people wanting skamfr to end already like, it's not that long and it has a lot to be told
have you ever heard about malhação? 🫢
it can be good, or not, like any other show out there. and it's not just a remake anymore, I think that's interesting...somehow.

My favorite extras, and what I’ve named them in my head+why:
First, my favorite extra, Johan:
Tumblr media
My first post about Johan. His backstory that me and Little Z made up.
Karl:
Tumblr media
Idk he just looked like a Karl to me.
Felix and Alma:
Tumblr media
Again, idk I just started calling them that for some reason.
Isak:
Tumblr media
He reminded me of Isak from SKAM
Matilda:
Tumblr media
She has a bob and so does Matilda.
Lovisa:
Tumblr media
She looks chill and I've never met an un-chill Lovisa in my life.
Engla:
Tumblr media
I was imagining her as the face of Engla when I wrote Simon Eriksson: Just Some Guy From Biology.
I hope you have enjoyed this thoroughly unhinged post as we await season three. 💜

Tag Game Tuesday: 911 Lone Star Fandom Edition
Thank you for the tags! @thisbuildinghasfeelings @rmd-writes & @goldenskykaysani
When did you first start watching Lone Star? Who or what introduced you to the show?
I first started watching LS around the 2nd or 3rd episode of season 1 after seeing some adorable gifs of Owen & TK floating around on my tumblr feed.
Tumblr media
I wish I could find out who patient zero was that first brought them to my attention from my follow list, but I think it must've been someone from the Skam fandom? maybe?
Which season is your favorite?
Season 3, baby!! and ngl, I highly doubt anything will top it at this point just based off where the plots have gone since.
Who is your favorite character? (Bonus: If you answered TK or Carlos, who is your favorite besides them?)
Tumblr media
I mean - y'all knew what the answer would be to this one, right? Obviously Paul is my favorite. I do also really love TK. I know I have a reputation for loving Paul because I get very animated about him LOL... but I would like to put TK in my pocket and keep him safe forever, thank you.
Top five episodes. Go!
3.13
2.09
3.08
2.08
3.04
If you could pick any character to be given a "begins" episode, who would it be and what would that episode look like?
Paul. One hundred percent, I need it from Paul. I know everyone and their brother is going to or has answered Carlos for this and that tracks for a tarlos based fandom... but my unpopular opinion is that we've gotten quite a bit of character backstory for him this past season compared to some others like Nancy, Paul, and Marj. I feel like Paul has been part of the core group since the beginning but hasn't seen the amount of meaty plots as some of the others have. He's due!
Tumblr media
What is a scenario or storyline that you would like to see in season 5?
Okay, I have two ideas for this: - an episode in which some of the characters who rarely interact are somehow trapped together due to some kind of emergency/disaster/storm and must navigate their way out together while the rest of the team helps from the outside. There are a few groupings we could use for it, but I personally would have the potential pairings be one of the following (or all three at once??): Paul & Tommy... TK & Grace... Judd & Carlos. I feel like these 3 pairings are people we don't get to see interact one-on-one often (or at all) and it would be super fun! - a true HEAT WAVE. they very briefly had that heat thing happen in 4x01 but I want a whole episode about a temperature heat wave and how first responders have to deal with them. this is TEXAS, c'mon. Plus the theme of heat throughout the episode could pop up in various character's stories. Tarlos = sexy heat. One of the firefighters = heat in the form of pressure in their job like a promotion of some kind. etc.
What do you think is going on in this still?
I have absolutely no fucking clue 😂 So I will instead direct you to this wonderful little spec fic by @littlemissmarianna As much as I hate everything to do with the Gabriel plot and tbh am not excited to see its continuation... if they manage to pull something off like that fic, I might actually enjoy some of it!
We all know about the elusive 5x05 spicy scene that has been teased, so what is your prediction for how it could possibly top 1x02?
... soooooooo I must confess something here...
Tumblr media
*whispers* I don't actually know all about the elusive 5.05 spicy scene. someone needs to fill me in. I have not been paying attention to spoilers & speculation as much this time around since last season's speculation went so terribly for me 🤭🤣
Where was the Tarlos honeymoon in your mind?
Something about Carlos "getting homesick after a weekend in Branson" just tickles me. and the sarcastic way TK talks about the idea of Carlos wanting to travel the world also just amuses me to no end...
