Welcome to Dimension 20 Description Dialogue Duos!

AKA: D203D or D20DDD

Are you looking to find the Chirp to your Squack? The Syd to your Barry? The Pete to your Kingston? Or perhaps even the Sofie to your Pete? Maybe you just really hate writing dialogue but love to write descriptions. Or you just really like Dimension 20 fan events. No matter what, D203D is at your service!

This event works by creating teams of two writers to collaborate on fics. One will be in charge of the descriptions and the other will be in charge of writing dialogue. All other details are up to the teams to decide!

If you want to join, please do the following 3 steps

Follow this page for updates

Keep your eye out for the mod application form coming soon!

Fill out this poll about which month works best for you! This poll will also function as an interest check, so even if every month works equally well, please still vote so I know people like my silly little idea!

Who Is Running This?

Hi! I'm The Patchwork Quilt (please call me Patch). I am a longtime fan of Dimension 20 and have participated in many other fan events. Most recently, I also helped mod the 2024 gift exchange! I love this community, am a certified description enjoyer but don't love writing dialogue so huzzah! Event!

You can find me @the-patchwork-quilt, @aelwyns-16-cats, and @/artistkitty on ao3

Thanks for engaging in my nonsense! I hope to see y'all soon

Dimension 20's Fanfic Masquerade*

Hello! Welcome to the intro post of the newest Dimension 20 event!

First, some background on why the event is happening:

I (@totallynotmeems) was a part of a fandom a couple years ago that did an event like this and it was a huge hit. Now, being fairly new to this fandom, I looked around for events and saw that there weren't as many as I was used to. Understanding that it takes a lot to organize one, and to get enough people with interest to participate, it makes sense that in a smaller fandom, there would be less events. So I thought I'd try to make one.

Second, what should you do: (if you are a writer)

You sign up (this is just so that we can figure out how many participants and contact you for updates about the event) on this form

We'll add your name to a spreadsheet and give you a link to join the discord server (this is currently the option winning this poll). You are not required to join, but highly encouraged to. If you need us to contact you on tumblr instead, please let us know when you sign up.

We'll post updates on how the schedule will go on this blog and the discord. (this discord isn't up quite yet, but will be soon)

On a date that hasn't been decided quite yet (we need to deliberate and vote on this once people have signed up) fics will need to be posted in a specific time span (probably a week to qualify). Directions on how to post the fic to the collection will be provided when they are needed.

Please remember to have fun! No writing requirements are currently active, so short and long fics are accepted! Just please make sure that the entire fic is done and posted before the posting week is finished!

Third, what should you do: (if you are a reader)

Feel free to join the discord server once it is up for updates!

Comment & kudos on the qualifying fics once they are posted!

Guess the author of the fics! (basically a ratfish scenario)

Best Guesser and Best Hider will be rewarded (with special roles in the discord server)

Most importantly, have fun and make sure you engage with the fics!

Note: Please contact me through this sideblog so everything stays organized. Asks will be open and so will DMs.

Sign-ups close April 5th!

Okay, this one is a bit odd, but bear with me. What if Lapin was one of Joren's partners, and thus one of Liam's many parents.

There are several spoilers for a Crown of Candy under the cut, proceed at your own discretion.

So my thoughts are that in this AU Lapin never messed with the SPF and thus isn't a Warlock, but I think he would make an awesome College of Lore Bard. That way he could still have access to fly at the sixth level and that he is a charisma based spellcaster. Basically Lapin would be getting magic by preserving the stories of the ancestral spirits of each of the different countries in Comida.

I personally think that he would have a special focus into the spirits of the Dairy Isles and the Sweetening Path. The Sweetening Path is obvious, given where he's from. The Dairy Isles is because they are Candia's allies and that they ate receptive to his work in a way that Vegetania for sure wouldn't be. He also occasionally goes over to the Meatlands, but not as much as the Isles.

