Title: Rumor Don't Got It
Recipient: ladysaviours
Fandom: Newsies
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 1158
Summary: Katherine Plumber is determined to make everyone at school care about the world, even if it means turning her unorthodox love life into news. It's all for the cause.
Warnings: Nada!
Notes: I'm pretty sure what we all needed was a Newsies OT3 high school AU featuring Katherine Plumber as the editor of the school paper. The title is a play on the Adele song, of course.

Title: Into The Cuckoo’s Nest
Recipient: tumbleweedrose
Fandom: Spring Awakening
Rating: PG13-ish for an instance of frustrated teenager language
Wordcount: 1569
Summary: Summertime in a shifting city. Ilse was never really the pious type.
Warnings: Suggestion of complicated domestic situations, but nothing is explicitly mentioned.
Notes: This was my first go at writing serious fic for something other than personal flights of fancy. It was challenging, stressful, and I definitely made very audible frustrated noises over it, but I’m so proud of the new life I’ve found in these kids and my only hope is that I made some tiny success somewhere in this that shines brighter than its shortcomings.

If you haven't had time before, take a look around! Read, review, enjoy, share with others. This turnout has been fantastic!

Recipient: jubilantics
Fandom: bare: a pop opera
Rating: R
Wordcount: 12,093
Summary: Peter Simmonds and Nadia McConnell own a little private detective agency in New York City. In walks Jason McConnell in pursuit of a missing fiance... or so it seems. How many secrets can one man conceal?
Warnings: Sex, booze, drugs, smoking, the usual.
Notes: Thank you to F, who jokingly tossed out the idea of a noir AU and then let me run away with it. Thank you also to the people who looked this over for me. I'm no great noir expert, but I do love music of the time period and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Title: a little less thinking, a little more feeling
Recipient: Hannah W
Fandom: Sunday in the Park with George
Rating: PG
Wordcount: ~1182
Summary: Art isn’t easy, especially when you think too much, or you think too little, or you can’t stop thinking about what others think about your art.
Notes: There’s a lot of "exploring between lines" in this, so it might be useful to listen to "Children and Art" and "Lesson #8" and "Move On" as you read :)

Title: Scrapbook
Recipient: andthelight
Fandom: Spring Awakening
Rating: G
Summary: look at this thing I drew
Notes: Maybe Wendla or Anna's family is rich enough that they think it's perfectly reasonable to get a professional photo taken of two friends. Or maybe this is an AU where people did this all the time. You don't know.

Title: It’s Beating Out of Time
Recipient: streakingly
Fandom: American Idiot
Rating: Teen
Wordcount: 5100
Summary: American Idiot soul-mate!AU. Includes Johnny/Whatersername, Will/Heather, and Tunny/Extraordinary Girl. Some backstory and then follows the events of the show.
Warnings: Language and Drug Use
Notes: You wanted American Idiot, so here is some American Idiot!
I saw this post on tumblr (http://psyducked.tumblr.com/post/53240946980) and thought to myself “That would make a great AU idea!” So that became my starting point. There’s some explanation within the fic itself, but the idea is that everybody has this charm, unique to them, that can identify your “soul-mate,” somebody who is an ideal romantic match for you. I don’t do much in the way of description but just imagine them as little puzzle-piece looking things. When you find your soul-mate’s piece, they fit together (a la connecting puzzle pieces) and start glowing, and if you’re really well matched, it starts sparking. (It’s a little cracky, I know, but let’s roll with it.) The pieces are exchanged between soul-mates, usually when they get married, so you wear your soul-mate’s piece and they wear yours. The kind of counter-culture movement is against this system that seems to plan your life out for you. You can’t “pick” your soul-mate, your charm does it for you.
I’ve seen the Berkley Rep recording on youtube a few times, read the Wikipedia, and of course I know the soundtrack up-and-down. I don’t know what you’re familiar with, maybe you saw the Broadway show or a tour or something, so the disclaimer on canon things is that deviations are either for story purposes or unintentional. There are both obvious and not-so obvious nods to the canon I am familiar with. The story is largely the same, just re-imagined within this AU.
Beta’d by the always wonderful Hannah (veinsfullofpoeticalstuff.tumblr.com), any remaining issues are mine and mine alone.