Tumblr media
so this paired with the way the wedding went down, I think TK wouldn't want to make Carlos travel very far. or leave his mother so soon. I think TK wants his husband to feel as safe and comfortable as possible and so they spend a weekend at a nice spa/resort near Austin. Some place like this: Miraval Austin and then spend the rest of their honeymoon week bundled up together at home.
Shoutout one of your favorite fan creations.
for fics, I'm gonna be a little lazy here and link some of my previous themed fic rec lists:
but truly there are some wonderful fics in those lists!!! For some fanart: - this one by @whatsintheboxmh is one of my faves. ankle grab my beloved. 🥺🥰 - this one of s5 TK by @fitzherbertssmolder is so adorable! - this one of BUTTERCUP! by @greentealycheejelly is absolutely precious. - this one of Paul & Marjan!! by @heartstringsduet is amazingggg. give me all the paul fanart - this one of Grace by @yorit1 is stunning.
I'm not sure who has already done this, but I'm gonna tag some mutuals that I don't think I've seen it from yet (no pressure though!!) @lemonlyman-dotcom @herefortarlos @tkstrandreyes @three-drink-amy @littlemissmarianna @mikibwrites @alrightbuckaroo

Top 5 lesbian shows you'd recommend?
Wow this is actually a super hard question because I don't know many shows that are exclusively sapphic, like, most of them have a main story and the romance is happening parallel to that, yk? But I'll try to give you my favs shows with sapphic storyline.
Skam - Teenager High School Drama, with multiple seasons but you can skip it (story is practically independent each season and it's super easy to follow it) and only watch the sapphics storylines. You should check Skam German (Druck) Season 6, Skam Spain Season 2, Skam Belgium (Wtfock) Season 7, Skam France Season 6.
The Haunting of Bly Manor - Horror show with top-tier writing here but warning for bury your gays trope. Hella angst at the end and they don't have as much scenes they deserved but it's a beautiful story.
Yellow Jackets - This one is tricky because we have a canon main sapphic couple (they are adorable) but most of the fandom is obsessed with the noncanon couples (we are insane) like lottienat or jackieshauna due to the intense homoerotic subtext for them. The show is annoyingly heterosexual though, but I feel like most watchers ignore that. It's about girls going nuts after being stuck in the wilderness after a plane crash and it should be only about women but somehow they keep bringing man drama to this. You can always skip a lot of scenes like I did 😊
Dickinson - This one is theoretically a biography of poet Emily Dickinson, but it's a very light and adorable comedy series. Just be careful with the ending as it follows Emily's real life and what happened to her (google it if you want spoilers)
Harley Quinn/She Ra - I couldn't pick between those two incredible animations so they are gonna share this spot. They are very different, Harley Quinn is a dark comedy for adults while She-Ra is for children but both are amazing.
Honorable mentions: Orange is the new Black (too many sad endings), The Last Of Us (The main is a lesbian but don't expect happiness this show is brutal), Orphan Black (The couple is amazing but they lack screentime), Derry Girls (Beautiful show but no ship, we have a lesbian character though), Trinkets (Comedy), Wynnonna Earp (An actual Queer Supernatural). I Am Not Okay With This (Cancelled), First Kill (Cancelled), Gentleman Jack (Cancelled), One Day At Time (Cancelled), Everything Now (Cancelled yet season 2 in production).
(dis) honorable mentions: Euphoria (Very toxic couple with a bunch of controversial behind scenes drama. But Zendaya kisses Hunter Schafer so we win while we loose). Killing Eve (Amazing three seasons before the homophobics show runners ignored the book ending to go for the bury your gays in the end), The 100 (Lexa's death created a whole festival you just had to be there), OUAT (pretty sure there were canon couples but the queerbaiting of Swan Queen made me physically ill). Supergirl (I refuse to comment). House of The Dragon (Specifically season 1, because idk wtf they are doing with s2.)
Just remember to check the warnings before watching any of this, especially Yellow Jackets, Everything Now.

