At long last, it's finally time. Welcome to:

PK's Redacted Fic Final!

Because of the contents of some of the fics/discussions in the segment, I am asking minors to not interact. If anyone is interested in the SFW/non 18+ fics I was sent, feel free to shoot me an ask or something. Otherwise, for the respect (and safety) of the authors I included, skip this post. Now then, let's get into it (under the cut /lh).

Summary/Overview: In total, I received 49 fics for this final (absolutely wild! /pos) and ended up including 8 of them as part of the final product. Said final product is a fake radio segment with a speaker created for the sake of discussing these fics in a fun way. The audio form of the segment will be attached on this post along with a downloadable version of the transcript (Note: I will also be reblogging with a text version of the transcript very soon).

With that out of the way, I'd like to take a moment and personally tag/shoutout the writers who's fics I included directly. In order of their appearance in my final, we've got:

Stress Relief by K9rage [Gavin/Damien] // @calicostorms

Mutually Beneficial by FriendlyFaded [Imp!Darlin/Vega] // @friendlyfaded

Pack Bonding by Bratty_Telepath [Darlin/Milo] + [Asher/Darlin/Milo/David] // @bratty-telepath

"this chain will never end (but i'll fucking try)." by zozo_01 [Damien/Huxley] // @zozo-01

not a day goes by (that I'm not into you) by Autisticempathydaemon [DAMN Polycule] // @autisticempathydaemon

Practice Makes Perfect by domini_moonbeam [Asher/David] (primarily) // @dominimoonbeam

Spark and Bite: A Demon-Vamp Crossover Special by AngelicAether [Freelancer/Gavin/Lovely/Vincent] // @angelicaether

he's the fire in the sin (and i burn breathing him in) by dogboynextdoor [Gavin/FL] // @redactedgender

I managed to get through 30 of the 49 submitted before finalizing things for submission, but! I still plan on reading through the remaining submissions and scoring them on their cards/sheets (which I will make a second post about soon).

As previously mentioned, the focus on my project was dissecting the portrayal of queer masculinity as it appears in fanfiction. Majority of the final is me gushing over the fics with commentary woven in between, so I hope it's enjoyable for anyone who chooses to read and/or listen to it. Once again, thank you so so so much to anyone who submitted a fic, wrote any of the fics, or has supported me throughout the creation process at any point. You are amazing.

(Also apparently the audio file itself is too big </3 so linking it instead /lh):

complaining about someone not writing x make reader yet i don’t see not a single x male reader reblog or fic on YOUR blog. there’s plenty of people who write for x male reader. instead of harrasing someone who writes their ass of every single day making sure everyone’s requests are fulfilled, go shower the people who predominantly write for male readers some love.

I wrote a whole fic and posted it n u still mad about that??(don't go look for it it's not here, i can tag if you remove the block 😉)

The fandom and characters i write and rebloge writing for are specifically gender-natural from their creator,you can check for yourself on youtube by looking for Redacted audio, hence the lack of either gender in my writings

On the contrary me and @/angel-shaw do like to write about "CB and jethro " which means "city boy" whose whole serie is about a cowboy and a cityboy (with an FtM son) falling in love despite the homophobia and transphobia they get, check the serie on youtube, it's called ranch romance:) you can our threads here too

We Also love theading about our listener character "darlin" who we both view as amab

@/friendlyfaded and @/mr-laveau AKA @/bratty-telepath some of my favorite writer who do write alot of MxM, content you should really check em out, here or on ao3!

I've got more if you want, my asks are always open:)

I never said you don't work hard dear! I'm sure you do, daily posting 5-7 drabbles is not easy thing, and i'm not saying you must write male reader either, i said ignoring the specified gender (male or any indication of it) and dismissing it for gender natural is not ok

[morgansplace]

@friendlyfaded is this. you?

i don’t make the rules AT ALL, but if you mostly spend time in Gay People Spaces then you know about 28 ppl who look like this

Their eyes adjusted quickly to the dark as they always did, and within moments they could see the subtle path laid out before them nigh as clearly as they would have in the daylight. Very similar to the pain they'd been dealing with since they left that inn—as strongly as a tankard of Devil's Blood affected every newly come-of-age individual they'd ever seen in almost every tavern they've occupied. The Bounty Hunter scowled at the name of the drink, and they felt something catch on the strings of their heart as a memory suddenly washed up on the shores of their mind.

Flashes of old images—a mop of hickory locks bouncing as a young man tosses back a pint, accompanied by a tall ginger and an even taller noirette who stayed as support when the first had inevitably doubled over with regret.

The scene caused a hitch in the hunter's breath and a stutter in their steps, the corner of their lips twitching downward before they shook away the feeling. They weren't allowed to feel like that. They were the one who always stuck to the outside and not once had they ever made an advance toward inner links, therefore they had no right missing people they never truly knew. But, they did know them—

No, you didn't.

Their own voice echoed inside, the sharp blade of regret distracting them momentarily from the physical pain that was straining in their thigh as it slashed them across the chest and the back of their head.

You're an observer—you know how they behave, not who they are. And yet..,

You always were prepared to lay down your own life for them.

The Bounty Hunter froze, their blood cold as ice even when their skin seemed to turn falling raindrops into steam the second they made contact. A snarl tugged at their lips; they wanted to close their eyes, to take a minute and calm themself and yet their instinct refused to permit such an action of vulnerability. Despite the obvious fact that they were miles away from Canis—from him—their gaze still surveyed their surroundings in search of the wretched owner of that vile and conceited abandoned hog's trough. One filled to the very brim with organic fertilizer.

Just as they felt deep down, he was nowhere to be seen. Then again, he was only ever seen when he so desired to be.

They had to force themself to shake away that feeling of dread that always lingered deep in their gut; always simmering, ready to boil over and spill into their bloodstream at a moment's notice. Once the chill had come and gone, they breathed in deep, filling their lungs with the savory air of the surrounding woods until they could hold no more. Slow and controlled, The Bounty Hunter let it all slide out through their lips and carried on with their trek. The atmosphere tonight wasn't unbearable, but it wasn't exactly all that comfortable either—they had to dawn a heavier coat even that morning, and in the back of their mind, they'd missed how mundane the weather always seemed to be back in Canis.

The hunter was guided from their thoughts once more by the sounds of the stream that babbled nearby, gentle and tranquil in the midst of the night. The scent was refreshing, not unlike the whisper of rain that swirled in the cool, dewy breeze and nipped at their sensitive nose. Comfort, was all their mind focused on now, the panic that had yanked their core in so many different directions only minutes before gradually became nothing but a memory.

The rest is over on ao3! Sorry for the cutoff here, it's being weird^^;

Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going, I'll go first.

My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done
