Hello my lovely MFMM fans!

Several of us have been discussing a new fandom event and are looking to gauge interest! If you could answer the simple three question survey below by April 24th, it would be an immense help!

TAKE THE SURVEY HERE

The ideas we are currently considering are:

Themed Event - People create works based off the events theme. This could be something like a monthly prompt, a trope Bingo game where you receive a card and mark off spaces when you create a work with it, or an event similar to the Whumptober or Smutuary events that have been run in the past. Exchange - Bring back the Phryne Ficathon! Participants sign up, giving 3-4 prompts and a list of likes and dislikes, and get prompts in return. Then you have a certain period of time to create and post a gift based off at least one of the prompts. Everyone creates, everyone gets a gift! Prompt Meme - Anyone can supply prompts, anyone can claim them. There's no real rules or deadlines, just the option to post to the collection. Finish Your WIPs Marathon - We all have a folder of shamefully unfinished WIPs. A Finish Your WIPs Marathon provides community and cheerleading as we try to wrap up those bad boys before the deadline. Fuck Festival - An expansion of the Phrack Fucking Fridays of yore. Post your smutty fics on a dedicated day/week

Within these fandoms, I'm also very happy to write work that explores elements of canon worldbuilding that are maybe under-explored in canon itself, and work that fixes problems in canon (especially if those problems are of the "this was pretty bad writing" variety).

Roccolinde/Fire_sign

Tumblr: @firesign23 (Hey, that's me!) Highest rating: E (Explicit) Length/scope: Less than 5K (Quite likely to go over, but I don't want to make promises and find the story writes up in a short manner) Minimum bid: $5 Current high bid: $60 Especially interested in: TV/film canon. Any pairing, canon or fanon. I primarily write Phrack, but as my ao3 will tell you there's very little I've not dipped my toe into. If you are interested in Dot/Hugh fluff, I'll do it but it's not a strength. I strongly prefer canon set stories for this fandom. General interests: power/Battle couple dynamics and competence kink, exes/second chances/second loves, prickly characters being vulnerable, female characters finding common ground, snark and banter, character-driven stories/smut, hurt/comfort, narrative gender fuckery of all types, shifting power dynamics where they are both aware. Tenderness, vulnerability, and the mortifying idea of being known. I adore complicated and nuanced takes on the character's relationship with gender and identity, and lines getting blurred there. I love writing so many classic fic tropes and kinks, so if there's something you're interested in feel free to ask! Big fan of writing angsty or bittersweet fics and ambiguous or unhappy endings, but not interested in unrelenting misery. Link to auction

Hellooo! Paranormal investigator AU for Phrack, maybe? Thank you!!

thank you for the prompt! (from this AU ask game) This is a fun one. Though one could easily set it in the modern day, I would still set it in the 1920s, because that was such a fascinating time in terms of the spiritual and supernatural - you've got the Spiritualism revival that the show briefly explores in Death Comes Knocking, the rise of silent horror films like The Cabinet of Dr Caligari and Nosferatu, and the moral panic association between jazz and vampires, which is how you get the Jazz Age Vamp (taken literally in the Rivers of London second novel Moon Over Soho, which has vampires that feed on jazz).

Phryne is one such Jazz Age Vamp (not literally; she is perfectly human). She solves supernatural cases because she remains haunted by her sister's murder at the hands of necromancer Murdoch Foyle, which she has never been able to get him convicted for (it is very difficult to prove necromancy in a court of law). She is descended from a long line of witches on her mother's side. This means that Aunt Prudence is in fact a witch of considerable strength, but chooses to use none of it because Magic is Not Proper. As they have no female descendants, they adopt Jane into their line so she will inherit the power.

Jack is the detective inspector who keeps getting assigned all the cases with a whiff of the supernatural because nobody else wants to handle them. He has inadvertently become the 1920s Melbourne equivalent of the Folly (if you know Rivers of London). This is despite the fact that he is deeply skeptical by nature - had one too many run-ins with scam artists pretending to be mediums (the hypnotist whom Jane is forced to steal for is one such conman) - and is convinced that Miss Fisher is a fraud. After reluctantly solving multiple cases with her, he concedes ghosts are real but remains immensely annoyed about it.

Dot is a real medium who struggles to reconcile her gift with her Catholic faith. She falls in love with Hugh after being forced to exorcise him, because he is exactly the kind of idiot who would end up getting possessed on his first case.

Mac still works at the morgue, which is full of ghosts. She can see them but mostly ignores them ("are you trying to sabotage your own autopsy, madam? no? then go cry in the corner till I'm done. Thank you.")

Bert came back from the war. Cec did not. This has not stopped them from driving a cab together. Their cab can take you to any part of Melbourne, including the city of the dead. They are still Communists. They take the "spectre haunting" aspect of it very seriously.

Mr Butler has been working at Wardlow for the past century and plans to continue doing so indefinitely. Nobody knows if he is alive, dead, or undead; moreover they feel it is impolite to ask.

Every case in this AU has a supernatural element except Death Comes Knocking, wherein it is revealed that every single person involved is scamming everyone else.

Arthur Conan Doyle makes a cameo in Away With the Fairies. Harry Houdini makes a cameo in Death Defying Feats and spends most of it trashing Doyle's views on spiritualism.

Crypt of Tears is greatly improved by the crypt being full of actual undead.

[incorrect-miss-fisher]

Bert: Are you sure this is safe?

Phryne: Not in the slightest. Here we go!

@jeneenp MFMM Episode Recap Index

Those who have been in the fandom for a while know that the episode recaps by @jeneenp are legendary, but at the Miss Fisher Con, I learned that many new comers did not know about them. The thoughtful @babsmd suggested me to put an index together for everyone, a task I gladly accepted.

