#THANKS FOR THAT FF.NET >:(

[sibillascribbles08]

Hey, are you a fan of The Book of Life?

The year is 2024, which means on Oct. 12th, The Book of Life is going to turn 10 years old !

I don't know about the rest of you, but this film was pretty formative for me and I have so many fond memories of not only it but all the fanworks that came from it.

So I'd like to do at least something for the ten year anniversary. So I'm doing a call for fans of all sorts to come together and create stuff for a big ol' anniversary party.

"So like a zine?" Not exactly. If people want to set up a zine I'd encourage it, but I personally don't have experience doing so. And on top of that I don't want to just limit things to digital drawings and fic. Think of it a bit more like a big bang!

I want to see gif sets. I want to see essays. I want to see song covers. I want to see paintings. Little sculptures. Literally ANYTHING people want to create to celebrate. And more than any of that I'd love to see us artists come together and collaborate.

This project isn't anything specific, my goal is simply to bring the fans together for a big celebration.

For this purpose I HAVE set up a discord ! I'll leave a link here, but if it's not working for whatever reason just shoot me a DM and I'll get a fresh link!

Discord

A few things to emphasize.

This is a LOW STAKES LOW STRESS project. Obviously if someone sets up a zine there will be deadlines, but otherwise I want people to just make whatever they're happy with. If you end up unable to create anything don't beat yourself up about it. (But I am making this post now so people have time to get ready)

While I want fics to be part of the celebration, be mindful about including them in anything we may want Jorge to see as he has stated outright he doesn't read fanfics of his works (in case of making sequels and the like)

I also won't discourage NSFW works, just be mindful of where we're putting them.

And again again again you don't have to be an artist/writer for this. Make giftsets. Make essays. Make song covers. Make memes. LITERALLY anything. If you want to participate in any aspect I'd love to see you.

That's it for now. I may add more to this post as questions are asked or things shift. Sharing this is appreciated! I want the fans (past and present) to see it!

Thanks !

do you have any fucked up fics (feyd related or not 🤭) you’ve enjoyed recently? you’re a great author so i trust your taste in other great authors 🤩

okay soooo of course I have to shout out @inkwingsinc's fic, bit my gun with my black-gold gums (which, if you haven't read yet, just call off work now because you WILL LOSE SLEEP reading this divine fic!!!). it is genuinely one of the best writing i've ever read, and the plot/characters/story are so unique and carefully thought through. it's like, god-tier. ink is a treasure, and we are blessed to have this absolute GIFT !

the first feyd x reader fic I read was @peggyao3's fic, preyd, which i still go back and re-read because it just hits. Every. Time. Peggy also has so many more Feyd fics that leave me drooling, and I force myself not to read them all because I *will* devour them all too quickly.

@luminnara also has a great collection of feyd fics, including my personal fave, gladiator!

i also really really enjoyed @sansaorgana's thrown to the wolves fic!!!

if you want something else in the dune-universe, i HIGHLY recommend fleshed in the wife by @thefudge. it's paul x irulan and is INCREDIBLE.

(idk if all of them will be the level of "fucked up" you're hoping, but considering they are all feyd fics, well.... they're all naturally a tad fucked up. i just know that there are a lot of fics out there that I've enjoyed that I'm blanking on. if I've comment on their fic, chances are I enjoyed it and I just have terrible memory.)

tbh i really try not to read a whole lot of feyd fics, especially right now, because i don't want to worm its way into my own ideas/writing, so those are the main ones I've enjoyed!!!

also, if you want fic recs outside of that, trust that I read a lot of...ahem. Weird shit? basically anything in my bookmarks on AO3 are what I consider to be the crème de la crème, particularly this venom x reader fic collection by @snarky-badger or this pennywise x reader fic (yes, really.) i re-read both at least once a year. (currently, i mostly read trad/indie books more than fic, so if you or anyone else wants any recs, let me know that too!)

To all Ninjago fans, specifically AO3 writers...

Thank you. Thank you for all you've done in appreciation of Ninjago. No matter how many kudos your fic got, no matter when you wrote it and whether or not you even like Ninjago anymore.

I'm a fifteen year old girl. It shouldn't be surprising that none of the people in my life off the screen share the same interest with me: A Lego show aimed at 7 year olds. But when I go online, I see many people just like me, who also happen to like this cartoon. What shocks me the most is that there are so many other cartoons aimed at the same age range as Ninjago, and while they're more popular among kids they have little to no fan content online. So naturally, I was very shocked when I discovered that there were over 10,000 fan fictions on AO3 for Ninjago. And it wasn't always like this either.

