WIP WEDNESDAY 17/7/2024

I almost didn't do wip wed this week, but WHY NOT? I do have two other bangs I need to write for.

It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.

Here’s how it works:

In a reblog (or new post w/ rules attached), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write at least 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. If you tag me in your post, I will send you an ask request!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

Soft-tagging (no pressure if you don't have the time!): @eriquin, @spectrum-spectre, @medusapelagia, @augustjustice

@formosusiniquis @berenwrites @devondespresso

NSFW snippet from mer!steve:

The longer Eddie stares, the nervous Steve becomes, the more intense his squirming.

Finally, he snaps, letting his mean girl out, a little bit, as a treat.

“Well? Are you going to do something, or just stare at it?”

“Give a man a moment to bask!”

A lightbulb went on in Steve’s head.

“You’ve never ---”

“No, I’ve never.”

“Oh.”

“Oh.”

Eddie continued staring.

“You don’t have to,” Steve said. He was getting a bit uncomfortable.

I already posted into the comm, but as this is the last completely feral one, how could I not jump in?

My wips this week are:

Snippet from stsapphicbb2024:

It felt like they were waiting, but for what, Chrissy couldn’t have said.

Until there was a small meow.   

“Did you hear that?” Chrissy had to ask. She knew there were things she heard but Robin and Steve didn’t, she had spooked them both a few times in the first few days, that she remembered, at least. But this time she was pretty sure she’d heard what she’d heard.

“A meow? Yeah. Where is it?”

WIP Wednesday Game

PLEASE READ:

This is the last completely feral WIP Wednesday Game. We now have a community to play in, where folks can post their weekly games (or post separately and reblog into the community). Although I will continue to make this post at least through the end of July, I will no longer be pinging folks, you can join the community and will receive notifications there. Please read the rules before posting, as they’re SLIGHTLY different to work within a community.

As of today, member join requests still have not been coded into communities, so membership is by invite only. Please send me an ASK if you want to join- DO NOT REPLY TO THIS. I may or may not see a reply/mention/etc, or I may see it and forget it exists 5 seconds later. Asks I will see, and only delete once I have sent the invite, so your request will not be lost.

Snippet (under cut)from stsapphicbb2024:

Maybe it was a little shocking, but it was her breaking away from the old her, the image that had controlled her life for so long. She had always secretly envied the so-called outcasts in school, hidden her admiration of punks and goths in magazines. Part of that was because it was rebellion agains her mother, of being something completly different and removed from what she was supposed to be, part her own wants and desires.

She wanted to rebel, be loud and shout her aliveness, her survival, her strenght. She may not have escaped Vecna, but she had saved herself, dug her way out, even if she didn’t know how, why or from where the spark for it had come.

”What color?”

Robin asked.

”Pink, right?” Steve asked, sounding a little sad even as he smiled. She didn’t know how she knew, but she felt like his smile was forced.

WIP Weekend

I wasn't officially tagged by anyone this week, but I have got to get some work done this weekend so I'm jumping in!

The Rules:

In a reblog (or a new post w/ rules attached) post up to five (5) file names of your wips. Not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can’t share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. If you tag me in your post, I will send you an ask request!

The WIP:

Labyrinth AU (Steddie Bang)

And that's it, just the one it's the illusion of choice. Snippet and a tag list below the cut

She mutters something into the feathered crown of the bird that isn’t his. Something that sounds like it ends in ‘so fucking stupid’ but deciphering the what becomes a lot less important when she asks, “Do you want to see where he’ll be recuperating?”

“Yeah! Can I?” his fingers tap the desk in a rhythm he can’t place, nervous energy expending out of himself and into this weird liminal space. Dart had been a stray and Ma had saved Mews from the Walmart parking lot; they'd never adopted anything that hadn’t made its way to them first. He is his own third example that proves the Munson way.

Maybe all animal shelters were like this. Large empty lobbies with big desks that block off access to their single mysterious doors. Buildings that weren’t concerned with things like electricity bills, the air on high enough that it’s got every hair on Eddie’s body currently standing on end: goosebumps down his arms, the hair at the back of his neck is on end.

“Great,” she smiles. There’s something off putting about it, like the mouth that she’s got doesn’t fit right on her face. A grin cut out of a magazine and pasted on a different picture.

No pressure tags: @cauldronoflove, @augustjustice, @eriquin, @aparticularbandit, @lingeringmirth, @sevenmerrymagpies, @fuctacles, @adhdavinci + anyone else who is looking for an excuse to be productive

For WIP Wednesday:

stsapphicbb2024

It was her face, but she didn’t think her mother would have recognized her, and, if she had, she would have been appalled and derisive and hateful.

She had come back stronger, overcoming her fears and doubts, it didn’t matter any longer if she was pretty or not. She was strong and that was enough for her.

There were scars on her face now, not a lot but enough to be noticeable, the blueish shadows under her eyes persisted no matter how much she rested. And wasn’t that a novelty? Being able to sleep as much as she wanted without anyone coming to yell at her for it and calling her lazy.

She could have sworn that her eyes were sometimes iridescent in the right light, their blue a little too bright, just a smidge too blue, if such a thing was possible. What had Robin said? Preternatural, but pretty.

If only she could call Robin pretty in the way she meant it but had never been allowed.

Make me write?

[lingeringmirth]

stsapphicbang pls?

“I… No, sorry.”

She saw the look Robin and Steve shared, after which an almost manic grin spread over Robin’s face.

“That’s fine, absolutely fine! Who likes porridge anyway?”

She felt a little bit ill, her stomach was cold, her skin clammy.

She tried resisting it, but even that one spoonful ended up in the toilet-bowl, leaving her feeling wretched and crying, because it wasn’t fair.

MAKE ME WRITE?

[lingeringmirth]

oooo the st sapphic bang for wip weekend pretty please!!

Chrissy swallowed, her need to be polite and to please making her plaster a smile on her face. “Nothing.”

“It’s not nothing. Is it not good?”

She’d swallowed the porridge down and it sat like a stone in her stomach, her mouth still tasted like ashes and unthinkable things. Actually, shouldn’t she be honest? This was her second chance, wasn’t it?

MAKE ME WRITE?

[lingeringmirth]

ST Sapphic BB :)

Robin brightened up. ”We can….” She cut herself off with her mouth snapping shut and shared a look with Steve.

He looked uncomfortable and ran a hand through his hair, messing it more than it already was. It had been strange seeing him without his hair done, it felt intimate somehow. ”We shouldn’t.”

Chrissy really wanted to. She hadn’t been anywhere but the house, the quarry and the woods after she’d been found by them, she just wanted to go somewhere.

”We can put a hoodie on her. No-one’ll know it’s her!”

Steve grabbed Robin at that and dragged her fruther away to have a furiously whispered argument, of which Chrissy heard every single word and wished she didn’t. He didn’t say anything nasty or imply she was untrustworthy, but it was just the fact that she could hear the private conversation. She’d heard some of their nightly talks after they’d all went to sleep and felt dirty over it.

”I can stay here and you can go,” she offered.

”We’d have to drive all the way to Indy for it,” Robin said. ”It’ll take a while.”

Make me write?

Snippet from steddieBB2024:

Where am I?

Steve struggles up, driven by a sudden sense of urgency, to get up, to be moving, to help. He gasps and scrunches his eyes shut as pain lances through his skull at the movement, at the too-bright lights.

‘Hey, whoa, easy, let the IV be where it is, yea?’

There are hands on him, halting his movements, his body feels wrong, somehow, too heavy, misaligned. There’s a pain shooting along his right arm, making him gasp. Something tugs in his left hand, stings.

Who?
