ysabetwordsmithA NASA satellite caught a giant tsunami doing something scientists didn’t expect
When a huge earthquake struck near Kamchatka, the SWOT satellite captured an unprecedented, high-resolution view of the resulting tsunami as it crossed the Pacific. The data revealed the waves were far more complex and scattered than scientists expected, overturning the idea that large tsunamis travel as a single, stable wave. Ocean sensors confirmed the quake’s rupture was longer than earlier models suggested. Together, the findings could reshape how tsunamis are modeled and predicted.

Tuesday: Hurt/Comfort
Jan. 5th, 2026 09:44 pmWe’re looking for guest hosts to help keep the community going on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You can sign up for any Tuesday and Thursday pairing that works for you, one week or multiple, totally up to you.
What you need to know:
* You must be able to post on LiveJournal and Dreamwidth
* If you don’t have an account on one of those platforms, just let me know which one and I’ll post on your behalf.
* Guest hosting is low-pressure. Just use the hosting template and insert your theme and three prompts to get us started.
* You don’t need prior hosting experience, just enthusiasm and reliability.
👉 Interested?

If you have questions or want to double-check expectations before signing up, feel free to reach out. I’d love to have you help keep
Now, for today's theme. Hurt/Comfort. When you hurt them, make sure to comfort them too.
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 the ball rolling...
NCIS, Tony DiNozzo (undercover during season 4 to catch "La Grenouille" ) + Team, bad news from home
CSI: Miami, Horatio Caine/Marisol Delko Caine, forgetting the pain
Teen Wolf, Derek Hale/Stiles Stilinski, shelter
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. 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 new 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!