This was the Ninjago fandom on AO3 in December 2012 (both were written by the same person):

December 2014 (multiplied by 19 but not very impressive considering the initial number of fanfics):

January 2017 (multipled by 4 but difference is much larger):

January 2018 (almost tripled, but the difference is getting better):

April 2019 (doubled in about a year, also finally reached 1k at some point before this):

January 2021 (doubled in two years):

May 2022 (doubled in less than two years):

And this is us now (we just keep doubling!!!):

We're growing exponentially, and I love that. It took 8 years to reach 1k fics but only about 5 more to gain 10k. I joined AO3 in December 2023 which was a month or two before the fandom reached 10k fics. So it's gained over 2,622 this year. Not bad at all!

Not to mention fanfiction.net, where a lot of exclusive Ninjago fanfictions are posted! It's the 26th most popular cartoon there:

Again, not bad considering ff.net is a dead site!!!

Keep watching Ninjago, and don't let anyone judge you! Stay cool!

Unfinished Letters, my in-progress Piccolo/OC fic, is now officially getting moved to AO3 from FanFiction.net. Only chapter 1 is up right now, as I'm editing each chapter as I go.

Once I'm finished editing and uploading these older chapters, I'll start posting new ones (7 years after the fact, shh). I've got one chapter ready in the wings, with another partially completed.

This fic has always been a labor of love, and I'm excited to be breathing new life into it.

Valicer Multiamory Month, Day Eleven: Home (Multiplayer Wonderland AU)

The inexorable march of Multiamory March (har har) (by @polyamships) continues onward today -- this time with another one of the alternative prompts subbed in for the regular one! Because I couldn't really think of anything I wanted to do with the given Day 11 prompt, "pining" --

But when I took another look at the alternative prompts, my brain immediately latched onto "home" and went "what about a story about the Multiplayer Wonderland group exploring their newly-built house together?" :D And so here we are, with the fivesome of Alice, Smiler, Victor, Victoria, and Emily doing just that. Shout-out to Chapter 5 of PlayerPiano's "Love Stories" Corpse Bride fanfic for what I'm sure was the subconscious inspiration for this idea! Hope you all enjoy!

--

“So – what do you think?”

“It’s wonderful,” Alice said, running her fingers along the ivy pattern in the parlor wallpaper. “I know we all had a hand in designing the place, but – there’s seeing your house on paper, and then seeing it in real life.”

“I know,” Smiler agreed, patting a plush couch. “This is amazing.” They glanced over at Victor with a little smirk. “Dare I ask how much it cost?”

“No more than my parents could afford,” Victor replied, smirking back. “Trust me, they barely felt us dipping into their wallet. In fact, Mother hinted that she could have done with us spending more.”

“Really? This place is already pretty damn big.”

“You’ve seen my family’s mansion – Mother wanted us to go even bigger.” He rolled his eyes. “Probably hoping to show off just how much canned fish could buy to the Everglots.”

“To be fair, it buys a lot – certainly more than we could, before my marriage to you,” Victoria remarked, looking around. “Though, actually, I’m pretty sure my mother is also pleased we live somewhere so big as well. Perhaps it softens the blow of me taking such a step down in status.”

“Well, bully for them,” Alice said, folding her arms. “If it stops them giving us grief about Smiler, Emily, and myself living with you, I’m all for them thinking you’re into conspicuous consumption.”

“Perhaps they just think we’ll be better hidden away from society in all these rooms,” Emily joked, bouncing in place. “Oh, but it is so nice for all of us to have a bit of space to ourselves! I really didn’t expect you to actually give me a room just for dancing!”

“We know how much you love it,” Victoria said, smiling as she looped her arm through Emily’s. “And if I got a room for sewing, and Victor for his piano, and Alice for her drawing, and Smiler for their chemistry…”

“Which, I love how you put that up in the turret,” Smiler said, grinning. “Makes me feel like a wizard in a tower.”

“Which is ironic, given that was always Victor’s favorite game to play back when we were small,” Alice chuckled. “But yes, it really is lovely to have a space that’s all mine. And a house that’s all – ours.” She blinked some sudden wetness out of her eyes, then laughed. “Certainly blows my initial sketches out of the water.”

“To be fair, Alice, you drew those when we were eight,” Smiler reminded her, ruffling her hair. “And when there was only three of us to worry about.”

“And it was still a very nice house,” Victor agreed. “Though...I wouldn’t be opposed to this one making its way into Wonderland now.”

Alice grinned as the vines on the wall sprouted rainbow-colored flowers. “I’ll see what I can do.”

prompt #32: make that scene make sense in the episode

Blindfold

“Agh,” Maya hisses, pulling away quickly with her eyes shut tight.

Three times now, Carina’s tried to lean in for an innocent kiss and three times now, there’s been a box of pastries or a Liam or a fucking breeze that’s gotten in the way.

Three fucking times since she’s gotten home.

