Two weeks till the Masquerade!

Pay For The Sight (of a lover underneath you)

Author: gala_apples

Rating: Explicit

Status: Completed, Mai 2020

Words: 5,442

Summary: In one world Mickey convinced Ian to blackmail and lightly beat a closeted guy to get the hush-money for Svetlana. In the next one over, a different solution was found.

Tags: Season 4, Canon Divergence, Exhibitionism, Closeted Character, Homophobia, Sex Work, Blow Jobs, Bathroom Sex, Rough Sex, Poor sex ed

Instead of beating up the rich guy in the hotel room, Ian and Mickey get paid to have sex in front of him. The story barely focuses on the other guy, instead exploring S4 Mickey falling in love with Ian, his aggressive fondness and protectiveness, all while he (not yet completely) settles in his sexuality and his slight submissivness. A criminally underrated fic that does S4 Mickey and Ian justice. Impeccable characterization. Do you miss S4 Mickey? Give it a read.

Gallavich Masquerade 2024

Let's have a New Year's Masquerade Ball!

This time it'll be a mixed one, for fic writers and fanartists! The fanworks will be revealed on December 31st and people will have up to January 31st to cast their votes.

As you now know, in a Masquerade, creators (fic authors and fanartists) will produce their works anonymously. These fanworks will all be revealed at the same time on December 31st - our New Year's Masquerade Ball! - and fans (previously called readers and admirers) will have a month to attempt to guess who's behind each mask, that is, who made what. Creators are encouraged to try to fool everyone!

Details after the read more, but don't forget to please spread the word. This will be fun!

Requirements

All fics must have between 2,000 and 5,000 words. For art, there are no requirements. (Needless to say, AI "works" are not allowed.)

No theme is required or forbidden, but, as this is an event in which the goal is to have as many people checking out our work as possible, fanworks in niche categories are not advised. Regardless of what you do, please tag accordingly.

I don't know what to write/draw about!

You can get inspiration from anything you want. It can be canon-compliant, canon-divergent, after the show ended, AU...

But, if you still need some ideas, you can find some here, here or here (not to mention @callivich always has tons of prompts lists).

Sign-ups

Signing-up is required and can be done here. For this event, sign-ups can be done up to the time of posting. Unlike other events, this is one where you will need to sign-up only at the end, after the fanwork is done. You'll be required to add your AO3 username and the title of your fanwork.

What if I don't have an AO3 account?

Then I'm very sorry, but in this case, you won't be able to participate (as a creator). For this event, having an AO3 account is mandatory so that you can post in the collection. That being said, a lot of people have AO3 invites, so ask right now and someone may be able to send you one.

Posting

Posting will be done on AO3 and AO3 only! This is because the Masquerade Collection will be unrevealed and anonymous. All posting must be done until December 29th. On December 31st, all fics will be revealed and available for the readers. (The two days different is to ensure that everyone has posted before I reveal them.) The fanworks will remain anonymous until January 31st, when the game ends. (Please take note that this may be extended if there are a large number of fics). On February 1st, the authors' identities will be disclosed (and your fic will appear under your account just like any other fic).

As an creator, all you have to do is, when posting on AO3, choose to do it under the Gallavich Masquerade 2024 Collection (as in the picture below). I'll take care of the rest. It's important to do so when posting and not after, or it won't work. You can go to My Works > Works in Collections to confirm that it worked.

Voting

Voting will be done via a new form, which will be disclosed only after the fanworks are posted. All titles will be displayed and fans will chose from a menu who they think the creator is. This time, voting is mandatory in all three guesses. If you don't know who to vote for or if you haven't had a chance to read a fic, for example, just take a guess. Also, you might as well guess three different creators to increase your chances, even if you think you're sure who it is.

Points

There are two ways of winning this game, as a creator and as a fan.

Creators are awarded 1 point for each person who correctly guesses their fic/fanart on the first try, 2 for correct second guesses, 3 for correct third guesses and 7 points for each person who wrongly guesses it (that is, matches three different creators to your fanwork). That's right, you get more points if you're actually able to deceive everyone.

