MMBNLC Countdown Update
Just wanted to quickly update, since we are down to the final days of the countdown. 
There are still 7 artists I am waiting on, pending completion of their pics. Some weren’t expecting to be done until the 14th, some have contacted me already, some have not. But to all those remaining, please do your best to get something sent to me by this Friday, the 14th. The remaining pending pieces will all be assigned to post on the release day, where hopefully there will be a good 10 or so new pics to celebrate the launch.
If you are unable to get something posted on Friday, you will unfortunately be ineligible for the raffle prize drawing. So please do your best to wrap up over the next day or so. Please message me if you have any questions.
Best of luck to you all as you finish your works, and thank you to all who have already submitted/helped us have a fun month of drawings counting down to the collection! I certainly wasn’t expecting to see so many other fan and official countdowns to happen at the same time, but it’s still been neat to see them happen along with us as well.

Romione FicFest 2021 - Kickoff Post
Good evening/afternoon/morning to everyone. Welcome to the FicFest 2021.
This year has a few additional upgrades including....
Gmail address for submitting all fics
Our own collection for Ao3
and currently working on headers and other décor as well as an updated FAQ. (This one is the one from Last year so working on a new update for it.)
If anyone needs audio in addition to alt-text for any graphics, please let me know so I can figure a way out to add it as well. But if no one does, then I’m not putting in the additional time which can be spent on other things.
*************************
Prompts
This isn’t a sign-up kind of fest but a prompt one. Since so many lovely people submitted prompts - across 4 entry points! - there will be plenty to choose from for writers. There’s various tropes & genres, settings and situations, and prompt words/ideas/items.
Day 1 prompting starts tomorrow @ 6pm GMT.  Link to World Clock.
Pick 1 from the daily list. If you wish to incorporate more, more power to you. If there is something not on the list you want to write, there is a Free Day prompt going up sometime. Use it if there isn’t anything else you like.
Write it how you will - from the trope busting genre to using an object in an unusual way - heck, even take a prompt and crack it like Mary Wollstonecraft’s headstone - that’s fine for me. I love seeing the creativity in action.
For those who don’t speak English as a first language:
By all means, submit your work in English - but it doesn’t have to be perfect. No one (gives side-eyes to all entrants!) will hold it against you for not speaking perfect English (and if they do, they have to deal with me.)
Entries:
Want to write 50 entries? Send them all in. The more the merrier. Only have time for one? That’s great too. I take any and all entries - if they are under 1500 words. (Though if it was like last year and an entry is over such, it will still be posted but not entered into the voting for the prize(s).) 
Only 2 things are exempt:
No Infidelity for the main couple. ‘Tis my squick - and my fest - so that’s my rule. It doesn’t mean anyone else isn’t open for such - but not Ron & Hermione. This is a fest for them, after all.
No bashing. Criticism is OK but not bashing. 
Also, like last year, I will submit at least one. It will be labeled and ineligible for voting consideration. I win because I get to read the entries first.
Betas:
While they aren’t required, it does make for a more pleasant reading experience. If anyone needs a beta and doesn’t have one (or their normal one is busy) email/IM/DM me and I will post a need - and if no one reaches out, I will pinch-hit as a beta for you - and make note of it in the author’s notes for transparency.
Ratings:
Any rating is fine - from G to NC-35. I am the final arbiter on ratings & if I think that it’s rated too low, I will bump it up - or add tag warnings for it. Not everyone wants to read lemon citrus works or not safe for work items so active and ongoing consent is mandatory.
Also, if someone has a trigger warning they need me to keep in mind for any entries - no matter how embarrassing or strange you think they are - please let me know. Really. No judgment on my part on what is a trigger. No, I won’t ask why, either. That’s not my business. Your comfort for this fest is my business. That’s why Anonymous stays open.
Submission forms:
This year I have the email address up and running
[email protected] as well as the collection point on Ao3 up and going. But submitting it on the Tumblr form - and me doing the legwork - is there as well. If you email it in, it doesn’t have to be in Ao3 html markup. I have a script on Google Docs I use for that - and check it before entry. But if you do, it saves me much time on validation of the coding.
The less time I work on coding means more time for other stuff.
Back-stage administration:
All behind the scenes items are open for inspection so anyone saying I have my scaly talons on the voting/nudging anything will see that isn’t my objective. I win because A) I get to read these works first! and B) I get to watch healthy drama unfolding.