And it really just makes Maya want to scream.

“I’m sorry, bambina,” Carina whispers, stepping away, “What can I do?”

Detach my boobs, Maya wants to say, Take all these hormones out of my body.

Rip my fucking clothes off.

She opens her eyes instead, willing herself not to cry with frustration. There’ve been enough tears for today.

Enough tears for a lifetime.

“My entire body feels like it’s on fire,” she confesses, sucking in a wavering breath.

Carina nods, understanding.

Always so understanding.

“It will be worth it tomorrow,” she promises, inching closer without touching, “And then you will start to feel better.”

“Because it’ll be your turn to feel crappy.”

Carina shrugs, unperturbed. “We’re making a baby.”

The tears start to pool in Maya’s eyes again, betraying her. “I wish this was more romantic,” she whispers, slipping her fingers between Carina’s.

“This isn’t romantic?” Carina smirks, her eyebrow quirking. “I find it very romantic that your nipples are exploding.”

Despite herself, Maya laughs. “Shut up.”

“We could make it more romantic,” Carina suggests, waving the baby monitor in her left hand like it’s a prize they’ve won: Liam sound asleep in his crib. “Hop up on the counter.”

Maya frowns, confused.

“If you are higher,” Carina explains, pushing at Maya’s hips to ease her backwards, “I can kiss you without touching your exploding nipples.”

“You’re going to make me regret using that analogy, aren’t you?” Maya mutters, hopping up onto the thin bit of counter not already dedicated to sink space or the toaster or drying dishes.

God, they really need to renovate.

She tries not to wince as her body settles again, leaning against the cabinet doors.

Carina grins, backing away with a glint in her eye. “Un secondo,” she promises, holding up a finger as she disappears into the dining room.  

“I thought you were going to kiss me,” Maya calls after her, spreading her legs in a hopeful invitation.

“I am,” Carina teases as she reappears in the doorway, sliding a strip of fabric between her fingers. “Your body is on fire, no?” she asks as she saunters closer.

Maya swallows roughly, watching.

Knowing that look on her wife’s face.

Rip my fucking clothes off, her insides scream again.

Carina smirks. “Tell me our safe word,” she instructs, already in charge.

Already lighting a fire low in Maya’s belly.

Because there is love here, burning between them – love and consent and affection. Carina knows how the blindfold can heighten all the other senses. How it helps Maya to relax, to feel more present in her body.

How fucking hot she finds it.

Maya does as she is told, whispering the word as she leans forward, allowing Carina to tie the soft fabric around her eyes. Allowing Carina to take full control.

“Stay here,” Carina commands.

Maya waits, listening intently as Carina’s feet pad across the kitchen floor. As the cardboard pastry box is opened once more.

She waits, until she feels the warmth of Carina slipping between her legs, the smell of her perfume and the faint sweetness of donuts wafting in between them.

Until Carina leans closer, her nose brushing against Maya’s own.

Maya opens her mouth, desperate for the kiss she’s been waiting hours for.

Instead, she feels Carina’s finger slip past her lips, tasting of cream filling. She opens her mouth wider, feeling Carina’s breath on her tongue.

Carina, and the taste she’s actually craving.

“Lick,” Carina orders.

Maya closes her mouth dutifully, sucking the custard from Carina’s slender finger. Her hand sneaks around Carina’s back, sliding down to find purchase on her ass.

She grins when Carina gasps at the contact, taking it as an opportunity to seek out Carina’s mouth once more. Carina’s beautiful, delicious mouth.

Maya only manages to dip her tongue behind Carina’s teeth before she’s slipping away again, giggling as she drifts to the end of Maya’s fingers.

“Where are you going now?” Maya calls after her.

“Be good,” Carina chuckles instead of answering.

The fridge opens across the room and Maya does know, then, where Carina is going. Knows exactly what path Carina intends to take them down this evening.

She pries the blindfold from her head, slipping off the counter as quickly as she can manage. Grinning, as she disobeys.

Somehow, it’s fast enough to surprise Carina before she can lean inside the fridge for the chocolate sauce or the strawberries or whatever else is on her menu.

“No more food,” Maya mutters, pushing the door closed as she eases Carina back against the sink. “I only want to taste you.”

they should have arrested me when I was in high school and got so obsessed with tolkien that I ended up planning out a 4 stage fic with something like 55 discreet oc's. 5 of whom designed specifically to fuck principal characters.

[conundrumoftime]

Was discussing the pre-AO3 days of fandom earlier today, mostly in the context of dead archives and creators sending C&D letters to fan sites (funnnn times). And I went to look at my old fanfiction.net stories to see the kind of disclaimers I put on fic, and… I made that in 2005. 2005! It’s 19 years old! Goodness.

