SC Rare Fest is returning!

Looking for stories about the Rose family and their friendships with all our favorite Schitt’s Creek characters? Interested in exploring the relationships between our favorite townies? Want to explore how Ronnie got to Schitt’s Creek, what Patrick and Derek talked about during rehearsals, or who bought a tarot card reading from Twyla? What about all the potential throuples and moreples in this universe, or the rare ships that could’ve happened with a canon divergence? Or some post-canon happily-ever-afters, both romantic and platonic? SC Rare Fest is for you!

We are super excited to share that SC Rare Fest is returning for another round of fun!

Quick Details

Works featuring rare ships of all sorts are welcome

Works featuring gen stories of all sorts are welcome

Works based on rare/gen stories of all sorts are welcome, including podfic, art, filk, and everything else!

There WILL be catch-all prompts!

We ask that your work not be centered around the David/Patrick relationship. While it can be in the work as a background element—of course David or Patrick may talk to a friend or family member about their relationship!—we ask that your work be centered around their relationships with others. For example, what do Patrick and Stevie enjoy doing that David hates? What does a shopping spree between David and Alexis look like? Do Johnny and Patrick ever watch another baseball game together? If you have any questions about the intentions of this fest as it pertains to David/Patrick, we are happy to share more of our thoughts!

Important Dates

Prompting is open January 30-February 13

Works are due April 9

Posting will take place from April 10-14

Creators are revealed April 17

Our ask box is open if you have any questions. Help us spread the word!

2020 CREATOR WRAP

rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (or so) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

Thank you to @alamborghini and @wild-aloof-rebel for tagging me to do this, and apologies in advance that this is going to be kinda long!

In this year of despair, distance, and staying at home, I tried to push myself creatively and experiment with digital art, illustrations, learned to make gifs the proper way, edit videos, tried podficcing, tried new techniques, and built on my software skills.

Here are some of the works and collaborations that showcase that, under the cut:

1. Something You Keep

Written and recorded for Pod_Together 2020, this was one of the best group projects I’ve ever worked on, and I could not have asked for a better and more collaborative team to do this with, who endlessly listened to me and my mad rambles and supported me tirelessly! I absolutely adore this Ted/Alexis story written by @doublel27 and enjoyed brainstorming on this so, so much.

Not only did I serve as the artist on this project, but this was also my first foray into podficcing and I learned so much from @sunlightsymphony, @amanitaceaeveil, and @ships-to-sail. Their voicework, soundscaping and editing is phenomenal on this, and I am just in awe of them! This was also my friend Elswhrefumbling’s first podfic and I’m thrilled that we were in this together.

I created multiple different sorts of artwork for this, including multimedia posts, and came up with an art installation concept. Below is the movie poster style cover art that I made for this fic/podfic, that also comes with an extra back cover with the entire "cast" list.

2. SC Sports Fest I created all of the graphics for this fest, including all of the ‘collectible sports cards’ that we posted as promotional graphics on Tumblr. They can all be found on the @scsportsfest page. I really enjoyed this challenge so much (incorporating all kinds of competitive games and sports, and having a broad variety of Schitt’s Creek Characters. I’m (mostly) pleased with how they turned out. This one, is probably my favourite of the lot.

3. [Filk]Oh, There Could Be No Other

My biggest undertaking perhaps, has been creating this Filk. I wrote, performed, illustrated, and animated this. And of all of those things, the writing was the biggest challenge and took ridiculously longer than I could’ve imagined (This is why I don’t write, haha). I have no idea why I chose to do this, but, I had the idea, I had pieces of the process of how it would all come together, and I’m very pleased that it’s almost exactly how I’d envisioned it.

Here’s a kind of non-spoilery screenshot from the filk, if you haven’t had a chance to see/listen to it yet.

4. I am stupidly happy with my take on the Cabaret poster that I created for @januarium, for the criminally underrated fic Home At Last

5. I went back to my childhood roots, to create the hand-drawn illustrations with colour pencils for the gorgeous fic Must Have Been Some Magic, written by for @sunlightsymphony. It was so fun to make these panels that were inspired by the original artwork from the book and movie, The Snowman, that can be found here. The front cover is my favourite panel of them all.

