Announcing Cosmere Femslash Fest 2023! 🎉🌈
Hey cosmere fandom! Do you love our wonderful cast of female characters? Wish there was more fic of them loving each other? Want to contribute a fic, and get a mystery gift fic in return? 👀
Here’s the plan:
Fill out the signup form here. You’ll be asked to provide information on what you'd like to write as a gift, what you’d like your gifter to write for you, and a few other details to help us assign you a gifter and giftee. Signups will be open for submissions through August 20th.
We’ll reach out to you by August 26th with your assigned giftee, along with their submitted gift preferences to help guide your writing. The goal is to keep gifters/giftees secret during the writing, but we’ll keep communication open if you’d like to reach out through us to ask your giftee any additional questions about their preferences.
You’ll have until September 26th (Bi Shallan Day!) to write a femslash fic for your giftee—all we’re asking for is a short fic (think a few hundred words) but you can write more if you’d like! On September 26th we’ll all reveal our gifts and giftees. It’ll be a big sapphic party! (arguably the best kind 😎)
And that’s it! Our DMs and askbox are open if you have any other questions—don’t be shy!
We’ll also be posting optional writer check-ins, boosting femslash art and fic, and creating other opportunities for exchange participants and non-participants alike to have fun and encourage each other, all while celebrating our cosmere gals and their galpals. We hope you’ll join us!

