[klainepornytourney]

Hi!

What the hell is going on here, you ask?

Simply put, we’re here for the fuck of it. That is to say, for the fun of our boys and their, er, polls. 😏

We want to show our love for all the smuttiest, most glorious, gratuitous fics that have entertained us since Kurt and Blaine first touched…lips. Fingertips? Let’s be real, soon as their eyes met, the eye fucking swiftly evolved into, well, fucking in the brains of fans around the globe. So, here we are!

The fic tournament will start late February, and run until we're all out of polls. In the mean time, we'll be posting a few fun polls per week about Kurt and Blaine, and their sex lives, so get your headcanons ready and start voting!

While we are supportive of all the ways Kurt and Blaine are DTF, we (unfortunately) DNF with certain kinks and tropes which you might notice the absence of in our posts/polls/tournaments.

You'll find the hows, whats and whatnots under the cut, along with the links to poll masterposts, and if your question isn't answered there, please send us an ask and we'll get back to you!

Which fics will qualify? Any completed E rated Klaine fic posted on ao3 between 2010 and 2023, that is under 10k words and written in English. (Sorry longer fics, you usually have too much plot between all the porny bits and we don't have time to read you all.)

How will the tournament run? We're still working out the exact details of it, so this answer will be updated with more info soon!

How will we keep things fun for everyone? If you want to be excluded, send us an ask and we'll take you off the list, no questions asked. We'll only be naming the fic titles and including fic links in our posts, so there won't be any blogs tagged or ao3 accounts linked. The different kinks and tropes categories will have their own tags so you can filter out anything you don't want to see, while still getting the rest of the polls. We'll provide you with a full list of categories and tags when we've finalized the tournament design.

What will we NOT include? Anything nobody in our group is willing to read. Currently, that list includes mpreg, bestiality, dub/noncon, b!p, adult/minor relationships (unless the 'adult' is 18/19), cheating, incest, watersports/scat, Karofsky, slavery, A/B/O, or fics where they're younger than 15.

We're aware that this may mean some of your fav fics won't be included, but we can only include fics that at least one of us will read due to the selection process.

How do we select fics? Scrolling. So much scrolling. We made lists of all the fics that meet the basic requirements, and then divided them up and started skimming them (okay fine, we ended up reading most of them) to be sure there were no hidden untagged triggers or unhappy endings. Fic quality or popularity was not a factor.

Are there any fics that will be polled differently from the rest? Yes! Some authors have been so particularly prolific, that there's just too much smutty goodness to choose from. Instead, they will have their own categories to narrow the options down before the winners join the general tournament. Again, if you're one of them and don't want to be included, let us know!

If there are a lot of fics in one category, then we'll seed (pun intended) some fics to the next rounds based on publish date.

Will it only be Klaine fics? Of course! They might have some (male) friends along for the ride, or a spectator or three, but they will always both be there, either in person or digitally.

How do I decide which fic to vote for? That's completely up to you! You can vote because you like the author, because it got your motor running, or just because the other one sucked in a not so fun way. Be as subjective or objective as you want, it's porn after all and my kink may not be yours! ;)

Are there any rules for reblogging or commenting on tournament polls? We ask that you don't name any authors or link to their blogs unless you have explicit permission from them. If you come across a fic or a kink you don't like, just filter it out and move on. This tournament is supposed to be fun and we will not tolerate any (kink) shaming or bullying.

As cliché as it sounds, everyone is a winner here. We chose the tournament style for this blog because polls are fun and we like to click things, but the real goal is to celebrate ALL the smut we as a fandom have been so lucky to receive.

Will you reveal yourselves? Nope.

We hope everyone will have just as much fun reading and voting as we had setting this up!

Lately, I've been wandering around a bit, reading stories in younger fandoms. I've stumbled upon some real gems out there, but searching through the stories has made me even more grateful for the many Klaine fanfictions.

I have often wondered, where are my Single Parents, Arranged Marriages, Age Gap, Soulmate, and Fake Relationship stories?

I feel that, perhaps because it has been around for so long, we have such a wide variety of stories and topics for every interest.

I mean, seriously, think about it.

Do you want a 200,000-word fantasy story with its own enchanting lore? Stories with pirates, superheroes, vampires, werewolves, witches, or aliens? Perhaps some steamy D/s narratives set in an entirely new universe? Or how about meticulously researched historical settings that transport you to a different era? Are you intrigued by characters with extraordinary professions or sports skills? Or do you prefer darker, more angsty tales – think mafia, prostitution, or stories of homelessness? Maybe a character has a mental illness or disability?

Whatever you're into, you'll find not just one but a plethora of captivating Klaine stories on diverse and creative topics. And the quality and depth of these stories are often through the roof!

So, a massive shoutout and heartfelt thanks to our amazing fanfiction writers! Your dedication and talent bring so much joy to this fandom, and I'm endlessly grateful for every story you share with us.

