Live from New York, It’s Saturday Night! - Mark Lee

Summary: In September 2024 you found out that you’ll be hosting Saturday Night Live in December! You’re a bit nervous and as time passes you realize you need to choose a musical guest. What happens when you request one of your favorite artists and he just so happens to be in NY that weekend for Jingle Ball AND has a new solo releasing the next Monday (you just don’t know about the solo yet). Will he say yes?

warnings: implied that Y/N reads fan fiction about Mark because I thought it was funny, fluff, kissing

masterlist

author’s note: I know all of Dream were in NY but for plot purposes Mark is a soloist in this fic because I didn’t want Y/N to seem like a solo stan for inviting Mark alone

“MATT IF YOU DON’T SAY SIKE RN I’M GOING TO HIT YOU” a woman’s loud voice echos through the apartment

“Y/N WHY WOULD I JOKE ABOUT THIS. I know this has been a dream of yours” A males voice can be heard from the phone in the her hand.

Let’s pause and give some background context, shall we?

Y/N L/N, accomplished actress at the young age of 23 years old. You’ve been acting since a young age starting on the Disney Channel. When you were a teen you made it out of Disney and began taking more rolls outside of the image you had previously crafted for so many years. Now here you are, a multi-academy award nominated actress (you’ve won a couple too 😉). You grew up watching Saturday Night Live with your parents and SNL was a goal you’d always wanted to achieve in your career which brings us to the present day. You’ve been booked to host SNL and you couldn’t be more excited!

"Matt can I call you back, I'm gonna go scream, cry, hyperventilate, and probably run a lap around the block" You tell your manager Matt, he's become more of your best friend in the time you've known him so he's pretty used to your dramatics.

"Yea, I'll get more details and discuss some contract related things with them and I'll swing by yours in a couple hours." He finishes hanging up the call.

You let out a squeal as you skip around your house. If you were being completely honest with yourself, you don't think you were this happy when you got nominated for your academy awards.

✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎

As the days grow into weeks, Halloween is beginning to approach rapidly and you're on your way to meet with team at SNL to discuss of details that need to be prepared ahead of time for your episode.

your episode...

Yup! your episode in the 50th season of SNL. Things are moving quickly. It's already been almost a month since you got the call notifying you of your casting and you haven't been able to think of anything else. You're so excited to hear the pitches from the cast about the skits they want to do. Being able to work in this environment is like a dream come true.

One of the things you're nervous about is the topic of the meeting today. They want you to have a musical artist picked out so you will need to be providing a list of people that they can reach out to to ensure they get the artist booked before everyone has their schedules set for the holidays.

You arrive to the meeting greeting everyone in the room as you listen intently to what's being said. As time goes on you just get more and more excited about the process.

"... and finally the last thing we need to get ironed out today is who you'd like to have for your musical guest. As you know this episode will be airing December 14th so we'll need to be mindful of holiday plans and schedules so we really should get on this soon. For right now we'll get the name of the top artist you'd like to have and we'll have your management send over the rest of the list via email so we can get an artist booked as soon as possible."

You nod as you listen intently.

"So who is your top artist at the moment" He looks at you expectantly

"I'd like to have Mark Lee be my music guest. He's a singer and wrapper with a sizable following and I think he'd be a great fit." You try to come off confident but you know he has the power to just flat out say no if he wants

"Hmmm... I'll have to look into him before we make any calls but... we'll keep you updated." You nod in response.

You leave the building with a pep in your step and a smile on your face as you anticipate the coming months of preparation

✈︎✈︎✈���✈︎

"Hey Matt, what's up" You ask as you pick up the phone. It's a Saturday in November so you were relaxing at home as you watch the people wrapped in their winter coats facing the cold of the coming New York winter.

"I have an update from SNL. I thought you'd like to hear this one."

"Oooh what is it?" He's piqued your interest

"They've confirmed your musical guest for your episode of SNL and the guest was from the list we gave them"

"OH MY GOD really?!?!!?! Is It Mark? Matt please tell me it's Mark." You didn't want to get your hopes up but clearly your attempts were futile for how much you were anticipating his answer.

"Stay calm Y/N... but yes... Mark's management just agreed to have him be your musical guest"

"...Matt...I'm going to mute myself real quick..." You quickly get out before muting yourself and screaming bloody murder into your pillow. THE Mark Lee... agreed to be YOUR musical guest... on YOUR episode of SNL...? Life just took a whole new turn of unreal. You've been a fan of Mark for a while now and him agreeing to join you is insane.

