Nomination Overview - Crack Fic

Oh boy do we have some bangers in this category. Not as many fics here, but every one a gem. I'll give you a hint: we've got mangoball.

Title: And why are you British now?  Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/48950557/chapters/123691441#workskin Fandom: Hermitcraft SMP Author: ace_of_arthropods Relationships: Grian & goodtimeswithscar, Jimmy solidarity & zedaph, rendog & bigb, Joehills & Martyn  Characters: Jimmy solidarity, Joe hills, grian, goodtimeswithscar, zedaph, Martyn inthelittlewood Length of the work: 11,506 words (incomplete fic) Genre: Crack Fic, Fluff Type: Fic Summary: “Wait a second...” Grian suddenly had an idea of what might have happened. He hastily dug through his horribly unorganized inventory for something with a mirrored surface. He eventually found a hand mirror with golden decorations, which he'd never seen before, and looked into it. A scarred face with dark green eyes looked back at him. “Oh no,” Grian said, in Scar's voice. (After double life, everyone returns to their home servers... or rather, their soulmate's home server, in their soulmate's body. Shenanigans ensue.)

Title: A Jackerella Story Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/38446057/chapters/96084898 Fandom: Dream SMP Author: wetchickenbreast Relationships: Georgenotfound/Jack Manifold Characters: Jack Manifold, GeorgeNotFound, TommyInnit, Wilbur Soot, BadBoyHalo, Tubbo, Ranboo Length of the work: 6,328 words (incomplete fic) Genre: AU, Crack Fic, Drama, Fantasy AU, Humour Type: Fic Summary: Jackerella's life fucking sucks. Her goddamn parents died (how inconsiderate) and now she is stuck living as an indentured servant for her evil stepfamily. Her younger stepsister bites people (he won't stop no matter how many doctors they bring him to) and his older stepsister is a megabitch (also a homewrecker). His only friends are talking rats, so Jack is pretty much waiting on a miracle to get out of this mess... and that miracle comes in the form of a charming prince, some glass shoes, and a demon from hell (and the demon has MASSIVE tits).

I just bawled my eyes out at a fic and I wish to share:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/55157617

Jason having to confront the ghost of his past selves. It's so ouchy but also cathartic 😭

Thanks so much for the ask, anon, and the rec!! 💙 Ouchy but cathartic is a great combo. I must get a particular look when I’m reading sad fics, because this scenario plays out way too often in my household…

Keen: *sitting on the couch crying, hugging her iPad to her chest*

Keen’s partner: you’re reading batfam again, aren’t you

Keen: shut up that’s why

Keen’s partner: aww, sweetie, was Bruce too late again

Keen: *chucks a tissue box at their head*

Keen’s partner: *cackles and runs away*

I’ll add i’d tell them (put me back in it) by doingthewritethings @doingthewritethings to my to to-read list!

[kookabara]

writing pattern tag game :)

post the first line of your last ten posted fics and see if there's a pattern! thanks for the tag, @b10000p <3 i haveee 5 fics to my name, only 1 of them posted (anonymously) so. yeah

“After the cathedral, Lapin doesnt sleep very much.” -an acoc everyone lives no one dies au; this is my newest and very much still in conception

“After they fall, before they hit the water, there is a long period of nothing.” -hannigram post fall, i love her

“Essek returns to Rosahna as Shadowhand to stand at the Bright Queen’s side.” -critical role campaign 2, literally forgot this existed until just now its so buried in the archives

“The first time Draco sees Potter after the war, it’s at his trial.” -yes i wrote a drarry fic no dont worry about it. malfoy becomes a muggle gardener & learns a thing or two about deprogramming

“Steve and Bucky knew each other from a young age.” -stucky soulmate au

i think i very much like to start off with a broad establishing statement. mostly bc this helps me start writing, but also bc i really enjoy interior writing and establishing statements are great for that. these mostly also start in media res too so it throws me into a specific setting and time so i know where im starting at. plus 3 of these are post-canon so some sort of “after” statement just feels natural. idk. beginnings are hard so for me its preferable to start with the most simple and broad beginning possible

2, 6, 14, and 29 for the fic writer asks

2: Do you read/reread your own fics?

Sometimes? If I'm looking for information I wrote into an earlier one, or doing an ask game or something like that. But not "for fun".

6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?

If you'll allow me a very loose definition of "all the time", yeah! A couple that stand out in my brain are

You've Got Time by Alejado (VERY good destiny series centering on a hunter and vex time bullshit)

pov: me when i fucking get you by doingthewritethings (DSMP social media fic crack treated seriously modern day tntduo au where wilbur and quackity are both on the student council and the rituals... are intricate. ft "oh i didn't tell you we were dating? whoops. I have never in my life laughed harder at a fic.)

