Is This the End? - Chapter 1 - In_Over_My_Head, SunflowerQueen (Always_MimiTs) - Teen Wolf (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Is This the End?

Steter / Explicit

@steter-bang @twbingo (Deus Ex Machina)

Summary:

When a witch comes to you in your dreams asking you to help a couple of guys save all the worlds’, you have to help, right? Traveling between dimensions with his most trusted packmate, Stiles finds lost family, meets angels and demons, and has his view on good and evil completely flipped on its head. Combining his old pack and new family, he has to use his magic to find a way into the Empty and help his uncles, Sam and Dean Winchester, face the ultimate boss battle. When Jack, whose father is the devil for fucks sake, describes what the Empty looks like, Stiles realizes that he’s been there before. It was the one place he never wanted to go back to. As if magic panic attacks, growling packmates, interdimensional travel, teleporting, angels, and demons weren’t enough, he decides it’s time to finally tell Peter how he feels. He just can’t risk dying again with his wolf in the dark.

Plus, God’s name is Chuck…seriously?

I started this story a year ago and just kept coming back to it to add little bits and pieces. This year's Steter Big Bang gave me the push I needed to finally finish it!

Thanks to all my beta readers for helping me control my comma issues, especially @always-mimits (SunflowerQueen), who made it all the way to the end with me and added their artistic flare!

Peter: Do you wanna go to the bedroom? Stiles: We just had dinner. Don't we have to wait an hour? Peter: I think that's for swimming, babe.

Another WIP Wednesday already! Here’s a little bit from the ranch AU I’m writing for the @steter-bang :)

Gerard smiles, and it makes Peter shudder. He’s never seen a more unpleasant smile in his life.

“Now, be reasonable, Peter. Times are tough. We’re all just waiting on a fire to get too close, the animals to get sick, the winter to be too long. One of these days, you could be begging me to take this ranch off your hands.”

Peter saunters closer. “Even if every one of my cows died, my land was charred black, and we were literally the last two ranchers on the planet, I wouldn’t sell this ranch to you,” he says evenly.

“Now you listen to me,” Argent starts, but then he stops, eyes narrowing at something over Peter’s shoulder.

Peter looks around, and there’s Stiles, standing by the corner of the house, looking like he’d like to turn right around and head back the way he came.

“Sorry,” Stiles says, “Didn’t mean to interrupt.”

“Figures you’d wash up here,” Argent snarls at him. “It would take a worthless operation like this to take you on board.”

“That’s a lot of sailor metaphors for a place as landlocked as this,” Stiles replies.

When I Started: November 2022, for the Steter Secret Santa.

How I Lost My Shit: Like with my last chaptered Steter fic, I thought for sure it'd be shorter than it ended up being. I got 3 chapters done by the deadline for the Secret Santa event. I even got 2 more chapters done at the beginning of this year. And then I dropped the ball. Because me getting something finished without a deadline looming? It's less likely than you think! 🙈

How I Finished My Shit: Because it worked so well last year, I signed up for the WIP Big Bang again. But because there was so much time before posting would begin, my brain went "You know what's much cooler than writing? Starting your nth crocheting project! And reading lots and lots of books. What could go wrong?" Well, what could go wrong was this: Starting to work on the fic again so late that the first participants of the event had already started posting before I opened my document to reread what I already had. Whoops? And because I apparently don't learn from past mistakes, I needed 2 extensions again. Because I didn't account for the ECS (the Exploding Chapter Syndrome). Meaning, I innocently believed I'd be able to maintain my previously established average word count per chapter. News flash: Of course I didn't. 🙄 But I did it! And this year, I only needed one half-nighter instead of two all-nighters to get it done. (I won't mention that I stayed 14k under last year's fic. I'll choose to imagine I got a little better at time management, instead. 😇)

Talking about OtOS 1.5 & WIP Whenever

My poll ended in a narrow win for the prompt 'Kidnapping' (which will be a bit of background for OtOS), so here I am to talk about it! :D

(also @beaconfeels tagged me for the WIP Whenever, so linking a WIP piece with talking about the fic felt right 💕💕💕)

First, for those who don't know what OtOS is, it's full name is "On The Other Side" and it was my entry for the Steter Mini Bang in 2022! It's a Teen Wolf AU with Peter and Stiles both owning coffee shops on the same street right across each other. But while Peter owns the Sunny Corner which is open during the day, Stiles just started with his night café The Dark Side.

