Madison & More Bingo 🏖🏕🏝

Here are some of my fave (so far) fics and art from the @madisonandmore summer prompt challenge!

Well, the start of September makes it feel like summer is fading. But don't worry, fearless reader! These summery fanfics will make you feel the sun on your face, the sand under your feet, and the scent of fresh-cut grass on the breeze!

Unnameable Truth (M) @thefiveboxingwizards | vacation, less than 5000 words, one-shot

I liked that this was a less sunny/happy/vacation-y story about repression and self-discovery. The summer's not happy and carefree for everyone. But there is hope at the end of this one.

Wasteland Baby (M) @checkdeezpucks | AU, one-shot

This surprised me! Despite the premise sounding a bit incongruous with Check Please, this was a great read. Mad Max Tater/Parse was a longshot for me but you proved me wrong, op. Would definitely not be mad if we got another chapter or two of this 👀

Hot-lanta (G) @justlookfrightened | Zimbits, vacation, one-shot

I keep thinking about this one, and Bitty/Jack's meet-cute and Bitty rollerblading. And quiches. And Tater being wingman!

suddenly this summer it's clear (T) @dessertwaffles | favourite ship, a work that made me laugh, one-shot

I actually snorted out loud while reading this standing out on the sidewalk in a crowd of people while waiting for the streetcar. I have no shame. It's funny and cute, read it!

like an ice cream cone (T) @wrathofthestag | SHITTY KNIGHT!!, food or baking, one-shot

Shitty's backstory is important to me (!!!) and this was great. Discussion question: Is the origin of Shitty's porn-stache tied to the memory of a moustachioed ice cream vendor he idolizes from his youth? You tell me. It was hard to see tiny Shitty going through family problems but his au pair seems like the coolest!

amphibious creatures (T) HowOldAreWe | fave ship, mermaids, frogs 🐸 , multi-chapter

I don't generally go for mermaid AUs but this was juuuust lovely! The frogs are wonderful here, and I really liked the setup and follow-through. And I'm not going to say any more than that Chowder makes a great appearance here :)

Making My Head Spin (E) @justlookfrightened | summer camp, zimbits, multi-chapter

Turns out I like fics where Bitty makes a go of it for the NHL! Loved seeing Jack and Bitty letting down their guard and risking being hurt in this one. Super sweet and a little spicy at the end :) Nothing better than that.

Heard The Mermaids Singing (M) @checkdeezpucks | rarepair, mermaids, one-shot

This was another work that wasn't sun-drenched and happy. I loved to see the gritty, almost gothic setting; loved to see some CP femmeslash. Loved to see the teeth and the texture here. Short and... piquant.

The Way Way North (T) by @mcbangle | zimbits, SHITTY KNIGHT!!, vacation, the beach, work that made me smile, frogs, multi-chapter

I keep thinking about this one. Listen, Shitty Knight is... essential. He is the GLUE that holds together CP Year One for me, okay? I know that this fic is primarily about Bitty and his parents' relationship, and his crush on Jack, and that is all done deftly and wonderfully. But Shitty is the standout for me here. (Also I now need to see the movie this is based on.)

Eelgrass (T) by @perhapsajacket | fave ship, the beach, vacation, multi-chapter (pending)

Just a nice AU where Dex is ho-humming through his vacation until he chances upon the cute local bookshop owner (enter Nursey) who has fallen into a tidepool and needs a hand. What could be more adorable than that? I liked seeing some of Dex's family and backstory here. And I would live to see more 👀

Cowabunga (G) @zimbits-my-love | art, surfing, the beach

This is super cute art and I loved the colour scheme. I can so imagine Bitty and Jack surfing together on vacation!

This was a fun summer challenge, thanks to all the organizers! I will be updating my own work, Summer Gothic, soon with a new chapter. (Sorry, I write slow. 🐌)

Happy 4th of july......Thomas jeffuck ....hhf

[wilhelmified]

i adore wilhelm and felice's best friendism, but I would've LOVED for wilhelm×felice×madison to become a trio, much like simon has ayub and rosh. I think they'd have a very funny and amusing dynamic and I feel so bitter that we never got to see much of it

[madisonandmore]

Well, hello there, honey! Fancy meeting you here!

