Hi! Are there any fics where Claire is the virgin, instead of Jamie, on their wedding night? Thanks!

Hi @jinnelle,

Two fics come to mind with this premise:

Virgin Bedchamber by @takemeawaytocamelot - This one follows canon, everything being the same except that Claire is the virgin instead of Jamie.

Dr. B, Medicine Woman by @crossinginstyle - This one is a complete alternate universe, but it does have that premise.

Fandom, if you know of any other fics that follow this premise, please feel free to leave them in the comments!

Happy Reading!

Hi, I just want to ask if there is any chance that we see any more chapters of your bookstore AU? I followed you because of this story, but for a long time I never saw another chapter. Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi there! I’m so so so happy you like the bookshop AU!!! Thank you!

So, unfortunately, the thing is that Season 4 of Outlander was pretty rough for me. I honestly didn’t enjoy it very much, and it kinda took me out of the fandom temporarily, so I haven’t been feeling very motivated to write anything Outlander, or read it for that matter. I’m really hoping that Season 5 will be good (fingers and toes crossed), and that it’ll respark my love. I still love the characters and I love the first two seasons so much, but I’ve been taking a bit of an extended break from Outlander. The other thing is just the Way that I Am, when it comes to fandoms. I have more than dozen fandoms, but I’m only able to really engage with one or maybe two of them at a time. So I tend to emotionally cycle through my fandoms like seasons. I was pretty hard in on Outlander for like 2 solid years, which is honestly out of character for me, but that’s just how much I love it! But I inevitably cycled back to some of my previous loves. I think it was Merlin, then something else, then Marvel for like a year and a bit, and now I’m on to Good Omens. I absolutely adore my other fandoms while I’m focused on other ones, but I’m only able to be obsessively engaged with one or two and a time. That’s why the top of my blog description says Current Obsessions. TL;DR:So, the short answer is: Hopefully!! I’d love to continue the fic, and I can guarantee that I’ll be back to obsessing about Outlander FOR SURE at some point, but I can’t guarantee when that’ll be. If season 5 is good, then probably then. And once I’m back in Outlander I’d love to continue the fic. The other thing about the bookshop au is that it’s co-authored with @takemeawaytocamelot and the next chapter is actually hers to write :) Thanks for your patience!-MGJ

Let’s talk about writers and fanfiction

Over the past weeks I saw a lot of writers in my dash receiving tons of nasty anons criticizing their style of writing, writers I really  appreciate even if they don’t know me. Then came the plagiarism thing, so i decided to write a few things about the matter (forget my English, is not my first language 🙃)

I have to be honest, a year and a half ago, I thought of fanfiction as a silly thing until I decided to give it a try and read and definitely changed my mind. I have no idea how to write fiction is, the only approach I have about the subject is the journalistic writing I have to do for school and even if it’s different, I get that the feeling of posting something you’ve done can be scary, nerve-racking, gives you a lot of anxiety. Will people like it? Is it a silly thing to post? What if I said something wrong, if I’m misunderstood?

What I intend to say with this, is that it takes a lot of courage to publish something so intimate, something to which you dedicated a lot of time, effort and what you did with love, and also, for free. And I say intimate because I firmly believe that when writing fiction, a part of each writer appears there, a piece of how they are, what they think, their believes. As for example in the last chapter of BTY. I don’t know @balfeheughlywed , we never talked but I read a post recently about how that chapter meant for her to be a love letter to motherhood and it perfectly reflects her intention while mixing it with the story (beautiful chapter btw, I end up crying when Jamie started to talk to their bairn)

When it comes to feelings, many times the way to channel them is through writing. Other times it is through music, painting, dancing, etc. there are a lot of ways to express them, but since we are talking about written stories, let's keep it that way. I think what Lauren did was something beautiful, I’m not a mother but I thought of my mom and what she has been through, and it must have been a terrible yet beautiful experience. Other author I can think of right now is @whiskynottea with Death dreams. Her writing there is so beautiful yet so painful because she talks about things that happens in the real life. I sort of know how it is to live with someone suffering depression and let me tell you, it breaks your heart. Her portrayal of Claire as the partner of the one suffering, and Jamie as the depressed one seems so real, like you can feel what they feel in every chapter, and is a clever decision to add topics maybe not everyone is brave enough to talk about, be it depression, abortion, PTSD, miscarriages, some terminal disease…

Also, I want to comment on the subject of plagiarism. Since the beginning of last year I read OL fanfiction, and I can *shamefully* say that I read a lot, much more than all the books I have on my shelf that I didn’t read yet. And in many cases things are repeated, such as the meeting of the main characters, how they fall in love, the use of quotes from the original books, even the personalities of the characters involved. That doesn’t mean to plagiarize anyone’s work, in my opinion, it’s because within this community, many people think about the characters in a way (i.e. Frank being an abusive sexist who cheats on his partner and doesn’t care), many topics are repeated (Jamie being librarian, Claire being a doctor), what really changes is how each one writes a story based on it, and among everything I read, it's always different, because as everyone is different, so is their writing.