Visual Effects in Only Friends MV part 2
The second song on the Only Friends OST dropped today; So What? by the amazing Ford Arun. Much like the first MV for Only Friends, this one is also has visual frameworks that made me stop and stare.
youtube
Just like my first post on this subject, where I talked about the late 90s/early 00s aesthetic of the show as well as controlled voyeurism (aka we only see what they want us to see), these themes show up again here, but a little differently. Unlike the Let's Try MV and the BTS vids which use multiple different effects and transitions as well as framing a lot of the scenes to look like (possibly) 90s camcorder footage, So What? has two visual effects (I think technically three, and I'll point out why I say it this way in a minute).
The first one is the camcorder footage effect. Except that it's even different from the Let's Try MV. While the Let's Try MV has the "play" prompt onscreen and time stamps, it now, to me, feels more like CCTV video than camcorder video. The video effect on So What? is definitely camcorder footage because it is time and date stamped.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, the time and date stamp is February 1st, 2020 at 6:06pm for every screen it appears on, which to me cannot be an accurate date/time for any of the scenes. Several of these scenes were from episodes 4, 5, 6, or potentially yet to air. Chuem drops info about Covid in episode one and in February of 2020, we were so early into the pandemic during that time that I'm not sure she would have referred to it so casually, plus with no Covid precautions being taken onscreen it does feel the show is set currently (aka 2023).
Why this date? Why 6:06pm? WHAT IS JOJO TRYING TO SAY HERE? Is this a specific reference to something upcoming on the show? Is this date famous in Thailand for something? Did he just pull a date and time out of a hat?
Onto the second effect: the yellow text on the screen is back! It was heavily used as a visual effect in episode one, and after a discussion with @ignoranaxed I did add it to my Narrative Frameworks post where I'm tracking visual effects on the show. We discussed whether or not this was an homage or reference to SKAM Norway, an extremely popular coming of age teen drama that had an amazingly done queer season (Season three. If nothing else, stop what you're doing and go watch SKAM Norway season three. You can thank me later). The show was so popular it has been remade in Spain, Italy, France, Germany (named Druck), Belgium (named WtFock), the United States and has even been announced as a Korean (BL?) drama for next year.
Tumblr media
Is this an actual homage? I came down on the side of maybe. I can't swear it is, but I can't say it isn't. That yellow text on the screen is iconic due to SKAM Norway, and it is used in every single remake of the show (if Korea doesn't use it, I will cry. Also, if Korea doesn't release/air it in the same way, I will cry). Leaving that aside, the yellow text is in Thai, and as yet, I have no idea what it says because my subs only translated the song lyrics, not the onscreen words. If anyone who knows Thai can help me with this, I would love you forever because there's one other thing that shows up in yellow on the screen, and it's this:
Tumblr media
WHY AN ELLIPSES, JOJO? WHAT DID IT SAY BEFORE THIS? I NEED TO KNOW WHY IT'S TRAILING OFF. IS IT TO BE CONTINUED? THE NOT KNOWING WILL DRIVE ME INSANE.
Onto the third , but maybe not really an effect: Is Ford photoshopped in here?
Tumblr media
I ask this because if he is (and I can't quite tell but I think maybe?) then does that mean this is future footage coming up on the show? Or, like Let's Try MV did with it's extra SandRay footage in the car, was this just shot for the MV? I'm curious to see what people think on this.
Now for the rest of the MV where I just melt down because WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DRAMA BETWEEN YO AND PLUG, JOJO? YOU CAN'T DO THIS. Also, is this Sand hugging Yo?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can't do this to my girl. This will hurt.
Do we think this is Boston and Nick potentially going ice skating or roller skating? Because if it's roller skating, JOJO I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER.
Tumblr media
In summary, the visual frameworks are back in play once again and what they're choosing to show and how feel important.
Tagging the ephemerality squad: @waitmyturtles, @wen-kexing-apologist, @ranchthoughts, @chickenstrangers, @lurkingshan, @twig-tea, @clara-maybe-ontheroad, @distant-screaming
Apologies to anyone I missed. If you would liked to be tagged in my OF posts/meta, please let me know and I will add you.

#22 Heartstopper
Plot: Nick and Charlie get placed together at form in school and immediately - sparks. Charlie's unsure if Nick likes him back, or even if he's non-straight. Nick on the other hand, get very confused about these new feelings. Meeting, falling in love and being out turns out to be more complicated than they could've ever imagined. But it's the love story of the century and together with supportive friends and family they can overcome anything. We also get to follow their friends and family in their own endeavours, like the relationships between Tao and Elle and Tara and Darcy as well as Isaac's ace-journey.
