2, 3, And 12 For The Ask Game Please!

2, 3, and 12 for the ask game please!

2. What character did you start liking because of someone else? I answered this one here!

3. What do you love about fanworks in the fandom?

The wealth and breadth of talent. It's amazing how so many people can read the same character's actions and get completely different stories out of them. Fluff and angst and death and life and crazy geese leading you to your soul mate. Also I love the collaboration that goes into stories. The questions in the Discord that turn into meme-level conversations that somehow turn into fantastic fics. It's amazing.

12. What's your favourite fanwork of yours?

Of my own? It shifts around a lot. For sheer prettiness I love This Momentary Blue. But if I'm being 100% honest, it's The Bad Guy. I gave Lucas an unusual history that required some research (my favorite), but also, just everything about that story makes me laugh. It's vile, it's amoral, the sex is filthy, and the characters are irredeemable assholes. I have a great love of writing horrid people but because I generally write love stories, I don't get a chance to write complete wastelands of humanity. So that one is fun.

Thanks @queen-of-boops for the ask!

It deffo needs a reblog. @longbobmckenzie, @queen-of-boops, @mrsbsmooth, @operationnope

Me and my mutuals rebloging the same post

Writing is a stray cat yowling at your back door until you let it inside.

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

Marshall to Rora 🤣

The Sweetest Sting

I'm sure it means absolutely nothing, but I'm still choosing to take it as a TSIME shout out 😆

LITG Fanfiction Prompt Competition

As many of you know, over on the r/LITGFanFiction subreddit we run a monthly oneshot prompt competition. Over the 3 years we've been doing this, we've seen some absolutely incredible fics come out of it, and it's always a blast!

Whether you've written fanfiction before or you're a complete newbie, we'd love to have you participate! Simply write a oneshot under 7500 words using the prompt provided, post it to AO3 by the end of day on the 21st of the month, and submit the link in the subreddit post. Then enjoy reading the other submissions and voting for your favourite!

For December, the prompt is:

Write a fic centred around a holiday season

It can be using any LITG characters from any season. A holiday party hosted by Chelsea? A holiday trip? Simply a cute fluffy scene with your favourite LI? A whole Hallmark-inspired Christmas story where someone goes back to their hometown and falls in love with the local baker? The options are endless!

Happy writing - hope to see you on the subreddit soon!