I kept the supernatural vibe and lost most of everything else in this story and the main focus is on Stiles' and Peter's building relationship and the drama that emerges thanks to some miscommunication and the trauma Peter carries around from his last relationship.

The 'Kidnapping' prompt will tell the story about said relationship - or rather the end of it :D (cut, bc kinda maybe some spoilers? XD)

But first, you get the promised WIP piece ;D

Peter Hale had a new routine and Stiles didn't quite know what to do with it. Each and every morning, about an hour before Peter had to see to getting his own coffee shop ready for the day's work, he would stop by The Dark Side and drink a coffee at the counter while Stiles was starting with closing down the shop for the night. On the one side, Stiles was charmed. He wasn't used to a possible maybe-significant-other seeking him out like this each morning just to spend time with him. On the other hand there still were some rough patches, unhealed hurt and insecurities after Peter's outburst that hadn't quite yet healed. Oh, they talked and bantered a lot during these mornings - not all the time and they usually had maybe half an hour before Peter started his day, but what Stiles had started before everything had gone to shit for a while certainly was built back up word by word, truth by truth, snark by snark. Sometimes he even caught himself at telling Peter things he'd yet to tell anyone else and Peter, too, had started to open up to him again. It still surprised Stiles when Peter, who had stayed uncharacteristically silent the whole morning, had suddenly spoken up about the reason he'd been so harsh to him in the first place: Morgan.

Sooo, Morgan :D

The eagle-eyed (or big brained) of you, have seen/remembered the few pieces about Peter's last relationship that I have strewn around OtOS. Morgan was a mage (and yes. I'm using 'was' very purposefully here) who had appealed mostly to Peter's vanity and ego tbh 😂

He actually was powerful - probably not as powerful as Stiles, but still not weak - and the reason he seduced Peter was, to get even more powerful by using the internal magic of a wolf shifter in a not very survivable ritual for said werewolf :D....

Soo, yeah, that's what this fic will be about 😂

It's gonna be shorter than originally planned - I actually intended to write part 2 to OtOS and this story should have been part of it, but it kinda fits to take this story out of the main idea (and that also helps with actually finishing it for the Bingo 😂), so yeah.

Short fic about what Morgan did to Peter and how Peter got out of it (hint: he would have been fucked if he had been alone. Thus the trauma around mages).

If you want to know more or some specific stuff, asks/questions are very welcome xD

My fandom fic events in 2023

I THRIVE on events. They've been absolutely integral to my ability to write fic this year, and I'm really proud of what I've done. That said - I absolutely participated in WAY too many. There are a number of fics that I was involved with that don't show up in my ao3 stats and that's okay! I'ma just... list them out akdjhgk

7 fics (or 13,394 words) this year were posted for the Stiles Shipping Server's monthly ficlet exchange.

2 fics and 4ish art pieces were done for the @stacksonreversebang

1 fic was written for the Sterek VDay Exchange, but my participation was revoked.

1 art was posted for @stetervalentines2023

3 arts and 1 podfic were posted for the @steter-bang

1 fic was posted for the @teenwolfminibang

1 art was posted for the @teenwolfminibang

1 item was posted for the @sterekreversechallenges 1000 cakes event

2 Major arts and uh at least 4 minors arts were posted for the @wipbigbang

1 fic (and my longest solo fic ever) was written for the @wipbigbang

1 art which is not currently posted but will be revealed by the end of the year is for the @stereksecretsanta

Upcoming Events and Projects for 2024

The first thing that's going to be 'posted' is the Sterek Reverse Challenges 1000 Cakes anonymous work, which will be revealed Jan 6th.

Events:

Stiles Shipping Server monthly ficlet exchange - many more months will be participated in again

@sterekposevents - probably gonna write smth for this next year (stares forlornly at my unfinished summer wip)

If the Stackson Reverse Bang runs again, I will absolutely participate in that, but i will definitely not commit to 4 projects!!!!

Absolutely the next go around for Sterek Reverse Challenges!!! I love reverse bangs (and bang in general)

If I do the Steter bang again I will not sign up for as many projects because I did too much all at once and it was stressful.

