Building Momentum

“I feel like I’ve known you forever. I felt like I knew you the first time we met. Have I met you before?” Some things never change, and some things keep circling back around. (In which David and Spot are immortal, and Jack and Race are... something else.)

It's @newsiesminibang24 day!!!! Welcome to the long awaited Building Momentum!!!

I am SO excited about this fic and I really hope it was worth the wait!!

Featuring this gorgeous art by @chimeofthecomet my amazingly talented minibang partner!!!! I'm going to go stare at it for a while because i'm in love <3

4, 7, 9, 12 for the ask game <3 (all glee if possible)

Yay, thanks for these Crys! 7 was previously answered so I went ahead and skipped it :)

4. say something nice about a ship you don't ship (it can be another ship in your fandom, a mutual's OTP, etc)

I don’t ship St. Berry, but I am of the opinion that if it couldn’t be Finn, I’m glad it was Jesse. He and Rachel really are two sides of the same coin and they seem to love each other very deeply and I hope they’re happy together!

9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy

Samcedes 😭 they are my emotional support heterosexuals your honor. But also, they are two genuinely good people who care deeply about one another samcedes you will always be endgame to me

12. compliment someone else in your fandom

Okay this is gonna be a lot because I AM going to do all the active fandoms I’m in! So under the read more!

Glee:

First of all you, Crys! And @backslashdelta You are both so talented with your gif making that it kind of drives me insane.

@kurtsascot is probably one of the most talented writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I feel so lucky that we’ve gotten her so late in the game! I feel similarly about @rockitmans and @thelegendofjenna

@esilher @twinkkurt and @justgleekout make the most BEAUTIFUL fanart I’ve ever seen, and I also wanna thank @carsonphillips for klainegifs and keeping the fandom interesting with their events!

@somefeministtheatrepls is not only an amazing friend but the most thoughtful beta reader and honestly partner in my writing?? Writing is much less stressful because I don’t even worry about things being clunky or weird because I know her ass will help that chapter SHINE

@nancysgillians @kurthummeldeservesbetter also get shoutouts because they are wonderful people to have in your life

Newsies:

I could fill novels with how much I love and appreciate @somanywords! Their amazing storytelling and also volunteering to make art for the MiniBang I hosted earlier this year??? On top of listening to my insane ramblings?? They don’t make em like this anymore folks

@one-paper-bag is also SOOOOOO incredibly talented with their art, and their lovely comments on my Spider-Man AU keep me going (on GOD we are gonna get you another chapter ON GOD!!!!)

@livesincerely and @agentsnickers are some of the most prolific and INSANELY TALENTED writers I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading, and also genuinely lovely people! You know when you see someone on your dash and ur just like “wow. I hope they are having a FANTASTIC day and life. They deserve one.”

@piedoesnotequalpi and @regina-cordium are also so incredibly FUNNY and have the most correct takes on every single newsie and that’s on that ❤️

911:

I’m relatively new to this fandom, so I don’t know a ton of people yet, but there are def people I see on my dash that I have noticed!

@cranberrymoons @lesbianrobin @insertlovelyperson have written some of my absolute FAAAAAAVE fics! I feel like they really have a handle on who the characters are in a way that’s true to the show and kind of difficult to pull off!

@texasbama makes amazing gifs and honestly anytime I see her on my dash I laugh bc genuinely she’s so funny. Also on the list of hilarious contributors is @buckgettingstruck

And a couple of people who I think have genuinely great vibes are @buckera @leathercouchcushion and @yaz-the-spaz

And of course I can’t talk about 911 without a second mention to @regina-cordium who puts up with all my Texas!Buddie nonsense andbansndbsk

-

Okay yeah so that was a LOT sorry!! I didn’t mean for it to get so long BUT I do mean every single word! I’m really blessed to have met so many amazing people through fandom and my experience on this site has been nothing less than superb because of yall ❤️

Bam. Minibang Fic.

I joined the Newsies Minibang 2024 and promptly waited until right before my posting day to actually write anything. Here's the first chapter, yaaaaaaay. @chimeofthecomet has art but is sleeping (good) so I'll add that link as soon as they are up! @newsiesminibang24

If you like theatre, newsies, girlsies and the UK cast, and gay people then this fic is probably for you. If you don't, read it anyway. I'd love to hear what you think!

[loving-jack-kelly]

so excited for the newsies minibang. currently have no idea which idea I will focus on but I'm choosing not to let that dampen my excitement :)

The Show Must Go On

by, max_chaos by max_chaos It was a beautiful fucking day outside, sunny and green with a slight breeze and all that jazz, and that honestly just made everything worse. It was always nice to have a reminder that the entire universe was conspiring against you, though, Spot guessed. That had to be what it was, because otherwise they wouldn’t have been stationed outside their school’s sorry excuse for an auditorium (not even a real theatre, an auditorium they had to share with the music department) and contemplating dropping out. - Spot Conlon is all about technical theatre and ready to go all in for college to work in it professionally. Then everything falls apart. They find themselves at a loss until their sister recommends them for a position with a small community theatre company in their hometown. Will this just be another wasted opportunity or a chance for something better? (Featuring nonbinary Spot, Hotshot being a fantastic little sister, a lot of designs based on the UK cast, and girlsies my beloved) Words: 2282, Chapters: 1/?, Language: English Fandoms: Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken, Newsies - All Media Types, Newsies (1992) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: Multi Characters: Spot Conlon, Hotshot - Character Relationships: Spot Conlon & Hotshot Additional Tags: Musical References, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Self-Discovery, Hurt/Comfort, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, musical theatre, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Gay Newsies, Soft Spot Conlon, Not Beta Read, i procrastinated too hard, call me out for spelling errors, Newsies Minibang 2024 read : https://ift.tt/5bGm0og - May 01, 2024 at 10:41PM

8, 20, and 25 for Artist Asks :D

hello!

8. What do you like most about your own work?

i like my lines the best!! i enjoy doing linework and afterwards it looks crunchy to me :]

20. What works have you drawn fanart of?

So Many Things lol. I’ll draw fanart (even if it’s just doodling) for pretty much anything im into.

here’s a (non-exhaustive) list of recent things (ie. in the past year) ive drawn fanart for:

newsies

starkid + tin can bros

persona 4

detective conan/magic kaitou 1412 (there was a period where conan was my go to doodle subject, and the early style is Super fun to draw in wbwbwb)

ace attorney

mob psycho 100

25. Based on your recent reference searches, what would the FBI assume about you?

oh man uhhh its been a While since i searched for any references (I haven’t done anything more than a simple sketch or doodle since April lol). Probably that I am really into Star Trek (which isn’t untrue) (last references searches that I remember were for the inside and outside of a type 6 shuttlecraft for my minibang art)

thank you for the ask :D artist asks

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa I’m still debating over whether to sign up for the newsies minibang :( I ended up scrambling to finish my exchange fic bc I have no time management skills and that was like 13200 words less than the minimum for the minibang

[newsiesminibang24]

Here it is folks! For those of us who benefit from a visual aid, the calendar for the 2024 Newsies MiniBang!

Biggest thanks ever to @somanywords for the amazing amazing AMAZING doodles I got to include! <3