I dreamed of you last night! We were in a house and I don't know how many of us were there because some people came and went… a bit like here actually. But there were a few of us around a table talking and we were planning to play a board game. And at one point I said to myself "do you realize that in fact, you are together in real, that you can see eache other?" and I smiled at my neighbor on the left.

We are tiny, but mighty 😁

Hey, klaine fandom? can I just say I’m so glad we're still here??? We may be small compared to years ago, but we are very much alive. with such incredible active creators.

What a blessing to be on tumblr in 2024 with y'all in this lovely little fandom we have here. I love it <33

[mikeysgerard]

You ever clutch your phone to your chest whenever you finish reading a fanfic and you're like, sighing and thinking "yeah, that one's gonna stay with me forever" and smile all content and happy to yourself because you just read the most amazing thing on earth

[wowbright]

Why can't this already be written and downloaded to everyone's brains so I can talk about it with people now?

^ me when writing or thinking about writing fanfic

[ecoterrorist-katara]

I’m so tired of wlw background ships in mlm fandoms.

mlm shippers almost never develop wlw ships to the degree that the audience feels invested in them. The conflict and character development and love story rely on tropes rather than actual narratives, yet fandoms act like they’re doing wlws a favour by shoehorning in this shitty “representation” when it’s just golden retriever x black cat over and over and over again in different fonts.

To be clear I don’t blame anyone for not having big wlw ships, because most major media out there do not have two fully fledged female characters you can ship together. If you want to write mlm ships, good for you! If you want a lazy wlw ship in the background, that’s fine! But don’t act as if the fandom actually cares about them, or that anyone did the legwork to make them characters that you can care about. Most of these female characters are never properly developed in the canon source material, and they’re almost never properly developed in the fanon material either. You can always tell by how these women are like, one archetype + gay (sporty gay, feisty gay, slutty gay etc, like some kind of gay Spice Girls). Yet fandoms just love to act like these background wlws mean so much & have the best love stories & everyone just should ship them. It’s all so performative.

wlws are not an aesthetic. wlws are not 2D happy couples to round out your queer utopia, a queer utopia that somehow still manages to foreground men. Women are always treated as 2D characters in narratives, except now there’s a subgenre where these 2D women are gay. Groundbreaking.

People on here are here because they love something and enjoy it as a release from everyday tension, boredom, struggles. People here have real lives, most are grownups without the time or energy to be anonymous and stir up issues for more followers. They just want to go to their library, find a good story, and escape into a favorite trope about characters they love. The Klaine library has been stellar because they have never forgotten that. Stopandimagineloveforever has been here for as long as I have, and remains committed to the task of supporting klaine fanfic for, is it over a decade now? They have always operated in a very professional manner, largely despite personal feelings they may have toward a story or a person. Over the years, anyone they worked with has done the same. Only in the most extreme circumstances have I ever seen them even waver, and I commend them for that. Our fandom is very, very lucky to have them. And they have respected those who choose to start offshoot contests and support their efforts in large part.

While I see folks I really like, like hkvoyage, sometimes seeming to be shipping seblaine, which I don’t like, I don’t feel the need to block or censor them or to anon myself to mention that they are no longer followed by me and they should stop helping with a library that exists to support klaine. Because that would just be stupid ignorant childish bullshit. I personally like Grant, he seems charming and adorable, but I am allowed to not like Sebastian as I prefer him as the great villian he is. And I actually enjoy Grant’s take on Seb more than his other work, which is why I think so many DO ship the two (or even Kurtbastian) as they like the “bad boy” or currently highly popular in media “anti-hero as central character you love to hate” tropes. He is a so much more “fun” villian than Karovski, who seems truly dark and dangerous and tragic by comparison, and makes me think of Ryan Murphy in high school, iykyk, which I do not like at all. Fandom used to have some brilliant discussions on the show, and some brilliant writers who moved on, sadly. They made you THINK.) I do enjoy those stories where Seb’s villiany, his lies, his cheating and bad behavior, his sluttiness, and his total arrogance do him in, though. I wish it happened in real life more often, js. Seb is perfectly made for politics. Same with Blam, I like Chord, not so much Sam or Chord’s other acting efforts. I think Chris did the best job of trying to salvage a poorly written character throughout the series with his one episode that he was allowed.

And while I love Kurt, and Chris, sometimes my newest favorite authors make Kurt almost uncharacteristically female, or with very feminized characteristics, almost to the exclusion of his masculinity, a take that I personally was never particularly fond of on the show. It is still canon, though, and though I have thoughts about it that involve both the writers and actors on Glee, and shaped further by comments from each over the years, it is fine if writers want that Kurt featured in their stories. I can read it or not, and I don’t offer any criticism to writers who choose that because, again, it can be found in canon. (Even if it wasn’t, it is allowed, but then you are writing another character, imo. Capturing the real Kurt is a true act of genius that I think very few get right, if I am honest. He is a deeply complex character, he has layers, which is a huge part of his attraction for Blaine, who loves the idea of peeling back and enjoying each layer of complexity to the extent that he is never bored and always fascinated, it’s what makes their relationship bond make sense for me.)