Randomized AUs for Cosmere Femslash Couples
Femslash feature requested by @cosmereplay
Cosmereplay asked me to write a list promoting Cosmere Femslash Fest 2023, which is a fic exchange event YOU can participate in focused around femslash ships.
In honor of this event, I decided to do the following: I made a list of femslash ships and a separate list of AUs, and then I randomly paired them. Let's see what results!
And if any of these randomized results actually look like a fun thing to write or draw, please feel absolutely free! 1. Sports AU: Marasi & Moonlight (Mistborn Era 2)
After chasing down a purse-snatcher on her roller skates, Marasi catches the eye of Roller Derby team captain Moonlight, who wants Marasi to join her team, the Bleeding Ghosts. As Marasi is drawn into the world of Roller Derby, she finds herself being drawn to the mysterious Moonlight as well.
2. Mermaid AU: Lewshi & Raboniel (Stormlight)
As captain of her ship, Lewshi knows to beware of the dangerous but beautiful mermaids who inhabit these waters. But after nearly drowning in a shipwreck, Lewshi is revived by the mermaid Raboniel, a creature so dangerous yet so alluring that even the other mermaids fear her.
3. Pop Stars AU: Shallan & Tyn (Stormlight)
Scam artist Shallan needs to pretend to be a popstar for one easy con. But things go awry when she catches the eye of actual popstar Tyn, who is impressed by Shallan's talent and eager to teach the up-and-comer the ropes. Now Shallan needs to keep the popstar con going...or does she just want to spend more time with Tyn?
4. Boss & Secretary AU: Navani & Raboniel (Stormlight)
When Navani is hired to be Raboniel's secretary, she is overwhelmed by Raboniel's harsh standards and demanding attitude. But Navani's keen intelligence quickly impresses her boss, and now the two of them are growing closer than ever...
5. Teacher & Student's Parent AU: Vin & Shan (Mistborn Era 1)
Vin is a young and overworked elementary school teacher, and Shan Elariel is the imperious and demanding mother of one of Vin's students. They immediately butt heads, but as sparks begin to fly, something more begins to develop between them.
6. Soulmates AU: Lyn & Jasnah (Stormlight)
The first thing your soulmate will say to you is printed on your hand from birth. But Lyn was tired of being lonely, so she's dating a boy named Kal, despite both of them knowing that they're not soulmates. But when Lyn attends a lecture by the preeminent scholar Jasnah, she is shocked to hear Jasnah begin with words that Lyn has long been waiting to hear.
7. Coworkers AU: Lewshi & Venli (Stormlight)
(Ha ha this one is just canon!) It started out as just bitching together about their terrible boss. But now Venli is sensing that there might be more between them...but she doesn't want to make a move until she's sure.
8. Succubus AU: Jasnah & Shallan (Stormlight)
Shallan knew that summoning a demon was risky, but she was willing to try anything to save her family, even if that meant trying to bind a demon to steal its power. She was not prepared for the demon she summoned to be a succubus, and she was not expecting to find this demon Jasnah's presence to be so...alluring.
9. Bodyguard & Client AU: Salay & Ann (Tress of the Emerald Sea)
Ann loves being a bodyguard, even if she's, well, terrible at it. Ann has been given one last chance to not fuck up an assignment: guarding businesswoman Salay, who is searching for her father.
10. Coffee Shop AU: Siri & Blushweaver (Warbreaker)
Siri is a young woman out on her own for the first time, working at a local coffee shop. Blushweaver is the beautiful, flirtatious customer. But is it Siri's imagination, or does Blushweaver flirt more with her than with anyone else?
11. Star Trek AU: Cord & Rysn (Stormlight)
Cord is Security and Rysn is the Captain, and they are Starfleet Officers on the same starship. They've been sent on an away mission to investigate the mysterious planet Akinah, where a great treasure is said to lie hidden...
12. Detective & Art Thief AU: Steris & Ranette (Mistborn Era 2)
Detective Steris has been hunting renowned art thief Ranette for years, but the thief is always inventing new devices and weapons that allow her to escape the law every time. Steris can't deny that she's maybe getting a little obsessed with this woman...
13. Tattoo Artist & Flower Shop AU: Marasi & MeLaan (Mistborn Era 2)
Marasi runs a flower shop, and MeLaan runs the tattoo shop next door. Do I need to say more?
14. Neighbors AU: Jaxy & Ranette (Mistborn Era 2)
Ranette likes her space--that's why she bought a small cottage way out in the countryside. But now a new woman has moved in down the road, and for the first time in a while, Ranette is wondering if it wouldn't be nice to have someone else around the place...
15. Vampire AU: Vin & Allrianne (Mistborn Era 1)
Allrianne is the rich, well-dressed, and the undisputed queen of her high school. Yet there's this new girl, Vin--pale, keeps to the shadows, never seems to eat...and keeps looking at Allrianne with those predatory eyes...
16. Knight & Queen AU: Jasnah & Azure (Stormlight)
(Ha! This is close to canon too!) Lady Azure is a knight, and she's extremely good at her job. She has been promoted to guard Queen Jasnah, and when Lady Azure swears her undying loyalty, she means it. Deeply.
17. Nerd & Jock AU: Lyn & Laran (Stormlight)
As captain of their college basketball team, Lyn has the popularity and the swagger. Yet she finds herself strangely drawn to that nerdy math major, Laran. Despite her teammates' ribbing, Lyn thinks she might just shoot her shot...
18. Fake Dating AU: Shallan & Vin (Stormlight & Mistborn Era 1)
Shallan MAY have been lying to her family about having a girlfriend to keep them off her back. But now her family is insisting on meeting her girlfriend at the next family reunion, and Shallan needs to think of something FAST. So she puts out an ad offering to pay someone to just pretend to be her girlfriend for a few hours, and who should answer but this girl Vin...
19. College AU: Navani & Evi (Stormlight)
Navani and Evi meet through their college boyfriends--brothers, in fact, brothers who are always so busy with their business majors that Navani and Evi often find themselves alone. Together. Feeling something grow between them...
20. Sugar Mama AU: Yumi & Akane (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter)
Yumi is a struggling artist; she works harder than ANYONE yet can't seem to make ends meet. So when she's contacted by the mysterious Akane who offers to be her sugar mama, Yumi jumps at the chance. It doesn't hurt that Akane is an actual goddess in terms of looks... Happy Femlash Fest 2023, everyone!

[ID: a screenshot of a tweet from @/naiakiir on 26 Septemeber 2016 that reads, "Every time Shallan thinks abt Jasnah it's so gay which is #relatable, @/BrandSanderson did u realize how bi u wrote her?? either way thank u".
Brandon Sanderson, @/BrandSanderson replies, "This wasn't directly on my mind while writing, but looking back, I think it was in my subconscious. I'm flattered to hear it."
@/naiakiir replies, "!!! Oh gosh, I really appreciate this supportive reply, and I really look forward to Shallan in future books! Thank you!!!!" End ID.]