The weather is (finally) warming up in the Samwell area and we're extremely pleased to announce that Madison & More, a new Check, Please! prompt fest, is now happening!!!

Here are some important details:

☀️The overall theme is Summertime, which could include Madison-based works (timely, since we figure Madison may be on people's minds now that the comic is appearing in mailboxes around the world now!), however prompts and works can be related to any characters or ships doing anything summery (hence the 'More' part of the fest name)!

☀️Prompting will open on AO3 beginning Monday, May 22nd at noon EDT. More on prompting guidelines will be posted here closer to that date!

☀️Prompts will be open for two weeks (until Monday, June 5th) at which point prompts may be claimed.

☀️All types of fanworks are welcome as prompt fills: written fics, podfics, filk/vids, any type of art or handmade fanwork, etc!

☀️Finished works will be due Friday, August 18th at midnight EDT so you'll have pretty much all summer to write, pod, draw, create!!

☀️Works will begin posting the following Monday, August 21st for everyone to enjoy as summer comes to a close.

We had so much fun bringing you @omgauplease in the spring, we just couldn't wait to do it all over again! We hope you will join us for Madison & More!!!

Me with my favorite OCs:

[fantastic-nonsense]

the Big Two need to hire more women to write comics not just for gender parity's sake or so we can get better-written female characters or any of the other dozen completely valid reasons why we need more women in comics, but also because the perspective a lot of women bring to the superhero genre is fundamentally different from the mostly middle-class white men who dominate the genre

like Ivory Madison portraying the cycle of violence and abuse through the parallel institutions of marriage and the mob in Huntress: Year One to showcase how Helena is both a victim and freedom fighter in the context of her family and cultural history....what man would have thought of that? even Greg Rucka didn't do that, and he basically wrote the book on how to write traumatized religious female vigilantes who have complex relationships with their families

[evesedenramblings]

I want to take a moment and make a quick post about what I think Grace’s animal motif means, because I’ve seen a lot of in-depth analysis for other motifs but the discussion around the rabbit gets reduced to fertility which I think is a huge bummer. Funny initially, but now just a bummer.

The rabbit is considered “unclean” in the Bible, but that comes from a mistranslation from the original language being changed to English. Unclean means “morally wrong”, “impure”, and “evil”, so food for thought. Typical ominous motif implications aside, from what else I could find, Grace is basically the opposite of what a rabbit symbolizes: sensitive and gentle. I don’t think I have to explain how those two terms aren’t necessarily the first to pop into mind regarding Grace. However, the rabbit still holds other meanings. The rabbit also represents rebirth and new beginnings, which I think could indicate an upcoming Grace character arc. Since Wolfgang wanted to keep the group together, Grace could be motivated by Wolfgang’s death and try to uphold his wish (or talked/forced into it- we know how Damon is lol) Grace could work towards being *the group’s* loose canon rather than *a* loose canon. Assuming the ‘unclean’ passage is relevant, a character arc for Grace would represent her moving away from being ‘unclean’ (behaviour like how she treats Eloise) to ‘clean’ (closer to the gentler bullying she used with Wolfgang), and growing as a person.

Frankly I’m unsure what direction Grace’s character is currently going in. Before and during most of Chapter 1 she was definitely Wolfgang’s muscle, and even after he died she was still demonstrating aggressive behaviour. It would have been a logical assumption to say the group (or whoever the next leader will be) needs to secure her loyalty now that Wolfgang is gone, but after Eva’s execution Grace went silent, and couldn’t even look at anyone. She bounced back quicker after being shot by Mara than the aftermath of the 1st trial- whether or not Grace will be herself for chapter 2, I’m not sure. It seems like either Grace will “go back to normal”, or she’s tired. It seemed like she was barely holding on through that trial and now that Wolfgang is avenged, she has to recognize that he’s gone and there’s nothing more she can do. The second route, I think seems more plausible, and it also seems like something that better aligns with this theory- someone can offer her something new to fight for. I find Grace a really interesting character and I hope she sticks around for a long time.
