Listed fandom fun

A bit of random data before we jump into the rankings for listed fandoms …

Since the numbers post yesterday we've had signups for nearly 60 new auctions, bringing the current total to 779. That beats the number of signups for 2016/7, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, and puts us withing spitting distance of our record last year of 819. Can we do it? Will we do it? Signal boost FTH posts and encourage others to participate. More money raised for good causes, more fanworks in the world — it's a win/win!

We posted yesterday about the state of our unlisted write-in fandoms (we've had nine new ones since then!). Time to check in with the rankings for the listed fandoms.

At the top of the pack we have:

87 K-Pop * 66 Good Omens 50 Sherlock Holmes * 44 Harry Potter * 37 Marvel * 32 DC * 31 Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed 27 Red, White, & Royal Blue 25 Star Wars * 23 Scum Villain's Self-Saving System

Our first tie is for 11th place -

22 Avatar The Last Airbender 22 Teen Wolf

And after that, nearly every other place is a tie. And which ones are ties for which places can be shifted slightly with just one signup. Or completely upended with two. Where will your fandom land?

Remember that if your fandom isn't here (or in the rest of the list below the cut), you can write it in. Signups are OPEN through Monday!

Bound: A Fair Return by thingswithwings

I wanted to bind a fic for a friend, and I decided on this iconic Schitt's Creek fic that was the first podfic they recorded. It is also my longest bind so far, and maybe as long as I'd put in one volume? I don't think it's too unwieldy, though.

Everything was going smoothly - almost too smoothly - when I got impatient and ironed on the vinyl before the glue was completely dry. I suspect that's why the original cover (in "Patrick Brewer button up shirt blue", thank you very much) got all splotchy. Or maybe the fabric was too thin. I dunno.

So I decided to remake the cover in "Patrick Brewer's tight jeans denim" instead. And I think it all worked out for the best. I adore how it looks.

And the holographic HTV? I love how it changes color depending on the light and it behaved quite nicely for me. (Again, patience is key with HTV.)

Gold? Blue? Copper? Depends on the light!

The text block didn't give me nearly as many problems. It all went together smoothly, whew! And my new sewing frame did help when it came to stitching this behemoth together.

Fonts used: Body: Vendetta OT Chapter headings: Didot LT Pro (IYKYK) Title: Gazzetta

Final details... (endpapers came from the Craft Consortium Ink Drops-Ocean pad.)

Incidentally, this is the third gift bind I've made, but due to various factors, sometimes involving the USPS and keeping a package in Miami for TWO WEEKS, this is the first one to make it to its recipient. I am so excited to share the other two!

the 4 horsemen of adulthood

on monday, i consumed a sainsbury’s meal deal and two cream and jam scones and forgot to drink any water until 10pm. or i didn’t so much forget as think, ‘i’m thirsty’ and then just not do tanything about it—i literally don’t know why. i explained it to three separate people today and they were all like, ‘yep, makes sense.’ ??? does it???

it’s been a long time since my self-neglect hit critical mass like that; i went to bed queasy and woke up with a headache and a bunch of my clothes from yesterday heaped in a corner because i’m nearly 30 and i can’t just not drink water for an entire day anymore without feeling it. i have to identify as nearly 30 so that when i turn 30 in six months i’m not hit with whiplash.

i remember being 15 and staying up til 3am talking to my tumblr friends in america. i remember chugging four shots one after the other and then having the time of my life as fast as possible. i remember not stretching, not wearing spf, not being worried about needing a coat. no longer! ageing is just coming to terms with the fact that you do, in fact, have needs, one essential after the next. sleep, sunlight, movement, water: the four horsemen of being an adult, shortening telomeres and all.

someone reading this might think, ‘hmm, sounds like you’re depressed.’ maybe! this year i’ve been in and out of depressive phases, of varying lengths of time—a few days to a week, usually, but sometimes a bit longer. i think part of this is that i never seem to be able to come to terms with who i am. i’m permanently in a mix of white knuckling my own life and holding it together for fear that i might explode.

this year i bought an apartment. i quit a job that was my dream, because having autonomy and not being controlled and condescended to at work mattered more to me than being purpose-driven in the end. i founded a choir, recorded an album, became a trustee, was featured in an exhibition, and went on a bunch of trips. i pulled the rug out from under myself over and over again just to feel like i was alive.