Femslash Fest is live!
We are so happy (and relieved) to report that we have over 20 fics ready to read right now! There's a wide variety of characters and situations, so please check them out, leave comments and kudos, and let's celebrate for the next few days as we love on our Cosmere sapphics!
We'll be following up this post with a pinned post of all the fics submitted, along with their pairing and rating. Over the next month, we'll post fic recs of all the fics for you to share, so more people can discover our Cosmere ladies and hopefully inspire more fic and art.
Thank you so much to all the participants, artists, followers, rebloggers, image describers, bonus writers, and supporters--we couldn't have done this without your eagerness to be part of it, and it's so appreciated!
Cosmere Fandom Still Best Fandom!

Getting excited?? Tomorrow (Sep 26) is Bi Shallan Day, so save the link:
Cosmere Femslash Fest 2023 Collection
And enjoy refreshing every five minutes until it's up 😂 Meanwhile there's lots going on behind the scenes for our writers and organizers. We've got a few people whose writing is fuelled by adrenaline, and a couple people who will be a little late in posting, but regardless we will reveal the Collection at 6pm EST* on Sep 26th, with the goal of having 20 fics up by Saturday the 30th. Everyone who got paired should get something by then. There will also be bonus fic!
So GET HYPE! I've been skimming the fics coming in and they're all BANGERS (no matter the rating lol)
*That's: 3pm Pacific 5pm Central 7pm Newfoundland 10pm UTC 11pm BST 12am CEST 3:30am IST 6am CST 8am AEST

Cosmere femslash fest writer check in!
Hey everybody, I'm happy to report that everyone who signed up has confirmed that they're interested - great job!
One of the fun things about these events is getting to know each other a little bit. It's a week into Femslash Fest, and that means some people may not have started writing, and others might be finished. Wherever you are in your process, what's something you're excited about for your writing? Have you chosen a pairing you love, are you trying something new, do you have an idea for an interaction? Let us know, either by reblogging or sending an anonymous ask.
If you're not a writer, but you're excited to read the fics when they come out on September 26th (Bi Shallan day), tell us what you're excited about 😎
If you're an artist working on some femslash art, tell us what you're working on - we wanna get hype for it!

Cosmere femslash fest writer check in!
Another week, another check in. Do you have a snippet of your fic you'd like to share? A bangin' line? Or a fun idea you couldn't fit into your fic?
Reblog, send an anonymous ask, or post and tag us - we'd love to know what you're up to! Plus we can spread excitement for the ao3 reveal on the 26th. We want all the cosmere femslash lovers to know there will be at least twenty fics coming out on ao3 soon!
Over the next week we'll be posting info for people new to ao3 - how to add a fic to ao3 (including an easy-to-use html script doc), how to add a fic to an Unrevealed Collection, and how to gift a fic.
Happy writing, everyone!

Writer info! How to add to the Collection
There are a few housekeeping things to offer as we enter the last week of the femslash fest. For those who are familiar with ao3 basics:
Upload your fic to ao3 anytime before the 26th! Just make sure to gift your fic to your giftee if their ao3 handle is in their bio, and add your fic to the Cosmere Femslash Fest 2023 Collection. This Collection is currently Unrevealed, which means your fic will stay hidden from everyone until it is revealed on the 26th.
For those who are unfamiliar with ao3 or need a refresher–once you have created your ao3 account and written a fic, this is what to do:
In ao3, go to your dashboard and click “post new”.
Give your fic the appropriate rating, warnings, and tags (Here’s a comprehensive, searchable guide for how to use ao3 metatext)
Under “Post to Collections / Challenges”, type in Cosmere Femslash Fest 2023. That’s us!
Under “Gift this work to”, enter your giftee’s ao3 account name from their bio, if they provided one.
Enter your fic in html or richtext format. (Want a script that does the html formatting for you? Click here! Note that in the google doc it says “post to ao3” in a dropdown menu, but that’s a misnomer. It doesn’t actually post it, it just does the html formatting. You still have to copy and paste it into the box in ao3.)
Submit the fic, and you’re done! We will confirm with you that everything’s good to go.
Upload your fic whenever you're ready! The fic will stay hidden in the Collection until the reveal on the 26th. If you need help with anything, check out the links above. You can also send us an ask or DM me @cosmereplay.

This week we're going to start recommending fics for your enjoyment and inspiration, so our posts will include some links to Mature and Explicit rated material. None of our posts will include that material, but there may be a username or a title here and there that we can't control.
Anyway, if you want to be very sure that you don't see posts with links to Mature and Explicit rated content, please block the tag #yurithiru.
Conversely, if you want to search the blog for those posts specifically, guess what you can search? #yurithiru.
