Curling up, I was thankful for Dally’s jacket. It was too big, but it was warm. Not even the rattling of the train could keep me awake, and I went to sleep in a hoodlum’s jacket, with a gun lying next to my hand.

welcome to the second challenge: greaser girl week!

the theme

the theme for this is focusing on works involving the canonical greaser girls (and women, as this extends to the parents!) from s. e. hinton's works. the challenge is to write about them, with a minimum of 2k words within the set time frame.

rules for works

as stated, these challenges are meant for all of s. e. hinton's books, tim hunter's adaptation of tex and the two coppola films. characters and plots from the television show and the musical aren't applicable. you can do crossovers with hinton canons for this as well! (ie: you can cross over tex and hawkes harbor but you cannot submit a work involving any musical or television version of canon or any characters found solely in those canons.)

you can submit works involving OCs, but OCs cannot be the sole main focus. ie, you can submit a work involving a Sylvia/OFC but you can't submit a work that only involves the OFC without any canon greaser girl present or prominent in the work.

this challenge is also only for participants who are 18+. i will vet everyone who wants to participate; that's why it's semi-public. if you're underage, you will not be allowed to participate and i reserve the right to deny participation if harassment or bad behavior occurs.

entries must hit the minimum for 2,000 total words since this is character focused. when i say that, i mean if you want to write three separate one shots, all three would have to add up to 2k or more in word count. or if you wanted to do drabbles or longer pieces, they still need to hit the 2k minimum total when they're submitted. you aren't obligated to write one whole piece that is 2k — all you need to do is get there whether it's over one work submitted or multiple.

yes, you may submit multiple works! just please submit them and then post them during the week of posting.

as stated elsewhere, your works will not be policed. that means that if someone writes a ship or tackles are more controversial subject or has a rating higher than T/PG-13, your works are fine and allowed. the only thing that is required is that you tag appropriately and rate appropriately on AO3 and you treat fellow people who are involved respectfully.

do not post your works until posting week! i understand you might get antsy, but please wait until submission week.

timeframe

signup open june 10th, 2025 and close june 19th, 2025. all i require for sign up is your tumblr url, your ao3 user, the idea you have and the greaser girl you intend to focus on. that's it. once you sign up, you can more or less begin to write unless i have a follow up question/clarification.

mid-way check in. since this is a shorter we'll have a check in around june 24th to see how things are going. this is going to be a tumblr post with responses, and maybe shooting a message.

challenge close date and posting week. fics are to be posted starting at july 1st, and will go on until the 8th. i'll be posting and promoting them, adding them to the ao3 collection if you haven't done yourself (please make sure your account is open for collections!). please feel free to comment others, give encouragement and engage.

if you have any other questions, please hit up the ask box!

"you can't headcanon sodapop curtis as trans! that's inaccurate, plus it'd never be canon!" y'know...maybe that's the point?

Johnny Cade & Dallas 'Dally' Winston

from The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton

submitted by @specialagentartemis who said:

The author got mad on twitter when people suggested there was something gay between them and I think that's all the evidence u need

[dem0lition-lov3r]

Happy Outsiders week! 💋

[bubblegumflavor]

"But one night I saw Dally gettin' picked up by the fuzz, and he kept real cool and calm the whole time. They was gettin' him for breakin' out the windows in the school building, and it was Two-Bit who did that. And Dally knew it. But he just took the sentence without battin' an eye or even denyin' it. That's gallant." ~Johnny Cade (S.E. Hinton - The Outsiders)

💙🤎 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALLAS WINSTON 🤎💙