i often feel i am watching myself as a marionette, and big me is poking and prodding little puppet me with a stick, chanting, ‘change! change! change!’ just to see what happens. because i don’t know what happens. now she moves house! now she quits her job! now she starts using different pronouns! now they’ve signed up for a year long pottery class! what will they do next?! who will they become? who are they becoming right now?

a lot of things are scary and i do them anyway because i believe in jumping out of my comfort zone (me, prodding the puppet self with a cattle prod: ‘change! change! change!’). things like showing up, putting myself out there, holding space, reaching out, sending an email, public speaking—they’re the choices i make to have control over my world and my selfhood, even if they do make it feel scarier. it’s not always so deliberate—usually it’s ending something that’s no good for you anymore, which is sad, and feels forced, but choice is change as a process, not as a one off.

and if that weren’t enough, everything is so fast and so slow at the same time! the days are long, the years are short. the days are long. i don’t have much in the way of routine, which theoretically means that i probably experience less time dilation than average. i would be lying if i said the presence of a nine to five actually made me feel better, because i remember being in it, and it didn’t, but it stopped me from feeling like i am metamorphosing at light speed.

that’s the journey, and embracing it (or if not, at least holding on). from the outside, it’s sitting on the couch, going to a museum, eating a pastry for breakfast not because i can but because i can’t think of an alternative, doing admin, catching a friend for a walk, going to the charity shop and leaving empty handed, picking up a prescription, watching 3 minutes of schitt’s creek at a time, bleaching every orifice in your home to stave off fruit flies. from the inside? it’s the wildest ride. let us take a step back, look at our puppet selves, and let them breathe for a hot minute, because change is gonna come, ready or not.

My fandom fic events in 2023

One entry for @911ficletsnotnovels (Madney)

Upcoming Events and Projects for 2024

well, what I hope to achieve in 2024 anyway... let's not get too crazy

finish and publish:

praying to god one day you'll be mine - Buddie oneshot(?) 9 y/o Eddie asks his best friend in the world, Evan, on a date with the encouragement of Tia Pepa. After, the Diaz parents shame the hell out of him for it. As an adult Eddie really wants to ask Buck out but has to overcome all of his childhood queer grief to do so. (okay maybe I'm being optimistic about this being a oneshot... god knows I can't shut up when it comes to queer feels and grief)

come close (let me be home) - a Buddie Bridgerton au with Eddie as Viscount Anthony Bridgerton and Buck as Kate Sharma overseeing Maddie finding a new husband.

you're where i wanna go - Buddie historical au that is set mostly in the 1900's with some travels back to 1899, and forward to 1969. Buck and (single, childless, never been married) Eddie meet in 1899 when Buck is traveling after Maddie leaves. They are later separated and Buck marries Lucy (for reasons that have nothing to do with love and everything to do with queerplatonic goodness). Years later Eddie returns with Christopher...

with my heart in my lap - Twylexis historical au. Alexis and Twyla get together in August 1939, just before Canada enters WWII. Alexis leaves for college but returns almost immediately because teachers, students, etc have left the school to join the war. When she comes home Twyla isn't there. Alexis goes traveling around and ultimately lands in New York. While browsing a junk shop she comes across a necklace she gave to Twyla when they got together and begins a search to find her lost love.

And if I’m super lucky/ambitious

the darkest fairytale - Buddie magic au with witch!Eddie and cat familiar!Buck

run to the water (and find me there) - Buddie au. Kid Eddie is saved by merperson!Buck after a wave knocks him under the water. They reconnect when Eddie moves to LA as an adult.

[kiwiana-writes]

Ooooh please can I ask you about the rockstar!Alex WIP? I cannot explain how INVESTED in that AU, I gobbled up all the snippets of it that you've posted 👀

ABSOLUTELY you can, because I’m also invested in that one 😅

So this fic started out as a tumblr game. The basic idea was “send me an idea for a fake AU and I’ll give you five facts about that AU.” And @tintagel-or-cockleshells sent me “An AU in which Henry and Alex are exes, also Alex is a rockstar who puts a lot of himself into his songwriting. And there’s a happy ending.”