Years: 2022-
Seasons: 2 (season three arriving in 2024)
My story: There's so much to say here, but I'll try to keep it short. I discovered Heartstopper shortly after the first season had arrived to Netflix. It fast became one of my favourites and led to a few rewatches over the first year. But I didn't move further into the fandom just yet. When season 2 dropped I'd been longing for it all summer. I'd had a rough year with chaos at work combined with both my grandfathers passing away within two months. I'd been keeping myself distracted with travelling all summer, but then suddenly there were no distractions left. My mental health spiraled. The only thing that kept me afloat was Heartstopper. I watched all episodes everyday for about two months. I read the comics over and over. I went deep into the Osemanverse and I read books, which I normally never do. I got into tumblr. All of it kind of became my saving. And I owe it all to Alice Oseman.
Teachable moments: For me Heartstopper teaches us primarily about how love is always just love, in whichever form it comes in. Wheither it's platonic, romantic or other types of love, wheither it's the love you feel for your partner or the love you feel for friends and family - they're all valid and important.
Best character: Even though I love them all, I've always had a soft spot for Charlie. There's so many layers of him and I am really looking forward to how the rest of his journey will be portrayed on screen. He has the biggest heart and is so much stronger than he thinks.
Best episode: "Boyfriend" (S1E8). I love how this episode start at the deep end and ends on a high note. Nick's speach and their kiss in the corridor together with the beach trip just makes this perfect. A big runner up is "Truth/Dare" (S2E6), not the least for Tara and Darcy's story and growth.
Best quote: "I think there's this idea that when you're not straight you have to tell all your friends and family immediately, like you owe it to them. But you don't." (Charlie to Nick) This line has really helped me in my own journey about sexuality/attractions.
Fun fact: It'd be hard to find a fun fact that the Heartstopper fandom didn't already know (even though it might be true for all the series in this calendar). But for the not so initiated it'd be fun to know that Joe Locke, who plays Charlie, got the role through an open audition and this is his first time acting professionally. In 2024 he'll be both in a new Marvel series (which, in a parallel universe is quite funny since Charlie doesn't like Marvel) and do his Broadway debut in Sweeny Todd.
If you like this you might also like: Young Royals, Skins, Tales of the City, Skam and Atypical.
Tumblr media
(Heartstopper is the adaptation of Alice Oseman's webcomic and books. Volume 5 was just released and volume 6 will be the last one. The webcomic is normally released three times a month, but will now be on a hiatus for about six months, until Alice have some volume 6 stuff to share. Also check out the novellas Nick and Charlie and This winter as well as Alice's novels Solitaire (where the story about Nick and Charlie started), Radio Silence, I was born for this and Loveless. She has also written and created the Netflix series.)

Tarjei talks about Furia, Skam and student life in new Dagbladet article.
Google translation of the article:
"- Weird to talk about
Tarjei Sandvik Moe is back after deprioritizing acting for the past three years.
Tumblr media
SOON ON THE SCREEN: Tarjei Sandvik Moe will soon be seen in a new season of the thriller series "Furia". Photo: Heiko Junge / NTB
Actor Tarjei Sandvik Moe (24) achieved international smash success with the youth series "Skam" in 2015. NRK's ​​series third season dealt with Sandvik Moe's character, the high school student Isak, and his path towards accepting himself as gay.
The series won many awards, and the 24-year-old was, among other things, nominated for best male actor during "Gullruten" in 2017. He did not go home empty-handed, and walked away with the audience award together with "Skam" colleague Henrik Holm (28).
Tumblr media
AWARD WON: Henrik Holm and Tarjei Sandvik Moe received an award during the Gullruten in 2017. Photo: Marit Hommedal / NTB
Since then, the actor has taken part in a number of productions, including "Tainted(Skitten snø)", "Possession(Forbannelsen)" and "An affair(En affære)".
New role
On the top floor of the Munch Museum is a bar with large windows that fill the room with sunlight.
At a table, Dagbladet is waiting for the actor on the occasion of the press day for season two of the thriller series "Furia".