Fans are awarded 5 points for each fanwork they guess correctly on the first guess, 3 for each correct second guess and 1 for each correct third guess (obviously the points are only awarded once, so there's no need to guess the same work more than once). No points are being deducted this time.

Creators can also be fans, so they have twice the chance of winning. There will be separate winners for artists and writers.

Prizes

Winners will get boasting rights! XD Plus, of course, a special post for them.

If anyone would like to make fanworks for the winners (like art for the winning writers, fics for the winning artists, edits, whatever), please let me know, that would be super nice!

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁

I realized I’ve never made a US Thanksgiving related fic but I’m happy to change that. Hopefully someone will get some enjoyment from these fics post their own Thanksgiving or even instead if needed.

Lies My Parents Told Ian remembers Monica.

The Days You Choose Ian & Mickey do the holidays together, starting with Thanksgiving and ending with New Years Eve.

Mickey Against The World Mickey’s first Thanksgiving homeless starts with soaking in a stranger’s pool.

lay the table with the fancy shit and watch you tolerate it Their first Thanksgiving after Frank is gone goes south only the way a Gallagher holiday can.

Resisting Temptation Ian had been staring at his wrists for the past three minutes.

Thursday (With More Food) “I’m not going,” Mickey says on Thursday morning.

I'll always be here to chase after you Future Fic written in 2014 about Ian and Mickey visiting the Gallaghers for the holiday.

AO3 is now making people agree to a privacy policy before being able to access their content. What does that mean?

This is not something to be scared of. Knowledge is power so I encourage you to do research, especially if you're concerned about your privacy as a reader or writer on AO3. Please do your own research and come to your own conclusions. I can only provide the information, and I also do not have a law degree so I am not the person to speak to about this lol

Here are some relevant links, information, and full screenshots of that privacy policy that hopefully can help explain what it is and what you're agreeing to:

"Any Personal Information you include in your Content (including Special Categories of Personal Data and other types of Personal Information) may be accessible by AO3 administrators. It may also be accessible by the general public if the Content is made public, or by AO3 users if the Content is made available to AO3 users."

Definition of, ‘Processing of special categories of personal data’.

(we won't share your information at all unless one of these very specific and probably legal situations happens)

---

"You may have other rights regarding your Personal Information under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you are located. We will not discriminate against you for making a request under the data privacy laws of applicable jurisdiction."

Link to rights under data privacy laws in the UK, EU, and some US states. (I encourage you to also do your own research for your country/state)

"We will not share your Personal Information with any third parties without your prior consent, except for the following cases:

For external processing: We may use third-party services to store, process, or transmit data, or to perform other technical functions related to operating AO3. For example, we may use third-party email services. A list of third-party services is provided in our Subprocessor List. We cannot guarantee other services' technical performance. We or the services we use may store or process your Personal Information in data centers which may be located in the United States or elsewhere."

Link to what subprocessors are and what that means. (Again I encourage you to do your own research.)

This has no links but it is just helpful to know.

"For legal reasons: We may share Personal Information if we:

are legally compelled to do so;

have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on the OTW; or

are cooperating with law enforcement authorities. We will cooperate with all investigations conducted by law enforcement authorities within the United States when legally required to do so. Cooperation with law enforcement authorities from other countries and cooperation when it is not legally required are at our sole discretion. Our discretion looks favorably on freedom and justice, and unfavorably on oppression and violence.We will attempt to notify you any time we disclose your Personal Information to a third party for legal reasons, unless legally prohibited from doing so or if, in our sole judgment, notification might hinder an ongoing investigation. In some cases, the Personal Information we have, such as an IP address, may be insufficient for us to notify you."

"If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints about this Privacy Policy, or would like to submit a data request, please contact the Policy & Abuse committee."

Final links that I believe could be of benefit:

Which AO3 features collect, process, retain, and/or display my content or personal information, and how do they use it?