And… here’s the thing. Up to this point, I’d never had a conversation with tintagel one on one. I’d commented on some of her stuff, she’d commented on some of mine, we’d reblog each others WIP snippets on tumblr. We didn’t know each other outside of that. But EVERY DAMN TIME I did games like this, she would ALWAYS come in with something that made me REALLY wanna game fail and actually write whatever it was. She was just impressively tapped in to the sorts of things that make my brain go brrrrrr 😂

The other thing about tintagel is that she’s on, effectively, an opposite timezone to me. So by the time I answered the ask, she was already in bed. I also hit post on the answer and then immediately went into an hour-long meeting…

And came out of said meeting to like 40 notifications and a DEEP sense of confusion until I actually opened them. It popped off, and I absolutely succumbed to the peer pressure. Which meant that by the time tintagel was back online in her morning, this fic had run the full gamut from “this is a fake AU” to “this has a google doc and oh my god I think I’m writing original songs send help”.

At first I thought it would be MOSTLY epistolary, because I was really attached to #3, and then I had a brainwave about how I could make that epistolary, so… now it’s fully epistolary. I’m gonna have to create MULTIPLE new skins for this sucker. As well as like… recording original songs, because I have never made a sensible decision in my life.

And if you think I can’t inflict immense emotional damage via epistolary, I have a lot of Schitt’s Creek pals who would be HAPPY to prepare you for the Suffering ™️😂

WHERE WERE ALL THE COMEDY WARRIORS WHEN THE GOOD PLACE WAS LOSING OR NOT EVEN BEING NOMINATED FOR EMMYS EVERY FUCKING SEASON

It lost to Schitt's Creek at least once a show I like but is absolutely not better then the good place in any meaningful way sorry about it

Also why are we mad about this and not Liza being the first Latine actress to win best supporting actress in a comedy????

Who gives a fuck about category fraud the whole ass thing is fucked and this is coming from someone who devotes a lot of energy to the politics of awards season.

For the record I don't agree with it being category fraud, comedy is inherently subjective and they aren't making sitcoms anymore because they haven't figured out a way to make them work on streaming.

HACKS ISNT EVEN A TRADITIONAL SITCOM IT'S SHOT LIKE A DRAMA OR A FILM LIKE GIVE IT A FUCKING REST

I don't know why I woke up and chose violence on this topic but I clearly wasn't done being mad about this

DAY FIVE REVEALS

Nobody Does it Sweater

[David/Patrick, E, 10,519 words]

David isn't all that thrilled with Patrick's idea that they attend Twyla's 'Winter Wonderland' event but he agrees, even if there is no way he is ever going to subject himself to wearing anything remotely resembling the holiday sweater that Patrick has chosen for the evening (supporting a local business is one thing but he has sartorial standards to uphold.) But despite his initial reluctance, as the night goes on, David finds there's more and more to enjoy about the event and he has much more fun than he originally thought...

*❄️*

A Schitty Blizzard Chronicle

[David/Patrick, E, 9,020 words]

It's the first proper Christmas the Roses' are able to gather for since going their own ways, but a record-breaking blizzard hits Schitt's Creek and traps David and Patrick at their store, preventing them from making it home to be with their family.

They find unexpected joy in the storm.

*❄️*

Picture This

[David/Patrick, T, 3,299 words]

Marcy encourages David to help one of Patrick's aunts plan a surprise for his Grandma Brewer.

The more David dives into the project, the more he learns about the Brewer family.

And he does not hate it.

*❄️*

Let's Take a Break

[David & Stevie, T, 2,620 words]

Stevie dips her toes back into holiday celebrations with her chosen (and stumbled-upon) families. Luckily, she and David both know what it's like to need a break from the holiday cheer.

*❄️*

[podfic] Celly

[David/Patrick, M, 1:15:44]

There was one day left until their wedding. Well, it was closer to one night, at this point, and David was counting down the hours. Each time he looked at Patrick, he got more and more excited. In less than 24 hours, Patrick was going to be his husband.

Or, the final part where hockey bfs becomes hockey husbands.

