Low tide was early that Sunday, but a little later in Chelsea, so I headed there on the first train out.

I reached the foreshore around sunrise, but the skies were grey and cloudy. Just past Battersea Bridge, on the foreshore, you can see the remains of trees that once grew there, a forest that is now submerged.

I found:

The largest intact bottle I’ve found so far! It’s about 18cm tall.

United Glass Bottle Manufacturers) apparently used the UGB mark from 1913-1968.
The marks on the bottom look like they say:
H781
UGB
S 28

It possibly contained disinfectant.

Another rounded bottom bottle, perhaps from the 1880s?

A piece of glass that says “W & M”

A piece of glass that looks like it says “edon” but I am not sure of the letters before that.

A mysterious white cube object with patterns that has broken off something. Possibly a spaceship.

A handle from something (possibly bone)

A piece of glass from United Dairies.

A marble

Two and a half buttons.

Part of a ginger beer bottle by W&W. Western and Wolland (W&W) were in business in Bermondsey from about 1865 to 1896, making ginger beer and lemonade. As this bottle is stoneware as opposed to glass, it’s likely to be from the earlier period.

I likely walked past the premises where this was made on the day I found this sherd but didn’t realise at the time.

Part of a bottle that says London on it.

The base of a bottle that says:
London the property of Id (letters cut off)
Not to be refilled
Regd no
853390
B&Co

B&Co could be Bagley & Co.

A green bit of a Batey bottle.

Part of a torpedo (hamilton) bottle. It says on it “E&C” and possibly “waters” and “street”. It also says “rior” - Prior? It is dark green and quite thick glass. Thicker than the other bits of torpedo bottle I’ve found.

A Van Den Bergh & Co gin bottle fragment. This would have been from a Dutch gin bottle from around the 1870s.

Hi, c'mon in and join us! :3 I hope you've brought a flashlight/torch with fresh batteries, or perhaps a sturdy padlock, and yes, you might even need a shovel, because...

Today's theme is secrets and mysteries. All prompts and fills must involve answers (are the characters searching for them? do they find them by accident?) and questions (is someone full of them? avoiding them?). Will what's hidden be revealed, or will it be safely secured and potentially forgotten?

Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^

Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.

Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt

Some examples to get things started...
+ Leverage(/Redemption) or The Librarian(s), any +/ any, so that's what that [thing] does
+ any fandom besides spy and crime fandoms, any +/ any, using invisible ink or (deciphering) a coded message
+ author's choice, any (+/ any), a secret entrance

We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2026 collection. See further notes on this option here.

Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].

While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.

As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!

If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word! comment_fic

The hazard, I'm learning, of writing romance in LLG is that for any scene to feel genuine, I have to put some of myself in it. Not my experiences (I've not engaged in much romance), but what I like.

So, you get Ostric who blushes and is easy to fluster (and who is utterly willing to tease back). Elian who is always on your side and that shared quiet of knowing one another (complicated by the realization that you don't know them as well as you thought and have you been taking them for granted? and if this bothers you, then wanting to know them more, to rebuild that sense of shared world of two). Nothia who pushes and challenges, but never dominates, who trusts you to do well and relies on you. Kian who protected you in the past and needs your support and protection now. Frey who connects intellectually as you solve a mystery together (and who is so, so bad at taking care of himself). Luvia who is brilliant, but guarded and so the story is about earning her trust, about being one of the very small number she trusts.

Like.... my ROs are so revealing.

And, if I think about it too much, writing the romances is almost uncomfortable because they're so revealing. I am writing shades of what I find appealing. If someone wants a romance where they're spoiled/etc, they're a bit out of luck in this particular story.

I saw a post on tumblr that talked about how many sex scenes in romantasy/etc are mediocre and part of me wonders if that it is due to writers being reluctant to basically undress on the page and reveal what makes them tick.

Anyone who pays attention is going to see more of me than I really find comfortable, but anything less feels false on the page.

Another dark and wet attempt at mudlarking! At least the tide was going out this time and it wasn't raining to start with.

I don't much like mudlarking in the dark but as I now only have a few months left, it seems like I should do it.

I found a bit more this time:

An ABC sherd - from the Aerated Bread Company.

A piece of a Maling jar, but this is smaller than the usual Maling Newcastle marmalade jars I find and looks like it says “rage” on it. Rage flavour jam, perhaps.

“Trent” - pottery made by Trent Reznor.

A curious piece that has “London” written on it, and some buildings that are either on a scroll or on the back of a swan. I can’t read what the other word says on it as a number is stamped over the top.

A sherd with 033 on it.

A sherd that looks like it says Cox on it.

Mann & Co, Staffs.

Hi,

welcome to the weekly chat corner. Have anything SW-related to talk about? Come and tell us.

~ ~ ~

Do you ever interact with Star Wars fans who aren't shipping-fandom fans? What has it been like?

I have a coworker who's a SW fan, and it's weird. He knows a lot of the lore, especially the older EU stuff, so I've had some really good talks with him, but the amount of times I did a tire-screech stop in the middle of saying something because oh SHIT, nope, that's shipping fandom, I will not openly admit to the guy I've read erotica about his favorite character...! XD