But also, we are in 2019 guys, I doubt there’s something that hasn’t been invented yet, everything gets recycled, so what’s the point in blaming people for writing similar things? Also, what a waste of time to be searching some specific quote of a fic and compare it with another one, i’m tired with only think about it.

For me, writing it’s a very difficult thing to achieve since I suck at words and have no idea how to express my feelings/what I want to say properly (you are seeing that now, haha). But these people out there who week after week transmit magic with each chapter, who write them in such a poetic way, research enough to give a quality content, deserve nothing but praise. If you don’t like what they write, there is only one thing to do, don’t read it. And if you have nothing good to say, it is better to say nothing. There is no reason to be filling their inbox with horrible comments, insults, pointing their mistakes if there’s no a constructive reason behind. Im always saying this but we don´t know what’s in each other lives, so maybe by leaving those things, you’re ruining their day.

There is a huge variety of styles to choose from, so it's a matter of looking for what you like and keep going. There are stories that are simpler to read, others more complicated, with metaphors, more description, maybe more elaborated (I don’t say that the simple ones are bad, but they are easier to read, at least for me, and I like it), some have shorter chapters, others longer. There are about J/C, about secondary characters, one shoots, multichapters, fluffy, angsty, canon divergence, AU... And luckily, the number of people who dare to write their own stories grows day by day, and the ones we already know improves every week, with every new story so, why don’t we go for kindness, good comments, and constructive criticism instead of sending hateful inboxes?

For writers: I can’t express how much happiness you give me every day, how I improved my English since I started reading. Reading every story makes me understand how you write the characters we love (and hate), how you understand them, how can you put them in different scenarios, different eras, in which they are presidents, florists, doctors, professors, businessmen, swimmers, make them go through difficult times, beautiful ones, and that so and all you make them shine. The possibilities you have are immense and I can’t wait to read everything they have to offer, because I’m sure is going to be a masterpiece. I know is easier said than done but it’s better to focus in the ones who really cares for the time you put into this, who waits impatiently for a sneak peak, an entire chapter, background information about your story, pics, whatever. Haters gonna hate and I personally believe it had nothing to do with you, they are just mean people, maybe bored ones who thinks is funny to send those kind of messages and don’t really care if they are hurting you in the process. Keep doing your thing, you are free to do it and there are a lot of people willing to read whatever you do.

Thank you for being brave enough to share a piece of you, of your creativity and sorry for being lazy and sometimes forget to leave a comment, or read the chapters 657946 years later, believe me when I say I do love everything you write and I end up laughing, crying, jumping in my bed when some characters kiss for the first time after a long slow burn, and sometimes completely shooked at the end of every chapter and wanting for more ❤���❤️❤️

I hope this makes sense since I’m writing this with the help of google translator bc I’m tired, sleepy and my English sucks lately 😊

[thebrochtuarachs]

4, 8, 12 👾

bonI don’t know what 12 means. I meant 13. Good lord.

@missclairebelle, you always ask and send me questions. I appreciate it and you so much ❤ also, i didn’t understand what question 13 meant too, haha!

4. What a fic that changed the way the way you write? 

I’ve been reading fanfics for a long, long time even before I fell down the rabbit hole that is Outlander - but I would say that the writers in this fandom are just the best of the best in all the fandoms I am in. 