Celly: Slang for “celebration” and refers to the expression of joy after a player scores a goal

⊹₊⟡⋆ laura kariuki + she/her ⊹₊⟡⋆ blasting cleo by shygirl through their airpods is sapphire dixon . oh , you don’t know them ? they’re the twenty - five year old musician who just went viral for allegedly being the reason the girl group she was in split up . yup , the one that drives a 2022 alpine a110 in rose bruyère. i hear they’re pretty imaginative , but others have claimed that they’re quite naive . that makes sense , considering they’re often labeled as the wannabe .

stats.

full name: sapphire faith dixon

nickname(s): sapph and sapphy mostly

gender: cis woman (she/her)

sexuality: bisexual

dob: 16th of october 1998

age: 25 almost 26

zodiac sign: libra

occupation: musician

career claim: i didnt want to lock her in with one specific discogography but for pararelles think normani and leigh-anne. she wants to be beyonce but she's not beyonce (yet)

positive traits: candid, intrepid, captivating and exuberant

negative traits: self-absorbed, impulsive, overly optimistic and ditsy

personality markers: esfp, sanguine, type 7-the enthusiast , chaotic good

counterparts: cher horowitz (clueless), hilary banks (fresh prince of bel-air), london tipton (the suite lufe of zack & cody) & alexis rose (schitt's creek)

aesthetics.

long nights spent in a recording studio, an apologetic sorry shouted  through the window of a bright pink car after reversing into a trash can, the tap of acrylic nails on a phone screen, spending thousands of dollars on one shopping trip, a notebook full of unfinished song lyrics, neon blue cocktails and embarrassing moments spun into engaging stories

bio outline.

as a child sapphire's dad often lovingly referred to her as his good luck charm. he was right she was born lucky. but she wasn't born lucky because he won the super bowl three months after she was born. sapphire dixon was born lucky because she was born to two wealthy and loving parents. most people only have parents who are one of the two.

sapphire's parents moved to new york permanently when she was 12. before then she had three major cross country moves. some children would have been distressed by the lack of stability but sapphire thrived off it. every new move was an exciting new adventure. of course she missed the friends she lost when she moved to a new city but moving was a chance to make new connections. she was the type of kid who found it easy to form friendships. maybe it was because of her famous father but she like to believe it was because she was kind and had a sparkling personality.

no matter where she moved music was always a constant in sapphire's life. she developed a passion for music at a young age. she loved getting the opportunity to express herself artistically and be the centre of attention. her parents fully supported her ambition.

sapphire's mom doesn't have the same name recognition as her dad but as the head of an interior design business specialising in luxury homes she's well connected. it was sapphire's mom who discovered that a record label was looking for members of a new girl band while working for a music exec client in la. when her mom told her about the opportunity eighteen year old sapphire packed a wide array of suitcases and travelled to la as quickly as possible.

the audition process for the band was longer than sapphire expected but she was a perfect fit. she spent seven years in the band touring and making albums. she loved it and she still loves her three former bandmates. they're the closest she has to sisters. but she had enough of being a small part of a larger whole. she felt stifled creatively and like she was often overlooked by the fanbase. nine months ago she quit to work on her solo album. she's still dealing with the media fallout. she understand why ex fans and tabloids are calling her selfish. who else is she supposed to focus on ?

connections.

girl squad who get into chaos together please

a woman the media pits her against. what that did to their relationship can be plotted out. give her a girl so confusing moment

platonic soulmate

childhood friends. could be somebody she spend her teenage years in new york with or somebody she lost touch with

a person who finds her annoying but she's completely oblivious

exes on good terms, exes on bad terms one night stands, a messy situationship ect ect

people she's worked with professionally somehow

neighbours

BACKGROUND & DETAILS:

lucy's mother helen knew from the moment she was six years old that she was different than the rest of her straight laced family. it wasn't that helen wanted to get into trouble, it was more that the things that she wanted to do were by her families definition trouble. helen knew from their looks of disapproval, their head shakes, and heavy sighs that her choices were never going to make sense to her parents. so she did everything in her power to push their boundaries. constantly at conflict and tension helen did everything like come home with tattoos, have her hair dyed an outrageous color, and it wouldn't be long before a fight broke out. so of course it wasn't a surprise to anyone when a very headstrong helen decided to pack a suitcase and bought a plane ticket to london with no intention of looking back. she didn't have a plan but if helen was one thing it was determined and quick on her feet. the only thing she knew was that she was going to follow her favorite rockstar around their tour until he noticed her. it was about six shows in when she finally caught his eye. she was escorted backstage that night and after a jack and coke the nineteen year was hooked. it didn't take long for things to go a little further and the rush she felt from being around famous people and feeling important. a summer and some change was all it took for helen's fun-going not-having-a-plan to take a screeching halt. what she hoped was just the common flu was very clearly exposed to be something much more serious when she saw a pink plus sign looking back at her. lucy was born the following september, her mother swearing she was the most beautiful thing she ever saw. the next ten years of lucy's life were a little chaotic to say the least, make shift diapers, dinners out of boxes, and lost of records playinng. helen not much of a fan of structure did what she felt was the best way of raising her daughter. raising her with a love for records and music, always encouraging her to be exactly who lucy wanted to be, never a raised voice or a time out given. however, by the time lucy was nine it was clear helen was in over her head. deciding to return home with her daughter in tow, helen decided to uproot lucy and bring her to the states. tldr; current day lucy still feels the need to take care of her ever flighty mother. a deep love of classic rock, tiny tattoos, and even been known to dye her hair pink she definitely takes after helen in some ways. however, the have a bit of tension since lucy felt very responsible when her moth was very clearly not. she's very rory coded if rory knew how to have fun. very much like stevie from schitts creek. her love language is teasing and sarcasm. has some attatchment issues since her dad pops in and out of her life and always forgets her bday. has a stray she found that she named stevie.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:

coworkers at either rose hotel or groovy graveyard

roommates, very izze, meredith, george vibes

exes, good terms or bad

hello! <3

this is my main tumblr, it doesn’t really have a theme i just post whatever i like and what speaks to me. i have a few side blogs that are a bit more uniform that i’ve linked below if you’d like to check them out. :) 18 + only please!

i’m kristen. i am an avid daydreamer. a vegetarian. mom to two boys. bookworm. neurodivergent (AuDHD). 29. infp. half native american (mohawk tribe) & irish.

🌜🌞 taurus sun, gemini moon, libra rising 🌞🌛

i live in upstate new york. i read too many books and drink copious amounts of tea & coffee. i’m obsessed with anything antique or from a bygone era. my hair is always messy no matter how hard i try to make it look decent. i am comprised of dresses, flowers, & dreams. i’m forever sleepy. i still love playing on playgrounds. i often feel homesick for places that i’ve never been. my head is always in the clouds; i’m perpetually daydreaming. i feel most at peace in nature. i am a true crime/horror junkie. a self proclaimed weirdo. a proud member of the silly goose club. if i’m not reading, writing, doing a puzzle, playing a video game, or baking, you can probably find me listening to music, overthinking, or being anxious. sometimes if you’re lucky it’s all three. i’d rather be thrifting or looking at the stars.

my favorite sounds: trains in the distance (it’s an incredibly lonely sound but it’s strangly comforting to me in a way), birds singing, rain hitting the window, the keys of a typewriter, book pages turning, cats purring, clocks ticking, the sound of leaves crunching when you step on them in autumn, the crackling sound a record makes when the needle first touches it.

these are a few of my favorite things: flower crowns, old hollywood, gardens, fairies, teacups & teapots, fairy tales, bunnies, squishmallows, sharks, outer-space, macarons, graveyards, dresses, handwritten letters, studio ghibli, pressing flowers between the pages of my favorite books, strawberries, the smell of books, flowering tea, wes anderson films, bookstores & libraries, cuddling, butterflies, floral print, cozy sweaters, candles, when smells act as time machines, penny presses, everything about autumn, holding hands, rainy dreary days.

music: fleetwood mac, turnover, nirvana, the front bottoms, andrew mcmahon, chappell roan, bon iver, sonic youth, phoebe bridgers, david bowie, death cab for cutie, yeah yeah yeahs, mitski, ghost, the smiths, ethel cain, type o negative, pixies, the cure, faye webster, spiritbox, lana del rey, coheed and cambria, alexandra savior, fiona apple, sleep token, deftones, billie eilish, the story so far, taylor swift, eliott smith, bright eyes, florence + the machine, blink-182, & more.

