SPREAD THE WORD! ZINE, PLEASE! IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE OUR UPCOMING THIRD VOLUME!

The third volume you've all been waiting for is here! Following the success of our previous two volumes, the Zine, Please! team is proud to announce we'll be bringing you another volume full of Check, Please! goodness made by the fans for the fans!

As with our previous iterations, this will be a multi-month affair, with sign-ups happening in October 2024, check-ups happening throughout the process, and the zine being published in free PDF format in June 2025.

This volume's theme is.... #TripleTrouble!

'Swawesome things come in threes! For this volume, we want you all to explore the shenanigans, celebrate the triumphs, and dive into the inner workings and dynamics of all your favorite Check, Please! trios!

There's endless trios to choose from, some more familiar than others. I mean, who can forget the most iconic canon trios? We're talkin' Ransom, Holster, Lardo! We're thinkin' Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot! We're screeeamin' Chowder, Dex, Nursey!

If you're willing to go outside the box, think about trios you'd love to see together who the fandom hasn't seen! Who among us is brave enough to put the Jack's Type Trio of Bitty, Camilla, and Kent in a room together? Hell, we could even take a dive into Deep Fandom Lore that OG fans may remember with the No Chill Trio of Lardo, Nursey, Kent.

Be it everyone's faves with polyfrogs, tadpoles content, or unlikely trios we'd all kick and squeal about, it's all welcome for this volume!

Gather your fave Check, Please! trios, go forth, and wreck havoc with #TripleTrouble!

Positive Feedback | 1,602 | jedusaur / @jedusaur

Summary: Eric’s never had a postgame breakdown of sex before, but he’s not particularly surprised when, before they’ve even caught their breath, Jack says, “Tell me how I can do better.”

blaspheme | 1,811 | kirkaut / @kirkaut

Summary: It’s not that Bittle doesn’t swear. It’s more that Bits doesn’t swear as much as the rest of them, Jack thinks. Bittle swears for emphasis, carefully picking and choosing when to drop a curse into his sentence, just to pack a little punch in whatever he’s saying.

if there's anything on my face you put it there | 2,132 | jedusaur / @jedusaur

Summary: “You don’t have to tell them it was me. I mean, you don’t have to do anything. I’ll stop leaving marks if you want me to. Just..." He lifts up Jack’s shirt and touches one of the hickeys. When he looks back up, his eyes have gone dark. “I really, really like it. Do you mind?”

(see more recommendations below!)

Good Boy | 2,231 | annundriel / @annundriel

Summary: Bitty knows Jack likes to be on his knees. He just didn't realize how much.

Part of the Orientation Package | 2,409 | garden of succulents (staranise) / @star-anise

Summary: Eric can't believe that he just got propositioned on a hookup app on his very first full day at Samwell, but he's not questioning the good things that come his way.

my heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck | 2,771 | theladyingrey42 / @thefangirlingrey

Summary: He can't believe they're finally doing this.

Distraction | 3,053 | rockinhamburger / @rockinhamburger

Summary: It starts with a fruit basket.

Three Points | 3,055 | kiwoa (Rinoa)

Summary: Settling his grip just above the muted curve of Bitty's hips, Jack squeezes. "Better." Bitty coughs out a laugh. "Glad you're satisfied." "Almost satisfied," Jack says. "I still have my shirt and socks on." "Good," Bitty says, and he leans to press them together, forehead to forehead, chest to chest with only cotton worn thin between them. "I like you like this. It's cute."

got bruises on my knees for you | 3,118 | jacksbits (fragilehuge) / @jacksbits

Summary: “Oh, honey, you don’t have to do that,” Bitty says, automatically. “That has to be hell on your knees.”

surrounded by your embrace | 3,200 | tiptoe39 / @tiptoe39

Summary: Boys doing things in the basement in July.

Tongue Tied | 3,384 | justaphage / @justaphage

Summary: Indeed, Jack had missed Hazeapalooza his first year on purpose, and the next two years it seemed either no one remembered he had missed out, or no one wanted to challenge their Captain. Either way, Jack had been okay with that before. At this particular moment though, he’s wishing he had gotten this out of the way some other time. Yes, he was aware that this was a thing that gets him, but if literally anyone but stupid, fucking perfect, Eric Bittle was the one to tie his hands, things would have been much less—um—exciting.