You clear your throat as you pick your phone back up again "...hey Matt... soo... Mark Lee... he said yes?"

"Yup he'll be in town for the jingle ball event that's happening the day before so they agreed to extend his stay for a couple of extra days"

"Great! I can't wait!"

"The SNL producers would like to hold another meeting soon to discuss the logistics with his team and with you so start preparing yourself mentally. I know you like him but don't try to jump his bones through the screen."

"Heyyyy, I would never..." You try to defend yourself.

"Yea yea... I'll talk to you soon"

✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎

"Y/N it's good to see you again, I hope your preparations have been going well." One of the producers greets you as you enter the room

"They have! I'm excited to be back with you all again"

"Y/N this is Mark Lee and his manager, they're joining us through zoom from their company in South Korea. Today's objective is to talk over what our expectations are for Mark as the musical guest as well as clear up any questions. Shall we get started?"

You nod trying to focus on the task at hand and less of the fact that the man you've had a minor celebrity crush on for years isn't perceiving you over zoom at the moment.

"After we received your offer I put some thought into the songs I'd like to perform that day. I think this is a unique opportunity and I think the songs chosen will be perfect for the SNL stage" Mark begins

"We figured it'd be nice to start with a slower track with a nice intimate mood 200 - Minhyung's Version as it's a more unplugged acoustic vibe. For the second song we'd like to have Mark perform a single that is yet to be announced but will be releasing December 16th. It's called Fraktsiya. It's a hip hop song with a heavy 808 base and we think it would be a big draw for him and for the show to have it be the first time anyone hears it officially." Marks manager explains.

You can't help but perk up at the mention of a new song.

So does that mean I'd get to hear it for the first time in rehearsals? Before anyone else does..?

Not the time Y/N you mentally scold yourself for letting your thoughts wander during an important meeting. You shake away your thoughts and pay attention for the rest of the meeting.

"This was a very informative session, we'd like to thank you all so much for the opportunity to have Mark perform on such an iconic show" You hear his manager say as the meeting wraps up.

"It'll be our pleasure to have you here in December. We'll be in touch" The producer says before the call is cut and you're all dismissed

✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎

December 14th, 2024, show day

Here you are, sat in your dressing room, running over your lines preparing for the final rehearsal before tonights live show. Due to his schedule at Jingle Ball yesterday night, Mark wasn't able to the join the rehearsal meaning you'll be seeing him for the first time today when you run through the show.

"Y/N it's time to head out" Matt gets your attention as you quickly get up and head towards him so the two of you can head to set

"Let's go" You say with a smile

"Keep your hormones in check when we get out there"

You slap his shoulder in response "Hey I am a very calm and composed thank you very much. It's not that big of a deal"

"Your tumblr history says otherwise" You freeze while looking at hime with your mouth agape

"MATT GET BACK HERE" You run to catch up to him

As the two of you arrive to set you're done smacking him for seeing your tumblr history and you’ve been able to mostly calm the bright blush that had appeared as you slowly approach the producer.

“Good morning Y/N are you ready to get started?” He asks as you and Matt reach him

“Yup! Let’s get started!”

You begin your final rehearsal with the opening monologue which goes without a hitch and finally the moment you’re waiting for, Mark is going to rehearse his songs

He comes out onto stage looking very casual as he introduces himself and checks his mic. You decide it’s for the best if you stand to the back to watch because you knew yourself. You wouldn’t be able to not ogle him so you may as well do it from the sides instead of in front of everyone…

God he’s so cool

As he rehearses 200, you can’t stop staring. He’s on a stool with a spotlight on him and the guitarist playing next to him and his voice is so melodic and calming. You’re blatantly staring at this point but you don’t care, he’s so charismatic and his aura is mesmerizing, you can’t help but watch intently.

“Thank you…” he says into the mic with a short bow as he finishes with everyone clapping for him. The producers chat with him and the band before they change the set for Weekend Update. You aren’t needed for this segments rehearsal so you head back to get some snacks from your dressing room. You arrive closing the door behind you taking a breathe pulling out your phone as you scroll for about 15 minutes before you get a text from Matt.

You power your phone off and you leave the dressing room. As you close the door and start walking down the hallway you’re met with a something hard that sends you stumbling back

“Oh watch out!”

You grab onto the wall next to you as you feel a gloved hand grab your arms to help stabilize you.