I mostly lurked and read in Tolkien fandom back then although I have a couple of stories from ff.net and LJ from 2004/5. I remember it being an intimidating fandom, or it felt like it to me; I remember we were all very worked up over Mary Sues (why? WHY did we care?) and I remember endless discussions about whether slash should be rated higher than het on ff.net’s new rating system (sigh); I remember the citrus scale.

But I also remember it as being such fun, as being the first fandom that took something I had loved since I was a child and said “hey, you can look at it this other way too”. I remember the delight of actually getting to read what other people thought happened on the Helcaraxë. I remember some of the absolute crackfic LiveJournal RP, too. And the people I met then, and the character songlists we swapped.

I hope you’re doing okay out there, fellow early-mid 2000s fandom people! And never assume you’re out for good - I had an 18-year gap in writing Tolkien fics but the elves have pulled me back in once again :)

And here we are, at the final Sunday! ('The Final Countdown' blares in the background) Jokes aside, I hope this last chapter doesn't disappoint as the conclusion to this wild ride. It's been a wonderful time, and while I'm sad to see the fic finished it's nice to have something like this finished. I never thought I would be able to write something this long, this involved, and yet here it is sitting every-so-calmly on my AO3 <3 Thank you for everyone who's been keeping up this entire time, and welcome to anyone who was waiting for it to be completed in order to dive in. An especially big thank you to @dbh-bb and @connor-sent-by-cyberlife, as the event and collab partner that made this all possible. For some reason, Tumblr won't let me put this link in all fancy-like, so please excuse the boring link below ; ~;

Speaking of fic: the most intense negative comments I've ever gotten have been for Season of Courtship, but the most "...huh" are definitely the complaints about First Impressions (my f!Darcy/m!Elizabeth retelling of P&P).

I was poking around old fic accounts and off AO3(/Dreamwidth), there are a bunch of complaints about Catherine (f!Darcy) that are either like a) why would you even write Darcy as a woman, preposterous or b) she's cold and nasty and Henry (m!Elizabeth) only falls for her because he's a weak man who wants to be dominated.

(My other commenters have generally treated Catherine as the main attraction of the fic, so it is genuinely interesting to see how different the responses can get outside of my usual haunts! But also the idea of femdom Hal/Catherine is hilarious to me.)

obsidian prologue

where to read: ↪ ff.net ↪ ao3

Summary: Tsubaki Kazeha was just a struggling university student until Dabi draws her into his twisted plan to destroy his father. Intrigued by her power and vulnerability, he pulls her deeper into his world, where danger and desire blur into a dark, irresistible romance. Dabi x OC

And that intrigued him, but not ready to act just yet.

[akkpipitphattana]

no cause what do you mean i’ve had this blog and have been writing fanfiction for ten years this year. thats not right

[familyofpaladins]

I did the meme thing with my most recent blorbos to form the most ridiculous set lol (Leonardo from TMNT and Jess Harper from Laramie (1959))

It's very funny to me because both of them have killed/willing to kill, but it's the 15 year old turtle who would probably be the one to admit first that they're gonna have to kill someone instead of the 26 year old ex-gunfighter

Bonus of the kinds of fics I've been reading lately

pissed off their red-coded brother/friend who wants them to stop their self-sacrificial bullshit

[moonticintheflowers]

You know what I like about fanfiction the most?

It's the fact that I can choose.

I have control over what fanfics I read.

It's the one thing in my life that gives me a sense of control.

Because I can choose whether I want to feel sad, angry, happy, whatever.

It's a great way to distract me from the shit going on irl.

When I'm having a shitty time, fanfics are always my go-to escape.

I've witnessed my happiest moments through fanfics.

So thank you, to all authors who write fanfics.

To the ao3 authors, going through your author curse and still providing me with one of my most treasured escapes.

To the wattpad authors, who helped me get into the fanfiction world. Who taught me the first steps. Who helped me write my first fic.

To the ff.net authors, who showed me that there's a whole world of fanfiction beyond Wattpad.

To the people on tumblr, who give our prompts, recs, and full fanfics/fancomics.

Thank you. For making my life worth living.

[bone-evidence]

9 and 30?

9. How did you get into writing fanfiction?

I started writing fanfiction in 2011/2012, can't remember exaaaactly how I got into it? I think one of my brand new highschool friends encouraged me and I took off from there

30. Have you noticed your style change over time?

Yeah! A lot of it comes down to me just getting better at weaving a story together. If I take a look at ye olde ff.net fics from highschool, there's almost no emphasis on the actual world the characters inhabit. That still creeps in sometimes nowadays, but I really do enjoy letting the environment tell the story it needs to! To Cure What Ails is a good example, I think. The space Gil inhabits is hurting just as much as he is