I have been in this fandom for going on 14 years now, and I was old before that, and find most people who post know little to nothing about what they are talking about, or sometimes life in general or the topic they are discussing with such vigor in particular, but they think they do. The intelligent, complex, detailed, well-researched, and lively discussions that used to take place here are long gone, because people simply don’t want to hear what they don’t want to hear, like Kurt about his dad’s attempt at sex talk. They choose revised histories and to erase everything they don’t like for their versions, like much of the world today. We all filter through our own lenses. It is simply not worth the discussion anymore, when real life is so dire and critically important, to fight over this. In fact, it is a distraction most of us can ill afford, and no longer enjoyable to grow and learn from others and consider another point of view, as we all feel threatened by differences now. We no longer listen to evidence or opinions, weigh that, and then use our brains to agree to disagree, about particular things, and still enjoy together what parts of fandom we share. God forbid we change our minds or allow for the fact that we can all feel differently about the same characters we love. The same goes for the actors and the lives they show us. I know some people hate Darren’s baggy pants, or Chris’s sky-high hair, and I laugh and think of those folks fondly, not with hate, when I see some things, knowing they will go on a rant because they just will, but knowing they still love these actors so much.

I choose at this point to support Chris and Darren and focus on their career efforts, while reserving my personal opinions for myself and my few friends online, privately, and to love Kurt and Blaine and Klaine, despite some shitty writing at various times through the seasons, and to enjoy the new, and old favorite, Klaine stories I see. If the writing itself is good, I praise and encourage that, especially from new writers, because I know something about that. If it is not to my taste, for any reason, I move on, because someone else may like it. (The squick we used to get from that glee kink site was insane at times, but we all analyzed the hell out of it and what in the show or in real life inspired it and moved through it like little Freuds.) The same goes for klaine art, polls which garner clicks, discussions of glee episodes, and so on. If I don’t like the art (beautiful artwork, especially of Kurt, but tall Blaine is Not Blaine, smol is an essential character trait and shapes his entire being) I now assume No One Cares for a Discussion, sadly, and I just move on.

I even happen to like Kevin and Jenna’s podcast, unlike almost everyone at this point, as I have had a number of things confirmed from this show, which fan discussions, while quite interesting, still cannot do. When the tell us The Quarterback was invasive because it was basically them and not their characters grieving the loss of someone they loved, for our entertainment, and for an almighty dollar, and largely the choice of a very few against the wishes of many; I thought that at the time, though I grieved with them and would have selfishly missed the show deeply, especially at that point of sudden loss. And there is no way that it doesn’t affect how one sees the episode, which is full of traumatized actors giving stunning first takes on camera for voyeurs. Chris, especially, and Naya, for another, carried a tremendous amount of the weight of that episode, as written by RM, along with the older members of the cast, despite my seeing Chord recently say Cory was his best friend on set and that he took his loss very hard at the time, he has next to no presence here in this episode. Darren was a key spokesperson in the days after, though he, too, is minimized in this episode, while Chris himself virtually disappeared in public. That episode simply cannot exist for discussion in a vacuum.

This fandom is united by Klaine and thus includes folks who love both Darren and Chris, so Criss Colfer, at least as friends and former co-workers who exist in the same universe with a shared history, is shipped here by default. So, can’t we just all get along? While we may love one character or actor more than another, we are united in that we have crossover, and always will. These characters, and these actors, respectively, had too much impact in that shared narrative, and as vibrant personalities in real life, to just fade away.

Or we can look at one another across our divisions and choose to kill this fandom with foolishness, to the detrement of all. Including the actors.

Anon hate - @klainepolls and @carsonphillips

I want to address the issue of Anon hate to Caroline (carsonphillips) and Klainepolls.  At the very beginning, when the polls seemed to me to be anti-Blaine, I did Anon saying would they please stop the negativity towards Blaine.  Then when I saw the poll about whether Blaine cheat again  - I sent them a message asking "would the next poll be about Kurt accepting phone numbers from weird guys in music shops"  or something like that.  Because yes, I was pissed off with the cheating poll, and should have calmed down before hitting the send button. When people talk about "Anon hate" - to me that meant being nasty and calling names etc.  I want to make it clear that I was never nasty in my messages, I hope Caroline knows that was not my intention, maybe my tone was upsetting or annoying. (if any were nasty, I want to let her know it wasn't me. Plus I have seen some she posted that are definitely not me.) I know Caroline has said she is receiving a lot of hateful emails. I want to make it clear that i only sent a few anon, but anyway, I accept I should have sent none.

