And noticing a certain fandom holiday is fast approaching…  are we doing anything for it this year?  And I’ve been a bad Bean, off in other fandoms much of the year…but we come home for the holidays, am I right?

Asking fellow Beans @entrenous88, @elisa-pie, @hopeforyouyet, @loves-pie, @psychoticpterodactyl16, @rabidchild67, @semperama, @seepunkrun, @suedescripture, @trekbedtimestories, @unculturedmamoswine, @wolfi-sama, and anyone else who wants to chime in.

Since our little pinto family has scattered somewhat to other fandoms, perhaps we could do a fandom fusion extravaganza? As long as you don’t ALL write It and Stranger Things aus, we’ll be ok 😉 (though I’d be 90% likely to do a warrior cats au if I wrote anything so)

Interesting idea!  All the crossovers and mashups… hmmm.  Maybe we should make it an option rather than a requirement, just to appeal to the widest array of content makers.

Nooooo. In the nicest way possible. No. Pinto de mayo is PINTO. Please don’t put the final knife in my heart and post other fandom content to celebrate pinto de mayo. I’m going in to mourning if you do.

Hmmm.  Well, that’s a good point too.  And it also feels like while some fandoms are easy to crossover (e.g., Bond and Sherlock), I haven’t really seen Pinto crossed over with anything but Trek. 

I guess the question becomes is it more of a death toll if we have mostly crickets and 1-2 “pure” Pinto works, or if we have 10 that involve other fandoms as well.  I don’t think I’d do a crossover… the other fandoms I write don’t mesh well with Pinto, but I want to encourage as many folks as possible.  And I have zero interest in being fandom police about it.

I’ve been a bad bean too, but it’s not that I’ve been off in other fandoms – it’s just that I’ve hardly written anything over the past year. But I’m slowly getting back into it so I can try? Even if it’s just something little. I’m sad that Pinto fandom has gone so quiet.

Yes!  Trying is good!  Little is good!  Drabbles are wonderful!  Little tiny Pinto moments…

I’m definitely going to try to write something! Like @loves-pie, my problem lately has been less other fandoms (although I do have some new interests ngl), but just that it’s been hard to write ANYTHING, but Pinto de Mayo can serve as a fun reason to get back in the saddle, even if I only manage a short thing! Last year I think we were pretty scattered too, and we still managed to have lots of new fic on PdM, so I’m sure we can do it again (if people are interested, that is).

Gonna tag a few more people who may or may not want to come home for the holidays, as you said. 😀 No pressure, guys! @srarahcha, @zjofierose, @mimblebee, @voldiebuns, @stellarbisexual, @commodorecliche, @cardassiansunrise

i’ve been looking at the calendar too!! last year’s Pinto de Mayo inspired me to write my first pinto fic! and afterwards it got me so galvanized to write more and i absolutely havent… BUT. the last couple days ive been thinking about a followup to last year’s fic. so i can work on that! and i love the idea of drabbles. lets get some prompts going!

@bookworm428 @struckamatchwithfeeling

I hope I can push something out but like others I haven’t been able to write much at all. Maybe a prompt/ticket thing and publish on PdM

Maybe we should have excitement-generating activities leading up to PdM.  We have 3 weeks.  So maybe

Week 1: Why we love them/what we’d love to see them in.  Recommending old stories/art, showing love to old, stalled out WIPs, and posting prompts.

Week 2: Headcanons, teasers, and drabbles.  Did you start something?  Share a few lines.  Didn’t start something but reading those old stories made you remember a headcanon? Tell us about it.

Week 3:  more teasers leading to the BIG REVEAL.

Or something…I’m totally making this up.  But it feels like we might get further supporting each other and creating some community buzz over the next few weeks as opposed to just acknowledging a deadline.
