#year of the otp challenge

[tippenfunkaport]

I had this idea in my head last year but just could NOT conceptualize how to sketch the pose. So I decided to just kinda play around and BS my way through it which is how we got last year's attempt.

But one of the prompts for this year's OTP Christmas Challenge was mistletoe and it's been a year so I decided to revisit this idea to see if I could do a better job now. It's still not quite what I want it to be, but we seem to be getting somewhere.

I just had to write something for the blurb for your holiday event. Nothing else would do. Enjoy the beginning of Rhett's lack of gift wrapping ability. He tries, bless him.

wrap me up (working title)

Rhett comes into view as she walks to the couch, and so does an explosion of wrapping paper, ribbons, tape, and what looks suspiciously like silver glitter stars. “What are you doing?”

send a 🖋️ and i'll write a sentence for a WIP

[samm-writing-corner]

A pitch black trans man/fem vampire murder story.

Samm is wandering through the ancient woods trying to find the perfect spot to bury her latest victim. She freezes on the spot as she sees another murderer covering up a grave. And just like that she finds the ideal spot, someone to frame and Elliot, the buried trans man who's still breathing.

This is definitely a long time coming, but I finally wrote a text only fic for Sterek, complete with a stylized AND plain text view for reading! Also my first long fic that I've written since...I don't even know when (aka it's NOT a drabble or ficlet!!). This is also belated from July, but for reasons you can read more about below the cut. Inspired by @yearoftheotpevent's July prompt "stars," as well as sniperjade's Masturbation Midsummer Bingo 2023, using the square "I can't anymore," and Summer of Cum 2023 prompts "creampie," "come marking," "precome," "come swallowing," "coming untouched," and "coming in pants" (yeah, there's definitely a spicy theme here :P).

Title: Feel You Breathing (<- on AO3) Rating: Explicit WC: 8.4k Tags: Texting/Sexting, Established Relationship, UST, Porn with Feelings, Porn With Plot, Fantasizing, Teasing, Banter, Filthy, Dirty Talk, Masturbation, Idiots in Love, Writer Derek Hale, Bartender and Graduate Student Stiles Stilinski, Business Trip, Flight Delays, Coming In Pants, Coming Untouched, Nipple Play, Light Dom/sub, Bad Pick-Up Lines, Humor, Shopping, Sex Toys, Kink Exploration, Werewolf Mates, Anchors, Love Confessions, Pet Names, Romantic Angst, Stiles AND Derek are Little Shits, POV Alternating

Summary: Derek: So, you need a distraction. Stiles: Maybe Stiles: It’d be better if you were here to help me with that. Stiles: ;D [Or: Sexy things start late one night when Derek gets a text from Stiles and escalate from there. A few secrets are revealed along the way.]

Some of my lovely Sterek friends know I've been dabbling in and out of writing text fics since last year (2022). Easier said than done 1000%, I'm going to tell you that right now. It only took me 3 tries to get it right! (And yes, it means my other 2 WIPs need to be reworked, le sigh.) It's one thing to write a text fic, but it's a completely different beast to style the damned thing with AO3 skins while making it as legible and accessible as possible. I thankfully know how to code in CSS and HTML, but it took me quite a long time to create a custom skin template that I liked and could reuse while getting the look and feel just right for our idiotic boys and the overall Teen Wolf world. Texting and sexting is legit an art. There are so many ways to approach how to write a text because each person does that differently. There's also intention required when using emojis, figuring out how someone would react to things, and hell, even playing around with timestamps and timezones is important. A text fic isn't just about words. All the tiny details add up and make a new experience. I think I took a full week to QA this whole fic because I wanted the aesthetic to look good, and it was worth it! It was nice to make something for myself, which let me write dialogue and banter and a lot of fun things I normally wouldn't had this been a different kind of fic. Super grateful for having a Write-A-Thon sprint weekend, which motivated me to finish the bulk of this baby up. And when I think about it now, this labor of love was originally supposed to be an experiment for me to play around and learn more about coding intricacies. It was supposed to be a short Porn without Plot thingie (but uhhh, it's definitely Porn with Plot and Feelings because that's the way it is). 1-2k words somehow became 8k+ words. No regrets though. It has been a long time since I've felt good about writing something this long and doing something different than the norm. It has been such a blast coming up with all the texts in this fic, because they're humorous and spicy with the usual banter and sarcasm we love between Derek and Stiles. But hey, there's some romantic angst too (they might be texting and using words, but they could do better, of course). Anyway, I hope you give this a read when you have a chance. Enjoy!

2025 goals and plans

I have too many fic ideas that I need to get through before more come along T~T not to mention that we're half way through February and I may have forgotten to mention some of these

Some of the events I plan to participate in;

Finish what you started is happening in March and April, so I'm seriously gonna try to work on my WIPs

There's bound to be an event for Undertale's 10th anniversary, so I'm definitely going to do something for that!

a trick or treat exchange would definitely be fun to do!

I want to try out some shorts for AU-gust

Possibly Inktobertale if I don't scare myself, lol

Gyftmas again in December (it was super fun last year!)

possibly more if I find some that won't drive me crazy trying to do, lol

Fandom Bingo throughout the year

fanfic reading challenge throughout the year!!!

I am definitely participating in year of the OTP this year, featuring Burgerpants and Nice Cream Guy, so watch out for that if you're interested

I also have waaaaaay too many WIPs that I've stuffed at the back of my closet, so I'm gonna be trying to amend that before they get moth eaten, lol

a dust tale one shot I got asked to do a really long time ago

an extra bit for An Escort that I was inspired to write by a comment a while ago

I'm gonna rewrite An Escort too, lol

I'm gonna try and get back into Blood, Dust & Honey (though I may not necessarily post the chapters just yet)

I also, also have a couple of (simple enough that I shouldn't get derailed by them) ideas that I want to get out this year

a series of (papyrus-centric) romance stories with various soulmate AUs

I Call Shotgun! - a light hearted road trip story following Burgerpants, Nice Cream Guy, Catty, Bratty, and Mad Mew Mew that I should post in July, so hold me accountable people!

an exploration of imposter syndrome and insecurities in some of the Undertale cast

I think that's about it for now, although this list is probably subject to change throughout the year, lol

But otherwise, wish me luck, and happy writing everyone!

challenging myself - not a fandom related fic - not a long fic either.

prompts used: first kiss | "may I have this dance" | sharing clothes | Strong by One Direction

[sanchoyo]

reread Ekleipsis bc I got some very nice comments on it and wanted to revisit it 2 years later and u know what?? I think it still holds up p well! There are slight typos and parts I wish I could’ve lengthened, foreshadowed more, or gotten Deep into the lore/characters abt, but considering I was busting out a chapter a day and had it done in a dang month I do think it’s pretty good as a lil story!! Would love to do more art for it or revisit the world in some way some day. Babies first real Big Original work 🥺 in my mind it’s still kind of the first draft version, but I’m still proud regardless… ❣️

hello fan creators!

Year of the OTP is officially back for 2025 with a new set of prompts!

we've switched some of the prompt categories around in an effort to make the event more inclusive of all kinds of fanworks. we've also included song prompts this year! the playlist is on spotify here.

we want to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the last event - it grew so much larger than we ever expected and it's truly amazing how you all took our last set of prompts and made so many wonderful things. keep it up!

a couple housekeeping notes: we will not be reblogging every entry this year. mods will keep an eye on the blog if you have any questions, but the reblogs were too much last time. thank you for your understanding!

we will be closing the 2023 collection on December 31. thank you for your continued participation, but it's time to look forward!