Tumblr media
AROUND EUROPE: The series has been recorded in several locations in Europe. Tarjei Sandvik Moe has the role of political adviser. Photo: Prime Video
Sandvik Moe comes walking with a big smile on his face before extending his hand and saying hello. He takes his place opposite Dagbladet.
In season two of the Prime series, Sandvik Moe plays a political adviser. It meant a new world to get into.
- How do you prepare for such a role?
- I try to think about what kind of energy and rhythm he should bring to the scenes. How to carry my body, carry my voice, my hands. How does he walk? And learn the lines so that they sit well in your mouth, and try to understand what is at stake. And then come to the recording, listen, be present and have fun.
- Crazy
The days of filming offered a lot of action, and there is one scene in particular that the actor remembers particularly well.
- There was a scene that we recorded here in Oslo, out in the city. Then I would run. The camera operator filmed this with roller skates on. At full speed backwards on roller skates! I thought that was very cool, says the 24-year-old with great enthusiasm.
The main roles in the series are played by ring foxes Ine Marie Wilmann (39) and Pål Sverre Hagen (43). Sandvik Moe was disappointed when he read the script and realized that he would spend little time working with the latter.
- What I think was a bit weird is that Pål Sverre plays in this series, and he is an actor I think is incredibly talented, but I don't have any scenes with him. Our characters have nothing to do with each other, explains the actor.
- I got to meet him a bit on set. But I've met him before. We were counter-nominated once on Gullruten, and then of course he won. No big surprise. But then I talked to him a bit in Bergen many years ago. So it was the great sadness that they couldn't find a way to make our characters meet.
Tumblr media

- Hard to say
"Furia" is one of many productions the star has taken part in since we met him as Isak in "Skam" almost ten years ago.
- How do you think "Skam" has influenced your career?
- No idea. It is hard to say. I have been privileged in the way that I have been able to do a lot of acting work, and I hope that I would have been able to do it anyway. I have had an intention long before that, and knew that I was passionate about performing arts and film, and I have a strong drive to keep at it. That is what I think is the most important thing for me. I am passionate about what I do.
Tumblr media
MET THE PRINCESS: Tarjei Sandvik Moe with Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Crown Prince Haakon and Princess Kate during a visit to Hartvig Nissen's school in Oslo, known as the "Shame" school. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB
Sandvik Moe is nevertheless open to the fact that NRK's ​​success may have opened doors for him.
- So I won't be naive either, it was certainly an advantage that I got a TV role when I was young. But I'm me anyway. It's weird to talk about alternate realities. What if you were born in another part of the world? I relate to the reality that is here, says the actor with a smile.
About student life: - Absolutely wonderful
Although the 24-year-old has already managed to build up an impressive acting CV, it has been important for Sandvik Moe to study. He is currently a student at the Norwegian Film School in Lillehammer.
- Now I'm studying film in my final year and I think it's absolutely wonderful. So I appreciate the reality I am allowed to be a part of. Then all the other realities get to live their own lives.
- How do you combine study assignments, a social life and intense recording around Europe with "Furia"?
- I have done much smaller plays in the last three years, because I have lived in Lillehammer and studied film scripts. I have prioritized it, because it has been important for me to study there. So I did this a bit at the same time, he explains.
- It was stressful, but it went well!"

SKAM REVERSE BANG 2025 BETA READER INFO
TIMELINE
SIGN UP
15 NOVEMBER 2024 - 15 APRIL 2025
Sign ups open on November 15th 2024 and will remain open until April 15th 2025.
2. COLLABORATION
15 APRIL 2025 - 15 JUNE 2025
As agreed between you and the author you are paired with, you may be asked to beta read chapter per chapter, or the complete work in one go. Be sure to communicate well to manage expectations on both sides.
3. CELEBRATION
21 JUNE 2025 - 01 AUGUST 2025
Time to share the finished work and celebrate all things SKAM!
RULES & FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GENERAL
What is a Reverse Bang?
In a reverse of a more traditional ‘Big Bang’ fan event, a Reverse Bang is a fan-centric collaborative event where writers write a fic based on art created by fellow fans.
Both the ‘Big Bang’ and ‘Reverse Bang’ type of event can be traced back to the tradition of fanzines, which often combined visual and written fan art.
How can I be part of the Reverse Bang 2025?
