RULES

ALL works must feature a relationship with 4 or more people as its focus. All configurations are allowed.

NO LIST

The following posts/comments will be removed from the collection, as they're outside of its scope. - Monogamous relationships (I think this is obvious) - Works that focus on OT3s (may I suggest sharing it with @polyamships instead? - RPF featuring non-famous minors (I will not be checking this because I simply do not have the time, so it'll be on the honor system. Please don't abuse the honor system. I don't want to be removing works just because)

pov youre adam maitland watching your wife barbara maitland kiss your shared boyfriend beetlejuice 🙀🙀‼️‼️‼️and are being completely totally normal about it.

(ship art i made for @thy-handsome-soup !)

[alpaca-clouds]

I honestly gotta wonder how monogamous people think polyamory works.

I have now read so many people crying about how Halsin is supposedly so disrespectful for making a move on the player, even when the player is in a relationship already.

And it just leaves me in such a state of confusion. Because it betrays just one thing: Mononormativity and the expectation that Halsin should have a mononormative worldview, even if he himself is polyamorous.

What makes me say that? Well, the outrage of Halsin making a move is about how he should respect the already existing relationship. But... like... As a polyamorous person I really gotta say: Where the fuck is the disrespect in making the move? Especially as he very respectfully says: "Yeah, your current partner needs to be okay with it." And when they are not, he is fine with it.

Again, how do you people believe polyamory works? Sure, there is places in which polyamorous people meet and stuff. But yeah, in general you do might openly communicate with someone already in a relationship.

I mean, like basically everything is supposed to be: Polyamory is all about communication and consent. Which Halsin does well there.

So, no. There is nothing respectless about it. It is just that you want him to assume mononormativity. In a world that well might not be mononormative.

Hello, can you do a lucius malfoy and severus snape (poly again) with reader who likes collecting things? (Like their hearts) Like anything they find cool they take it (even if its from lucius or severus) bonus if they buy them anime figures and/or something similar

Lucius Malfoy x reader x severus snape ( poly )

I don’t why but I chose mushrooms as their special interest lol 💀

You first mentioned your little hobby was when you visited severus in his office with lucius on ministry work, Severus’s collection of weird pickled parts was fascinating to say the least

"I collect mushroom things" "like the red and white print?" "No! Not one type of mushroom, any kind"

It was then that they start to notice the little things related to your hobby

Your mushroom earrings, socks with the prints of different mushrooms on them, even your tinny little tattoo on your pinky toe

Severus also got an answer to why his plant based magazines for potions keep disappearing after he’s finished with them

Lucius does enjoy looking for mushroom like presents for you, he can’t help his excitement when he comes from a trip all giddy to give you something he knows you’ll love

"These are adorable! My very own mushroom tea set! Thank you thank you my love" the kisses afterwards is worth all the hustle

Severus gave you a glass stand with dried up mushrooms in it, it was all things he collected and noticed you looking at in magazines or shops

"Oh my god severus! These are so rare you shouldn’t have…" "Don’t be ridiculous…do you like it?" "I love it, thank you!"

One Halloween they helped you get dressed up as a mushroom fairy

Lucius paid for all the necessities and severus helped with the actual job of stitching and dressing you up

You have a room detected just to your hobby and you’re beginning to question if tell your boyfriends about was a good idea

"Sev and me made this glass mushroom forest for you" "boys it’s beautiful but…I don’t think I have any more space in my house"

Cue lucius telling you to move in already with him in the manner

"Did you know that some mushrooms are so poisonous a little tip touching your skin can give you a terrible rash resulting in your skin falling!"

"I found it both terrifying and endearing the amount of knowledge they have on that" "I think it’s quite remarkable"

Either way they don’t judge you, it’s your thing and it wasn’t hurting anyone so why not just be supportive

I haven't played Fire Emblem Three Houses yet, but this print genuinely makes me want to.

We'll have them at Tsubasacon this coming weekend and on the site now.

Holly Poly Helpers Wanted

Holly Poly is, as the name implies, an exchange for polyamorous relationships. OT3s, OT4s, OT6s, orgies, open relationships, sedoretus, whatever strikes your fancy, as long as it involves three or more entities.

As the event keeps growing every year, we've come to the realization that it's necessary to get more help to deliver the best experience to this year's participants.

Currently, we're looking for 4+ people who can help us with mod duties during this exchange. Below, you can find the different areas where we need help. You can choose to help only with one task, which is why we're including the timeframe for each task as well.

Helpers must be 18+ and be comfortable reviewing all types of content.

We're looking for help with the following tasks:

Help with tagset and nominations (October 2024): This would be checking tagset sanity for both the 2023 tagset and the final 2024 tagset, checking nominations validity and formatting, helping with any editing from the 2023 tagset to the 2024 tagset (i.e. new disambiguations)

Help with social media announcements and pinch hit formatting for those (Mid October 2024-January 2025): We currently use twitter, tumblr, discord, dreamwidth and google groups. If you are proficient in one specific social media site, please let us know.

Help reading/looking over works (Late December 2024-January 2025): This would be checking for Do Not Wants/request fulfilment and completion of stories

FOUR OR MORE 2024 BINGO

AO3 COLLECTION | SQUIDGEWORLD COLLECTION

You thought I would stop at a ficathon? Hell no, I have a vision: a world where we can read about polycules and complicated relationships with four or more people until our eyes hurt and our hearts can't take it anymore.

Let me introduce to you: the 2024 Four or More Bingo!

This is a low-stakes, personal challenge. There's no penalty for not finishing or running late.

Cards will be given from October 20th to December 31st. Fills can be posted to AO3, SQWA or tumblr forever.

GUIDELINES

Any medium! Any rating! As long as your work focuses on a relationship with 4 or more people, it's allowed!

All works must be your own and not previously posted. AI generated works will be deleted from the collections.

You may combine these with other events, as long as the other event allows it (examples are @polyamships ' polyartober, lyricaltitles ' bingo, etc)

Small fandoms welcome!

Don't forget to comply with the community guidelines.

MEDIUM SPECIFIC GUIDELINES

Minimum wordcount for fics is 100 words. There is no maximum

Minimum for art is a sketch on unlined paper (figure sticks allowed!). There is no limit to the quality or effort you want to put in your fills.

Minimum for moodboards is a 3x3 grid (9 images individually or edited in one image). Maximum is given by the place where you decide to post. On tumblr, the maximum is 20 images, but on AO3, you're free!

Minimum for podfic is a 100-word fic. There is no restriction on maximum length or effects.

Minimum for fanvids is 30 seconds. There is no maximum.

Other mediums don't have a minimum. Do you want to make an in-universe magazine for your ship? A cross stich pattern? A sculpture? Go ahead and do it! I look forward to all the things you can create.

Prompts, FAQ and more below the cut!

PROMPTS

The following are the prompts that the bingo card will be generated from. Send us an ask if you want a card, and if you want any prompts specifically excluded from it (you can exclude up to 5 prompts). Feel free to request a new card at any time through December 2024, even if you've already received one. If these prompts seem familiar, it's because most of them come from the ficathon! I've chosen some of the most frequent prompts + some new prompts for added spice.

FUCKASS POLYCULE THINGIE

Multishippers! Choose a character, then put them in a polycule with ALL of your ships for them. That means popular ships, rarepairs, DUMBASS SHITPOST CRACK SHIPS (emphasis on this one), and also throw in the canon pairing(s) as well.

Bonus points if you draw them all together as a polycule! (I didn't because I'm lazy and have other priorities;;)

Here's one of mine!

Character:

Her (fuckass) polycule:
