actually feeling so much better that I can post my quaint little NYE Dom/Trent fic after we’ve won our match 😭 don’t have to lie in depression for the rest of the evening haaaaa

anyway, hope you enjoy 😘

[heavenorsilverstone]

like everyone else I was deeply inspired by the events of last weekend and wanted to capture this beautiful tragic thing they have, so: pierre & este for my first ever f1 fic!

The air is never clear for Esteban.

omg thank u for answering. I am interested in any Liverpool ships & fics that are well written 😆 lol whatever fics you like!

Ok!! I mostly wanted to clarify that you were into football slash and not x reader 😅 Both are fine but I only have recs for one 😊

I kept this to recently active writers to make it manageable. Also I tried to complete this without too much thought because otherwise I would spiral but I’m so afraid I forgot someone obvious so apologies in advance 🙏

My favourite (mostly) Liverpool writers are, in alphabetical order:

@blowthemoonout / halfacre

@brinywxter

@erlingshaalands / preachingdoll

@footnotesandendings / inlovewithnight

@immortaltale / perfectpride

januarysveryown

@kloppinthekop

@konstantinostsimikas / anon on ao3 but fic is “static”

@mebiselfandi / peachpulp

suoh

@tl-trashtalk

@trentxaa / baozibb

@ollieflopkins / selkathyouth

@walkon-throughtherain / stardust_66

hay football fan-ification update:

since being on exchange in the uk, i've seriously fallen into a football hole - i'm listening to football pods, watching interviews, youtube content, and highlights 24/7 ++ my tiktok and twitter fyps are inundated with transfer news, thirst traps, compilations, podcast clips, interviews etc etc. though it helps that being a spurs fan isn't a one-way ticket to hell anymore aha... getting into spurs in early 2020 was criminal and i fell out of it after a few months. fast forward to the wwc and with australia doing so well, it was easy to jump back into the sport + the prem during august and now here we are. i've been watching every spurs game, keeping up with the matildas qualifiers too, bought tickets to see spurs v everton and the wsl spurs v arsenal game at the spurs stadium!! lads it's so real for me... #upthetillies #coys

it helps that i have a flatmate who literally lives in tottenham next to the stadium and is a casual fan who's coming to see the games with me! plus my cousins back home who've literally carried me through this football fan journey - they took me to my first football game in sydney, gave me their optus sport acc to stream, and we have a gc to chat and debrief about everything so it's so fun having both friends and family to chat with about the football <3

writing fanfic for them has been fun as well - i forget how much i enjoy writing for rarepairs or how easy it comes to me to write for fandoms that i'm not in a community for (?) like i will always love writing f1 rpf, especially chalex and the tiny but mighty island we have here on f1blr <3, but with the ships i like in spurs i.e. cutison, community-wise, it's me, a smattering of sonny fans, and the entire continent south america on twitter. so even if i'm not interacting and participating in a fan content creation community like i am on tumblr, i found my love for writing again and find myself constantly inspired, which is nice :))

sidenote: i watched the heechan dominik video they did at leipzig and have been bewitched body and soul by szobo, and by default lfc... i wish i had a more compelling reason to like liverpool (or at least back them in the comps they're competing in that spurs aren't lol), but no i was dickmatised, then came across the trent/dom tiktoks and started binge-reading their ao3 tag, of which there are few fics but more like a sea by selkathyouth is my favourite so far. they're all so likeable and the team dynamics are unrivalled - there are narratives there that i've yet to deep dive into but <33 big ups! ynwa xxx

@endowataru tagged me to post the last sentence in my latest wip, ilysm Iris 🙂‍↕️ (I “write” for f1 aka I’m a recovering football rpf writer with three f1 wips - one lestappen one haasbands one galex - and zero published f1 works lmao) but the wip I wrote a little for recently is my haasbands wip

Nico woke up this morning determined to be positive. Determined to have a good media day, deciding resolutely that he would find the fun in it again. But that, like many of his plans recently, has failed. Slipped out of his hands and his control like a ghost, taunting him as it goes. He hears his own voice in his head. You used to be better at this.

I’m stabgenerator on ao3 for f1 and selkathyouth for football 😘

[ollieflopkins]

(for @mebiselfandi 😊)

This has been a wip for weeeeeeks but finally we’ve arrived. not even really sure how to summarize this. Darwin is a hungry sneaky little loverboy and his six begs (Virgil, Dominik, Alexis, Kostas, Lucho, and Mo - Trent gets invited too) finally corner him after the Forest away match.

enjoy 😉

[ollieflopkins]

actually kinda emo about how in the past three-ish months I’ve put out six fics and they’ve all received more love and thoughtful feedback than I could have imagined. writing is a really important outlet and hobby for me and this community has been so encouraging.

If you’re a writer too that I’ve read recently I hope I have shown you the love and feedback you need too!!

thank you again. if you ever want to read my fics I’m selkathyouth on ao3 😄 and of course I said I was tired of writing after my last one (I am) but now I’m going to write more 🩷❤️

[ollieflopkins]

My new Dom/Trent fic 🤭 in which Dom is down on himself and Trent, the leader and man he is, takes it on himself to fix it 🤭

[ollieflopkins]

This is my new Andy/Virgil fic hehe.. hope you like it ;)

[ollieflopkins]

Writing patterns ✍️

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 posted fics and see if there is a pattern!

Thank you for tagging me @antspaul 💕

⭐️ All my fics are men’s football rpf. Also, I only have 8 fics under my newish ao3 handle selkathyouth, so for 9 and 10, I used the last two fics I wrote that used to be associated with the ao3 handle backfourteen, my former self hehe, that are now orphaned. ⭐️

1. “After the First Reading, let us sing the Psalm, with the people making the response.” (I felt you and I knew you loved me, dominik/trent catholic priest au, 2/7 chapters published)

2. “New Year’s Eve is corny.” (Licking his wounds, dominik/trent)

3. Manu likes to keep his feet on the ground. (From the depths I call on you, manuel ugarte/darwin nunez)

4. Almost old news, Trent saving the day. But it certainly never gets old. (Once, once only, dominik/trent)

5. Right after Bournemouth away, even before hitting the showers, everyone checks their phones. (Shove your sharpened heel, virgil/andy)

6. Andy is lying on his stomach, luxurious white bedspread rucked up around him and pillowing him as Virgil puts his entire weight on him from above. (Rejoicing at your table, virgil/andy & virgil/andy/trent/dominik)

7. Virgil’s mind has always functioned in a series of compartments. (Spilled the milk, virgil/andy and background dominik/trent)

8. Trent felt like he had something in his eye all summer. (More like a sea, dominik/trent)

9. “Cholo is fat.” (A boy, a man, diego simeone/fernando torres)

10. “It feels weird not to say ‘From the Embassy Row Studios in the crap part of SoHo, Men in Blazers world headquarters,’ Rog.” (The once and future mate, joe hart/james milner)

I don’t see too much of a pattern! I usually like to jump right into action without too much exposition so I’m surprised more of my fics don’t start with quotes! I think the More like a sea and the Spilled the milk first lines feel most similar, which makes sense because those were my first two fics after coming back to fic writing after 7-8 years!

Tagging the other fic writers I know on here 😄: @kloppinthekop @trentxaa @immortaltale @erlingshaalands @azulera @curiousthyme @tl-trashtalk @valonia47 @stormoflina and obvi if I forgot you please still do it if you want!

[ollieflopkins]

Chapter 2 of my newest domitrent :) yes I said I'd probably be posting regularly since the whole work was fully outlined, yes that turned out not to be true because I haven't been in the mood to write 💕

[ollieflopkins]

okay beauties, this is my new fic :) you asked for the Virgil/Andy/Trent/Dom foursome ✅ and you asked for Andy to be taken care of ✅ andy is very hard at work at the attitude factory but I promise he’ll settle by the end, just needs to get sorted out by Virgil and Dom obvi 😏💅🏼

[ollieflopkins]

my new dom/trent!

my first au, my first chaptered fic, I had a vision and I’m so excited about it.

will update regularly (as regularly as I can) - will make sure this one gets finished 😉

[ollieflopkins]

my month old Trent/dom baby just got 100+ kudos which feels cool 🩷🥹

(I was going to say that I’ve never had a fic get more than 100 kudos but…my orphaned deledier series from 2016 currently has WAY more than that lol s/o to my orphaned works)

[ollieflopkins]

my new fic 😌

the result of some intense Manuel Ugarte brain rot + Darwin Nunez worship, plus @erlingshaalands’s encouragement and help!

my first time writing non-Liverpool-centric fic but if you like my other fics I think you’ll enjoy this, too 😄

[ollieflopkins]

My new fic, my Virgil/Andy + Trent/Dom freaky lil thing. I'm desperate for sexy Virgil content girls, please point me in the right direction. anyway enjoy <3