I always say I am in awe of other authors’ writing because I really am and do. I’ve written fanfic for other fandoms before just because I wanted to share my own one-shot and fluffs. However, it’s only here in the Outlander that I tried my hand in multi-fic and different themes because there are just too many great stories here and I wanted to see if I can contribute to it in any way, shape or form. (Hopefully, I am) 

And to answer the question, I do have a couple of fics that inspired me and changed the way I write: 

1. Modern Glasgow by @gotham-ruaidh2. Flood My Mornings by @bonnie-wee-swordsman3. Written in the Stones by @lenny99874. This is Us by @abbydebeaupreposts5. Jimjeran by @betweensceneswriter6. A Wild Night in Vegas by @takemeawaytocamelot7. Loss, Act I and II by @missclairebelle

I know this is lot to list (and I have many more faves and all) but these are the fics (and authors!) that inspired me, challenged me and changed the way I write because they are just so dang good and I am amazed by what they do and create (Hopefully, they know it cause I message them when I read their fics and just fangirl about how I loved their stories, haha!). 

These are the fics that I read on the constant and still feel all the feels, the fics that I take either when I’m hiking the mountains or up in the air, etc.

So, yeah. I hope I am writing better with all the inspiration I am getting but most of the time, I find myself on the other side of the threshold and I just fan and feel with the rest of the readers ❤

8. google docs, microsoft word or other?

If I am co-writing with someone or beta-ing a fic, I usually use google docs. If I am writing my fics, I use microsoft word. :)  

13. past tense or present tense? 

I tend to write in the past tense mostly but I think it’s both sometimes depending on the situation/story. I haven’t tried nor I think I have ever read a fic that is on full present tense - if there is, send me a link because I would love to read it! 

[staciejcc]

So we’ve had a super shit time lately. It’s been a nightmare that I’m unable to wake from. I know it may sound crazy, but as I’ve told @bonniebird17 the fanfic stories are my saving grace right now. I read and reread them all. I’ve always been a fan of all you @written-rebellion @writtenthroughtime @imagineclaireandjamie @gotham-ruaidh @balfeheughlywed @whiskynottea @kalendraashtar @takemeawaytocamelot and a ton more i can’t put names to. Your words are an escape. I look for updates and if there aren’t any, i reread EVERYTHING! I don’t know if you fanfic authors are thanked often enough, but i love your guts and I’m beyond grateful to read Jamie and Claire in all the ways i never imagined. Thank you all for past, present and future imaginary escapes💛💛💛

[themusicsweetly]

@whitenightowl ‘s Fanfic Master Post aka if you look across the park, you’ll find me submerged in a puddle of feels

Also, not sure how to link to it, but @cranesmuir-witch ‘s prompts are wonderful.

I’ve been commenting that I don’t read a lot of fanfic, but that’s obviously a lie. This is what I read. This is what I check updates on at work, what makes flail like an idiot when there’s a new chapter.

If you read a story or prompt you like, TELL THE AUTHOR. Incomprehensible keyboard slams are our currency and positive feedback is our oxygen. We read the tags (who reblogs things without tags?!) as much as we do the comments, or otherwise anons are always a wonderful option if you’d like to be subtle... but then come off anon so we can love you.

I really felt the need to share the love that y’all have extended to me as I’ve began my fanfic journey. This fandom is the best.

[lynnialljohnson]

Last night I got to hear what may be my favorite living author give a talk, share readings and conduct a Q&A. Neil Gaiman is AMAZING! He shared stories of his bachelor party at a Poetry Brothel, talked about writting Norse Mythology (what he called his literary knitting project) and read poetry. It fed my soul to spend an evening wallowing in art and I feel amazing. Neil's advice to aspiring writers was don't aspire, write! So to all the amazing fanfic writers here thank you and please keep going! You are not aspiring, you are writers. And thank you (Oh, and @takemeawaytocamelot he confirmed that the sequel to Neverwhere is in the works and is set 20 years later 😆)

Librarian’s Choice: Weekly Picks

Hello all! Lately I’ve been rereading some stories in our fandom that are just a bit older, and that I haven’t checked out in a little while. I’m so grateful we have such a wealth of talent in our fandom, and I’d love to share with you some of that talent from a few years ago! Let’s get started, shall we?

An Endless Night / Vergangenheit by @phoenixflames12​

An Endless Night and its follow up fic Vergangenheit are some heavy hitters. Not shying away from difficult or intense topics, this WWII AU follows Captain James AMM Fraser through his imprisonment, journey home, and fight for recovery. The story expands through the eyes of Claire and their three children, telling the story of this family’s struggle to find the beauty in healing and reconnection. While not exactly a piece of light fluffy reading, this universe beautifully explores both the intense and the simple moments of life that make up the sum of our complicated, messy, gorgeous, human experience. 

Be sure to check out all the ficlets and additional scenes in the An Endless Night universe!