There are three ways to participate: as an artist, as a writer, or as a beta reader.
Artists will create original artworks to celebrate SKAM. Writers will then create a written work specifically inspired by the artwork. And beta readers will be cheering on the authors, and helping them polish their work.
If you cannot be part of the Reverse Bang this year, we invite you warmly to enjoy the art and the fics starting on June 21st 2025, and give the finished works your love to keep the fandom alive!
You may join in more than one role, if you’d like… but be sure you can really commit to the tasks expected of you before you do so.
Can I join together with my friend?
Of course! In past events, there have been teams of writers working together on one fic. We welcome artists to do the same, if they like. In that case, you can join as a team - just let us know the contact data of all team members.
Artists and writers cannot join up as a team. The spirit of the event is to be paired up with someone you might not know before. But we hope you’ll join anyway, and meet new SKAM fans to collaborate with!
Beta readers and writers can team up if they wish to do so, but they will need to sign up separately.
Is the SKAM Reverse Bang 2025 open to all versions of SKAM and all ships?
YES! All versions of SKAM, all seasons, all ships are allowed. The more the merrier!
How many people will I be paired up with?
The short answer is: at least one.
The slightly longer answer is that we cannot give any exact numbers yet, because we don’t know yet how many people will sign up as artists, as writers, or as beta readers. It is likely that some artists may get paired with more than one writer. If there are more artists than writers, we will check in with the writers to find out if people are willing to write more than one story. 
A second consideration is that our fandom encompasses many verses, generations, and ships; of which some are very popular and others relatively obscure. The broader the horizon of the artwork, the more writers will be able to write for it.
That said, we will try our absolute best to make sure every artist is paired with at least one writer, and vice versa.
Do I have to keep my creations a secret before the posting date?
Yes, and no.
Unlike previous SKAM Big Bang events, we will not have an anonymous pairing. This means that writers will know which artists have created which artworks, when they choose the works that inspire them. This also means that you can freely talk about your project during the creating period.
However, we ask that you do not share significant parts of your works outside of the event participants. A tease, a snippet, a mention for Six Sentence Sunday, … - these are fine; but we’d like the fandom to enjoy all the new artworks and fics during the posting period of the Reverse Bang. Let’s make it a true celebration of all things SKAM!
My English is not perfect. Will that be a problem?
Not at all! Most of us aren’t native English speakers, and we all make mistakes. Some of us speak other languages too, so we will find a way to communicate - even if we have to rely on online translators.
What do you mean by ‘checking in’?
During the timeframe of the creation of art or stories, we will check in with you to ensure you are on track to be ready by the end date, to help you find solutions to any problem that may arise, to encourage you during the creative process, and to make sure you are still having fun.
Is this event age restricted?
The SKAM Reverse Bang is open for fans aged 16 and over. However, if you are under 18, we will ask that both the art and the written work that you and your partner create, will be non-explicit in nature. Beta readers under 18 will only be paired with teams creating non-explicit works.
Will there be a place to hang out while we are creating and posting for the Reverse Bang event?
Every participant will be invited to a pre-existing lively Discord server with a group of enthusiastic, friendly and helpful SKAM fans. Note that this year there will be no separate Discord server dedicated to the event, but a section of the 21:21 SKAM Fan Content Creators server will be set up to host the SKAM Reverse Bang 2025.
While we hope you will join the Discord server, there is no obligation to do so. 
What will be the main form of communication between participants and mods?
As said, all participants will be invited to join our Discord server full of SKAM fans. 
However, should you choose not to, you can reach the Reverse Bang mods via email, or you can ask your question on the Skam Big Bang Tumblr account.
Where will the art and the stories created for the event be published and shared?
All written works will be posted on Archive Of Our Own (ao3), in a collection dedicated to the Reverse Bang. The author will include the art, a picture of the art, or link to the art, in their post. Artists may choose to post their art in a separate post on Archive Of Our Own (ao3).
If you want to participate, but have no Archive Of Our Own (ao3) account, we encourage you to request one as soon as you register for the Reverse Bang. You can ask the mods for help, if needed.
After the works have been posted into the collection, both writers and artists will be free to post their works on any other site, including their social media. 
Of course, you will need your partner’s permission to post their work. And obviously you must credit your partner appropriately when posting their work alongside your own!