I think that since Lapin visits the Dairy Isles so much he does get to know young Annabelle Cheddar and maybe Duchess Primsy. He grows close to them and is kind of a family friend. I think he would also be keeping his ears open for news on the Witch Queen of the Dairy Sea when whe grows more prominent. Maybe he is even pencils of sorts with Saccharina, but he doesn't know she is Amethar's kid, just that she cares for magic and that is something he can get behind.

Now Lapin's relationship to Joren, his other partners, and his kids is sort of complicated. He isn't dating many of Joren's partners. Just Spearia and maybe one other, an orange person, I think. But he does get on with all of them. He does have favorites of the children and Liam is up there, he might be the favorite, but Lapin does like some of the children that got married pretty well. Liam is for sure his favorite that still lives at home which is why he volunteered to go with him and Preston to Castle Candy to be Amethar's ward.

Lapin spends a good amount of time with Liam when he is at Castle Many-Licks. He spends time walking in the woulds with Liam and treats his scrapes and bruises with magic. He tells Liam bedtime stories after he has nightmares as well they are just pretty close whenever Lapin is home and when he isn't he sends many letters to Liam as well as his lovers.

Lapin is not widely known as one of Joren's partners as they aren't in a Bulbian marriage, but they aren't hiding it. So most people assume that Lapin is one of Joren's advisors or an ambassador to the Dairy Isles. So that is the guise he uses to go with Liam. He just pretends that he is there to help Liam learn and is like his personal tutor. Lapin likes to go under the radar and also it means that he Theo can snipe at each other freely. If Theo knew Lapin was partners with Joren you know they wouldn't be getting in those arguments.

So there are two ways I see this AU going. The first is pretty similar to the events of Canon, where Lapin still dies and all that but Liam is sadder and they have to explain the loss to Joren. So Liam sending Preston after Lapin is also a little more tragic because in this AU I headcanon that getting Liam a pig was Lapin's idea. Like Spearia wanted to get him an animal but didn't know which animal and Lapin suggest a pig that was known for rooting which was something that Liam was passionate about. So in the Cathedral both of Liam's ties to his home and childhood are effectively ripped away from him.

But everything else is relatively the same. Liam still runs into him and Preston in the SPF's lair post battle, that reunion is just a little more soft and them leaving is a little more sad. Also Saccharina finding out what happened to her kind penal might make it even harder to dissuade her from absolutely destroying the Bulbian Church, not that she doesn't have a good enough reason already.

The other way is more fun and I think it means everyone lives because they deserve happiness dammit! So my thoughts are that in the cathedral fight he still casts fly on Theo, but he could cutting words one of Keradin's attacks and survive that first round and then disengage with that fucking carrot. He could get in a mass healing word with a bonus action, that is if he retains concentration on fly on Theo. If he keeps concentration then Theo could come back and get him and they all get away from the cathedral. If he doesn't then he can cast fly on himself and they all get away from the cathedral.

I think that since they all survive, but Lapin did step in and take hits that were meant for Liam that he would keep close to his dad. And after they made it back to Castle Candy that if both he and Jet didn't want to go the the lingerie shop that Ruby wouldn't have gone and thus Jet lives. (They would still meet Cumulous during the attack on Primsy) The kids, Lapin, Theo, Cumulous, and Caramelinda all get out through the secret passages and meet Amethar at the base of the tower before totally slipping away to Manta Ray's ship.

They still meet Saccharina the same way, but she is met with a better reception because Jet is still alive. Ruby and Jet would be thrilled to have another sister and Saccharina is so cool. Amethar is happy to have another daughter. Caramelinda is still fairly cold, but you know her entire life had been turned upside down so I think she is allowed to be a little distant. Also Saccharina already has a friend amongst the party in Lapin. Also the other boys were happy enough to accept her in the campaign as it was.

The rescue mission for Joren leads to the rest of the party (apart from Liam) finding out that Lapin and Joren slam it down big style. (Theo practically implodes when he finds out that he was sniping at one of Joren's lovers.) I think this whole seen would be hilarious. (Also after the rescue Joren totally kisses Lapin in front of everybody.)

I think that everything else is pretty similar except that final battle goes by a little quicker and is more in their favor because of Lapin and Jet.

That's all folks!