I will likely participate in at least 1 vday event and at least 1 santa event. (:

There is one event I will definitely be participating in but the event itself has not been announced yet so I won't talk about it... publicly. If you're into Sterek and Events you can DM me for Spoilers though~ ;*

Projects:

Addabge Dmaddiage - Sterek MedFantasy Omegaverse Arranged Married Dark-ish fic. Currently Writing

Higher Education 2: Electric Boogaloo - I already have over 2k written, I just need to finish it.

Vampire!Stiles Sterek fic, which I will hopefully be doing for one of the events

Stackson MedFantasy Bastard Prince x Freedom Fighter AU

New! Sex for Work - Sterek office sex AU: Next chapter and/or Rewrite and/or Finish (low priority)

Sciles in Ancient Greece - this is possibly more of a long form poem than fic? We'll see how it goes ? low priority

Rules, Tags & Rambling below the cut!

I technically have a massive list of WIPs and Prompts I am constantly working from. I pick the ideas when they feel happy in my brain for "free time" writing - I actually meant to work on the office sex AU for the month of december but got whacked upside the head with Addabge Dmaddiage. UMS was my FIRST "long fic" ever so I am... feeling really, really invigorated.

in 2021 I climbed out of my writing hole where I hadn't written seriously in over a decade. That year, I wrote and shared 22,418 words by myself, and wrote half of a 69,599 (incomplete, part 1) role-play fic with a friend. At the start of 2022, I watched teen wolf for the first time because @sinnabon-cosplay is a menace and can't be stopped. It lit an absolute FIRE beneath me and I lost all control of my life. I started writing and drawing with a wholly renewed fury. I started doing way more events and wrote and posted 40,247 words. At the end of the year, I thought to myself - wow, wouldn't it be cool if i doubled my word count again? 80k? haha, that probably won't happen though. I'll be excited if I write and post 60k.

YALL. I wrote and posted 60k in ONE FIC. I wrote and posted over 120k?????? that's INSANE to me. I haven't had that much drive to create since I was in high school.

Teen Wolf is like... fixing my brain chemistry. I feel so invigorated.

Despite some setbacks with some REALLY unfortunate Sterek fans at the start of my experience here nearly tanking my creative drive, I've managed to stay on track without totally losing my love for the ship because of some rotten eggs. Shoutout to all my homies keeping the space worth hanging around in. I appreciate yall so much <3

Rules: Feel free to show whatever stats you have. Only want to show Ao3 stats? Rock on. Want to include some quantitative info instead of stats? Please do this. Want to change how yours is presented? Absolutely do that. Would rather eat glass than do this? Please don’t eat glass but don’t feel like you have to do this either.

[steterweek]

Do you have a Discord?

Hi there!

There is no discord server for Steter Week. Steter Week isn't an super structured event like a Big Bang, and so we don't need a way to communicate outside of the tumblr (that said, when this mod team was also running the BB, we also didn't have a server, so we might just not be server folks). The best way to reach us mods is via tumblr asks, or responding to one of our posts.

If you are looking to connect with other participants, we know that there are other active Steter servers out there, and I would bet that some of the folks in those servers are going to participate in Steter Week. If you need an invite to one of these servers, shoot us a message off anon and we'll help you get hooked up.

[anaxandria-writes]

20 questions for fic writers!

Thanks for the tag @lumosatnight [see here]!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Technically 50 (I think) because one of them is in an anonymous collection so AO3 is telling me 49. I’m considering putting some more earlier works as anonymous so that number might change soon.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

245,593… but I haven’t written at least 100k of that because they’re collabs where I did art (such as WLW Big Bang 2022).

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling (44)

Teen Wolf (3)

Marvel (3)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Three Days, Three Perspectives [Drarry, E, 6.5k]

An Expensive Courtship [Drarry, E, 10.9k]

Petrichor [Steter, T, 2.5k]

Snapshots of a Pregnancy [Drarry, T, 3.8k]

🙀 ➡ 😻 ➡ 😽 [Stony, T, 5.2k]

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I’m terrible about doing this, so I’m very sporadic about it, but every comment means so much to me! I just see it and if I don’t respond immediately, they just pile up and then I never get to it? 100% getting better at replying with my ongoing WIP, What Large Hands You Have (The Better to Embrace You With) [Steter, M, 14.7k so far], since I’m posting as I write and the encouragement means SO much!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Half Past One [Drarry, M, 2.5k] which was a horror fic (my one and only one) that I wrote for a Wheel of Drarry mini exchange. There’s MCD. And gore.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I almost never not write happy endings, BUT I’m going to go with Pinocchio [Neville/Harry, E, 3.9k] because it’s crack-y, fun, and Harry gets off a ton of times. (Mostly unintentionally).

