SKAM Fandom Masterlist!
Hi friends! Long time no see! Weāre breaking our hiatus temporarily for something we feel is incredibly important - to figure out how to reach each other in the SKAM fandom in case we need to.Ā In light of Tumblrās new āno adult contentā policy and the current uncertainty of fandomās future on this site, we thought it might be a good idea to put together a resource of where people in the SKAM fandom can be found off of Tumblr should anyone want or need to move off the site for any reason.Ā
Weāve set up a google form you canĀ fill out with as many social media accounts as you feel comfortable providing, and we will be providing access to a read only spreadsheet so we can all find each other easily!
HERE is the form.
HERE is the spreadsheet.
If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to our inbox!

One last announcement
Hi, everyone. This is a really big announcement for us to make and weāve been sitting on it for a while but we finally feel ready to share it with you all, so here it goes.
Some of you might know that a few weeks ago we announced that we were going on hiatus. This was so we could give ourselves some space and time to rest after months of maintaining a very demanding schedule, but it was also an opportunity to re-evaluate the future of this blog and what we wanted to do with it. After much discussion, we have decided to make the hiatus permanent. In other words, we will not be returning to work on this blog.
Before we go, though, there are some thingsĀ weād like to say to you all:
As one of the co-creators of the Binder, this project is incredibly important to me and honestly I find it absolutely amazing that itās come so far after over a year of writing fic recs and archiving fan content. My fellow co-creator Kathi (@hotchocolatenthusiast) and i could never have foreseen what this blog would become. Weād originally just wanted a space to be able to say nice things about the fics weāve loved, but for this blog to become the space to spread love and positivity that I believe it is now is more than we could have ever hoped for. I for one still find it mind-blowing that there are people out there who like and support what weāre doing, and I canāt thank you all enough for your enthusiasm for what weāve accomplished here. Truthfully Iām really sad that the Binder is finally coming to an end, but Iām so so grateful that itās been such a positive and wonderful experience for me and, hopefully, for you as well. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me; I canāt express how wonderful itās beenĀ to share my love for this fandom with you all. -Sarah
I just wanted to say thank you to all the amazing writers and readers in this fandom! Although I havenāt been part of this blog the whole time, Iām still so grateful for the opportunity Iāve had to spread some love for great writing. Itās truly been a joy to read so many wonderful stories about these characters and share that enthusiasm with other fans. Itās lovely to be part of such a talented and enthusiastic fandom and although this blog is ending, I know that the beautiful content will continue. Many thanks to everyone whoās supported this blog. āArin
The entirety of this blog will remain as an archive for as long as tumblr is around, probably. If you want to stay in touch with us, you can reach us on our personals at @canonicallyanxious (Sarah) and @arindwell (Arin).
And thatās about all weāve got. Thanks for everything, friends! Take care. <3
-Arin and Sarah

Hiatus Announcement
Hi everyone,
Some of you might remember that before the SKAM Fic Love Fest began, we announced that we would be taking a small break from writing fic recs. After some reflection, we have decided to extend this hiatus for about a month to get some much-needed rest. This means that for the next month or so we will not be releasing new fic recs or reblogging fan content. That said, our inbox is always open! If you need to reach us for some reason you can message us here or contact us directly on our personals, @canonicallyanxious and @arindwell.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, everyone! We hope to return soon.
-A + S

Skam fic love fest, day seven: people
Litteraly everyone Iāve interacted with in this fandom has been amazing and I feel like Iāve disocvered a new world. But if Iām going to name a few names, itāll have to be @nofeartina for answering my comments in such a sincere and friendly way, telling me to get a tumblr because it was āfunā. You were so right, bb! <3 @aimitis of course for being lovely and friendly and boosting my confidence - and of course for being an amazing co-writer <3 @skamskada for chatting away with me, making me feel welcome - thank you so much <3 @mynameisnotthepoint for volunteering to help me out with a translation - and then we just never stopped talking. I love discussing words and worlds and everything with you <3 And also @irazorĀ - weāve barely started and Iām already having so much fun!
And I canāt do one of these without mentioning all the Skandi-writers who are so supportive and always making a love-fest in the comments! Alt er love! <3

Skam Fic Love Fest (Day 7 | People)
There are so so many lovely people in this fandom, but today I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to the two incredible people over atĀ @evaksbinder, who are running this entire fest:Ā @canonicallyanxious and @arindwell !Ā
Yāall, I can definitively confirm that these two work SO hard to run the evaksbinder blog, and itās all out of their own free time, too! They do it out of the pure love for the fandom and for the fics of this fandom (and also because theyāre just generally wonderful people), and on top of it all, they even came up with this lovely event to celebrate the readers and writers in the fandom.Ā I know that for me personally, itās been so pleasant to scroll through my dashboard and see all the positive and sweet posts for fics all throughout this week. Itās brightened my week so much and Iāve very much enjoyed revisiting fics Iāve loved and discovering new fics to add to myĀ āto-readā list.
Fandoms are what they are because of what the people put into it, and these two have contributed so much into bringing more light and love into the skam fandom. This event would not be happening without you!
So, thank you so much, Arin and Sarah! You guys are so so great and I appreciate all that you do <3