“You okay…?” You look up to see who you ran into and of course… it’s Mark

“Oh! Y-yea… I’m fine sorry. I wasn’t looking where I was going” you mentally slap yourself for stuttering

“No it’s okay, I wasn’t looking either” he sheepishly scratches the back of his neck

You take in his appearance and you see he’s wearing the same outfit as earlier but his hoodie has been replaced with a long leather jacket

“Are you also heading to set?” You calm your inner fan girl and ask

“Yea I am, shall we?” He asks knowing that you’re heading that way too.

You nod as you walk next to him. The two of you having casual conversation. He told you about Jingle Ball yesterday and you told him about the cat you feed sometimes on your block that also happens to be named Mark (you didnt name him, you swear his collar said Mark when you found him)

“Dude there’s no way…”

“I swear. He’s got this old collar on him and I swear it says Mark. I’ll have to show you a picture.” You laugh at his disbelief

The two of you finally arrive to set and go your separate ways so he can get onstage as you find Matt giving you a knowing look.

In response you slap him before turning turn attention towards the stage.

An unfamiliar heat starts playing through the speakers as Mark comes out looking the same as he did when you saw him only now he’s sporting some expensive looking shades and he’s got this intimidating aura around him. He’s not the playful Mark you met in the hallway.

Your mouth fall agape as you watch him rap his new song exuding nothing but utter confidence

Yeah, how many schedules in a day? (Baby, listen)

He’s pulled his glasses down as he tilts his head down looking at the camera above the glasses so he can make eye contact

My airline miles fling honeymoon out of space (I said listen)

He turns his head look towards you as you says the line before redirecting his eyes ahead before adjusting his glass back to cover his eyes properly again

SM got to wait (SM, listen)

Phone is buzzing, uh, SNL shoot with Y/N

I said, wait

You’re frozen in your place as he says your name… did he adjust the lyrics? You know he did but it still made your heart race a little too hard. The fact that the entire song is him bragging about his accomplishments and you have a spot in the lyrics, even if it’s just an adlib for the live show. You have to calm yourself down at the thought

You continue to watch him finish his rehearsal with wide eyes. When he finished the song you clap along with the rest of the crew before continuing on with the rehearsal. You had a couple skits along with Mark who they included in one. He did really well despite the lack of rehearsal time and by the time you all finished you were feeling ready for the live show that night.

✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎

You were sat in your dressing room after getting styled for the top of the show. You’ve got some down time so Matt left you to go probably flirt with one of the cast members he found cute (but wouldn’t admit it) so you’re relaxing in your chair trying to shake the nerves. Your mom flew to New York to watch live tonight so you really wanted to do well for her.

Your thoughts are interrupted by a knock on your door

“Come in” you say as you turn around to see who knocked and to your surprise… your met with the face of Mark Lee

“Oh Mark? I didn’t expect you to come by…” you say with a smile

“Yea… I had some downtime so I figured I’d stop by” he says walking in scratching the back of his neck awkwardly again.

“You look nervous” you laugh lightly

“Nahhhh… well… maybe just a bit” he says “but I think I’ll do fine. I think I’m more worried about how people will perceive the new song rather than whether I’ll do well”

“Hmmm” you hum in understanding “well I do owe you a picture of little Mark” you say pulling out your phone “oh! Feel free to sit down” you usher him over to the couch as you sit next to him

“Look” you show him a picture of a little orange cat that’s a bit chubby

“Awww dude he’s so cute”

“I know right” you pull back the phone and zoom in on the collar “look what I told you… he’s named Mark”

“That’s a crazy coincidence man… I have to meet this Mark sometime.” He laughs out

“Ooooh I don’t know about that. Two Marks within close proximity… the world might implode” you fake a shiver as you lean back on the couch

“Maybe your right” he chuckles at you before also leaning back on the couch

“Now how did you meet this Mark? He’s not a stray is he?”

“No… although that’s what I thought at first but I called the number on his collar and he has a home. He’s just an outdoor cat. He only comes home for food” You say thinking of the cat you’ve begun to love “If he was a stray I would’ve adopted him”

“Yea… maybe I should get a cat and name him Mark”

you chuckled at his response. “Mark and Mark. Sounds like a comic book”

“You know some people think I’m like Spider-Man… a superhero has gotta have a sidekick” He laughs looking at you

“Should I call you spider-mark then? You’ve got your guy in the chair and everything it seems.” You chuckle out

“Just you wait someday I’ll be in the spider-verse movies”

“I’ll look forward to it” you smile “you are missing one thing though”

“What is it?” He raises an eyebrow as he sits up and looks back at you

“Well you need an MJ of course” you say sarcastically as you look at him

He quirks an eyebrow at your statement “oh yea…” he pretends to think “I think I’ve got an MJ though too” he says as he looks at you “so I’m all set by your logic”

Your eyes widen slightly at his statement “oh yea. I guess so” you cast your eyes down for a second and when you look back up Mark is much closer to you

“You look disappointed” he says inching forward

“Why would I be…” you don’t move towards him but… you also don’t move away.

