Freddie's very pregnant and determined to decorate the nursery. Roger is always there to help him.

I wrote a thing for Freddie Mercury Weekend. I don’t like the ending because I can’t end stories to save my life. Haha. But if I didn’t just end it I wouldn’t ever post it. It’s part of a Queen series I’ve been writing for years. This is the first thing I’ve posted from it.

Thank you @a-froger-epic and @freddie-mercury-rising for organizing this!

🎊 Freddie Mercury Weekend 2022 🎊

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

ABOUT THE EVENT

Once again, t’s time to shine a light on the man himself, Freddie Mercury! YOUR creative contributions are wanted! You can write, draw, edit, record, even cross-stitch. 😉 Any ship, any genre, any way you like, so long as it’s about Freddie. Everyone is welcome, there is no wrong way to be a fan! (Except maybe strangling him with his own scarf. That’s pretty weird. Don’t do that.)

WHEN? On the 3rd, 4th and 5th of June.

HOW? On the above dates (or after!), post your contributions to the AO3 collection or on Tumblr, tagged ‘#fmw2022’ or/and ‘#freddie mercury weekend 2022’. If you post on Tumblr, please also tag @a-froger-epic or @freddie-mercury-rising to make sure you get a reblog!

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

THE PROMPTS

The prompts are here to inspire, there is no wrong way to write them! Change them around, mix them up, ignore them, make of them whatever you want! 😊

3rd of June - 400-800 word challenge!

No time to write? First time writer just testing the waters? No need for an epic, just write a scene! Surely you’ll find time for 500 words! Each of these mini-prompts is a separate prompt, but you can combine them!

 Kitten 😺  |   Crush 💕  |   Panic 😱  |   Letter 💌

Telephone ☎️  |   Trapped 🧱  |   Terminal 😔  |   Tour bus 🚌 

Boarding school 🏫  |   Knickers 🩲  |   Flying 🍃 |   Microphone 🎤 

Cooking 👨‍🍳  |  Heartbreak 💔  |   Baby-sitting 👶🏼  |  Ballet slippers 🩰 

First time 😳  |  Eyeliner 👁️  |   Bruise 😢  |   Petals 🌸 

4th of June - Is This The Real Life? 

A list of real event prompts from Freddie’s life. How real you want to keep them is entirely up to you!

1964 - That time a violent revolution in Zanzibar caused Freddie’s family to flee the country.

1970 - That time Freddie’s idol, Jimi Hendrix, tragically passed away. Roger and Freddie closed their stall early. Later at rehearsals, Queen played Hendrix songs as a tribute.

mid-1970s - That time Ratty and Freddie almost died in a car crash, but things turned out unexpectedly hilarious.

1982 - That time Bill Reid was a dangerous, abusive, violent drunk during the Hot Space US tour and Freddie’s bodyguard went on to tell the tale. 

1985 - That time Freddie would not stop calling Jim in the wee hours of the morning. 

1991 - That time Freddie prepared letters/gifts for those he would leave behind. (Was Elton’s gift the only one?)

Or, let these quotes inspire you! ➡️

“Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you're going to meet down there!”

“I like to be surrounded by splendid things.”

“I can't cook, and I'd be a terrible housewife.”

“I am loved by thousands, but I feel like the loneliest man in the world.”

“Excess is part of my nature. Dullness is a disease.”

“It destroys the soul to hear that you're all hype, that you have no talent, and that your whole career has been contrived.”

“The bigger the better; in everything.”

“I think I'm sort of a chameleon. I change and I have moods, and I think it's a combination of a lot of characters that make up a person anyway. I think over and above I'm a person of extremes. I can be very soft, but that makes me that much more tenacious.”

5th of June - Is It Just Fantasy?

A list of AU prompts to spark your imagination. Going for the classics this time around, but feel free to change them up however you like!

Soulmate AU… in a society which no longer believes in such scientifically unsupported hogwash as soulmates, and yet… 

Fairytale/Fantasy AU… Freddie isn’t exactly the dragon-slaying warrior prince he is expected to be, as a firstborn male heir to the kingdom. But perhaps the dragon he is expected to slay is no ordinary dragon…

High School AU… School sucks. Most days, Freddie would rather be anywhere else. That is, until a new student joins the class…

Modern Day AU… Who is Freddie Mercury in 2022? A jaded artist, like too many others who tried and failed? A social media celebrity? A primary school music teacher? A contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race?! (We have no idea, you tell us!)

Horror AU… But who is the monster? And who is the villain? Are the two one and the same? 

Or, let these incorrect quotes inspire you! ➡️

“I’d like to offer you moral support, but I have questionable morals, my dear.”

“I’m a fool, darling, but I’m not an idiot.”

“I regret getting dragged into this heterosexual tomfoolery.”

“I am not a whore! But if I were, I’d be the classy kind that gets flown to Dubai to stay in an underwater hotel.”

“My life isn't as glamorous as my wanted poster makes it look.”

“I tried to write ‘I'm a functional adult’ but my phone changed it to ‘fictional adult’ and I do feel that is more accurate.”

“What happens in Barcelona stays in Barcelona, darling.”

“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t walk out that door.”

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

“I love the fact that I make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s just half an hour of their lives, in any way that I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.”

Summary: Freddie, leather, and a night out at the Mineshaft.

Tags: Rated M, Gen, Leather Culture, Drug Mentions, Kink Mentions, Clubbing

Notes: Happy Pride y’all! This year I’m celebrating with a thorough appreciation of Freddie in the Leather community, starting with this fic which was written for Freddie Mercury Weekend 2022.

The Mineshaft was a gay leather and sex club in NYC that Freddie was a member of (and in fact, the shirt Freddie wears in the “Don’t Stop Me Now” music video has the Mineshaft logo on it). Specific inspiration for this fic came from this photo of the Mineshaft dress code and this (SFW) Tom of Finland drawing.

Title stolen from, but not inspired by, the song “The New Routine” by Bob Geldof.

we keep this love in a photograph

Jim finds a certain photograph of Freddie and has a very ✨pleasurable✨ reaction.

[eileen-crys]

This is my entry for Freddie Mercury Weekend 2022, organised by the dear @a-froger-epic and @freddie-mercury-rising 🥰💕💕💕

I'm not that good at writing Freddie, I know, but I wanted to try again. This time not in a Jimercury setting, but I still love to focus on his generous and supportive side and tried to write a bit about his friendship with John. It's just a little drabble so maybe it's not that deep but I hope you'll like it anyway!

[freddie-mercury-rising]

Wrong Number

For the telephone prompt for Freddie Mercury Weekend 2022

In his hotel room in New York City, Freddie Mercury answers a phone call. He's quite sure it is a wrong number, but he might be the only one who can help the boy on the other end of the line.

[pumpkinlilyao3]

It shouldn’t be possible. It can’t be.

Not him!

A lump formed in his throat. Once the radio announced someone's death, it was as if it made it real. It was no longer a rumour, a bad joke or a state of floating between uncertainty and reality. Taking refuge in oblivion or the hope of a mistake wasn’t an option anymore.

or: Freddie and Roger learn about Jimi Hendrix's sudden passing, on the 18th of September 1970.

-*-

Hello everyone! I'm one week late 😂 but Happy Freddie Weekend! ❤ I got unexpectedly inspired for this story by the prompt "1970 - That time Freddie’s idol, Jimi Hendrix, tragically passed away. Roger and Freddie closed their stall early. Later at rehearsals, Queen played Hendrix songs as a tribute." I also wanted to mix it with the prompt "Heartbreak" in it.

While thinking about the death of an idol through Freddie's eyes, it got me to think about my own relationship with Queen, and… well, about things we'd rather not focus on when we think about persons we admire and appreciate. Thank you very much @a-froger-epic and @freddie-mercury-rising for organising this event! 🥰

❤ Have a good read! ❤

Gen Weekend 2022!

💛 💛 🖤 🤍 💜 💛 💛

ABOUT THE EVENT

We all know shipping and romance is wildly popular, as it has every right to be, but now it’s time to shine a light on the beauty of friendship, platonic love & family!

What is Gen Weekend? Gen Weekend is named after the ‘gen’ category on AO3, that means: no romantic or sexual relationships, or relationships which are not the main focus of the work.

The aim of Gen Weekend is to promote and celebrate stories which don’t have romantic love and sex as their main focus. We want your tales of life-changing friendships, your family dramas and your wild action adventures!

ASPEC friendly! This fandom event is consciously ace/aro friendly and inclusive. Some of the organisers are on the asexuality spectrum and encourage you to check out this great resource when it comes to writing asexual/aromantic characters.

WHEN? On the 25th, 26th and 27th of March.

HOW? On the above dates (or after! - the collection will remain open for a while) post your contributions to the AO3 collection (Queen_Gen_Weekend_2022) or alternatively on Tumblr, tagged ‘#GenWeekend2022’ and/or ‘#Gen Weekend 2022’.

Announcing Maycury Week 2022

It's Brian's birthday again and this time he's turning 75! 35 he's totally turning 35, really. We love him very much here, and so it's time to give him the very best we can imagine - meaning Freddie of course!

Maycury Week this year will run from Freddie's birthday, Sept 5 - Sept 11. We've prepared four prompts for each day: a quote, an AU, a situation, and a song.

Rules! It's Maycury Week, so the central pairing should be Freddie and Brian, whether you want that to be Platonic or Romantic. No word count requirements, poetry music and imagery are as welcome as stories, and the prompts are only for inspiration - if you have an idea that doesn't match any prompt, we will be thrilled to see that too!

There will be a collection on AO3 which will go live the weekend before, as well as a round up of Tumblr posts at the end. Please tag everything “#Maycury Week 2022” so we can find it.

Let's get to it! Here are this year's prompts!

General rules: Everyone is welcome! But hate is not, so please: Don’t Interact With Trolls. If you feed them they just come back for more! Stick to Freddie/Brian for romantic or Freddie&Brian for platonic as the primary relationship, and let’s give Brian the best possible 75th birthday! no it's totally his 35th

(Please bring any questions you may have to our ask box.  Thanks to @plainxte for our header, and @freddie-mercurial for starting this glorious tradition!)