An honourable mention to my first ever gifset, that I’d made for the SC gif Advent (which I was unable to participate in because of other real life things that came up. But I hope that I am able to make more gifs in the coming year. I’m so grateful for all the wonderful opportunities I’ve had this year to collaborate with amazing creators, and friends. Thank you for making this year survivable!

—

I’m going to pay it forward by tagging a few folks, I’m unsure who’s done this already, but here goes: @high-seas-swan, @doublel27, @sunlightsymphony, @landofsonlali, @anniemurphys, @earnmysong, @januarium, @petrodobreva, @lisamc-21, @danieljradcliffe, @roguebebe, and whoever else wants to do this!!

[farm-witches-fic-recs]

Friends! It’s Friday again and the Farm Witches are back! We were very pleased to be able to offer you some bonus recs this week in addition to our Friday Fic Recs.  We love getting asks, so please feel free to drop us a comment or question!

As always, we hope you enjoy our selections for today and be sure to leave the creators some love!

#NewProfilePic (@missgeevious) *RPF* “Ever wondered why Dan’s had the same Twitter profile pic forever? And what it would take to get him to change it? Of course you have.” 

The Demon Barber of Schitt's Creek (@Tailor1971) “A clever first-kiss college AU where Patrick Brewer has just been cast as Sweeney Todd and looks to David Rose for some guidance on getting in touch with his dark side.” 

Oh, There Could Be No Other (@RhetoricalQuestions) *FILK* “A beautiful song that captures Patrick’s journey, set to music from Joni Mitchell’s song ‘River’”.

Pieces of Me (@delilah-mcmuffin) “David gives Patrick a special gift from his past after the failed spray tan incident.  Patrick enthusiastically approves, and very sexy times happen.”

steel and oak (@helvetica_upstart) “This one is a fun, sexy roleplay based around David’s methods for picking up randoms.”

A Whole Lot to Gain  (@yourbuttervoicedbeau) “This gorgeous nonbinary Alexis fic is chock full of beautiful language and tender queer feelings.“

----------

FROM FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS

The farm witches love spending time around the cauldron, but sometimes we like to borrow recipes from our neighbors in town, too. We can’t help it, we crave Jocelyn’s Dorito Casserole every now and then as well. Recipe after the cut!

You’ll need: 

1 pound lean ground beef

½ yellow onion diced

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 packet taco seasoning

12 ounce bag frozen corn

14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes with green chilies (not drained)

1 cup sour cream

2 cups finely crushed Doritos

1 cup loosely crushed Doritos

3 cups Mexican blend cheese

1 cup black beans

Sliced green onions diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, avocado, sour cream for garnish (optional)*

(* Some of us are picky witches and will leave out the ingredients we don’t like and we support you doing the same!)

To make this delish dish:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Spray 9×13 dish with nonstick spray.

Gently crush the chips, set aside. Two cups should be crushed fine, more like bread crumbs and one cup should be larger chunks, to be spread on top at the end. (You can put them in a Ziploc gallon bag and crush with your hands.)

In a large skillet cook the ground beef and onions. Drain.

Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Add the frozen corn, taco seasoning, tomatoes with chiles, black beans, and two cups of finely crushed chips. 

Remove from heat. Stir in the sour cream and two cups of cheese.

Pour into greased casserole dish and place in oven. Bake 5-10 minutes, until warmed through.

Add one cup of cheese on top, then one cup of loosely crushed Doritos and bake another five minutes until cheese is melted.

Remove from oven and serve warm!

DAY 7 REVEALS

someday you'll carry me up a mountain, too

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose - E - 18,463]

David Rose. Gorgeous, interesting David Rose is flirting. With him. In the past, flirting had been enjoyable, a nice way to get to know someone new. This is different. It’s exciting. And fun. And makes his stomach swoop and his knees weak. For the first time in his life he finally understands the appeal.

Or...

Patrick Brewer, newly single and fresh off a break up, has himself a vacation fling, that leaves him wanting more (HEA, of course!).

*

Outside Edge

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Stevie Budd & David Rose, Patrick Brewer & Stevie Budd, Sebastien Raine/David Rose - M - 12,114]

Patrick's barely-there-brows pull together. “Hey, I’m doing you a favor here—”

And that's it; that's what completely sends David over the edge.