He smirks a little “I don’t know…” he brings up his hand a gently brushed your hair behind your ears as his face is just inches from yours

“I-“ you can respond before you hear Matt knocking on your door

“Y/N it’s time to get backstage” you and Mark immediately break from one another before you stand up and clear your throat

“Ok… I’ll be out in a second” you walk to your vanity grabbing your water and drinking some before turning back to Mark

“I should go…” you say to Mark, who has now risen from his spot on the couch and has begun to approach you

“Yea… you should…”

You look up and meet his gaze before beginning to walk towards the door. You don’t get very far before you feel a hand grab your wrist.

You don’t even have a moment to say anything before you feel a soft peck on your cheek

“Good luck…” he says softly

“Th-thanks…” you stutter out as your cheeks glow bright red.

You hurry out of the room and rush backstage to get ready for the start of the show

✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎

The first half of the show goes by in a blur. All the sketches have been going really well and there has yet to be a problem. Now you're at the part you're most excited about Mark's stage

"Now introducing... Mark Lee" The audience claps as everyone becomes focused on him. He's dressed in black pants with a white button up unbuttoned with a tank top underneath. You listen as he sings 200, completely enamoured by him from your place behind the camera. You've realized you're beginning to fall for this man in the short time you've been able to really meet him and part of you wants to think he feels the same with the way (you think) his eyes shift to you behind the camera every so often. But you refuse to get your hopes up and get your heart broken.

He finishes up the song before heading back to get prepared for the next song as they bring out the Weekend Update set as usual.

You laugh as Colin and Micheal share their usual good jokes along with their bickering enjoying seeing the iconic pair in their element with your real eyes. Before you know it you're introducing Mark for his second song.

You take your place behind the camera once again as you take in his new appearance. His shirt now neatly buttoned with a tie around his neck. His thick sunglasses and his black leather clothes with his hair slicked back topping the look off made your jaw drop. He looked HOT

You watch the audience excited for their reactions to his new song and you could tell everyone loved it. You were so into the atmosphere that you almost forgot to pay attention to the stage and before you knew it, everyone was clapping and cheering for him.

✈︎✈︎✈︎✈︎

The show ends successfully as you say your goodbyes to everyone onstage before heading back to your dressing room to change into your regular clothes. As you've finished changing, you're collecting your things when you hear a knock on the door. You don't even get the chance to say come in before you see it open and Mark steps into the room.

"Sorry... I-" he sighs clearly a little unprepared

"You okay Mark?" You begin to step closer to him

"Yea yea.. I just thought you had left... someone said they saw your manager leave so I wanted to come check" He says a bit nervously

"Well I'm still here... so what do you need?' You look up at him but he's clearly avoiding your eyes.

"Well, I have to go back to Korea tomorrow... but I was wondering if... I could get your number." He says as he raises his gaze to meet yours

You softly smile at his request before you nod "give me your phone"

The two of you exchange numbers before you fall into some lighthearted conversation again. He's so easy to talk to. He laughs at your jokes and he matches your energy perfectly. He's just easy to be around.

You grab the rest of your belongings while you chat and once you're ready to go he walks you out to your car.

"This is it huh...?" He asks you hesitantly

"Well it cant be. You haven't met little Mark yet" You smile back at him. "Now you have a reason to come back to New York"

"Make that two..." He says softly

"Huh? What's the second-" You barely finish your sentence before you feel his soft lips on yours. After a moment of hesitation, you wrap your arms around his neck as his go to your waist as you reciprocate the kiss. It felt sweet, soft, careful, like he's testing the waters, but almost desparate, as he knows it'll be a while before you see each other again.

The two of you pull away "I'll see you soon... spidey..." you say softly with a smile on your face. You quickly peck his cheek before running into your car. You don't look at him out of shyness as you drive off with a bright smile on your face and 200 - Minhyung's Version blasting through the speakers of your car.

This took me way too long to write to I hope you all enjoyed this. Also yes I made up the SNL skit but it was FOR THE PLOT I’m not too proud of that part

How it works: We welcome anyone who loves Luke and Vader fanfic. You do not have to have written fanfiction before, and it can be whatever canon you prefer. You can be any age to join, but if you wish to receive mature content (which in Luke and Vader fanfic usually means violence or really dark themes) you will need to indicate that you are 18+ or understand that you are okay with receiving mature-themed content.