Below are all I managed to locate. As you can see, some episodes are missing. Since I didn’t join Tumblr until early 2015, I have no idea whether she actually posted the recaps for those episodes. Feel free to add links if you happen to have them handy.

Phrack Ficlet

Do you ever wanna post something for a fandom you’re in, but you’re intimidated by the talent of other writers in said fandom? So you psych yourself out of posting a proper fic, but you know if you don’t at least try to post something, you probably never will? … Yeah? Just me? Cool.

Anyway, this is short and I just don’t feel good enough about it in general to post to ao3. So… have a wee bit of phrack fluff. Just because. (Or don’t - not forcing it, totally your choice. Just uh… testing the waters, if you will.) If you do read it, wow thank you! And yeah… I’m gonna go now. Okay thanks, bye!

They’d been summoned to fulfill their monthly duty of appearing at one of Aunt P’s charity dinners and this one had garnered a rather uptight crowd. Even by Mrs. Stanley’s standards (“They’ve certainly mastered the ‘eat’ and ‘drink’, but the ‘be merry’ seems to have been abandoned,” she’d said with no small amount of irritation, “Never did I think I’d be praying for a batch of my son’s fudge.”) It was the first time in quite a while that Jack felt noticeably out of place, and the guests had done a rather spectacular job of (patronizingly) reinforcing that idea.

Phryne, as always, paid no mind to the crowd of stuffed shirts and altered not one bit of her behavior for the sake of other’s pearls. It was a quality he admired and one that he’d normally delight in. However, towards the end of the night, she’d stumbled into his lap and made a show of kissing his cheek and then nipping at his ear, whispering (if one could call it that) for him to “take her home and to bed.” He would’ve found it divine had he been tucked away in a dark corner to himself, but he was instead sat at a table of notable clergymen from all across Victoria and their faces looked nothing short of scandalized. Red didn’t even begin to describe the color of his face as he hastily excused them both and then stammered through his goodnights to Mrs. Stanley, Phryne giggling at his suffering the entire way.

Now standing out in the courtyard, waiting on Cec and Bert (why the bloody hell didn’t he drive himself?), she was thoroughly wrapped around him and making soft noises that sounded far too similar to the ones she made while falling to sleep.

“Phryne darling, people are… people are looking at us,” he pleaded softly, offering a tight smile to some of the wide-eyed passersby as she leaned more of her weight into him.

“Well, let them look,” there was a purr in her voice that indicated she was rather pleased with that development and Jack sighed.

“I meant that they’re looking unfavorably.”

To that, she turned her head and gazed up at him with a smirk and sleepy, half-lidded eyes, “I know what you meant, Robinson.” He pursed his lips admonishingly, but she only smiled wider, “My answer stays the same. Just because these boring old biddies don’t like their husbands enough to cuddle them doesn’t mean I can’t with mine. Especially when you’re so tall and… ” she tucked her head back under his chin and rested her cheek to his chest, “handsome and… “ she let out a satisfying yawn, humming contentedly, “warm.”

His mouth parted in slight bewilderment as he struggled to decide which to address first - the fact that he (rather intentionally, on their part) wasn’t her husband or that her idea of a ‘cuddle’ was having her arms wrapped around him under his suit jacket and her body pressed so tightly to his that it bordered on indecent. Flattered as he was (perhaps he had blushed), this was really a most inopportune time. Sometimes she was truly exasperating… and utterly adorable. And yet, he noted with an edge of self-reprimand, he had already resigned himself to her will.

Trying to ignore the insistent stares and pointed whispers, he stole a fond caress of her hair, murmuring into the crown of her head, half-bemused, half-serious, “Just how much champagne did you drink tonight, Miss Fisher?”

She let out a sweet little noise of annoyance, embracing him even tighter, clearly anticipating that he would disapprove and wanting to soften the blow, “However many they put in my hand. Not my fault that the wait staff was so very attentive.”

“Good God,” he closed his eyes briefly in amused disbelief, chuckling and then taking one cleansing breath. He moved one of the hands on her hips up to her lower back to stroke it softly. “You’ll be the death of me, woman, I swear.”

She raised her head then to look up at him with mischievously tender eyes, “I do hope not, inspector. You’re much more valuable to me alive.”

“Mm? Is that so?” he raised his brow and she smiled languidly, “I suppose I do serve the distinct purpose of overlooking your unconventional approaches to the law, which most others decidedly would not. “

“Oh Jack,” she pouted up at him, her voice becoming more slurred, though he noticed the genuine affection in it as she spoke, ”Surely you don’t think that’s all you’re good for,” she paused for them to share a cheeky look.

He frowned playfully, not noticing that he was now leaning as much into her as she was him, “I can’t imagine what other unique use I might serve, Miss Fisher.”

“I can,” she smiled wickedly and leaned up to kiss him quickly, which he allowed, despite himself. “Now stop being cross at me,” she whispered against his lips, “We both know we would’ve been stuck there at least another hour had I not whisked you away.”

He huffed indignantly, but catching the sparkle in her eye, quickly bobbed his head side to side with a resigned roll of his eyes, “Perhaps.”

She looked utterly triumphant, beaming up at him, and he was reminded once again that he was completely and irrevocably in love with her. “Now aren’t you going to say ‘thank you’?”

He considered her for a moment, all other exiting guests invisible and irrelevant now, and then leaned in to lay a trail of soft kisses down the bridge of her nose, a murmured ‘thank you’ between each one. When he met her again at her lips, her eyes were half-closed and a blissful warmth covered her features. “That’s a start, inspector, but I’m not sure I’m convinced of your gratitude just yet.”

“Well,” he smiled, pressing his lips to hers, “Good thing the night is young, Miss Fisher.”