“—I'm sorry, doing me a favor?” David cuts him off before that gets any further. His voice is doing that shrill thing he's apparently well-known for, but he can replay the memory and hate himself for it later. Right now, he's pissed. “How about you do me a favor and take your little hockey bat and sh—”

“O-ookay!” Stevie half-yells, literally stomping her way between them. Her angry expression turns to David first: “David, he is your only shot at competing this year. Literally your only option.” She turns that look in the other direction: “Patrick, this is your only shot at competing again at all. Literally no one else on this planet is desperate enough to teach an NHL retiree how to dance on ice.” She folds her arms over her chest. “So, either suck it up now or quit.”

*

Kinship

[T - 7,303]

Stevie grabs the photos and the papers and the heartbreak, stuffs it all into the box, and pushes it into the back of her closet.

Family is complicated. Taking a DNA test doesn't change that.

*

Practice Makes

[Theodore "Ted" Mullens/Alexis Rose - G - 2,605]

This, Ted decided, was his favourite part of Christmas. Not the presents, which were just okay, and not the time off from school, which he didn’t really like that much, but this – making cookies with his mother.

--

Ted, his cookies, and five Christmases through the years.

*

[Podfic + filk + fic] measure by measure

[Stevie Budd/Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands, Stevie Budd/Alexis Rose, Stevie Budd/Twyla Sands, Alexis Rose/Twyla Sands - T - 2,296]

Black Sheep's debut album, At My Fingertips, is up for Album of the Year and Rock Album of the Year at the Grammys. But anyone who knows of Twyla Sands (lead vocals and guitar), Stevie Budd (bass guitar), and Alexis Rose (drums) can't help but fixate on the question everyone's asking: are the three of them more than just band mates?

Ruth Clancy, lead reporter for Rolling Stone, is here to find out.

(This fic contains podfic and music composed and performed specifically for the podfic!)

*

Rainbow Rose

[Patrick Brewer/David Rose, Stevie Budd/Ruth Clancy - G - 2,190]

David had expected lots of things to come from Schitt’s Creek, but being one of three prominent queer establishments was never one of them. He actually assumed he would be hate crimed within his first few weeks here. Instead he found the most welcoming community known to man.

----------------------

Don’t forget to keep tabs on the works you check out with our spreadsheet. You’ll earn badges along the way!

NOTE TO CREATORS: If your work is part of today’s reveals, please update the posting date of the work to today’s date so it shows up fresh in the AO3 feed.

SC Passions and Pastimes FAQs

FEST DATES

All times in EDT

May 31 at 9am: Prompting opens

June 7 at 9am: Prompting closes and fest opens for claims. You can begin submitting your work at this point too. Claims will be left open until the deadline to submit works. August 1 at 11:59pm: Works due August 4 at 9am: First day of posting works. It will go 7-10 days depending on how many works are submitted. This decision will be made after the window to submit works ends, and will be announced on the first day of posting. August 16 at 9am: Creators revealed

ABOUT THE FEST

What kinds of works fit into this fest?

This prompt-based fest is to celebrate all of the interesting, weird, wacky, boring, and wonderful hobbies and passions of Schitt's Creek characters. Any hobbiese/interests work! We wanted to create a fest where creators could explore what characters might do in their free time.

To kick off your brainstorming, we've classified the hobbies/interests in a few subjects (and will be providing opportunities for you to earn badges in these areas): arts & crafts, performing arts, food & drink, sports & recreation, community & collecting, and other hobbies.

What is a prompt-based fest? For a week, you can submit a prompt or idea for anyone to grab. After that week is up, any participant can claim as many prompts as they want. Those prompts are basically a springboard for a creator to use to develop their work. If there's something you'd love to see created in this fandom, you are encouraged to submit a prompt.

Keep in mind, some prompts won't get claimed and some prompts might get claimed by multiple people. And some prompts might get claimed initially, but get dropped later if the creator can't finish their work.

Are creators anonymous? Yup! When we initially release the works each day, the creators will be anonymous. We plan to release works over 7-10 days (depending on how many are submitted), then we will reveal the creators a couple of days later—giving people some time to catch up first. The fun of having creators anonymous at first is you can try to guess who created what. It also gives all of the works more of an even footing for hits/kudos/comments.

What are the "subjects" and "badges" you’ve talked about? Are those like AO3 categories? Nope! The subjects are like badge groupings (think of the Boy Scouts merit badges). We'll be awarding badges for arts & crafts, food & drink, performing arts, community & collecting, sports & recreation, and other. They are something the mods will use for scheduling, and we’ll also have fun badges you can earn.