What if I cannot meet a deadline?
While an event like this relies heavily on everybody involved being accountable, we understand there is this thing called life. If something pops up that makes you have to defer on a deadline, or have to drop out completely, please let us know as soon as possible. We are ready to figure out the best possible solution, but we need to know in order to keep the event moving seamlessly for everybody. Communication is key. Do not hesitate to contact us! Better a solution that's not needed in the end, than a problem snowballing into an experience that leaves someone unhappy.
That said, please take the deadlines and timelines into careful consideration before committing to participating. An event like this can only run smoothly if all the parts run smoothly. With that in mind, exceptions to the deadlines must remain rare exceptions.
Can I use AI?
AI takes many forms nowadays. While many of us use some form of AI as a tool while creating, we want this Reverse Bang to reflect the many talents of fans and fan-created works. Therefore, we will not allow any art or stories which were created solely by prompting an AI generator, even if you lightly edit or modify the result.
That said, use of AI as a tool can be permitted, provided it is disclosed. Disclosing will allow people not to engage with your work, should they so choose.
To make the difference clear, let’s consider some examples.
Let’s say your art has a background consisting of a repeated pattern. It might be fine to do that manually, but if you want, you could also use some form of AI to create a repetition of something you created. Or, if you want to draw a female figure in a certain position but have difficulty finding a good reference, you could ask AI to create one for you, as long as you then draw the final artwork yourself.
For writers, you might like to ask a chatbot to suggest some names of fantasy lands if you draw a blank. Or maybe you can prompt an AI story generator to describe the atmosphere of a Mediterranean marketplace, which you then use as inspiration to enhance one short paragraph of your story.
The examples above are meant to illustrate that minor uses of AI to help create a work of art or a story, where the AI generated part is either a minor detail of the final product and/or used as reference or inspiration without it ending up in the final product, will be permitted for this Reverse Bang.
To be abundantly clear: Art or stories which were, at their core, created by generative AI based on a prompt by a human, will not be permitted for this event.
You didn’t answer my question!
Oh no! We’re sorry, and we invite you to please contact us through email. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
BETA READERS
What is the job of a beta reader?
Depending on what your author needs, you can be asked to read through an author’s first (or second, third, …) draft to help them point out plot holes, continuity errors, or factual mistakes. Some authors only ask their beta readers to do a spelling, grammar and punctuation check. Sometimes, a beta reader is a cheerleader, or sometimes they help an author brainstorm narrative points, or they can provide tips for a better story flow.
You can let us know what you are willing to do when signing up, and we will try to match you with an author suited to your strengths.
Will I get to choose who I work with?
Yes and no.
You can definitely join the event together with a writer you’ve worked with before; but you can also ask to be paired randomly. In that case, we will check what your limits are in terms of story triggers, story lengths, etc. before pairing you up.

Druck Abi special
First I have to say that I know that we as a fandom collectively think of this as the last hurrah of Matteo's season or like as its own entity.  And in some ways that makes sense - it is, after all, the culmination of the themes of the previous season.  The end of school, the moving on and getting ready to launch into a new life etc etc.  But I think it’s fairly obvious that this episode mirrors the ‘revisit characters in a clip show’ episode of Skam itself and so should actually be fitted in as part of Amira’s season.  It is a very clever way to do that episode and to pass the torch from Matteo to Amira.  Either way, wherever it fits, I do (mostly) love this episode.  It’s a beautiful way to wrap up some loose plots and to celebrate these characters and the end of their time at school.
Clip one - I’m sorry to everyone who likes these two, but I just can never bring myself to care about this clip.  I never warmed to Alex (though in isolation from Mia he seems to be kind of fun in some scenes) and so I’m just not invested at all in this whole ‘oh no we’re going to be apart’ thing.  I often skip this clip when I watch this episode because it bores me.  Still, it does its job to start this episode off by showing a whole lot of the nostalgia and angst you get when things start to change.  Moving on and away from each other may be the right thing to do but it can often feel like a wrench.  You know, what if making these changes leads to something bad?  So it does set up for the themes and messages of the episode where it’s one last moment when things can be kept in a crystal but it’s there in the back of our minds: things are changing.