Love On Top | 3,405 | angelsaves / @angelsaves

Summary: Bitty's maple-sugar baking experiment goes even better than he planned: a 'swawesome afternoon at the Haus

can't breathe with these words in my mouth | 3,559 | robokittens / @robokittens

Summary: There are reasons he doesn't usually come down for the parties: people, mostly, and alcohol. But there's a reason he has, this time, and that reason made four dozen cookies earlier and is currently pressed up against his side.

worried about nothing | 3,914 | sarcasticfishes / @ebonybow

Summary: “What’s your name?” Jack asked again, between one kiss and the next. “Bitty,” the guy said. Jack had to hold back an incredulous laugh. “That sounds fake, but ok…”

never could be sweeter than with you | 5,024 | sarcasticfishes / @ebonybow

Summary: Eric came to a halt, finally noticing what was draped over the bare, stripped mattress. He frowned, picking it up. A jacket.

lost and found | 5,263 | wit / @parvuls

Summary: Jack loses a toy and needs help getting it back. The only person he thinks to ask is Bittle.

In Focus | 6,097 | sparklyslug / @sparklyslug

Summary: Jack's just taking pictures whenever he sees something worth photographing, something that seems to fit what he's being told in class, about line and shape and color and beauty. It's like the camera knew before Jack did.

Oh What A Feline | 7,518 | MapleleafCameo / @mapleleafcameo

Summary: Shitty convinces Jack they need a cat. Jack is dubious. Bitty is a little shit. As most cats are. And he's not all he seems.

naked ambition | 8,249 | asfroste / @asfroste

Summary: It’s one thing for Bitty to have a pathetic secret crush and maybe occasionally get off to vague thoughts of Jack-shaped people with blue eyes, and another, completely wrong thing, to actually jerk off to naked pictures of Jack Zimmermann.

It's a Lovely Day | 8,289 | PorcupineGirl

Summary: When a thunderstorm knocks out power in the Haus, Bitty somehow finds himself kneeling in front of a wet, naked Jack Zimmermann. In the dark.

Positive Image | 10,436 | twentysomething

Summary: When Bittle first showed up at a meeting with management, sitting next to Sara with wide, scared eyes, Jack didn't think he had a chance in hell. Sara hired new assistants all the time, most of whom barely made it through a season.

You Never Said You Wouldn’t So Here I Am | 10,656 | emmagrant01 / @emmagrant01

Summary: Eric just wants to get past this crush, but Jack keeps getting in the way.

shakes my tree, sticks to me by esterbrook

3 Part Series | Rated E + G | Total Words: 4,455

Part 1 Summary: Jack hasn't touched Bitty since graduation. That was six weeks and four days ago. Yes, he's been counting.

Love At One Night Stand by orphan_account

4 Part Series | Rated M + G | Total Words: 10,901

Part 1 Summary: “Kiss me,” Eric blurted, and lord he wished he could have blamed it on being drunk. And maybe he was, in a way. Drunk on Jack’s gaze, and his grin, and the way his hand was so, so warm against his skin. “I mean…um…” “Okay,” Jack whispered, and his fingers uncurled to palm Eric’s cheek, thumb brushing along the corner of his mouth before his head dipped in low, and their lips met.

Sledge Hockey by orphan_account

3 Part Series | Rated G-E | Total Words: 53,965

Part 1 Summary: When Eric Bittle gets the invite to not only join a sledge hockey team, but to live with several of the members after he's diagnosed with MS, he's a little hesitant. He wants to keep as much of his life as he can--his job, his independence, and his hobbies. But figure skating is impossible now with his nerve damage, so this may be the only way he can stay on the ice. And it all seems pretty great. If only the hockey captain didn't hate his guts…

i have no idea what the hot to go dance is but i am positive alexei and i will kill it ^_^

QUICK! THINK OF A CHECK PLEASE CHARACTER.