What kinds of works can be submitted? Anything that AO3 supports! Writing, art, audio, images, a combination of things. We can't wait for you to share your creativity.

THE LOGISTICS

If I want to create something for the fest, what do I have to do? Look through the prompts submitted to the fest and claim any that interest you. Once your work(s) is complete, you'll need to "fulfill" the claim and submit your work. We have information below on how to do that. AO3 will know your work is connected to the fest, so the fest mods will be able to unveil it and reveal the other when the time comes - you don't need to worry about that. All you need to do is create and post your work, and the mods will handle the logistics from there.

Do I have to be a creator to submit a prompt? Nope! Creators and non-creators are encouraged to submit prompts.

How do I submit a prompt? AO3 explains it here.

What is a prompt? It’s an idea or start of an idea. It can be super vague or more specific, but keep in mind the creator can take the prompt in the direction they choose. Some examples of prompts:

David signs up for an archery class to help his anxiety, and Patrick is the instructor. Maybe enemies-to-lovers?

Stevie secretly plays the flute.

The SC community comes together to create an ultimate frisbee league.

Alexis and Twyla meet and fall for each other during some sort of supper club. Your choice what the supper club looks like. Lots of fluff, please!

Johnny decides to mentor the business club at the high school.

David and Patrick have been married for a few years, and David decides he wants to learn the guitar. Maybe he keeps it secret from Patrick because he wants it to be a surprise and it’s fluffy. Or a more angsty story of David wanting to have it be his own thing without Patrick wanting to teach him. Happily ever after, please!

How do I claim a prompt? Check this AO3 resource. Who can claim a prompt? Anyone with an AO3 account!

Can I claim my own prompt? Absolutely! We know you might have an idea for the fest and submitting your own prompt to claim is a great way to make that happen. We'll also have a sort of "freebie/catch-all" prompt that's vague and you can claim it to submit a work that doesn't fit any of the other prompts (but still fits within the theme of the fest).

Can multiple people claim the same prompt? Yes! Don't worry, that's not a bad thing. People will often take a similar prompt in wildly different directions. More cake, you know? If you are a creator and see that someone already claimed a prompt you're interested in, please don't let that stop you from also claiming it.

What if I have an idea that hasn't been prompted? You have two options. One, you could submit your own prompt and claim it. If you're not comfortable doing that or don't want others to have the opportunity to claim your prompt, we'll have three "catch-all" prompts for you. One is for fic, one for fanart and one for podfic/filk. You can claim the corresponding catch-all prompt corresponding to the type of work you'll be creating. What if I change my mind about a prompt I've claimed and I want to drop it? You can drop your claim at any time. Here's information about how to do that.

What if I want to claim more prompts later? Prompts can be claimed up until the deadline to submit works. To claim more, click "prompts" on the left sidebar, and, well, follow the prompts/buttons to claim. How do I submit my work? AO3 has info on this too.

CONCERNS AND OTHER TOPICS

What if I submitted a prompt and the works submitted for it don't fulfill the prompt? That's part of participating in a fest like this. Prompts are brief suggestions with minimal details and the creators will take it wherever inspiration strikes. Sometimes that means it might be exactly what you hoped for, and sometimes that means it's not quite what you wanted. And that's okay. We hope you'll find something else you love among the works!

What do I do if I have a concern about the content in one of the works? If the creator failed to use an AO3 setting to indicate something significant (e.g., there's a major character death but the creator did not check that box to warn visitors), please contact a mod or the fest's Tumblr account and we'll try to contact the creator.

If you're concerned about representation or lack of content warnings outside of the AO3 core settings, we encourage you to share your concerns in the work comments or contact the creator privately once they are revealed. Ultimately, it is up to the creator to decide if they would like to make changes.

I have a question not covered here. What should I do? Send us a message here or email us at scpassionsandpastimes@gmail.com.

[sunlightsymphony]

A truly overwhelming amount of writing, podficcing, baking, singing, artistic, and video-editing talent was showcased in this fest!!! The amazing (and flexible) mods made participating a fantastic experience. But the best part of all was collaborating with my lovely friend @rhetoricalk - please check out her stunning artwork featured in my story! 😍
