🔪 for the ask game!

what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

I wouldn't say this is super weird, but I couldn't think of any others so when compared to nothing I guess it's the weirdest: fan language. The language of fans from the Victorian era, which apparently didn't actually exist and was just made up for marketing in that time period. So I guess it was research into a fake topic...my answer feels less and less satisfactory lmao

But honestly, my fics are usually heavily character focused so if I've watched/read the material enough times then that's what the research portion of the work was >.<;

doodles for fics by @cleflink!! I enjoyed reading them a lot ^^

[itssagaruu]

Heyya! hope this gift finds you well, @cleflink💕

Hey hey! New BTTF fan here! I've been obsessed with the franchise for a bit now and I've done everything from reading the comics to watching the telltale game and reading fanfics and reading your blog (you have no idea how much your blog satisfies my cravings for new content) and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for fanfictions and fanartists :D

Hello! Welcome! I love the Telltale game so much. It's great that there are so many extensions of the movies for us to sink our teeth into. And I'm happy you're enjoying my blog :)

I'm not super familiar with fanartists in the fandom, but here are a handful of some great fics.

• "It Can Be Cruel Sometimes" by Anakin_McFly : A short little fic dealing with Marty's existential crisis post trilogy events. Ends on a sweet note.

• "Time to Time" by kathkin (aka @penny-anna): This one is just. It's incredible, okay? I return to this one over and over just to experience how beautiful it is.

• "A Bubble, Bursting" also by kathkin : After years missing, Marty returns home not any older and with a ridiculous explanation as to where he's been. Love the complexity of this one and the heavy inclusion of Linda!

• "No Little Plans" by cleflink : I think this was one of the first BTTF fics I came across when I got back into the fandom. Doc and Marty go on a trip to the World's Fair and, as usual for them, things go terribly wrong. But this is a lovely fic with some great Doc and Marty friendship moments. Einie is there too!

• "Now I Am Become Death" by @bg-sparrow : A great fic about Doc's involvement in The Manhattan Project. Really well done.

• The "Time Circuits Series" also by BGSparrow is also fantastic.

• "Time is a Flat Circle" by ThePhenomenalStingray (aka @fourth-dimensional-thinker) : Truly one of the most unique and well executed concepts I've come across in the fandom. It's so good.

• "'Cause I Might Not Make It Back" by @rose-of-pollux : A rival scientist is after the secrets of time travel, and Marty gets himself stuck in the middle of it all—with amnesia, no less. So on brand for him. I loved this fic.

• "The Impossible and the Improbable" by @rose-of-pollux : This is a short but fun one that brings Marty and Doc face to face with the supernatural. I'm a sucker for anything that integrates Marty's Irish background into the story, and I love the idea that he grew up hearing Irish folklore.

• "Until I Get Home" by @daryfromthefuture : This one is an epic 30 chapters long, so great if you're looking for a fic really savor. I love stuck in 1885 fics, and I think Dary wins the award for most time poured into a fic about it. Angst, friendship, and our boys trapped in the Old West. Lots to enjoy in this one.

Whew! That was more than a handful, wasn't it? It was so hard to pick these because a lot of these authors have written countless other ones I've enjoyed, but I'll let you explore their works for yourself! I didn't include any of my own fics on here (is it weird to put your own fics in a rec list??) but if you've been through my blog, you've probably read some!

Thanks for the ask, and happy reading!

Here it is~ I can finally upload my art piece(s) for this year's @kaishinbigbang

It was such a nice and joyful experience working with @cleflink as my wonderful partner for this AU project! Please check Clef's amazing companion fic out and give them some love!! ♥

Artworks under the cut, I hope you like it~

[detectivefable]

It's fanart preview posting time for the @dcmkgenbigbang2023!

Click here to read @cleflink's wonderful story The Snowy Mountain Bus Crash Case (and to see more fanart)! The story a fun snowy case with Conan & Kaito shenanigans, exciting action with Ran kicking butt, and criminals who would have gotten away with it if it weren't for some meddling kids! 😉 I enjoyed being a part of and contributing to this project!

[autumn-foxfire]

can you rec your fave kaishin fics before they disappear 😭 i haven’t had the chance to look bc i’m new and been trying to keep up. my luck!!

I know a few authors who won't delete but for some authors I'm not sure.