Fill out the Google Form and give as much detail as you’d like. The more detail we have, the better we can match you with someone who jives with your fanfic tastes.

About two weeks before the deadline we will create the collection in AO3. Sign up, and submit before the deadline. On the 5th January, the collection will leave mystery mode and reveal the anonymous fics inside (they will still be anonymous until the 10th January).

If for any reason you need to drop out, please contact us ASAP so that we can accommodate your giftee and make sure they get a fic.

hi! for post-fest submissions, how do multi-chapter fics work? would we need to notify the mod team just once, or for every subsequent chapter? thanks!

Hello!

You just need to notify us for the first chapter! The next are completely free. We usually do get email notifications when you post your work to the collection, but after the fest we tend to check it less while we are still active here and of course on discord. So it's just a matter of not having you wait too much to get approved in the collection.

Hope we replied to your questions 🫶🏻 thank you again for participating in our fest and we await your submission with excitement 😊

[mittensmorgul]

I'm Sorry, You can subscribe to yourself????? on AO3????

You mean to tell me that I've spent like 2 years of posting fic angsting about when the subscriber email goes out and I could have been subed to myself this whole time?????

Thank you for this knowledge!! i was def never going to discover it otherwise

Also I hope you’re having a fantastic day!!! 💜🩵💜🩵

omg yes! you can subscribe to yourself! I did this for those exact reasons, years ago when I first posted something. I wondered what other people would see, how long it would take for them to get notified (a not-small part of me was worried they were getting repeated emails when i uploaded and posted a multi-chaptered fic all at once, even though I KNEW from being subscribed to other people for a while by then that it was not something that happened, but I was paranoid that i would somehow be the nitwit who did something wrong enough to cause havoc with the notification system... i was not that nitwit, at least lol)

you have a fantastic day too!

How I Won The Lottery...... Or Maybe Not

Protect yourself from scams promising you lottery winnings although you have never bought a ticket. Try not to get found out in these scams and forever be suspicious .

I must be the most fortunate individual on the planet. In the beyond three days I figured out I won 1.5 Million Euros in the UK lottery, 1,000,000 Euros in the Winx Worldwide Lottery, 1.5 Million Euros in the 2007 Email Lottery, and 500,000 Pounds in an email lottery held by the Coca Cola Organization. Amazing! How did I get every one of these riches? The miserable truth is there are really individuals who succumb to these plans. For the promise of a speedy buck (or million Euros by and large) individuals will turn over their ledger numbers, wire money in the hopes of getting more back, or give other information that could prompt wholesale fraud. These lottery and sweepstakes plans have continued well before the web, with one of the most established being the phony sweepstakes which required an extra charge to claim your award, which added up to more than the "prize" was worth. Another variety of that plan was requiring the potential "winner" to call a specific number to see whether the person in question was a winner.

The phone refer to cost the potential as "winner" a specific sum each moment with an unusually-significant delay on hold. The genuine winner was the scamming organization which brought in money off the phone calls. Today's criminals have a wide choice of scam-conveyance systems, remembering for individual, the mail, phone and web. However, similar holds genuine regardless of how the scam is conveyed: if it sounds unrealistic, it is.

How Could You at any point Perceive the Lottery or Sweepstakes Scam? There are unquestionably genuine lotteries and sweepstakes offers. Who hasn't purchased a state or multi-state lottery ticket from their neighborhood lottery retailer? Or, who hasn't seen one of those sweepstakes presented by a perceived organization publicizing in the coupon part of the Sunday paper? You finish up the passage form or sensible copy (usually a 3"x5" card) with your name and address and send it off. Therein is your greatest sign concerning whether you're the casualty of a scam.

In a genuine lottery or sweepstakes you have purchased the ticket or entered your name and address. In a scam lottery or sweepstakes you are notified you've won when you haven't even entered or purchased a ticket. In expansion, it's against the law to use the mail or telephone to play lotteries across borders, whether public or state lines. Any lottery offer including the acquisition of lottery tickets for other state or country lotteries could wind up with you being accused of unlawful activities. One ploy used by foreign scammers including lotteries or sweepstakes is offering you an "advance" on your winnings.

You may not plan to collaborate with a Writer in advance.

All content must be new and created specifically for the event. Plagiarism is not allowed.

This event is about M/M Renheng and/or Xingyue, so you are only allowed to make content with these two (2) as the main focus. Side ships are allowed and platonic ones are also allowed. Switch dynamics (hengren) or them being paired romantically with other characters is not allowed.