The Rebel and the Rose by @mybeautifuldecay​​

Have you ever wondered, “What if Claire was from the 1700s? What if she met Jamie in the midst of the Rising? What if Claire and Black Jack had a dark past?” Well, wonder no more! This story starts when a pair of Highlanders on the run stumble into an Englishwoman’s house, and turn her life upside down. This one carries some dark themes, but it’s the best kind of hurt/comfort. And rest assured, no matter the time or circumstances, our Jamie and Claire will always be destined for each other!

Note that the link above sends you to @mybeautifuldecay​‘s entire fic masterlist. The Rebel and the Rose should be the third story from the top; while you’re there, be sure to check out the rest of her wonderful writing!

Red Jamie and the White Lady by @diversemediums​ and @takemeawaytocamelot​

I’ve been rereading this masterpiece recently, and I got sucked back in like it was the very first time! Psychic!Jamie, Cynic!Claire, destiny, magic, evil forces at work.... This fic has it all! This fascinating AU is built around a rich, complex world, with Jamie and Claire learning about their powers right along with us. We all know that Jamie and Claire are each other’s heart and soul, no matter what situation they’re in, but it’s a different matter entirely to see them in a world where they were literally made for each other. Check this one out if you’ve been craving a story with some magic!

That’s all for this time around! Hope you enjoy, and have a great rest of your week!

[thesketchingwitch]

Awwwww, Ian’s properly head over heels isn’t he? And so darn cute and awkward with it. And I love Rachel’s quiet authority.

Adore this @takemeawaytocamelot

Expedition of the Heart: 3AM Wednesday Morning and I’m Waitin’ to Finally Talk to a Girl a Little Cooler Than Me

So the title for this one is long, but I love it. It’s perfect for the chapter overall. @akb723 is a master title-maker, and an AMAZING editor. This story is really such a fun thing to write. I love the Ian/Rachel dynamic already, but in this setting is so much more fun!

If you need to catch up, find the links here: Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2

Ian strode up to the nurse’s station and leaned against the counter. Mrs. Fitz glanced up from her computer and pursed her lips at him.

“Yer auntie isne workin’ today, lad,” she said in a motherly tone.

“Och, I ken that, Mrs. Fitz! Surely ye dinna think I only come to hospital to give my auntie her lunch!”

Mrs. Fitz cocked one eyebrow.

“No, I dinna think that. I think ye also like to flirt wi’ my lassies.”

“I would never!” Ian said in mock outrage. “To think I’d flirt wi’ someone else and you sitting here right before me?”

Fan fic asks 3, 4 & 20!

#3: Do you remember the first Outlander (OL) fan fiction you ever read?

Yes! Faith Restored by @lenny9987​ is the first one I read. I remember it well because I messaged and thanked the wrong author first before I realised it then messaged her. It was super embarrassing but they were cool about it (cause they were friends too!) so it was all good! :)

#4: Which Outlander (OL) fan fiction you have re-read the most times?

Modern Glasgow by @gotham-ruaidh​Jimjeran Book 1&2 by @betweensceneswriter​Flood My Mornings by @bonnie-wee-swordsmanA Wild Night in Vegas by @takemeawaytocamelot​Collision Course by @lenny9987This is Us by @abbydebeaupreposts​Loving Jamie by JillianK

I probably missed some more but these are the current ones on my list. ;)

#20: All-time favorite thing about Outlander (OL) Fanfiction?

The writers and the endless creativity and originality of their stories. Droughtlander is one of the longest ever so to continue reading new stories, the updates to the old ones, and re-reading these fantastic stories are the best way to kill the time. I am inspired by these creatives on the daily and they are just amazing!! Thank you all for what you write. I greatly love and appreciate them all! 

[thelallybrochlibrary]

❤️ your blog, makes my days so much better in these times. If I may ask, I’m looking for a story where C is a bartender in Vegas & J stops by at the end of his shift. Can’t find it 😫

Hey Anon!

You’re looking for A Wild Night in Vegas by @takemeawaytocamelot and @outlandishchridhe. You can read it right here on AO3.

Happy Reading!

[thelallybrochlibrary]

Looking for a fic where Claire is a nurse and Jaime a soldier during WWI or WWII, they get separated from the others while on some sort of mission and Claire gets wounded? I was hoping you could help ♡

Hi Anon!

It sounds like you’re looking for At the End of All Things by @diversemediums and @takemeawaytocamelot.

Enjoy your reread!
