Here are my recommendations (including the gifts I received!) for battleshipex 2024's round! I loved all my gifts and was very fortunate to receive almost 20 spanning fic, art, and podfic! There are so many fantastic works in the collection that I have and haven't checked out (mostly due to canon blindness) so please have a look at the collections! If you enjoy something, please consider giving it a kudos and leaving a comment!

My gifts are highlighted as so: GIFT

My list is in fandom alphabetical order. I didn't go as far as to list the works in chronological order via word count or ratings because I am not that dedicated and I haven't done a wrap up post in two years and actually wanted to get this out before we are all dead.

So I think this round of seasonsofdrabbles might be my favourite??? It's hard to have a favourite when there's always a handful of amazing drabbles that just hit me in the face or kick me in the gut or rip my heart out.

As a participant, I love every round because I make it a point to spice up my requests and ask for a few different fandoms. As a creator, I like to use this as an opportunity to experiment, try new characters/ships, and challenge myself with great ideas inspired by amazing requests. This time around, I stuck to 200-300 words because I was busy with ficinabox. (I did try to write 100 words, but the drabble that originally had it didn't feel right, so 100 words unfortunately didn't make it as a successful hit on my Drabble Writing Bingo Card. Sometimes that happens! I was still very, very happy with what I had spun into tiny stories.) I also wrote some ships I've never written before, which was exciting and terrifying.

I was absolutely spoiled. (I got a drabble focusing on a character study of my favourite The Boys character and drabbles of my main fandom, TVD! (So glad I didn't sacrifice that request for something else!) I also got a DCU Comics drabble (I was so excited to shake that!) and, of course, what appears to be my main fandom, MCU.)
