“Leave me alone,” Nico spat.

“No,” Jason replied.

And that was that.

^ writing a chb!jason fic, thought you might want to know ;)

i just made an indescribable sound and dropped my phone to bury my face in a pillow AAAAAAAAAAA

[regina-cordium]

🏇!!

this is, at the moment, more vibes and several lines here and there more than a proper wip, but gotta start somewhere i guess?

Jack just grins at her and says, raising his voice to be heard through the window, “Bells rung.” Racetrack stares at him for a second before closing the curtains again, ignoring his laugh as she turns away.

make me work on my wips

one of my favorite things about newsies fanfiction is who they ship crutchie with if it's not jack. they pick a random noun name from the ensemble, give him a backstory, then say "this is the one the wholesome one likes". we've all picked our different people for a reason and we stick with it in our narrative.

WIP Wednesday

I was tagged by both @blurglesmurfklaine and @somanywords so time to share for WIP Wednesday! I actually did spend some time writing today but was cut short/limited due to period cramps trying to kill me. Anyway! I'm actually pretty close to finishing chapter 2 of the juggling AU!

“What did I–” Jack groaned– “Maybe he did something to me.” “Uh-huh,” David said, unimpressed. “He was really angry last night.” “We were talking to our mom. We had an argument.” Jack shrugged. “It happens.” “And you can still apologize,” David said firmly. “Do it for me, so I don’t have to deal with him sulking. I didn’t know it was possible to silently read a textbook that loudly.” “That doesn’t even make sense, Davey.” Jack smiled. “But I’ll talk to him after practice.” He glanced over to where Race was juggling rings. “He’ll bite my head off if I do it now.” “Right,” David said. “Just let me know if you need me to stay out of our room for a bit.” “Race doesn’t like talking about serious shit,” Jack said suddenly. “Just, y’know. If you guys ever get into a fight.” David raised his eyebrows. “Even with you?” “Only on his terms,” Jack explained.

This isn't what I wrote today, but what I wrote today was less dramatic (Sarah and Katherine being cute but also afraid to make a move) so here we are

Gonna tag @agentsnickers @regina-cordium and @we-are-inevitable!

amateur fanfic writer here; is it okay to write fics for ships that aren’t popular? Or friendships that aren’t popular? I want my work to be accepted, but I have this idea of a ship and I haven’t seen it around. I really wanna write it, but I don’t know. I figured you’d be good to ask since I’ve read a lot of your fics, and they’re really good. :(

-albert

Hello friend!

You should absolutely write for whatever ship you feel passionate about!!! Our fandom is on the smaller-side, so I totally get feeling like there isn’t necessarily a lot of variation in fics and pairings since there are fewer of us writing, but honestly, that’s all the more reason to break new ground.

I might not be the best person to ask since I basically only write for Javid, which is one of the most popular newsies ships, but I’m confident that you’ll find an audience for your fics no matter how niche the relationship might seem.

For example, Finn (@agentsnickers) was the first person to publish a Davey/Race/Spot fic on ao3 and even though it’s still a very rare pairing, it’s one of my die hard FAVES! And I never would’ve thought about it if they hadn’t introduced me to the ship.

So, whole heartedly, I say go for it! Every ship needs a captain after all.

And if anyone’s an ass to you about it, tell them to kick rocks. Fanfic is supposed to be fun above all else, and as long as you enjoy what you’re writing, that’s all that matters

At this point I have been tagged by @lailuhhh and @agentsnickers so I am obligated to share a snippet of what I’ve been working on: 

David, the note began, Sarah and Les have left for the distribution yard. Mrs. Hochman will accompany me for my deliveries tonight. “Tonight” had blurred on the wet page, barely maintaining it’s form, hazy like a mirage, like the skyline behind the smoke, like the sun behind the clouds, like the world behind his mother’s lace curtains. The following words—If you see Sarah on your way back, please remind her to get the flour–swam.  

David dug the heel of his hands into his sockets and wiped away the tears. 

The next three lines took up almost two inches of the paper. All of them were different lengths. All of them were scratched out. All of them were completely indecipherable as the ink bled from black to blue and green and purple and brown. 

The water had only started to seep into the final line. It was perfectly legible.  

It is cold. Wear your long johns and your father’s extra gloves; I have not finished repairing the tear in yours. 

I’ll tag @writemetohell if you’d like to join.

And it is another Friday!

This week is very much about catching up on fics that I am reading. As I said, since I read the entirety of the Heroes of Olympus two weekends ago, I lost track of the fics.

“But Yuè, didn’t you also read Trials of Apollo this week?” Yes, yes, I did, but I spread that one more evenly, so I had time to catch up on fics.

Okay, okay, I did read some new stuff, because I am me, and I am a wreck after a *cough* certain moment in the Trials of Apollo. And what do I do? I look up fancontent. I was scrolling through Finn @agentsnickers​’s blog and I found out they wrote for even when i’m far away, i’ll hold you in my heart, which is about Nico finding out about [REDACTED]. I am so sad, but it was a good fucking fic. I also read picking up the pieces, also by Finn, because it caught my eye. I loved this one too.

But now to the catch up! I finished When It’s Right, It’s Right by @cerriddwenluna, and actually a bit earlier than others. Gwen posted the full fic on S&C before AO3! I loved how Gwen managed to sneak so many “swipe left” jokes into this fic.

Another Valentine’s fic I needed to catch up on is @rockitmans‘s Blaine Anderson vs. Valentine’s Day. As I said in a comment, I love Blaine being a nervous wreck! This was very sweet.

We are going back in time to another holiday: Christmas. I still have festive fics to read. Last week I started Scenes from December by @spaceorphan18 and I finished it this week. I was crying by the end of it. This was a good fucking fic.

And just in time for this post, @nausikaaa/@wellbelesbian​ updated blow on the tinder, a fic where Natasha gets Turned instead of killed. I did not expect the romantic Malcolm. I really enjoy this fic.

As usual, here are the tags on my personal blog, for if you want to browse:

Klaine fics (klfics)

Brittana fics (bsfics)

general Glee fics (glee fic)

Whoniverse fics (dw fic)

Oh, and how was Trials of Apollo? I liked it. I really liked the character arc that Lester/Apollo went on. I liked all of the characters, to be honest. I also liked that they split the huge group of characters over the 5 books. Oh, and I liked Will/Nico, and all the other casual queer rep. I do wonder how long this entire universe can go on. Every series starts with “surprise, there is a bigger threat on top of the previous supposedly biggest threat!” and the last book seemed to hint to another series. I have some more thoughts but then we’re getting into spoiler territory. After all I have a lot to say about [REDACTED] from [REDACTED] and the aftermath that followed [REDACTED].