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I’ve had a couple rude-ish comments? Someone said that it would be better if it were longer, which was kind of ??? It was one of my first works and the mods reached out to me about it and they were super supportive and kind. (This is also the fic that is now anonymous, for unrelated reasons.)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I’ve written some PWPs. A little of everything, really… and a fair number of my longer works include some sex scenes. I probably read more kinky content than I write (beyond the watersports fics because apparently I have multiple?), but yeah. Pro-smut here.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Nope. I’ve read a few, but it’s mostly not my thing.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes! And I only found out because the person didn’t realize that it was stealing to repost on Wattpad and then apologized and asked how I felt about it…

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

My tango fic, The Cabeceo [Drarry, E, 1.9k], was translated into Spanish by @stargazing-enby last year for HD Owl Post. Which was such an amazing and wonderful gift to receive, especially because *tango*. I definitely feel like I’ve grown a lot as a writer since I first wrote it, but it’s very near and dear to me and having a translation (which I can read!) even more so. If it gives anyone any ideas… I can read Portuguese and Spanish!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Co-written? No. I’ve done art for various people before and participated in several big bangs/reverse big bangs as both an author and an artist. (ETA: 100% have co-written multiple fics no idea how I forgot those when I first answered)

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

Flintwood. (And yes, I’ve had full on spreads in my journal dedicated to Flintwood.) Don’t ask me why, but those are my athletic rivals to lovers absolute hands down favorite. For Teen Wolf, I started in Steter (so it remains my #1) and one of my all-time top comfort reads is a Steter fic, This Time Around by Green (and someone else who no longer is associated with the work), which I received a bound copy of last year as part of the Renegade Bookbinding Exchange.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

“Green Glows and Ginger Greens” is a Flintwood WIP that I have 20k written of, edited and posted chapter one and it’s been… 2 years. I hope to get back to it (and my other unposted Flintwood hanahaki I’ve been talking about for about as long), but it’s just… not happened.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Idea generation, maybe? I think I tend to be really good at coming up with ideas and starting writing projects that have the potential to be really interesting. I love kind of crack-y ideas, and I’ve been trying to be better at actually delving into those instead of going “this is too weird, no one will read it.” (Example: I wrote a fic from a bathroom’s POV and it still makes me laugh.)

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I tend to come up with ideas that spiral out of control, but I’m terrible at finishing things so I procrastinate and then it gets rushed and not as strong as it could be. Also not using betas that often because of said procrastination. And feeling awkward about it because I never leave enough time for editing.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I love it, especially when it’s a language I speak and am like “Yes! This adds some cultural context”, etc. But also, such an important thing to get people to double check that before just throwing it in.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Back when I was a wee bb in high school? Either Protector of the Small or Harry Potter. As an adult? Also Harry Potter.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

Completed on AO3? Herbology_Neville and DragonKeeperCW [Neville/Charlie, E, 11k] which was the fic I worked on whenever I was procrastinating on other fics. I’ve always wanted to go back to that universe and just haven’t had a chance, but… Neville and Charlie are adorable and I love them. I’m also loving the fic I’m posting now, as mentioned it’s What Large Hands You Have (The Better To Embrace You With), which was for Steter Bang because it really is reflective a lot of me as a person. Otherwise, I really loved the Green Glows/Snuggling, Smoothies, and Sons-in-Law universe (just need to finish both of those…)

Title: Peter & the Sunflower: Chapter #3 | 1900 - Autumn, Neverland

Pairing: Steter [Stiles + Peter]

Rating: Mature

Warning/Tags:

None

Summary:

“Pan! Come here. I want you to meet some people.” Pan tilted his head and joined Peter, turning to follow the boy’s gaze. He gaped at the three beings below them, sitting like royalty on the smooth obsidian rocks. “Sirens?” he whispered, shocked.  “In a sense, yes. They prefer the term mermaids. However, they are just as deadly and much prettier.”

@steter-stackson-bingo​

Card Number: 107

Square: Sirens Are Mermans

1900 — Autumn, Neverland 

Pan fell in love with his new home. Neverland was beautiful and he relished in all the serenity. There were so many colors, such a glorious thing to see after hatching to find a barren ash colored wasteland instead of the meadow of helianthus it should’ve been. 