Rules for Artists

We accept all forms of visual art (digital, traditional) except for AI-generated works.

For traditional works, ensure a clear scan or photograph of your artwork is provided.

AI-generated works are strictly prohibited.

Artists may revise their submissions or create additional artworks if desired. However, all submitted pieces must be considered complete. A multi-page comic would be considered a single art piece.

You must be willing to communicate with your assigned author throughout the process, unless otherwise agreed upon. Do not ghost your authors!

Artists will submit a minimum of one artwork. If the event has uneven numbers of Artists and Writers, moderators may allow Artists to submit more than one piece.

Artists will submit their art through a provided form. This process is anonymous, so we ask that you submit your work without your name/social media attached. You may put a generic watermark on your work that does not include your name or other identifying labels. You may put your name on it once we start posting!

When submitting art for claims, please appropriately tag and provide a short description of your work. In addition, the submissions form will ask you to provide a list of Wants/Do Not Wants. Keep in mind that authors are only asked to strictly adhere to “Do Not Wants”. For example: 

Wants: A certain AU, a certain dynamic or ship etc

Do Not Wants: Explicit content, gore, etc

Artists may absolutely create additional artwork for the fic if you choose to do so, but it is not mandatory.

Artists who will draw NSFW are also required to upload their works on Bluesky; this is to minimize the chances of your content getting flagged.

During check-in week, Artists will be asked to provide a work in progress (“WIP”) of their piece. You should at least have one sketch/rough layout by this point. After Check-in 1, moderators may decide to allow Artists to submit multiple pieces if participant numbers are uneven. If this occurs, additional guidance will be provided via announcements in the Discord Server.  

Rules for Writers

All authors must have an Ao3 account, and post their final work to the collection on Ao3.

Authors are required to write a fic of at least 2,000 words based on the artwork they have selected.

For multi-chapter fics, the total word count across all posted chapters must meet the minimum requirement. All fics must be completed by the end of the event. 

AI-generated content is strictly prohibited.

Having a Beta Reader is mandatory for this event to ensure written works are free of basic spelling and grammar errors. Writers can either use an existing Beta Reader or request one from the server!

There is no maximum limit, so feel free to write as much as you'd like. However, all creations must be completed and posted in full during your assigned posting date.

Writers must strictly adhere to restrictions set forth by the Artists (Their “Do Not Wants”). Please do not claim art with restrictions that you cannot uphold. Fics should be related to the artwork in some way and be discussed with the Artist. 

Writers may not deviate drastically from the artwork or agreed upon plot without Artist input/permission. Please work with your Artists when changes are needed. 

While an Artist may want to change aspects of their art to fit your fic or create additional artwork, they are not obligated to do so. 

Fics for the event must be written in English as the primary language. You are more than welcome to translate your fic to another language in addition to English.

Rules for Beta Readers

Please indicate on your sign-up form if you would like to be a Beta Reader! You can sign up for the event exclusively as a Beta Reader if you wish! 

Beta Readers can choose to work with a particular author, or be available for any author. A Discord role and channel will be offered to Beta Readers.

If a Writer wishes to find a Beta Reader from the Discord server, they should post in the designated channel with a brief summary of their fic, its timeline, word count, and any relevant content warnings. Beta Readers can then select which fics they feel comfortable Beta-reading based on the content warnings and summaries provided, and contact the Writer to discuss their availability.

Rules for Pinch Hitters

Please indicate on your sign-up form if you would like to be a pitch hitter (Writer)! After claims, any unclaimed artwork will be reassigned; first come, first served!

Pinch Hitters will follow the same rules as the Writer role, so please consider that artwork in need of a pinch hit may portray characters, ships, or scenarios that you may not be able to write for. Pinch Hitters will NOT be forced to work with anyone, but if you take this role, please keep an open mind. Please also think carefully about whether you are able to potentially write two fics for the event. 

“I’m an Artist, but I also write! Can I sign up to be both?” Artists may sign up for the Pinch Hitter role. But you may NOT sign up to be a Writer as well as an Artist. You also may not write for your own artwork.

A Writer may decide that they can handle creating two fics, and may sign up to be a Pinch Hitter in addition to the Writer Role. 

Pinch Hitters may NOT discuss or reveal what, if any, artwork were unclaimed. This is incredibly inappropriate and makes hard-working Artists feel bad about their artwork.