tv: buffy, gossip girl, bridgerton, supernatural, doctor who, grey’s anatomy, the x files, the vampire diaries, yellow jackets, peaky blinders, last of us, outlander, new girl, it’s always sunny in philadelphia, walking dead, parks & rec, charmed, twin peaks, friends, what we do in the shadows, schitt’s creek, degrassi, community, pretty little liars, etc.

films: i love horror movies (terrifier, scream, & halloween are my favorites). i am also obsessed with studio ghibli, wes anderson, & audrey hepburn films. <3

books: my all time favorite books are jane eyre & pride and prejudice. i am also a fan of thrillers, poetry, fantasy, and a sucker for a cheesy romance book (sue me). always opened for book recommendations if you’d like to send me one! (:

my side blogs: @teacuploveletter // @fairieslivehere // @shesdaydreamingagain // @arainyautumnnight // @porcelainmoons // @clumsyhoneybee // @grungyfairy // @snowandtinsel //

Listed fandom rankings ...

We've just hours to go before signups close for the 2024 FTH auction. In the history of FTH we've only had one fandom ever break 100 signups in a single auction — MCU had 100+ signups in 2020. Right this minute, however, we're only 3 signups away from having a second fandom crack that number. K-pop is RIGHT ON THE EDGE. Will you help it make it across that line? Or sign up for another fandom and bump them up the list? There's still time. Do the thing!

At the top of our listed fandom leaderboard, we have the top ten:

97 K-Pop * 83 Good Omens 55 Sherlock Holmes * 47 Harry Potter * 46 Marvel * 39 Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed 37 DC * 35 Avatar The Last Airbender 30 Star Wars * 29 Scum Villain's Self-Saving System

And falling out of the top ten (by just one signup) -

no one has ever (or at least not recently) asked me about the titles of my fic, i'm stealing this idea from sekrit because a. i think sekrit is cool (@skrtomg), b. i actually already have a playlist of nearly ever fic i've ever titled and c. i like this kind of personal record keeping and archival work. the vast, vast majority of my fic titles are from songs and you'll quickly notice i like re-contextualizing or just futzing around with them. maybe i'll include the lines songs come from when they're relevant? we'll see. (links are to the songs, not the fics).

my fairly eclectic taste in music is one of the things that i love most about myself and i think its...not really on show here, hah. i promise i listen to more than 30-40 year old white men who are just like, regretting some things man.

a long night is alright (glee, 2009) so a hot kiss is alright / so a long kiss is alright / so a long night is alright / and all night is alright

Tightrope (the bear, whether you're high or low/ you got to tip on the tightrope / T-t-t-t-tip on the tightrope

(tried to) let go my lover (p-valley, i tried to let go my lover / thought if i was alone / then maybe i could recover

your candle, your statuette (schitt's creek, so i'll be your candle / i'll be your statuette / i'll be your lashing loop of leatherette / o philomena / if only you'd let me go down

starting from zero, nothing to lose (shameless any place is better / starting from zero, got nothing to lose / maybe we'll something / me, myself, i got nothing to prove

invisible and weightless (challengers, 2024) don't have a sunnyside to face this / i am invisible and weightless / you can't imagine how i hate this

the table, set and shining (challengers, 2024) call your boys / now that the table's set and shining / no one seen any of them in many days

(also that series is titled sometimes friends are mean)

you and your (perfect) girls (omgcp, 2024) If this what you truly want, I can wear her skin…over mine. Her hair, over mine. Her hands as gloves. Her teeth as confetti. Her scalp, a cap. Her sternum, my bedazzled cane. We can pose for a photograph. All three of us, immortalized. You and your perfect girl.

