Diggs/The Rest of the Vikings Team
NFL RPF 2 - Antonio Brown/Xavier Rhodes
NFL RPF 3 - Anthony Barr/Eric Kendricks
NFL RPF 4 - Teddy Bridgewater/Any Vikings Player, Teddy Bridgewater/Stefon Diggs
Original Work - NFL Player/His Boyfriend
Marvel Cinematic Universe – M’Baku/T’Challa

Don’t worry, even though my football love looks intimidating there, I am equally thrilled by M’Baku and T’Challa. Whatever you matched on will delight me, I assure you!

On to likes and DNWs. :)

Vikings Video Compilation Post

Sat, 03 Mar 2018 02:03:30 GMT

This is a reference post for me and for anyone else who loves the Vikings and/or wants to get a sense for the team's personalities and locker room dynamics. I'm biased, but I think we have the best locker room in the league, and our guys are really fantastic. And I love "96 Questions" to death!

96 Questions, for anyone uninitiated, is a weekly in-season segment hosted by Brian Robison (#96). Every week during the season he goes around the locker room and asks his fellow teammates the question of the week. Hilarity ensues. B-Rob is an amazing host and he is never allowed to retire now because a) he's really good at football and we need him, and b) he's really good at hosting and if 96 Questions dies when he leaves I'm gonna cry.

96 Questions just finished its third year, and under the cut you can find separate links to all the episodes, with the question of the week included to help you decide which to watch. Most are between 6 to 8 minutes. 2015 and 2016 are on the Vikings website, and 2017 is on Youtube.

( Follow me! )

Besides 96 Questions, there are also other funny Vikings videos. For example, there were Words with Teammates tournaments a couple of years, including one that Kendricks and Barr rocked. I'll do that list soon. And I love the 'spelling bee' videos (where the guys are asked to spell a new teammate's fiendishly difficult name - one year it was Moritz Böhringer, another year Ifeadi Odenigbo). Links coming soon!

NPT Letter, 2017

Hello, I’m polkad0tting (polkadot on AO3). Welcome to my little world! ;)

I have lots of old letters from many different exchanges, so if you’d like more insight and/or ideas about what I enjoy, please do feel free to poke through them. I'm being a lot more minimalistic in this particular letter because my recent letters got really long, so if I err too far in the other direction you'll find oodles of extra prompts in past letters (and all of them can still be used).

( Basics: Like and squick lists )

My requests:

* Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen --- Jane Bennet/Charles Bingley

Migration complete!

Sat, 08 Apr 2017 20:55:37 GMT

Because of the new LJ ToS, I've made a long-overdue migration to Dreamwidth. I'm a bit paranoid about Russia given the 2016 election shenanigans, and I've written a lot of slash that I've been linking/posting/etc. on LJ. Given Russia's opinion about gay people and 'promoting homosexuality', I figure moving to Dreamwidth is a good idea.

I've imported all of my old entries to this Dreamwidth journal. I'll leave the entries on my LJ up for now (unless LJ tells me they're against Russian law and to take them down). From now on I will be solely posting to Dreamwidth.