⏱️ Automatically Stop Jira Sprints: Keep Your Agile Cadence Sharp

In the fast‑paced world of agile delivery, consistency is key. Yet manually closing sprints—especially when managing multiple teams—can be error‑prone and easy to overlook. Missed sprint closures lead to stale boards, inaccurate metrics, frustrated teams… and excuses like “Oops, I forgot.” But it doesn’t have to be this way.

The Problem: Manual Sprint Management = Risk & Overhead

Jira gives you the tools to define start and end dates during sprint creation. But it does not automatically execute them. That means someone has to:

Remember when sprints begin and end across all boards.

Close each sprint in time.

Manually move unfinished issues to the backlog or a new sprint.

Skipping any step can lead to cascading issues:

Velocity distortion if sprint transitions don’t happen cleanly.

Backlog bloat from incomplete issues left hanging.

Work interruptions since teams rely on refreshed sprint scopes.

The Solution: Automation to the Rescue

You have two solid ways to automate sprint closures:

🛠️ 1. Native Jira Automation

Jira’s built‑in automation engine allows you to create a rule such as:

Trigger: Scheduled (e.g., cron at 6 PM daily)

Condition: sprint in openSprints() AND endDate <= now()

Action: “Complete Sprint” + optional notifications

This setup checks for overdue sprints daily and closes any that have passed their end date. You can also chain actions like sending emails or moving unfinished issues automatically reddit.com+15medium.com+15ravisagar.in+15reddit.comatlassian.com.

📦 2. Third‑Party Apps (e.g., SprintRunner for Jira)

For larger organizations needing advanced control, apps like SprintRunner for Jira from Sparxsys Solutions offer:

Schedule-based auto start and stop

Bulk multi‑board operations

Audit logging (who/when)

Smart handling of unfinished issues (backlog, next sprint, new sprint)

Easy configuration directly from board/backlog UI youtube.com+7marketplace.atlassian.com+7medium.com+7medium.com

A direct walkthrough on Medium also explains quick setup with cron expressions. For example:

Admin console → Sprint Runner → “Schedules”

Name: “End Friday Sprints”

Cron: 0 17 * * FRI (5 PM every Friday)

Target: Boards

Action: “Stop Sprint” + notification ≫ done medium.com

🔧 Best Practices for Automatic Sprint Stop

Define expectations – e.g., “Sprints end Fridays at 5 PM IST.” Align team norms before automating.

Add buffer time, if needed — e.g., schedule automation at 6 PM to allow last‑minute wrap‑ups.

Manage issue rollover – Decide ahead: unfinished issues to backlog, next sprint, or brand‑new sprint.

Notify stakeholders – Send Slack/email alerts with sprint reports or links to the newly opened scrum board.

Capture metrics – Use audit logs or post‑close triggers to snapshot velocity, incomplete‑issue count.

Test in staging – Use a demo board to verify behavior before enabling in production.

🧭 Who Should Use Automatic Sprint Stop?

Small and mid‑sized teams scaling agile: lets teams focus on delivery, not chores.

Enterprise organizations with multiple boards — ensures consistency and daily hygiene.

Scaled‑Agile environments (e.g., SAFe or LeSS): disciplined sprint cadence supports planning cycles.

Delivery leads and PMOs who rely on accurate sprint data for forecasting and reporting.

⚠️ Potential Pitfalls & How to Mitigate

Premature sprint closure: Validate cron schedule and board selections before activating.

Stuck issues: Ensure unfinished issues are dynamically handled via rollback or sprint‑to‑sprint logic.

Confusing notifications: Include context like “Sprint 42 closed by automation. 3 issues rolled to backlog.”

Platform compatibility: Confirm your chosen app supports Jira Cloud vs. Data Center.

✅ How to Get Started Today

Define your sprint cadence (length, end time, buffer).

Set up a staging board in Jira to test.

Choose between:

Jira Automation (free, flexible, built‑in), or

SprintRunner for Jira (more powerful scheduling + audit) youtube.com+15marketplace.atlassian.com+15medium.com+15medium.com.

Build and test rules:

Cron trigger for closing

Condition: sprint end date passed

Actions: close sprint, move issues, notify teams

Pilot with one team, monitor logs and notifications.

Roll‑out across boards — keep refining based on feedback.

Audit regularly to ensure compliance and benefit continuity.

✨ Final Words

Automated sprint closure may seem minor, but it reinforces discipline, accuracy, and reliability across your agile lifecycle. Whether you use native Jira Automations or a robust app like SprintRunner, the outcome is the same: clean boards, reliable metrics, and teams free to focus on value delivery—not admin work.

The key? Clarity, testing, and rollout discipline. Define expecting, test in isolation, and scale once proven. In today’s agile world, smart automation like this is how you stop sprints—and start better delivery cycles.