The full AO3 Terms of Service

The AO3 Terms of Service, including the Content Policy and Privacy Policy, are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

The screenshots of the full Privacy Policy are below for those who want to read it.

After reading it I personally think it just means that legally they are now required to inform us that our information is being stored in 3rd party sub-processors (because they’ve gotten so big) and how our information is being stored therefore having to explain how and when it would be used if at all. again this is just my personal opinion from reading the information.

In case you've been missing this fic - it got updated today! And in case you haven't read it yet - give it a go, promise, you won't be disappointed :) Heads up, it's a WIP.

Selfless Acts of the Illegal Variety

Chapter 5: Mickey Gets on with the Program Rating: E Word Count: 4.2k Summary: It happened fast. Seems like the only way they could ever do anything.

Read the fifth chapter of Selfless Acts of the Illegal Variety here, or start from the beginning here.

[gallavichfanficlibrary]

Just a reminder that there are a few fics written about it ;)

Tami getting overstimulated with all the people in the Gallagher house is understandable.

But her line of "Convicts that Ian brought home" cracks me up.

Babe he's been there for a decade.

I wish we got to see her reaction when she found that out.

[gallavichfanficlibrary]

I did post these in the Gallavich Community but I thought everyone else would want to see it too so here you go my beautiful admirers~💙

As for everyone who already saw these, I promise there’s more to come very soon!💗

[gallavichfanficlibrary]

“I I need to see ya…”

is from the S1E10 when little Ian came to met little Mickey like a wet puppy it’s just so adorable😩🥹😭

I literally don’t know how to use tumblr can someone come and teach me😩🙏

✨✨✨ Hey Gallavich Artists! ✨✨✨

Hello!! I've seen a lot of new art accounts around lately and it's so exciting! I wanted to give ya'll a heads up on some monthly creator events that you can participate in.

(There's also lots of annual events spread throughout the year of course, but for now I just wanted to point out these two because you have a chance to participate every month, you don't have to sign up, you just join in when you feel inspired!)

@gallacrafts : once a month a theme is announced and you have one week to make something, everyone posts on the same day at the end of the week!

This month's gallacrafts theme! <-

@shamelesscreatorsnetwork : at the beginning of the month a theme is announced and you have the whole month to create as many things as you want and can post them whenever you want during the month! This month's SCN theme! <-

Hope to see more from all of you!! 💖💖💖

[gallavichfanficlibrary]

Kinktober and the next event

Sadly, Kinktober is officially over (though stragglers are welcome). I want to give huge thanks to everyone who participated, with special shout-outs to @gallawitchxx and @wehangout, who blessed us every day; you were awesome!

Next:

And on that note, I wanna hear from the artists: would you rather have your Masquerade mixed in with the writers, separate but at the same time, or wait until next year in other not to get mixed up (and because yours already happened this year)?

Also, I can already anticipate that the Masquerade will be on December 22 and that the rules are pretty much the same as last year (let me know if there's something you think should be changed and why, please). I'll post the rules formally once this is decided, so probably within the next couple of weeks.

[gallavichfanficlibrary]

idk…some extended honeymoon??? 😅

[gallavichfanficlibrary]

someone I follow on the bird app just announced they’re starting a very exclusive private fic server because they and a bunch of other people want to talk about how much they love the fics they’re reading, and as an author can I just say that a really great place to talk about a fic you love is in the comments for that fic

I understand that people are trying to create safe spaces, but as the number of comments that I get on my fics dwindles with each passing year, knowing these spaces exist where my fics are being discussed, places that I am excluded from, makes me want to write fic LESS

I mean I guess who cares, right, because if I stop writing, there’s 10,000 other people that will continue…but if you participate in a fic “book club” server and you say nice things there about a fic you loved, maybe copy and paste that into a comment on AO3?

the only thing fanfic writers are asking for in return for hours of hard work is attention. please don’t rob us of the one thing that we hope for when we hit “post”