Skam Fic Love Fest, Attempt #7
Fandom-ly speaking, Iām really late to the party. I think Iāve missed lots of drama and stuff, and I came here to find a group of people who peacefully interact with each other, support each other and create really impressive content, and itās lovely and heartwarming to watch from the sides. I donāt know if itās due to the fact that I randomly chose to follow the right blogs, but I donāt think I would have been brave enough to put myself out there in this fest if I didnāt feel surrounded by welcoming, gentle, intelligent people.
Thereās lots of really cool Skam blogs and I donāt think I could list them all, so Iāll just mention those I specifically look for in my dash to know what theyāre up to:
@skamskada because this blog is never boring
@towonderland72 because I sent an ask about special collections for a writing meme and in answer I received a new chapter, Iām still not over it
@tristealven the blog I turn to when Iām in need of beauty, in any form
@greathalesonfire because I light up whenever I see a drabble posted and because I have to restrain myself from reblogging everything with the tag ābitch me tooā
@bizexualrosadiaz this person is responsible for the edit Iāve been laughing about for like two weeks and I donāt plan on stopping anytime soon
@nofeartina because even the tags are entertaining
Hopefully in the future Iāll be able to support my favourite writers without needing a fest to blend in with the others. Meanwhile, thanks @evaksbinder for this opportunity.

SKAM Fic Love Fest | People
The last day of the Love Fest [@evaksbinder for details], andĀ weāre focusing on the amazing people of this fandom! I feel like i have to preface this post by saying i just came off a full day of travel and Iām not feeling my best, so I donāt think Iāll be able to execute my original plan for today =/ it would be a crime not to show the people who have made this fandom experience something I will never forget some appreciation though! So here we go! Iām gonna shout out just a couple friends who deserve some love!
@evakuality is a very old fandom friend and holds a very special place in my heart. I still canāt believeĀ āits been almost three years???? Weāve been through so much bullshit, but Iām so gladĀ weāre still here facing all the other bullshit together!! Not only are you one of my best fandom friends, but youāve also been one of the most supportive people when it comes to my writing. I canāt tell you how much it means to me; all i can really do is thank you for all that youāve done for me. <3
@call-this-a-mask + @hotchocolatenthusiast yāall arenāt very active in SKAM fandom anymore but i literally canāt think of this fandom without thinking of my friendship with you guys. I mean, your IMPACT, guys. Kathi co-founding the binder with me?? So many amazing AU ideas and hcs that came out of our cracky rambles??? Countless unforgettable conversations and memories???? This friendship has to be hands down one of the best things that has come out of being in this fandom for me, and I feel so very grateful that even though youāre not as into the show anymore you still keep me around lol. Not to be sappy on main [thatās my secret; iāM ALWAYS SAPPY] but this is a friendship for LIFE my dudes. I sincerely hope it stays that way. <3
@offbeat-leah can you believe weāve only been friends for a few months???? It feels SO MUCH LONGER than that, I canāt even express. Youāre one of the kindest most supportive people i know and itās amazing that I know without a doubt I can come to you about basically anything!!! I mean even beyond fandom stuff, I know Iāve bitched to you about basically everything under the sun lol. Iām really really happy we got to talking, itās so wonderful to know someone who I can relate to so, so much. Youāre wonderful and I love you. <3
@juilawicker I donāt get starstruck anymore when you talk to me lol but I havenāt yet outgrown the feeling that I am immeasurably lucky to know you and your talents and just YOU. Youāve got to be one of the most talented writers Iāve ever met in fandom, EVER, and I just know youāre going to do amazing and beautiful things with those talents. Even beyond that, youāre just one of the brightest, loveliest people I know!! Iām not exaggerating when I say every message I get from you puts a smile on my face. Youāre just THAT POWERFUL. Thank you for justā¦ being you honestly. The world is all the better for it. <3
@tristealven + @crazyheartfics + @kapplebougherĀ weāve also only been talking for a short while but I value the space weāve created for ourselves so much!!! I know this might sound kind of crazy but I actually really enjoy waking up to 200-300+ messages lol. Weāve had so much fun and I feel really lucky to know you guys! I hope we continue to talk long into the future!! <3
@skamz Iām just including you so I can publically call you out for your football AU. JK I LOVE YOU A LOT AND YOUāRE SO FUCKING NICE AND HILARIOUS AND JUST ALL AROUND A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING AND I LOVE TALKING TO YOU! I JUST NEEDED YOU TO KNOW THAT! KTHXBYE!!!! <3
Finally, @arindwell you deserve an essay of your own honestly. What can I even say? Esteemed co-mod of the binder, incredibly insightful beta reader who also puts up with so much with my bullshit itās unbelievable, and at this point one of my dearest friends here. I mean, wow. You are so many things all at once, and thatās so admirable to me. Itās honestly kind of rare to find a person you feel like you can be 100% yourself around and talk to about basically anything but you are definitely one of those people for me. Thank you so much, friend, for everything. <3