If there are any criticisms, I gladly accept them. I won’t bite if you put your name to your criticism and will take it in consideration. I have some amazing Romione writers who have already reached out to help the behind the scenes administration for this fest whom will help if there are any ethical or moral concerns. Come in blasting on anonymous and.... well, that never goes well. There’s ample rusted chainmail in my caverns from those who tried and failed. I have zero qualms blocking via IP address. So, please, be civil & cordial.
Voting
Yes, there will be voting again this year. I will, once again, put up a grand prize. While @hillnerd​ is too busy being amazing for art, I will find another suitable prize for the winner - and some prizes for the top 4. What they will be.... remains to be seen. Yes, this goes for everyone - including those internationally (I have my ways!)
I’m finishing up the links, updating headers, and other goodies. Stay tuned for further updates.
And if you want to turn on notifications, that’s brilliant too.
Sincerely from the bottom of my stone primed scaly talons,
Tumblr media

Fic - Trick or Treat? Pairing - Scriddler (Edward Nygma & Jonathan Crane) AO3 Link - http://archiveofourown.org/works/12130047 Summary: A surprise knock on the door forces Jonathan to confront something truly terrifying: trick or treating children!
Dropping another tissue onto the nearby coffee table, the irritation of Jonathans' nose was showing no signs of giving him a moments respite and he continued to rub at the end of it with the back of his hand.
“You're only making it worse by touching it.” Edwards' unwanted opinion wafted over to him from the opened door of the kitchen. “I have been telling you to leave it alone.”
Ignoring him, Jonathan settled back into the inviting comfort of the couch as he willed his mild cold away through sheer force of his mental prowess. However, his head had barely came into contact with the pillows when a soft knock alerted both occupants of the apartment to a presence at the door.
He glanced at Edward expectantly and received a shake of the head in response.
“Do not look at me. If I take my eyes off this soup for a moment it will boil over and destroy my stove top.” Edward argued. “It is most likely a delivery for yourself anyway.”
Releasing a growl of annoyance, Jonathan pushed himself up from the couch and approached the door. They were not expecting company tonight and he subtly palmed the metal bar which acted as their preferred deterrence for unwanted visitors with one hand as he allowed the other to click the handle down and swing the door open with a little force.
No soon had the door opened more than a few inches when an unexpected musical chorus met him.
“TRICK OR TREAT!”
What?
His stony glance lowered slowly until it settled on a trio of children, around five or six by his estimations, who were standing before him with face-splitting grins. Their small hands were wrapped around plastic bags, their contents already beginning to bulge with various candies and other gifts already received, with an almost vice-like grip.
Unable to believe what was standing before him, Jonathan could only blink as he towered over them.
“Excuse me?”
“TRICK OR TREAT!”
The phrase was repeated with an equal volume of enthusiasm but now with the added enthusiasm of the shaking of the candy bags, a hint as to his what his next move should be.
“Excus-”
“Well what do we have here!?”
Edwards' showman tones resonated over Jonathans' shoulder and his head shot to the side as he registered the sudden appearance of his partner.
So much for the soup.
Within Edwards' grasp was a large hollow plastic pumpkin filled to the brim with large bags of mixed candies and sweets which any child would practically salivate over given half a chance.
Apparently Edward had known that today was Halloween.
That made one of them.
Narrowing his eyes suspiciously, Jonathan stared at the hollow pumpkin.
“Where did that even come from?”
“I always hand out candy on Halloween.” Keeping a huge smile on his face to ensure the attention of the children, Edward spoke from the corners of his mouth. “I am not a miser and you have always worked Halloween in the past and I suspected that your previous conceding of this years 'celebration' to Julian Day would mean that you would forget about the day itself.”
Well, he was not wrong.
His recent illness and lack of holiday themed plans had resulted in his complete ignorance of the holiday itself and as Edward swung the door open, Jonathan found that both himself and Edward were left standing openly in the doorway before the three children.
“So, do you have a song or a dance for us?” Edward shook the pumpkin invitingly. “You all understand that you must perform in exchange for a bag. You have to earn your treat.”
Stepping forward, the only boy of the group took position in front of the girls.
