Christmas Spirit

Christmas is coming

The goose is getting fat!

The voice rang out exuberantly, albeit off-key. In the lab, the genius slumped with his hands over his ears and looked wistfully at the drawer where he normally kept ear plugs. Unfortunately, he had run out and not yet had a chance to restock. Across the lair, the leader was similarly engaged in attempting to block out the caterwauling in order to successfully meditate. The elderly rat in his room was much more accustomed to tuning out sounds of this nature, and yet even he winced at the broken notes and attempted falsettos. In the dojo, a third turtle was struggling to keep his cool while tending to his chore of cleaning and sharpening the weapons.

Come on it’s lovely weather

For a sleigh ride together with you!

No matter how the four sought to ignore, tune out, or escape from the horrible singing, the piercing voice carried to every corner of the lair, assaulting their ears. Leatherhead had stopped by to exchange schematics with Donatello for a project they were collaborating on, but his visit was much shorter than any before, as he hastily made his apologies and practically ran from the noise. Casey dropped by for his usual evening escapades, but even the typically rambunctious human stood in the doorway long enough to take in the cacophony, then turned heel and escaped without talking to anyone.

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

Finally, one of the brothers had had enough. Temper boiling over, he stomped toward the kitchen where the source of the dissonance was. Meanwhile, the unsuspecting turtle from whose mouth was issuing the noise sashayed around the kitchen making a sandwich.  

“Would you please shut UP!” the words ripped from the disturbed turtle’s mouth in a snarl. “You can’t hold a tune worth anything, you get half of the words wrong, and you’re mushing together songs! My ears are practically bleeding!”

The interrupted turtle stared at his heaving brother, eyes wide and mouth hanging open mid-note.

“But… I like Christmas songs!” he defended himself.

“I know! But please, for the love of all that is holy, stop! I hate to break it to you, Raphael, but you cannot sing!!”

The red masked turtle looked rather downcast, causing his indignant brother to tack on,

“Maybe just turn on the radio.”

Somewhat belligerently, Raph did just that, cranking the volume up. With a satisfied nod, his brother exited the kitchen, to be confronted by the final three members of the family.

“Thank you, my son, for confronting the problem and finding a solution.”  Splinter said, as he inclined his head slightly.

“Yeah, thanks Mikey! I think my ear drums were about to burst.” Donnie added on.

“You know I can hear you, right?” demanded Raph from in the kitchen.

“Oh, we know! And next time we hear you try to murder a Christmas song, you’ll be on dish duty for a month!” Leo scolded. “Now enjoy your radio.”

With a snort, the hothead stalked out of the kitchen shaking his head.

“You’re all a bunch of Scrooges,” he declared, nose in the air and sandwich in hand. “See if I get you any Christmas presents!”

New Fanfic Comp - TMNT Universal Fanfic Competition

With a new year just around the corner, we are proud to announce a new TMNT fanfic competition - the TMNT Universal Fanfiction Competition! :)

“There are already TMNT fanfic comps out there,” you may think. “What’s so new about this one?” Well, first off, we want to include all kinds of fanfics of all kinds of ratings, dealing with all kinds of topics. It’s going to be, well, universal. ;)

Of course it wouldn’t be fair to have a fanfic suitable for all ages compete with a very explicit one dealing with violence. So we decided to split it up, and each part is going to have its own categories and its own ballot for nominating and later on for voting.

Here are the overall-categories:

General

Foreign Languages

Inspired by / Inspiring for Fanfictions

Mature

Erotica

Yes, you read that right. We are going to include fanfics in other languages than English, but we have to keep it to Spanish, German, and French. That’s something completely new. Also, we decided to think outside the box and give you the chance to nominate other amazing things made by fans like fanarts, meta, etc. (More details will follow when we explain all the categories in an extra post.)

We do realize that mature and erotica fanfics are not everybody’s cup of tea, so we are going to use the following tags for posts dealing with these: #universal comp mature and #universal comp erotica. That way, you can block these tags and won’t risk to stumble over something you don’t want to see while still following our blog.

We’ll give you more information on the rules, dates, and anything you need to know. In the meantime, to a new fanfic competition! Cheers! Let’s make it a good one. :)

The TMNT Mature Comp has evolved into bigger and better things this year. All your TMNT fanfic needs in one place.

Hummerhouse and I came up with the idea to ask authors to list their eligible fics and where they are posted in their entirety, since it''s been 2 and a half years, and we all need a little memory jog. Hummer's implemented it on her dA page (the post Toot Your Own Horn!). This is also a good place for authors to state that they won't be participating. Please help us get the word out! Thanks, Ravenshell

Hahaha, Toot your Own Horn, I love it! Maybe reblog this with a link for the people who are active on DA as well so they can add to it, and we’ll start one here shortly.

Some time ago I asked Suthnmeh if I could draw something about the 6th chapter of Ghost of a Chance”, a fanfiction she’s writing with Violette-aner. If you’re still not in this amazing fanfiction just GO READ IT NOW. They’re doing a great job !

So I felt like drawing something about this scene between Donnie and April - Because this is literally the hottest training session I have ever read. I don’t know why, but I feel like Donnie’s enjoying the situation a bit… and no April isn’t disgusted, she’s just super uncomfortable… and blushing, a lot.

I don’t know if this is the way it really happens in the chapter bu this is how I see the scene in my head, so sorry if there is something wrong :o

Thanks for allowing me to draw this !