How Delivery Bee Combines Speed and Customization in Food Delivery App Development Solutions

Hi there,

I’ve spent a lot of time working with businesses in the food and restaurant industry—and one thing I’ve learned is this: in food delivery, speed isn’t everything. Customization is just as critical. And honestly, finding a balance between the two is rare. That’s exactly why I chose to work with Delivery Bee.

I wanted a solution that wouldn’t just launch fast but would work my way. Something powerful enough to support multi-restaurant operations and flexible enough to reflect my brand. If you’re on a similar journey, stick with me—I’m about to walk you through how Delivery Bee became the perfect fit for my venture.

Why I Needed More Than Just a Food Delivery App

Starting out, I didn’t want a basic app that just moved food from kitchen to customer. I needed a food delivery app solution that could grow with my business. Something scalable, sleek, and super responsive—because the customers I wanted to serve expect nothing less.

I knew that building a food delivery platform from scratch would cost a fortune and take ages. But I also didn’t want a generic, cookie-cutter app that looked like every other one on the market. That’s when I started looking for a food delivery app development company that offered the best of both worlds: speed and customization.

That’s when I found Delivery Bee.

Why Delivery Bee Was the Right Fit for My Business

The first thing I noticed about Delivery Bee was their focus on on demand food delivery app development. They weren’t offering one-size-fits-all software—they were offering a platform built with the flexibility modern businesses need.

Whether I was running a single restaurant or planning to scale into a multi-restaurant aggregator model, Delivery Bee’s system could flex and adapt to my vision. I didn’t just want to copy existing apps—I wanted to offer a better, more branded experience for my users. And with Delivery Bee, I got exactly that.

Customization: Making the App Truly Mine

Let me tell you, I’ve seen too many apps that feel clunky, outdated, or clearly white-labeled without any personality. What stood out with Delivery Bee was how easily I could make it mine.

Here’s what I got to customize:

App theme & branding: From colors to fonts, logos to layout—everything could be aligned with my brand’s voice.

Restaurant management features: I could define how menus appeared, how order tracking worked, and how restaurant partners could manage their dashboards.

User experience flow: Want to add one-click reorder? Set up custom loyalty points? Integrate wallet options? Done.

Notifications & alerts: SMS, push, email—you name it. I could fully control how and when customers and vendors got notified.

With that level of personalization, I didn’t just launch another food app—I launched my food app.

Speed: Getting to Market Faster Than I Imagined

Even with all the customization, the Delivery Bee team didn’t waste time. In fact, I was shocked at how fast they moved.

Within weeks, I had a fully operational food delivery app development solution up and running—designed, branded, tested, and deployed. I didn’t need a big tech team or months of back and forth.

The reason? Delivery Bee’s core platform is already solid and time-tested. They just tailor it to your specific use case, so you're not reinventing the wheel. It’s like getting a Ferrari body with the flexibility to tweak the engine and interiors to suit your style.

For someone trying to break into the market quickly and efficiently, this kind of speed is priceless.

How It Supports My Day-to-Day Operations

Once I went live, things got real fast. And that’s when I really appreciated the backend power that Delivery Bee’s food delivery application development provided.

The platform helped me with:

Real-time delivery tracking

Smart delivery partner assignment

Customer ratings & feedback integration

Performance dashboards for every restaurant

Promo codes and marketing features built-in

I didn’t have to run around trying to integrate third-party tools or hack together workarounds. Delivery Bee had already thought of everything a modern restaurant needs to thrive online.

A Food Delivery App That Grows With You

What I love most is that I’m not locked into a single business model. Whether I want to run my own food brand, launch a cloud kitchen, or build a multi-restaurant delivery marketplace, Delivery Bee has the tech stack to support it.

It’s like having a food delivery app development company right in your corner—one that gets your needs and actually listens.

Final Thoughts: Why Speed + Customization Matters in 2025

In 2025, customers expect more. More personalization. More speed. More control. As a business owner, you need to deliver all of that without losing your mind or breaking your budget.

That’s why a solution like Delivery Bee is a total game-changer. You get the speed to launch fast and the customization to launch right. And that’s how you build a food delivery brand that stands out—not just another app in the crowd.

If you’re thinking of stepping into this space or upgrading your current food delivery infrastructure, I’d highly recommend exploring what Delivery Bee can do. For me, it wasn’t just a tech partner—it was a launchpad.

Thanks for reading—feel free to reach out if you want to know more about my experience or need help making your decision.