Skam Fic Love Fest, Day 7: People
I canāt thank my luck enough that Iāve managed to come across so many wonderful people here.Ā Iām sure there are so many more than I know personally that are just as awesome. But, here are some lovelies Iād like to thank for making this whole experience such a positive part of my everyday life.
@vesperthine, youāre such a cool and smart person, and itās kind ofĀ thanks to you that Iām here now, making this post. When I offered to beta for you last fall, it was the first step towards engaging more in the fandom, actually start talking to people and not just scroll around on tumblr and read fics. And, of course, to start writing myself. Thank you for betaing my fics, making them so much better and putting up with all my cheese. <3 And for trusting me with your wonderful, wonderful writing. It is an honor beyond words.
@nofeartina, youāre such an awesome and warm person. Thank you for being such a good friend, for helping me flesh out my (sometimes pretty fuzzy) fic ideas, and for listening to my complaints about literally everything. And for trusting me to beta for you, and well, just being you. <3
@champagneleftie, youāre such a nice, wise person and an amazing writer, and Iām so honored and happy that we wrote together this summer. It was so much fun, and you have the best ideas. Thank you for betaing my Swedish fics, and for being awesome in general.
And a big thank you to @skamskada for being so cool in general, for betaing for me, for Norway-picking my fics and for your wise thoughts on Stuff.Ā To @tristealven for screaming about cats with me, and for your warm heart. To @modestytreehouse, I look forward toā¦ do things with you. Ha ha! And to other people who always leave encouraging comments, here and on ao3, send me messages and make extra content; @mu-zi-light, @wehave4ever, @isakvaltrsen and many more.Ā
I feel like Iāve forgotten so many cool people (thatās the risk of making these things). But to everyone who likes my posts, give kudos and comments on my fics, or just read what I write. Thank you. <3

Skam Fic Love Fest: People
Writers: Do you have a beta reader youāre eternally grateful for? A devoted audience? A reader who left one comment that really touched you? Now is your chance to shine the spotlight on your amazing readers.
There are so, so many people I could mention here: the fellow writers I can brainstorm (and vent!) with, the readers who consistently comment on my fics, the people who leave incredibly nice tags on my drabbles, etc. But, I do have to shout-out one group in particular.
I know Iāve said this before, but I never thought that writing Expect the Unexpected would lead to finding a group of great friends I could watch Big Brother and Survivor with. During BB19, which was obviously terrible, I remember saying that I couldnāt wait to watch BBCAN6 together so we could watch a good season live, but I did wonder if everyone would lose interest by then. I kind of canāt believe that a full year later, some of us are still watching BB20 together, but Iām so grateful for it. This is the weirdest, most unexpected, best thing thatās come out fandom for me.Ā

day 7 - peopleĀ ā”
fandom isnāt much without people. and some people are just more suited for you than others.
and i donāt think my fandom experience would be as good as it is, if it wasnāt for the company and friendship withĀ @champagneleftie @skamskada @nofeartina @himmelskys @wherebluebirdssing. you inspire me, encourage me, i always feel like i can lean on you a little bit and iāve never had as much funĀ as i do with you! itās stunning, and you never fail to put a smile on my face with your antics when iām down. thank you so muchĀ ā”
and i can never thank @tristealven enough: you are so inspiring, thoughtful and wise. so, so wise. and that you wanted to betaread my fic, that time, it changed everything. we donāt talk on the daily, but i always love talking to you ā”
@irazor, youāre one of my favourite people ever. so amazingly upbeat, and i feel honoured that you let me betaread your fics (even if our thresholds for cheesiness are a bit different!) and so grateful whenever you take your time to look through mine. thank youĀ ā”
@mynameisnotthepoint you changed the translation game for me, and made me excited about writing again after a slump. thank you; you are the cutest, and i canāt thank you enough for all the work you put into ventsĀ and the icelandic fic ā”
then thereās all the people i donāt talk to, but i also see you, all my mutuals liking and replying and just making my little corner here such a pleasant one. thank you for sticking with meĀ ā”

Day 7 - People
Iām almost afraid to do this because Iām sure Iām gonna forget someone, and I donāt want people to feel left out. So sorry in advance if that happens. <3
Betas:
All of these people have made my fics infinitely better, and therefore my writing. Thank you so much for all your help. <3
@mornmerilĀ @maugurtĀ @champagneleftieĀ @skamskadaĀ @towonderland72Ā @irazor
Lovelies:
People who listen to me whine and moan about my writing, who makes my day better by just being them, who chatfics with me, who collabs with me, who screams with me about Skam, Tarjei, Henrik, Blank, Lovleg and whatever else strikes our fancy. Who does wordwars with me when I canāt concentrate, and are horrible, horrible enablers when I have a new idea for a fic. Who has made this fandom feel like a second home for me.Ā
I love you all. <3
@maugurt @fille-lioncelle @skamskada @champagneleftie @himmelskys @vesperthine @wherebluebirdssing @towonderland72 @irazor