He came to Neverland with nothing but after a week had more than he could ever possibly use. Peter offered to teach him how to make clothes if he wanted to. Pan was delighted to learn and now had one set of clothes for each day of the week. He still went barefoot but would now wear a small tunic made from one of Peter’s favorite tunics, a little belt to tie it made from leather and a tiny pair of pants made from the same material as Peter’s tights. His favorites to wear were the red tunic, black belt and black pants since they matched his wings. He also learned to make a small quilt for his feather bed. It was fun to learn, and he grew closer with Peter during that time.  

A few months later, Peter led him to the Numquam Grotto, also known as the Never Grotto. It stole Pan’s breath, his amber eyes wide with awe and wonder. The moon was high and full in the sky as they whizzed through the cavernous space. With giggles like bells, Pan trailed his fingers and toes through the water, using some of his magic to flick water at Peter. 

The Never Boy laughed and shot ahead before doubling back and letting out a crow. Pan blushed as his stomach flipped a little at the sound. The Never Boy sounded so joyous. The Sióg was starting to realize that he had formed an attachment to Peter. He wasn’t sure what to make of it but at the boy’s beckoning and giant grin, he pushed the thought off for now. 

“Pan! Come here. I want you to meet some people.”

Pan tilted his head and joined Peter, turning to follow the boy’s gaze. He gaped at the three beings below them, sitting like royalty on the smooth obsidian rocks. “Sirens?” he whispered, shocked. 

“In a sense, yes. They prefer the term mermaids. However, they are just as deadly and much prettier.”

“Oh. Well, I suppose they are pretty. The way they look I’m sure aided them in drawing people in. Then, the deadly part comes into play?” Pan flushed nervously as Peter’s eyes found his own. “They’re your friends?”

“Yep!” Peter said, popping the p. “But, they’re harmless to me and you, okay?” 

Pan sent him a nervous smile. “Promise?”

Peter grinned and held out his pinky. “I promise.”

With a scrunched up nose, Pan wrapped his small pale hand around Peter’s pinkie and shook it. “Good.” They stared at each other for a bit, until a splash of water echoed around the cavern, drawing their attention. 

“A dolphin!” Pan exclaimed in a breathless whisper of excitement, his wings shivering and fluttering. “It’s gorgeous.” His eyes were glued to the way the creature swam, like the goddess had taught her to dance along with the ocean’s rhythm. Pan was unaware of the admiring gaze of the Never Boy who never got tired of seeing the wonder on his friend’s face. 

After the dolphin had disappeared again, Peter gently nudged the Sióg. “Wanna know their names?”

“Uh yes! Absolutely. Um. I mean assuming they don’t mind?”

“Not at all. So first the one there with blue shells and blue scales with hair like golden sun rays is named Nymeria but I call her Nym or Ria. Second is the raven haired woman there with emerald shells and emerald scales. Her name is Rhymise but I call her Rhys or Ry. Then, last but not least, the one there with lavender shells, lavender scales and hair like a dragon’s fire is Philomena but I call her Mena.”

“Woah,” Pan said softly. “I thought merfolk were super secret or at least isolated. How come they’re not?”

Peter glanced at Pan and then shrugged one shoulder, seemingly nonchalant but his cheeks pinked as he said, “There was a terrible hurricane one year, stretched from the water’s surface to the bottom of the ocean. They were the only ones to survive. I offered them a haven. Here they aren’t disturbed by anyone. Here they don’t have to be afraid.”

Pan’s heart began to race as he admired the blush on Peter’s cheeks, his wings shivering with pride. He had to push away the stray thought that had been plaguing his mind lately. He couldn’t push it away completely though and so, in his mind, only to himself he would agree that Peter would be the perfect maité for him, or for any Sióg really but such things were the things of dreams, not reality. 

“Oh, fair maidens of Poseidon, I have returned. Where’s my hello, Nym, Rhys, and Mena?”

The three mermaids whipped their heads in Peter’s direction and trilled happily as they leapt into the water and swam toward them. “Hello, Peter!” they sang out, their teeth sharp, and deadly and yet hauntingly beautiful. “We missed you!”

Pan’s stomach clenched at the sight of utter adoration in their eyes but when he looked at Peter, sure he’d find the same adoration in his, he was shocked to find the Never Boy completely oblivious. In a way, Pan was glad, because if Peter recognized the look in their eyes, surely he’d recognize the same look in Pan’s eyes. 

