[jademickian]

just heard someone moaning from the uni library at 10am. good for them, good for them.

[heymrspatel]

in my softest clothes, wrapped in the fuzziest blanket, sipping on the nicest lil drink. i'm ready to tackle all these fic updates!

no one bother me unless you've all decided to hang out like last night (because i'll have fomo) or unless you want to confess you're in love with me. ok? ✌🏼

[lesbiangallagher]

ugh anyone else miss school 🥲🥲🥲🥲 that second master’s is looking awfully tempting rn

Hey! Kinda new around here and was wondering if you could tell me what these fics are TIPDIG, CG, SPEE, LRPD, and I think there’s a few others. I keep seeing these in like fic recommendations posts but I can’t figure out what the actual title are? Is there are son people keep abbreviating them?

Hi hi, welcome to the fandom <3 People really like abbreviations in here for some reason! It usually happens to the popular fics with longer names that you assume everyone knows anyway and you don't want to retype everytime you mention it. But there is absolutely no logic behind it because there are some pretty popular fics that never get abbreviated :D

The ones you've mentioned are:

TIPDIG - The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Ian Gallagher

CG - Cooperative Gameplay

LRPD - Like Real People Do

For SPEE we had to think for longer, we've never seen it before but we assumed it was something recent, and the one that fits seems to be - Silent Pain in Emerald Eyes. None of us has read it yet, but it's probably this one :)

Other popular abbreviations you might see:

NTW - None the wiser

EATS - Etherized Against the Sky 

ITQD - Intro to Quantum Dating

LIAB - Love is a Ballfield

SHITW - Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

YNSUA - you'll never see us again

Triple C - The Casanova Catering Conflict

And of course TSTLSOOM - Teenagers Scare The Living Shit Out Of Me 

There are too many fics that get abbreviated, so we can't name them all. But if you ever see another one and get confused - hit us up and we'll decode it for you ;)

[gardenerian]

i sent this to another blog to but I wanna start a conversation/ask about the absolute must read/legendary fics in the shameless/gallavich fandom. every fandom has at least one fic everyone knows about for some reason and i'm really curious as to what the ones in this community look like and why they're popular

I've already read Cooperative Gameplay which was just like, The Fine Art of Falling for You, you'll never see us again, and some smaller ones but I was wondering if there were more or if people just had thoughts on them

personally i really liked the modern vibe of Cooperative Gameplay and how it had a good take on a dynamic that could've been really, really unhealthy. Like, at first glance, youtuber!mickey/fan!ian shouldn't of worked well? but it did and I liked it and it was beautiful

i can ramble about the other two as well but i could probably go on for a while so i wont for now

hi, yes! i love to talk fic. i am BEHIND on my current reading list, but there are certainly some that i'd consider fandom classics. and i encourage everyone to chime in with their own recs!

if you've read CG and FAFFY, then i hope you've also checked out these authors' other fics! they are also classics in their own right. gray has LRPD, and @goodkwuestion of course has TIPDIG among many others, and our lovely @spoonfulstar has ITQD.

here's a selection just a few more that are fandom classics to me! there are, of course, MANY MORE - including some newer favorites - but this is just a sampler to get the conversation started :)

our stubborn love

none the wiser

barricade

iron & blue

restoration

🎇 Happy New Year Friends!! 🎇

From the Diary of Virginia Woolf: January 2, 1931: Here are my resolutions for the next 3 months; the next lap of the year. To have none. Not to be tied. To be free & kindly with myself, not goading it to parties: to sit rather privately reading in the studio. Sometimes to read, sometimes not to read. To go out yes—but stay at home in spite of being asked. As for clothes, to buy good ones.

For today's return to WTW, i thought it might be fun to celebrate the ways in which we survive and manage to find peace and happiness in our one precious life here on Earth. And so...
