this week's word is...

We've done this one before, back in 2021, but it's a good word.

Once upon a time, in 2023 to be exact, a pair of friends decided to host a fairytale-themed bang. It would welcome all fandoms and probably be quite small! Or so they thought.

A year passed and the bang turned out to be much larger than either of them had anticipated, with close to 100 authors signed up! The two friends rolled up their sleeves Cinderella-style and searched fandomland far and wide for artists.

As the months passed and the event grew closer to artist match-ups, many of the authors chose to take a different path, leaving 42 who needed partners for the ball bang. A group of 26 brave artists claimed the lot, many of them illustrating for fandoms they'd never heard of.

The authors and artists worked their creative magic. And then one day, it was time to post! For three weeks, they shared their new creations with the world, and this event that had been two years in the making came to an end. But a happy one.

To our incredible authors and artists, thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Until next time.

A Passionate Shiver Expectant: A Tale of the Snow Queen

Written by spaceisgay (ChancellorGriffin) & illustrated by @blindswandive An original fiction story inspired by The Snow Queen

Henrik and Zora have been best friends since birth, and now their parents expect them to marry; though with no real understanding of what it entails (respectable people do not talk of such things), they can't say they're particularly excited by the thought. But when the dangerously alluring Snow Queen whirls into town one cold winter night and ensnares the naive, bookish Henrik, both their lives change forever. Kept as her new favorite pet in her glittering ice palace at the very top of the world, Henrik finds life at the Snow Queen's court unexpectedly . . . educational.

Meanwhile Zora sets out on a perilous quest to find him, aided along the way by all sorts of colorful characters who can't resist her wide-eyed innocence, and finds herself learning many interesting lessons of a similar kind. But can she battle her way through sinister forests, towering mountains and frigid wastes to save Henrik before the Snow Queen's icy kisses stop his heart forever? And even if she does, will they find their horizons have been expanded too far by their journeys to fit back into the confines of the village they left behind?

Every night, he sits upon the forest's tallest cliff and sings to his audience of two: the Queendom's prince, Fogado, and the unblinking eye of the moon. But one night, when Fogado attempts to catch a glimpse of him, Alcryst panics, and tragedy strikes.

In desperation, he turns to the Divine Dragon for help, and an agreement is struck. If he can guide the blinded prince through the Brodian Woods to her, she will restore the prince’s eyesight. Thus, a bittersweet journey begins — one filled with romance, tragedy, and lies upon lies upon lies…