Unaware of his new friend’s internal struggles, Peter regaled the maids with tales of his adventures, and Pan found himself just as enraptured by them as the maids were. 

When it came time to leave, Pan was speechless as the maids each offered him a small shell. It was their approval of him, and he tried not to get emotional when he promised he’d return to play soon. 

Peter kept close to him that night, sensing his friend’s emotions and Pan was grateful for the closeness, but even more grateful that the Never Boy didn’t ask what was wrong. 

As Peter slipped into dreamland, Pan, curled up in his meadowlark feather bed, remained awake. It was nearly impossible to fall asleep, for the emotional toll he experienced with the maids made his heart hurt too much to so easily greet the sandman. 

When he had cradled those small shells and had met the gazes of the maids, Pan couldn’t help that he desperately missed his parents. So, confident that the Never Boy was finally asleep, Pan began to cry, the sound of snare drums echoing in the small house as he finally began to grieve. He wept for his parents, wept the hatchlings that never got to live, wept the helianthus blossoms that never bloomed, the flora, the fauna and the goddess herself, for all who were marked by the fire in the valley. Only then, after hours had passed and the sun began to rise, did Pan finally succumb to sleep.

When I Started: November 2022, for the Steter Secret Santa.

How I Lost My Shit: Like with my last chaptered Steter fic, I thought for sure it’d be shorter than it ended up being. I got 3 chapters done by the deadline for the Secret Santa event. I even got 2 more chapters done at the beginning of this year. And then I dropped the ball. Because me getting something finished without a deadline looming? It’s less likely than you think! 🙈

How I Finished My Shit: Because it worked so well last year, I signed up for the WIP Big Bang again. But because there was so much time before posting would begin, my brain went “You know what’s much cooler than writing? Starting your nth crocheting project! And reading lots and lots of books. What could go wrong?”Well, what could go wrong was this: Starting to work on the fic again so late that the first participants of the event had already started posting before I opened my document to reread what I already had. Whoops?And because I apparently don’t learn from past mistakes, I needed 2 extensions again. Because I didn’t account for the ECS (the Exploding Chapter Syndrome). Meaning, I innocently believed I’d be able to maintain my previously established average word count per chapter.News flash: Of course I didn’t. 🙄But I did it! And this year, I only needed one half-nighter instead of two all-nighters to get it done. (I won’t mention that I stayed 14k under last year’s fic. I’ll choose to imagine I got a little better at time management, instead. 😇)

Steter Bang 2024 Q&A

What is a “Bang,” in general? A Big Bang (or “Bang” for short) is a specific type of challenge usually involving long fics and accompanying artwork. Read more about Big Bangs and their history on the Fanlore website here. What is the Steter Bang? It’s a Steter focused Bang! We’re big lovers of Teen Wolf’s Peter Hale/Stiles Stilniski round these here parts. If you’re here, you hopefully are too! 🤣 Since we want to spread as much Steter love as possible, we’re expanding on the exact definition of “long fic” and the exact definition of “accompanying artwork” for this event.

Expanding on? Yup! We’re doing two tracks again this year: the Big Bang track and the Mini Bang track. For the Mini Bang track, we’re asking for a 1,000-word minimum story. For the Big Bang track, you’re signing up for a 10,000-word minimum story (which is more in line with traditional “Big Bang” events!). And for the “accompanying artwork” part, we’re broadening that definition to include all sorts of transformative fanworks. Some examples could be: manips, mood boards, playlist, icons, vids, filk, podfic, embroidery, tarot cards, fanart, ficbinding, or remixes of fanfiction.

