Recognition

The charity I volunteer with, and for which I've recently become a trustee, Gloucestershire Bundles, is one of the 241 charities throughout the UK to have received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.



This is an incredible achievement, especially for us.  We're a local charity, working within Gloucestershire, with one part-time member of staff, and as well as the trustees there are only about ten volunteers.

The June Something - Day Two

Day 2: You've got your OTP, you have to throw a third into the mix (from the same fandom), creating an OT3. Who is the OTP, and in your opinion, why would they make a perfect third for them?

My current OTPs are Lucas North/Adam Carter from Spooks, Sherlock Holmes/John Watson from ACD Holmes (retirement era) and Sherlock Holmes/Stanley Hopkins from BBC Sherlock (my river police 'verse).  None of them, for me, would work with a third.

Which isn't to say they don't have friends, but none would make it to a relationship in the OT3 sense.  But then a lot of the OTP I'm writing is more background within my fic than the focus point.

The closest I've ever managed to an OT3, was for Winnie-the-Pooh, where I sometimes write fic of a more adult content - or at least not quite the same as the books you loved in your childhood.  [So be warned.]  I can't find it now, but I did write for a prompt in which someone had 'outed' Piglet.  Owl was trying to explain to Pooh why Piglet would have to leave the Hundred Acre Wood, and when Pooh finally understands he exclaims that he and Piglet have a wonderful relationship and sometimes Tigger joins them as well.