“I'm Aiden and i'm a mummy!” He squeaked out and he held his toilet paper wrapped arms out in mock-mummy fashion as he walked forward a few steps. “The girls said I was scary. Do I look scary?”
Rolling his eyes, Jonathan was just about to turn back into the apartment and leave Edward to deal with this himself when he felt Edwards' fingers jamming themselves between his thin ribs and he jumped in both pain and surprise.
“Look!” Edward exclaimed as he switched his grip and Jonathan could feel that he was being held gently in place. “You made Jonathan here jump! You must be extremely frightening!”
Glaring at Edward with open irritation, Jonathan fought against his desire to immaturely ram his hand against Edwards' sides in revenge and instead chose to fold his arms across his chest as he held his position.
“Do you have a song?” He bit out between clenched teeth since clearly his presence here was necessary.
At his question, the boy burst out into a very loud and disturbingly off-key version of some childish rhyme involving frogs and logs which was interspersed with both physical dancing and mediocre frog impressions.
Forcing a smile onto his face, Jonathan drummed his fingers against his arms in faux-applause as Edward provided an actual small applause before removing a bag from the pumpkin and dropping it in the boys' bag.
Pleased with his winnings, the boy bounded away back down the corridor.
The first of the two girls quickly stepped forward, taking her friends place, and her dark skin was mostly covered by a black cat mask which possessed both ears and whiskers.
“And you're a cat.” Jonathan stated.
“Nope,” the girl threw her hands onto his hips with some force as she shook her head, “i'm Catwoman! I'm going to get the most candy tonight and then i'm going to go steal all the money in all the banks in Gotham!”
For the first time since this encounter began, a genuine smirk tugged at Jonathans' lips. This one was a lively little thing and he was sorely tempted to give her vague directions to send her past Selinas' safehouse.
It would be worth it for the reaction from the feline thief herself.
“My momma says she's a good role model.” The girl continued.
“That she is,” Edward nodded his agreement, “so do you have a song for us?”
“I've got a riddle.”
“Really?!” Edwards' grin lit up again as he placed the pumpkin on the floor and dropped to one knee to give this girl his full attention. “And what is it?”
Shifting her eyes for a moment as she struggled to remember, eventually the girl crossed her arms in a fashion similar to Jonathans' own.
“What gets wetter as it dries?”
Seeing Edward open his mouth to answer, unable to stop himself, Jonathan shot his hand out and squeezed on his shoulder hard enough to stop his words in his tracks as a small hiss of pain instead escaped the kneeling genius.
A small act of revenge.
“Sorry child,” he tilted his head sweetly at the expectant girl, “my friend here is not smart enough to understand the answer to your riddle. Tell him the answer?”
“A towel!” She exclaimed with pride, her smile at Edward laced with sympathy, and then held her bag out for her reward.
“You heard the child, Edward,” Jonathan prompted, voice gentle as though explaining something simple, “it was 'a towel'. Now give the cat her prize.”
As Edward handed the girl her bag, Jonathan momentarily ducked back into the apartment to grab another tissue. One quick blown nose later and he was back to see what the final child had left to offer.
The experience so far had not been as dreadful as he had initially anticipated. Children these days were more humorous than he recalled from his own youth. They were still unsanitary and far too meddlesome for their own good but at least they could apparently amuse him for a moment.
As he focused his attention on the last child, he noted that she was dressed as some form of undead creature, a zombie most likely, and her made-up pale skin and dark eyes with faux-blood made him wonder at exactly what point adults had an input into their childs' designs.
“I have a joke!” She announced, forgoing any other attempt at small talk with the two adults.
“Then I would love to hear it.”
As Edward stood again, Jonathan felt a surge of mild fondness at the level of enthusiasm which Edward was injecting into this absolutely pointless activity. He made a mental note to ask Edward about his own experiences with Halloween since there was obviously some emotionally fertile land there to till. Edwards' happy memories were few and far between so it would be interesting to discover another layer of the genius in relation to the current holidays.
Clearing her throat dramatically, the girl set up her punchline.
“Why did the scarecrow get an award?”
Unable to withhold their joint smirks at the mention of Jonathans' alter-ego, Jonathan felt Edward twist his body to face his.
“I have no clue, why did the scarecrow get an award?” Edwards' eyes sparkled with his mirth. “Do you know the answer?”