First one that comes to mind -- got it?

Great.

Spin this picker wheel of random shenanigans.

The person you thought of is stuck in the scenario with you. You have to work together to solve/survive whatever situation you're in.

[transwicky]

Wait wait ok Coach Hall and Coach Murray aren't married.

They're together but not married.

The kids all THINK they're married, they just got that vibe (it's the years they've been together), but during Y4 of the comics, Louis finds out that this is NOT true and is HORRIFIED.

Because the others have all been getting them fucking wedding anniversary cards, and he and the other waffles did too bc their coaches are SWAWESOME and deserve to be shown they're thought about.

He does a mass text and Bitty puts it in SMH like "WE FUCKED UP" or something.

Ollie and Wicky are laughing bc they're the only ones who didn't get them a wedding anniversary card. They knew they weren't married. They knew bc they specifically asked their freshman year

Hops asks them why they're not married.

They make up some bullshit on the spot like "haha just so busy!" But the truth.

The truth.

Is they never realized they could. Yeah, they knew it was legal now and all but they never realized "oh hey we specifically can get married now"

It just never fucking occurred to them.

Lardo rocks up to graduation with the forms they need for it. Just bc she knew they wouldn't do it, and she REFUSES to let them not be married (she knew the excuse was bullshit).

Murray laughs after she slaps the paper at Hall's face and he sees what it is. Coach Hall just sputters in embarrassment as she tells him to "make an honest man out of Coach Murray already!"

Continuing the story in the tags:

Out of Context Lines

Thanks for the tag @ohyoufool! I have broken through the writers block a teeny bit, so I actually have something to share.

The Rules: If you're tagged, make a new post and share one or two sentences (or lines for artists) from your most recent unposted WIP with zero context.

Mashkov, however, who had seemed like an indefatigable ray of sunshine, has been posting increasingly melancholic poetry snippets plastered on moody landscape backgrounds to his stories.

Standings on Train Tracks Standings on Train Tracks She was obviously standing on the train tracks down on White Rock, and I thought, fuck, if that train comes, they're screwed. There's no way the train was going to win on that one. So with that said, everybody, I grew up in North Burnaby, so I'm local for the most part, and we never know if it's Twawesome or Swawesome. He's looking at me like, just don't call me Surrey, asshole. Burnaby Burnouts, yes. Burnaby North, and when they got sick of me, they sent me over to Alpha, and then they got sick of me and sent me to Central, and I said, all right, let's finish this shit up. #ukraine #zelenskyy #war #humour #comedy #laughs #standup #standupcomedy #comedians #standwithukraine #putin #putinisajoke #military #armedforces #humor #laughs #canada #benefitshow #jokes #netflixisajoke #liveperformance   @DI_Ukraine @DefenceU @ZelenskyyUa @KyivIndependent #netflixisajoke #verantwoordelijk #Turkey #Romania #Estonia #Portugal #Germany #SecurityCouncil #NATO #PeteHegseth #JDVance #JustinTrudeau #Meetings #NATOAllies #natomeeting #NationaldefenseMinisters #NationaldefenceMinisters #ministersmeeting #UnitedStates #UnitedKingdom #onlinedating #onlinerelationships #trains #netflixisajoke #verantwoordelijk #Turkey #Romania #Estonia #Portugal #Germany #SecurityCouncil #NATO #PeteHegseth #JDVance #JustinTrudeau #Meetings #NATOAllies #natomeeting #NationaldefenseMinisters #NationaldefenceMinisters #ministersmeeting #UnitedStates #UnitedKingdom

Fanfic guessing game: hmmmm

What's more likely, hockey? Roof? Pie? Let's go with... freckle! 🧡

@hazmatilda

Not... a single... freckle! :O

---

Roof - only from already posted fics!

Nursey and Ford fic

“I will actually fight you,” she tells him. 

“Who’re you gonna fight?” Chowder climbs out onto the roof and squishes between Ford and Nursey. 

“Nursey,” she tells Chowder as he drapes his arm around her shoulders and she leans into him.