Cleflink and speckled_dragon have created some of my favourite works. Alaena_F_Dragonstar has some great long fics too. Definitely check out BuggyHuman and NobodyInParticular123456. A study in scarlette is a fic that everyone recommends too.

Hopefully most people don't delete fics and just decide that they don't care.

[justalitlecreacher]

Hi! I just watched the first two Back to the Future movies this week, and you were the first person I thought of. Do you have any fic recs you're willing to share? 👀

Do I?!?

Yes, yes I do

Harborage by Knickynoo:

“Harborage: shelter; refuge

Marty spends the weekend with the Browns, who have settled permanently in early 1986. While there, he's forced to deal with the impact of his travels through time.”

This one is my all time favorite, it delves into the impact the events of the trilogy have on Marty and his mental wellbeing more than any other fic I’ve seen and it’s really well written also

Under the Mat by Knickynoo

“Under the welcome mat is the first place people look, but a series of events leave Doc and Marty with little other choice. AKA: how I imagine the "key under the mat" thing came to be.”

I…didn’t realize this one was also by Knickynoo. This fic is very funny and again very well written

Peace by dapperdragon

“If Marty thought it was hard to go darting about through time, then it's twice as hard to come home from it. He needs to talk to someone about all that's happened and how to adjust to this brand-new life.”

Marty talks to George about time travel! I really enjoy the characterization of George in this one

Inevitable by nbfutureboy

“It's a bizarre twist of fate. When they’d found out they’d been expecting twin boys, Jennifer had suggested, sensible and sweet, that they pick out two new names. No comparisons to the kids of the first 2015 - they could be their own people, without having to compete with a future memory.

[Oneshot. Marty and Marlene fic.]”

(Transfem Marlene Mcfly fic!) Im obsessed with the way this fic is written to not use a name or pronouns for Marlene until she comes out

Time to time by Katelin

““Will you shut your damn mouth and listen to me?” his other self hisses.

He gulps in a breath, and breathes out; then, resolved, he does his best to shake his head. “No,” he says. “Whatever you have to say, I won’t hear it – having any knowledge of my relative future could –”

His other self claps a hand, hard, over his mouth. His palm is damp. Clammy. Emmett makes a protesting sound against it but before he can wriggle free, the other him speaks.

“Marty dies.”

A cloud passes over the sun.

The Brown family are on vacation, taking a break from the stresses of 1986. It's a beautiful summer day. What could possibly go wrong?”

This one is also one of my favorites!!! I really love the characterization of Doc in this one

No little plans cleflink

“In which Doc plans a road trip, Marty finds himself in mortal peril, and they'd both be completely doomed without Einstein there to keep things running smoothly.”

This one is just plain fun and I love it for that, it’s also one of few fics I’ve seen that heavily features Einstein

Do something by squonkfan

“A personal loss leads Marty and Doc to reshape their perspectives of one another.”

Light trigger warning for animal death; this one is a lot more somber than the rest of the list but I had to include it for the amazing writing and characterizations of both Doc and Marty

I could go on but I don’t think anyone wants me to list out every single BttF fic I’ve ever read

A preview of my piece for @kaishinbigbang~

Please do look forward to the full art piece and the amazing fic written by my partner @cleflink!

[kuroartsdotcom]

Here it is! Finally! my third (fourth??) year of joining @kaishinbigbang 

Link to fic: Stained Glass Soul

I worked with the total bro and amazing talent @cleflink​ this year and i had an great time. i won’t spoil too much but we decided to work with a theme of dissonance in identity with our AR-outfitted cyberpunk future setting. Get ready for internal angst, robots (not just Kaito this time) and taking down the government for fun!

The original concept started off being called Kintsugi and this was my prompt piece: 

can you tell this is a heavy-handed trans metaphor now

[bakathief]

@cleflink

"Why are there so many female archers in fiction?"

Please forgive the clickbait-y title! This is a super complex and interesting topic that I barely scratch the surface of here, but I hopefully will be able to do more justice to things like this in the future!

Also, it's not the point of the video, but I had fun with the outfits in this- do you have any faves?

As always, please consider supporting me on Patreon if you can, or watching on youtube if not!

Hi! I have a Tumblr account, but I don't really post on it. Can I still participate in this event, or am I sort of missing the point of the exchange? Thanks!

Hi there ! You can join the event with any existing tumblr account, no matter if it’s an active account or not as long as you’re able to be active on it during the event (answer the messages you receive & react to your gift) and post your final present on your tumblr !