“They do not allow me to receive awards anymore,” Jonathan muttered from the corner of his mouth in response, “apparently my frequent residencies in Arkham make me ineligible.”
Not privy to their conversation, the child continued.
“Because he was the best in his field!”
Even as a smile again tugged at his own lips, Jonathan could hear a small appreciative chuckle emitting from Edward as he humoured the girl.
“Very funny! You are quite the joker, little lady.”
“My mom and dad say we don't like the Joker,” the girl offered in a loud hushed tone, a childs' idea of confidential speech, “she says he is a horrible man!”
“Your parents are not wrong.”
Jonathan agreed politely and, feeling charitable, handed the girl two bags of candy which she thanked him for before greedily stuffing them into her bag.
“Now run off to your friends and be sure to shut the main door behind you,” he instructed her before lowering his tone significantly until only Edward would be able to hear him, “lest any other children find their way in here.”
Grinning, the girl let loose a childish wave before sprinting away down the corridor. However, before she had gotten more than a few meters away she paused and turned back the duo watching her depart.
“Hey mister!” She called out, high voice echoing through the empty hallway.
“Yes?” Jonathan answered.
“I really, really, really like your skeleton costume! It's so creepy!”
Having given her opinion, the girl disappeared around the corner of the hall as the patter of her small feet and youthful giggles slowly faded away.
Looking down as his outfit, Jonathan was confronted by the simple white vest and grey slacks which he had thrown on to ensure comfort as he recovered from his cold and a furrow of confusion made its way onto his face as he glanced at Edward.
“What costume?”
Not even trying to hold it in, Edwards' laughter was like a thunderclap in the hallway as he registered the offence which the girl had inadvertently created in his unwell partner.

- PROLOGUE -
Aboard the Endless Expanse, anything is possible. A party will soon be held on this magical ship, and you’re invited! Fabulous games, incredible prizes, and the chance to change your life await on the sea of dreams! Joining us in our voyage is really quite simple!
Rule #1 - The party aboard the Endless Expanse is a private affair that only a special few are chosen to take part in. You and you alone are to know of it.
Rule #2 - We encourage anonymity among our guests as to not complicate your relations with one another and to allow you to act freely without consequence.  You will be known under an alias of your choosing upon arrival to the Port of Tomorrow.
Rule #3 - Bring only your essentials, the rest will be provided.
Rule #4 - Do not speak to the other guests before boarding the Endless Expanse.
Rule #5 - The Endless Expanse will be arriving at the station at 11 a.m. on the dot. Do not be late.
Failure to comply with these rules will make you immediately ineligible to join us. Do not waste this chance!
[ x ]
You look up from your invitation to see a worn down and rusted sign that reads ‘Port of Tomorrow.’ The mysterious invitation provided to you led you here with an obnoxious amount of detail, but… Is this really the ‘Port of Tomorrow’ mentioned? Beyond the gates of the port you can see the rest of the area seems to be in the same state of abandonment that the sign is. The cool sea breeze pushes gently on your back, as if urging you to move forward. You’ve already come all this way, it would be best to follow through.
You slowly walk through the gates of the Port of Tomorrow and begin to cautiously look around you. Empty shipping containers covered in plant life, cracked concrete being taken back by the Earth, and an overwhelming feeling of dread is all you notice until reaching what seems to be something incredibly out of place. A pier, brand new, with a glittering blue pole standing in front of it. As you approach, you notice a sign attached to the top of the pole pointing towards the end of the pier that reads, ‘Endless Expanse.’ So, this really is the place after all.
As you look down the pier, you notice some other guests have already seemingly arrived and you see a large staircase the currently leads to nothing. Some guests stand uncomfortably still looking around at their surroundings, others look bored, some still not quite awake. You can see words forming on the lips of some of the guests as you approach, but they quickly look away from you. That’s right. You aren’t allowed to speak to one another yet. You decide, begrudgingly for some, to keep quiet, and as you do more guests seem to arrive. 12… 13… 14… Just as the invitation had promised. Including yourself, there were now 15 people standing on the pier. You check your cell phone to see—
A loud horn wipes out your thoughts and your head jerks up to see a shape coming through the morning mist of the sea. It’s 11 a.m. The Endless Expanse has arrived.