I’ve seen most of these but what’s a “remix?” Let me explain…“No, there is too much. Let me sum up.” (Sorry, couldn’t resist a Princess Bride reference.) A remix is a new fanwork that reimagines an earlier fanwork. This could be by role reversal, a POV flip, a sequel or a prequel, or lots of other things! It should stay true to the definition of a transformative work and “add something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the [source] with new expression, meaning, or message.”Check out the Fanlore page on remixes right here. Now give me the nitty-gritty details. Although every fandom runs Bangs slightly differently, we’re mirroring what we consider a more traditional Big Bang event format. Everyone will sign up and pick which track they want to do–Mini Bang or Big Bang–and whether they want to participate as a writer or an artist (don’t worry, we’re including all sorts of fanwork creators as artists–see above!). Writers will have a slightly shorter sign-up period so that they have time to get their summaries to us. We’re going to allow a slightly longer sign-up period for any last minute artists to hop on board. It’s going to be the same sign-up form, we’ll just edit it when we’re no longer allowing writer sign-ups. Writers will have just under a week to work on their summaries (including tags they feel may be relevant and info on anything that would be considered an archive warning). Once artist sign-ups close, we’ll send out the summaries to the artists. Artists then choose their top 5 fics that they’d like to create a fanwork for. We’ll do some Excel wizardry to match everyone up and send out info on partners the following day. We’re not setting a strict timeline for hand-offs this year (although, we’re more than happy to give you a deadline if you need one!), so you’ll need to work with your partner on your own timelines for getting both works done. We really want writers to consider that you may need to hand over your completed fic well before the event is done (possibly halfway through!). If your partner is doing a podfic or a ficbind or some other fanwork that requires a completed work, then you’ll need to factor this into your schedule. I’ve never done a fandom event like this, though… The best time to start is now!! If you feel you can’t draw or can’t write, then create a mood board & a playlist! Or make a vid! Or create a podfic! As Neil Gaiman once said, “[W]e can take joy in the act of creation.” Dive in and experience that joy for yourself. And we’ll be there every step of the way, if you need any help! Alright, I’m in. What next? Yay! We’re excited to have you join! Here’s what to do next:

okay idk if you've listened to evermore but i cant stop thinking about tis the damn season and dorothea being about kylux, with hux being dorothea and then i get sad lol

IM SO FASCINATED BY OUR DIFFERING KYLUX EVERMORE THOUGHTS OH MY GOD

I’m a folklore girlie at my CORE even tho I’ve been listening since debut so ofc i also love evermore the VIBES!!

(Hold on im saving this as a draft real quick this is worth getting out of bed to use the computer)

So i absolutely see your point about dorothea, but I think i get lost on that a bit because of the high school themes, and at 28 I have so much trouble reading high school aus, they make me feel gross? even college aus are starting to get that way, so I'm mainly writing grad/law school if i play with academia.

(if ur looking through my ao3 bookmarks this doesn't, weirdly, apply to ships i discovered WHILE in high school. thank god, I read so much steter fan fiction when I'm in a particularly foul mood.)

TIS THE DAMN SEASON THO

now that's a got the germination of a fic in me. It hasn't made the list of "actual aus I'm going to write" but it'll get there once I have even a HINT of plot.

I have a big au in my head about champagne problems as the starting song from Hux's POV, where he turns down the proposal of the proper society candidate and then runs away and meets kylo and it's a whirlwind romance?? I love that shit, I swear??

but RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME IS MY BIGGEST FUCKING HUX SONG THO

like imagine a world were they wERE together and then starkiller happened and everything goes to shit and it's over, but KYLO NEVER SAYS ANYTHING and hux iS STILL AT THE REST-AU-RANT

I have cried to this au that exists ONLY IN MY HEAD

REAL HUMAN TEARS ABOUT IT ANON

(It's also on my playlist for the KYlux big bang but in that au it's entirely in kylo's head, and more a statement on his state of mind than the actual plot. THat fic is ONLY GOOD VIBES it's 100k of self indulgence and honestly a shameful amount of smut)

Willow also works for Hux, I feel like? It's an au, obviously, but I'm sure you've all fuckin noticed I only write modern AUs Im an absolute SLUT for them.

I just feel like "They count me out time and time again," and "show me the places were the others gave you scars" are pARTICULARLY good lines for them?

Gold rush is also perfect for any AU were you have Hux feeling self conscious? It's a song that's entirely about not wanting to fall in love, because you think it's not realistic? Like, it's about dreaming how good a love could be and then denying yourself it?

Tolerate it is great for a break up au from Kylo's perspective, absolutely, especially if you make kylo young enough that their age difference is proportional enough to matter, to change the dynamic of their relationship?

This sentence is just an appreciation of no body no crime i'm not using it for a kylux au its just a fuCKING GOOD SONG. Signed, former olive garden employee

Don't get me started on your losing me btw i wILL have a break down.

anyway yes I have mANY THOUGHTS about evermore this is surely both too much and not what you asked for but I hope it was at least enjoyable!!