Yes, i was a dick because i was getting overheated at someone else's view of/hc/jokes about my favorite character. I lost sight of the fact that this was a fictional character, and over reacted, I should have been more mature and had a realty check that there's much more awful things happening irl. I have discussed "anon hate" with another mutual, who has told me that any form of going into a person's inbox to ask them to defend their headcanons can be viewed as a form of harassment, and cause upset. I acknowledge that now.

A few years ago i was accused by someone of sending her anon hate. Even though she was a Klaine fan, she kept saying things which I didn't like about Blaine and Blam.   She wouldn't answer my personal messages.   So in a short period I sent Anon to her asking her to justify what she was saying  about Blaine and Blam -  but I never said anything mean to her, but i can see they were annoying.   She obviously called me out on her blog.   So I learnt to be careful what to send anon after that, but in last few weeks due to crabbiness and lack of judgement, I messaged Caroline/Kp by anon, when I shouldn't have.  

~~~~

I want to take this opportunity to publicly apologise to Caroline and Genevieve for any insult or upset I caused them.

Going forward, I don't intend to use my blog, I won't be engaging with anyone anymore from it. I will be taking a break from tumblr, and assess in six months time what I will do with my blog.

With regards to the library, Caroline messaged @stopandimagineloveforever to ask how I can continue to help there, people think their fics will not be promoted. That would not happen. I am currently discussing the way forward with @stopandimagineloveforever.

~~~~

We all make mistakes. I hope my apologies can be accepted, and we can all move on.

[angelhummel]

there were too many awful suggestions to include them all but it's done!!! terrible job everyone <3

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Do you ship it?

[klainesecretsanta2024]

We have finally sent out all the giftee assignments, please check your mailboxes 📬, Santas!

Sorry again for the delay and thanks for your patience!

Artists! I love you all! ❤️ I'm painfully aware that Secret Santa is heavily writer-centric, and while I wanted to protect artists this year (including myself, lol), I failed miserably. I'm sorry. Please find something in the list to cling to (au, age, place, profession, crossover, other fave characters, mood), or go with what you know about your giftee and be creative!!!

Love for Heartstopper

Okay, I'm really pissed off at Netflix right now and I'm trying to get my ghost boys back. So I've been on their Insta page a lot, leaving comments.

They just posted a cute video for Heartstopper S3 where the two boys are kissing (link).

This video is currently being flooded with homophobic hate comments and gifs! I haven't seen this much hate on any of their other posts in the last month and it makes me so angry! I don't know if there is a group specifically organized around this video because the other posts on Heartstopper don't look that bad.

So I would like to ask you to leave a nice comment on this post, whether you like Heartstopper or not. I think we should all stick together for all our queer shows. Maybe that way we can counteract the flood of negative comments.

PS Sorry for tagging all the fandoms, I know it's a bit like spam, but I just want to reach out to all the fandoms I am an active part of!

[mynonah]

Hi everyone! <3

It seems like the last few months of the year will be full of awesome events in fandom, so before I do anything I'd like to ask you all if you still have interest/capacity for Klaine Secret Santa this year? Unfortunately, @quizasvivamos doesn't have time for doing this lovely event this year due to her other commitments, but if you're interested, I'd be happy to organize it with @esilher's help.

[justgleekout]

welp, seems like we have lost another klaine creator to a different fandom... you havent posted anything new in a while anyway so i guess we should've seen it coming. it was nice knowing ya. enjoy the straight couple I guess

Excuse me? Are we not allowed to have multiple interests anymore? I post about Bridgerton for 1 (one) day and this is what I get?

News flash! This is tumblr. The place for hyperfixations. I do not suddenly stop enjoying one thing simply because I also enjoy something else as well. But please just let me like what I like when I like it on my own personal blog, please?

Also, I know I haven’t been posting much art lately and I’m sorry, but have you considered there might be other reasons for me to not drop new fanart art on a daily basis? I am extremely busy with three jobs and mental health struggles so, fuck you, actually.

And btw, I don’t owe you anything?? So maybe just mind your own business and make your own content instead of sending hostile messages to strangers on the internet who are doing their damn best?

Be better. Have a nice day.

The Warblers are like rockstars here! This week, Emily and V look at the juggernaut slash ship to come out of Glee: Kurt Hummel/Blaine Anderson, AKA Klaine, which was born in the space of three glorious musical minutes this week in fandom history in 2010, when Blaine (Darren Criss) serenaded Kurt and the rest of Dalton Academy's student body with an accappella rendition of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and hearts around the world exploded into confetti and tiny birds. We also discuss the logistics of using slushies as a weapon for an INORDINATE length of time. Were you a Klaine shipper? What did YOU miss on Glee?