[ x ]
As the ship approaches the port’s pier, you can all see a figure waving enthusiastically down at you. The Endless Expanse… It was incredible. It was a tall ship, but not incredibly long. It larger than life, but still somehow perfect for the amount of passengers that would be on board. It looked brand new and sleek, with glittering blue accents against it’s pure white body. It was unlike anything you had ever seen, and focusing on just one part of it proved to be too difficult.
When the ship came to a full stop, an opening in the deck of the ship opens and a figure approaches. It is small in frame and a little hard to see clearly from how far up it appears to be. It snaps it’s fingers and latches connect the staircase to the ship. You all hear a giggle come from it as it begins to wave enthusiastically at you.
Tumblr media
“Honored Guests! So lovely to see you’ve all made it on time! How I love a punctual group! Now, hurry along. There is no time to waste!”
The figure, which you seem to realize now is a girl, skips back on to the deck of the ship. You and the rest of the guests look at one another for a moment before realizing… This is what you came for. Single file, each guest begins to climb the staircase on to the Endless Expanse. The deck of the ship looked like something out of an island paradise. You were finding it hard to believe you had never heard of this ship until now, until you remember Rule #1. No one could talk about the Endless Expanse once invited. It almost felt cruel.
“Honored Guests, if you could please join me on the bow of the ship! Aha, that means the front! Sea faring language is so interesting, isn’t it? Ah, do not worry about your bags! Drop them wherever you wish, and I will be sure to take care of them after introductions are complete!”
The guests all share another silent glance before heading towards the front of the ship where a cute young girl with short blonde hair waited for them. She is wearing what appears to be a sailor uniform, specifically tailored to her. Did she make it? Before you can think too much about it you hear several loud pops in a row, then suddenly you’re surrounded by color as confetti falls around you.
Tumblr media
“Welcome… to the Endless Expanse! I am oh so glad you all accepted my invitation! I will be your lovely captain, Dorothy! But please, I insist that you call me Dot. We’re going to become such close friends, after all!”
Dot curtsied to the guests and smiled brightly. She seemed so full of life and energy. She seemed like she may be hard to keep up with.
Tumblr media
“You are all probably thinking, ‘Hey, lady! What’s the deal with this here travelin’ machine, ehhhhhh?’ Worry not, my dear guests. All your questions will be answered in due time, but why don’t we make sure you are nice and comfortable before we begin our festivities, hm?”
She giggled and began walking through the crowd of guests. After walking a few steps on her own she turned back around and smiled.
Tumblr media
“Come along, Honored Guests. No need to be shy. It’s a party, after all!”
She motioned for the guests to follow her. Some took her direction immediately, others hesitated, but after meeting Dot you feel a bit relieved. She comes on a bit strong, but she means well, doesn’t she? You follow the others to what appears to be a room at the stern of the ship.
“The elevator behind me can take you to any floor of the ship you desire! That being said, only the deck and the first two floors are available at the moment. I will be sure to open our other floors in time, but let’s not get overwhelmed~” She motions towards the door the group came in through, and you notice a small screen next to it. “At each entrance to a room on the Endless Expanse you will find a map. We want navigating our vessel to be as simple as possible! You can find any directions you need there, and I will be available at all times to help with anything you may need! …Within reason of course~”
Dot turned around towards the elevator and clicked on the down button gently. Her movements were perfect and practiced. She turned again towards the guests and motioned for them to enter the elevator.
Tumblr media
“The floor below this one is where each of your suites are located! Feel free to pick any suite that feels the most comfortable and I will deliver your luggage to you as quickly as possible. For now… make yourselves at home! There is much the Endless Expanse has to offer currently. Converse with your fellow party goers, play a game, perhaps have a drink? It’s up to you! On the Endless Expanse, anything is possible!”
As she says this, you can feel the boat begin to move. You must be setting off. As if on cue, Dot moves past them and begins climbing the stairs up to a room above the elevator.
Tumblr media
“I have much to prepare before our party begins, but I will be available anytime! Just call my name, and I’ll be sure to appear... Just like magic!”
She laughed and gave the guests a small wave before disappearing behind the large door upstairs. The guests had been left alone on the Endless Expanse to do as they wished… What will they do?
- PROLOGUE -
Welcome to the Endless Expanse! You have free reign over the facilities currently at your disposal. You may spend your time as you wish! Meet the other passengers, have a drink, explore, or call upon Dot to investigate the captain of the ship. Have fun!