(tell everyone) you were a good wife (omgcp, 2020) in my life / i hope i lie / and tell everyone you were a good wife / and i hope you die / i hope we both die

do you still take a long time to get ready? (iwtv, 2024) do you till take a long time to get ready? / cause you used to make too much / out of that kind of stuff

a lush little miss (iwtv, 2024) We knocked on the door and it opened with ease / And a lush little miss said, "Come in, please" / And before we could even bat an eye / We were right in the middle of a big fish fry

rubbing ghost on ghost (iwtv, 2024) they were rubbing on each other / rubbing ghost on ghost / there were junked out punks and Jesus freaks

Right so, I’ve posted 79 fics in phandom and i’m simply not doing all those fics, particularly because most of the titles aren’t even that interesting? So I grabbed some of the most popular ones and my faves and if you’re just dying to know about that one fic, send me an ask or something.

shapes and weights to choose (phandom, 20??) Made of plastic and elastic / He is rugged and long-lasting / Who could ever, ever ask for more? / Love without complications galore / Many shapes and weights to choose from / I will never leave my bedroom

unashamed, wide open for joy (phandom, 2017)

out with the dumps, in with the condom'd orgasmic friend-- still rubbery muscular, unashamed wide open for joy hard times, baby (phandom, 2018) I'm gonna reach Gloria / She’s holding her hand to me / You gotta little of the hard times baby / Hard times baby

lost the map (phandom 2019) And it's true that I stole your lighter / And it's also true that I lost the map / /But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to / I had to take your word on that

now what have we learned? basically nothing! i love (a) parenthesis. titling fics is the very last thing i do and sometimes its a well thought out title that's connected to the fic and sometimes it just like, what i was listening to at the time. The Decemberists are the most represented in terms of titling but i think that's just because they're so incredibly verbose, its easy to clip something from their lyrics that seems to Say Something.

Welcome, hi, take a seat. ☕️ Coffee? Tea? Something stronger? Anyway… I'm Hippo. I write fic and occasionally make edits and a smattering of other things. My works and content skew more mature so you must be 18+ to interact here.

Fandoms/Ships you can expect: 9-1-1, Buddie, Lutalia, BuckTommy, BuddieTommy, EddieTommy, Schitt’s Creek, David/Patrick, Stevie/Ruth, Twylexis, David & Stevie (platonic soulmates ftw), the occasional OC, very occasional Hawk/Tim (Fellow Travelers)

Sometimes I remember to tag spoilers, sometimes I forget (oops)

In this house:

we ship Buddie, BuckTommy, BuddieTommy and EddieTommy but most of all we are happy af for Bi Buck and Character Growth™️.

We do not disparage Shannon Diaz

no going after actors for their *fictional character’s* behavior

Hiiiii! For the love your fandom asks, tell me 5, 11, 16, and 20! 🥰

5. something you see in fics a lot and love

Words. I love it when fic writers give me words.

As for an actual answer: Oxford 👏 Slut 👏 Phase 👏

11. if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

Wow, this question is mean. Who would ask someone this????

And who the fuck let me put two hundred and fifty nine works on AO3?

Podfics first: It's gotta be Going Platinum by @cricketnationrise. It's by FAR the longest solo project I've done (I think there's one posted podfic and one work in progress that I might have more audio minutes on, both as a narrator for a multi-voice project, but I didn't have to edit that shit so it's not my problem 🤣) and for some batshit insane reason I decided to do soundscaping/sound effects for the first time??? But I LOVED how it came out, and I was exceptionally proud of myself for keeping it a secret from cricket because that was HARD. (And yes I WILL be recording parts two and three!)

Schitt's Creek fic: Time until the end of time, the afterlife fic @ships-to-sail and I co-wrote over TWO YEARS and, not to toot our own horns, but the fandom at large slept on it 😅 It's amazing, actually.

RWRB fic: This one's brutal. It's almost Much Ado, and idk maybe it should be Much Ado, but I actually think it's Like loving the stars themselves aka the Doctor Who AU. Also a little bit slept on, actually, but not to the same extent as above 🤣 I am phenomenally proud of this one. The genre was way outside my usual comfort zone and I think this fic is the best example of the way I love to write media AUs -- the story bent to fit the characters, so it's very much an Alex And Henry Story, but there are little pieces of DW canon, RWRB canon, and something that's entirely my own.

16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate

There are so many, honestly, but Alex's slightly hysterical thought about wanting to send whoever taught Henry to suck cock a gift basket is so, so fucking important to me for an array of Overthinking/Over-identifying Reasons. Also it's just funny as hell. I was very proud of getting a different version of it into chapter two of the arranged marriage AU, actually; I think that bit in particular is one of the funnier things I've written.

20. your very first fandom!

The one owned by terf queen mcgee. That was bb!MJ's first exposure to fanfiction and where I started writing fic.