The City v. Ahamkara by Kangoo (In which the hero of the red war turns out to be an ahamkara, and the resulting court martial splits apart a family)

After me comes the flood by Kangoo (he wrote a character study of my oc and did a better job with her characterization than I ever have lmao)

A pleasure so sublime by Kangoo ('would you still love me if I was a worm?', crack treated seriously, another one that's just so funny I keep coming back to it.)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes by Kangoo (it's just very soft, okay?? the various destiny ocs of the court get stuck in an airport on christmas)

14. If you could see one of your fics adapted into a visual medium, such as comic or film, which fan fic would you pick?

The answer is ITAV, probably. But given that ITAV doesn't yet exist outside of the court's groupchat and me and Kangoo's dms, I'm going to say... probably funeralverse?

29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)

Well, the only fic I've saved cut stuff from is Oberth Manuever, so have some of the first attempt I made at chapter 4 before I changed my mind about a bunch of things.

It had been approximately three days, 15 hours, and 7 minutes since the Atlantic set course for Ganymede,and already Wilbur required the use of all his willpower to keep from pulling his hair out at the roots. Tubbo prattered on obliviously anyway, absorbed enough he didn’t notice the pinched note to Wilbur’s smile or the way his eyes glazed over. It wasn’t his best performance of interest, but it didn’t need to be.  Techno had been gracious enough to lend them use of the bridge console at least, which Tubbo had sworn would make his attempts at decryption go faster. All three of the brats had taken to hovering around the display as though their staring would solve anything. Wilbur just inhaled slowly and took another sip of coffee.  Ranboo had integrated himself into their dynamic with alarming speed. Tommy and Tubbo’s besuited shadow, always the follower and never the instigator. He played lookout and fetched supplies, and always volunteered to take the dishes after meals. At first the possibility of some scheme of masterful manipulation had gotten him excited, but after spending three days in observation, Occam's razor had forced him to conclude they were simply that dull.  Wilbur wanted to scream. Three and a half days out of their two week journey to Ganymede, and all he had to show for his efforts was an amnesiac with an Earther’s accent, and a hard drive full of information they still couldn’t read.

a collaborative poem by me and @doingthewritethings

I could probably write a pretty

good poem about how after my

dad dropped me off for the Peoria

charter bus back to campus on

Sunday he stayed circling the

block and periodically cutting off

traffic to wave at me out of the

window until my bus came

this is the whole poem

you could probably write a poem

about how my pajamas are a t-shirt

i stole from my dad and some

sweatpants i stole from my mom

THAT IS ALREADY THE POEM

yeah but like. you could probably

write a pretty poem

Two months and some minor blegh | Doing the Write Thing #77

It’s been two months since I posted one of these and I’m shook what is time who is she?

Oh boyyyyy. 

This update is going to be brief since it was a lot of re-drafting between editing, but I thought I’d use this space to apologize for my absence on this blog in the last couple of months! School is *so* close to being over, so hopefully once it ends, I can resume normal content, and not go another two months without a DtWT update, lol. I sincerely appreciate the patience!

Daily word count goal: 250

Words written: Not really sure, I was just editing some stuff/finishing up a scene through adding some stuff, so maybe like 300 words? I got the bulk of it done yesterday (around 1000 words I would guess). 

Total word count: 54 353

Total page count: 93

Songs played: No music today!

Things to know: I wasn’t doing *too* much work, just editing a scene to be in past tense, adding some stuff, adjusting more stuff. 

How I felt: Pretty okay until I started drafting drafting again, like blegh, not awful, but not the best, ha. 

Bad haiku to describe writing session: Blegh is when I draft / But it wasn’t all that blegh / Pls school end soon pls

Rating of writing session out of 10 and why: An 8? not exceptional, not bad? Maybe a 7.5?

On a scale from 1-10 my level of stoked-ness is: Oof, lol, I think I need to discuss something with @sarahkelsiwrites​ first because I’m not super down with the tense right now (it’s present as it usually is, but was past in the scene before). I think I just need to edit the very beginning of the new scene I wrote, honestly. 

Lyrics to describe writing session: So I hit my head up against the wall /  Over and over and over and over again

--Amsterdam, Nothing But Thieves

HAAAHA meeeeeeee. tbh the May mood.

GIF to describe writing session: 

where can i get a shirt like that 

Excerpt: 

I dunno how I feel about this but I can’t share anything else oof:

When I made it four almonds in, I switched to the egg. Sliced the yolk with the plastic spoon until it exsanguinated, dribbles catching onto the flecks of flax in the crust. She told me to take it slow, which made me want to take it fast, so I ate it in one go, and swallowed when I didn’t want to. Made it through half the toast before gagging, stomach tousled and confused with its sudden use. She pulled the bucket up in one hand and offered me the clinky glass of water in the next, fingers padded into the glass. When I waved her off, she looked at me like she didn’t understand my hesitation.

Thanks for reading this super quick update! Hopefully regular content will resume shortly! :)
