This fic is in need of a pinchhitter. If you're interested in creating art for this fic, please dm us/send an ask or contact one of the mods on discord :D

36

Expected Rating: Teen

Warnings: Trans Pregnancy, MPreg, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Feels Galore, Emotional Insecurities, Parental Issues, Slow Burn Romance, Friends to Lovers, Kissing & Making Out, Food & Beverages, Drinking & Alcohol, Play Fighting/Food Fighting, Swearing, Remus being Remus (even as a child), Potty Humor, Sexual Innuendos

Romantic Relationships: Remy Sanders x Dr. Emile Picani x Janus Sanders

Summary: "This is my family. I found it all on my own. It's a little broken, but still good. Yeah, still good." -- Stitch, Lilo & Stitch

Emile Picani has his full with friends-turned-brothers Logan and Patton.

Remy Onassis has their hands full with twins Roman & Remus.

And Janus Albrecht will eventually have her hands full with a baby on the way.

However, either by fate or the strong unifying love of parenthood, they all find a way to erase any and all bad histories that lead them to their respective situations; panting over sadness and loneliness with love and affection.

None of them realize it yet, but the best life awaits them will await them very soon.

Since this idea is being tossed around a lot in discord, and there hasn't been one in a LONG LONG TIME, I'm putting out feelers to see who might be interested in participating in a Zukka Reverse Bang. Also since so many of us have had a BLAST in the current Big Bang. 🥰 This will NOT be happening soon, we would likely open a server around the middle of December/beginning of January, and have our ideas pitched for Feb 1st, and form groups after that.

[olderthannetfic]

Several fandoms are running "gatcha for gaza" charity events, wherein artists and writers sign up, and then people donate x amount of money to submit a prompt that will be done by them. $5 for a sfw sketch/drabble $10 for nsfw, or that ballpark. I donated a bit, under the knowledge that it was a gamble and I may never see anything of it, but hey it's for a good cause, and the donations went straight to charity, no middle man.

But now I'm watching in slight concern. Like, I'd assume anyone donating is in a similar spirit and knows they may never see a fanwork, but. Of the two I'm following, one has only 10 of ~200 prompts filled with a fast approaching "deadline", and the other has 90 something unclaimed prompts (no artists or writers want to do them) (mostly art, sounds like they're good on a writer front) and is calling for pinchhitters for those.

And like, it's a good thing they're trying to do, and nitpicking the organization of those in charge isn't helpful. Been given the quantity of fandoms I've seen hopping on this train and making these things, I am worried. I'd hope people stay in the spirit and don't backlash because their five bucks didn't get them the doodle they were promised/fully rendered art/fic or unreasonable expectations. But I've seen fandom stuff implode over less.

ToT I know I said I was hoping to finish Renji 11 this week, but I ended up not having much writing time. Of the 3.5 scenes remaining, I did not finish any scenes at all--not even the 0.5, because that 0.5 scene is exactly as difficult as I thought it was going to be.

Kensei wants something from Renji, but wants it without having to explain to Renji why he wants it, what it is, or why he wants it from Renji, specifically. Which is a tall order, exacerbated by the fact that Renji does not actually care about any of this, so has absolutely zero skin in the game re: the great Muguruma Mystery. He's narrating POV, but he has no incentive to investigate/try to pry any of this information out of Kensei!

I��ve managed to get Renji to realize that Kensei EXPECTS him to care about something, but his reaction was just “lol I don’t tho??” so I dunno that that’s the in I was hoping for, especially since I still don’t think the scene/realization actually makes much sense to begin with.

I think maybe my way out of this is finding a way to convey that Kensei doesn't know who Renji is, so is just throwing out ways of interacting with him based on various typecasts of Renji until he finds something that gets him what he wants. And Renji, at some point, Yes Ands him because it is easier than being responsible, which he's had to be altogether too much of recently.

Because god hates me, I got to have a Round 2 with gift fanworks this week, too. We had a participant who missed the deadline and wasn’t great at communication. And yes, we should have just stopped it then and gotten a pinchhitter set up right off, a month ago. But they had extenuating personal circumstances and promised they were almost done, they were gonna finish! So we kept trusting them up until we needed a pinchhit within 24 hours. 🙃

Which had to be me, because despite having a lot of pinchhit volunteers, 24 hours is a rude amount of time to ask for as a turnaround—but more importantly, our pinchhitters were either all writers or in the process of selling their parents’ house, and the prompter asked for art. (Another rules adjustment for next year is going to be requiring at least one fanfic prompt! Because the writer:artist ratio in that fandom is veryyyy writing-skewed!) So I was like, great, great, I guess it is already time to make another gift for someone, but this time in a medium I do not identify with! Even greater opportunity to make something the giftee really loves, as they always do!!!

I enjoyed the creative process (which involved modgepodge and acrylics and tearing up paper and actual halftone—so many textures!) and my take on the prompt. At the same time, I know for sure it’s not the style the giftee really wanted. Which, like, yeah, you can’t and shouldn’t expect to choose someone’s art style, unless you’re paying to commission a specific artist! But also I happen to already know that this specific person is kind of…. hahahaha, yeah. So I’ve really set myself up for success and feelgood here.

MY HEAD, IT IS IN MY HANDS

This is my fanfic for the TSS Storytime Big Bang event. Chapters will be posted on Tumblr slowly throughout the day.

Feel free to read this story on Tumblr or ao3!

Rating: T (Teens and Up)

Pairings: gen, background qpp Logince

Summary: Orange accompanies Thomas and the Sides through a story of healing, getting listened to, a reveal of who Orange really is, and how Hope can look when the metaphorical plane is crashing down. As the story continues, strange and unfamiliar feelings arise between the creative and the logical. Brothers and old family reconnect, Sides get recognized for all of their contributions, and some adjust to the shades of grey mindset as a certain someone no longer has to watch from the shadows. Thomas learns what Hope and healing means, all with some help from a citrus-enthusiast as his Sides find Hope and truce within each other.