Nurseydex fic

Derek smiled, the tiniest hint of embarrassment in his eyes. “I… definitely was thinking that, you’re right. Okay, but now you’ve promised me a dance, you can’t back out.”

“Wouldn’t want to. How did you find this place, anyways?” Will asked, looking around at the decorated rooftop bar. “I don’t even think there was a sign on the street for it.”

---

Pie - from a 9-1-1 and omgcp crossover I'm working on (the brain rot is real)

“Thanks Bobby!” Derek shoots a smug smile at Dex. “Dex has been telling me how good your cooking is. Makes me miss college, we had a roommate - well, hockey captain - who was an amazing baker. Can make basically anything, but pies are his favourite. Dex makes a passable copy of his pie.”

Dex snorts loudly. “Passable copy - see if I save any pie for you next time.”

”Bitty will make sure I get pie,” Derek says haughtily. 

“Not when I tell him you’ve been denigrating his baking tutelage.”

”Double fine for the hypocrisy and the five dollar SAT words.”

Dex rolls his eyes. “Make a note, I’ll pay it later.”

---

Hockey - from the same crossover fic in progress

“NURSEY! DEX!” They run towards each other and collide in a laughing blur of teal and black. “You made it ohmygod I’m so happy to see you it’s been AGES. Were you texting Farmer? Did you like the seats?”

”Dude, the seats were ’SWAWESOME, we could see every save!” Derek enthused. “We sent Farmer so many photos of you - well, your hockey butt anyways,” he gives Chow an exaggerated wink.

[mimikyufriend]

gonna start saying swawesome unironically

[zim-tits]

hope ur bday is SWAWESOME hehehehehe ❤️

Happy birthday to my brother in all things polyfrogs, @atlasthemayor !!

i drew da boys just for u 😘 (chowder and dex are so easy to dress, idk why nursey makes it so difficult for me dkjfh)

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: Knees up of Chowder, Nursey, and Dex standing together on a white background. Nursey, wearing a long sleeved pale mustard shirt with thumb holes, a dark blue puffy vest, a thin green scarf, and dark wash jeans, has his arms thrown around the others’ shoulders and is leaning in between them with a grin. Chowder, wearing a sharks zip up hoodie and medium wash jeans, smiles back easily, hand grasping on to Nursey’s over his chest. His mouth is open around the smile, likely in the middle of infodumping and refusing to be interrupted by surprise affection. Dex, wearing a red plaid flannel with sleeves rolled to the elbow open over a white tee shirt, light wash jeans, and an analog watch, has one hand in his pants pocket and the other gripping Nursey’s wrist. He is half turned towards Nursey, teeth bared as if going to scold him for his clinginess, but is fighting a smile and losing. /end ID

[transwicky]

Tango didn't know the man who walked into his family's restaurant would be different from the others who'd come in. "You're a Wellie?" Okay, he's different. or: John Johnson and Tango meet, John says something stupid to Ollie and Wicky, Tango agrees to go along with it, and Ollie and Wicky know they're full of shit, but still root for them.

(fic beginning under the readmore)

They met in the small town Tango grew up in, in the family restaurant Tango had been working in since he was, like, five years old.

Okay, not really since he was five, but he’d just been watching from a booth as his family ran around taking orders and all, so he basically was!

Either way, a man a few years older than Tango came in, while he was cleaning up a table, and he heard his uncle shout for him, telling him there’s someone to be seated.

And the restaurant is really casual, alright? As in, Tony is wearing his Samwell Men’s Hockey sweater, because it’s raining out, and he’s cold, and his uncle rolled his eyes and let him.

And people had been commenting on his sweater all day, so when he went to go seat the guy at the front, he wasn’t surprised by the-

Oh, okay, that look was definitely different.

“You’re a Wellie?” The man asked, and Tango blinked.

“Uh, yeah. I got one more year left.” He said, and the man grinned.

“’Swawesome.” He said, “John Johnson, I was-”

“The goalie before Chowder! Yeah, yeah, they all mentioned you!” Tango said, lighting up.

He got to meet the hella weird goalie, as Chowder had called him, and he was so fucking pumped, okay!?