Clip two - I mean.  It’s Davenzi so obviously I’m going to really enjoy this one.  One thing I really do like is that it holds the opposite message to the previous clip.  In that one, moving on is hard and scary and worrying.  In this one, it’s exciting and exhilarating and I love that we get the two sides of the ‘end of school’ idea.  The message of ‘I’m excited for us and everything that’s coming’ is such a great one because there is that sense that endings can be scary and unnerving, and I’m not going to lie: I love that it’s these two who get that message.  The fact that Matteo has always been somewhat scared and intimidated by the future  has been such a huge part of him that seeing this now is just such a development.  Anyway, the other thing I love (and which I have discussed elsewhere) is that this clip really establishes (again!) that Matteo and David are total equals.  This clip, the way David motivates Matteo to study is by reminding him what life would be like if he fails: that David will be the mature adult one dating a high school kid.  That the balance between them would shift and be lost.  That potential for a loss of equality is what makes Matteo reluctantly move into study mode.  Anyway, I just really appreciate that the drum I spent the whole season banging was corroborated by this clip.  Also, clothes sharing!  Again!  I love that the show is so dedicated to this.  They just continuously wear each other’s stuff from the minute they properly got together and never stop.  The fact that David is in this top is also interesting.  It’s one that Matteo spent a lot of time being very unhappy in.  When David had pulled back and he felt alienated and rejected this is what he was wearing.  That it now signals their togetherness is a nice touch.
Clip three - I know we all knew that Amira’s season was coming and we would get to be with these characters again, but there was still something so nice in getting to hang out with them all here (apart from Carlos which was kind of sad.  I missed having him in this whole thing).  The reason why they’re here makes sense and I love that they’re all so supportive of each other.  Poor Kiki though.  She does take things onto her own shoulders so much more than she should.  I do think having a Kiki season would have been fascinating (as would a Vilde in the og) but I do love that this tendency of hers was explored further in Nora’s season and that we got to see how all of this impacted on that whole family.  I didn’t really like s1 and 2 Kiki even as she was growing but by the end of Nora’s season she was so much more rounded and developed and I really really love that we got to take this journey with her.  And this is such a nice part of that for her.  Despite how uncomfortable she made me in the early seasons, she’s now one of my favourite characters.  And I again really love how easily they have all accepted David in as part of this group.  That Kiki is easy enough with him to steal his snacks is a really nice touch.  I will say it forever: I adore this group of kids.  The way they connected as a whole big squad is so cool.  I will say, though, that I am not a fan of Stefan being shoe horned into this whole thing.  I know it was because of the s4 weird pov shift episodes and that makes it almost worse.  I wish Amira had been able to have her full story explored and developed rather than whatever this is.
Clip four - For quite a short clip a lot of stuff sure does happen in it.  The sharing of the grades, Amira being almost embarrassed about doing so well, Mia’s ‘everything fun starts now’ which is again referencing the ways life changes after school finishes.  Then Kiki, who is clearly still fragile in a lot of ways (interesting how much she has to grow up in Nora’s season - this is all a lot of responsibility being placed on these 3 girls’ heads) being so happy that she and Carlos will move in together.  I know that in the end this actually does work out and I love that this couple has been so strong through so much of the show and the ways in which they develop.  But of course everyone here is a bit ?????? about it.  Carlos is not in a great place, Kiki is clearly hiding stuff and under stress from her home life (which it feels like maybe the others don’t know about) so this doesn’t seem like the most sensible thing to do.  Of course it’s understandable why Kiki would want to leave home and it’s so cool that we do eventually see 3 different ways of dealing with a home life like this - and hers is to actively remove herself from the situation.  And perhaps Carlos knows all of this and so that’s partly why he suggests moving in together.  Anyway, one thing I do appreciate about all of this is that nothing happening with these characters over the next 2 seasons comes out of the blue.  The seeds have all already been planted.  
Clip five - I really love, once again, that Druck knows when a scene needs time to breathe and to live (another reason why I suspect people were so annoyed at how short the last clip of Matteo’s season was cut: it’s not usual for them to misfire like that - and we know why it happened but it doesn’t change that Druck is usually very good at this and so it stood out).  Anyway, this clip also has a lot going on but it works very well.  Because this really is that last moment of school where you’re on the brink of becoming adults and going out into the world and spending time as they make those goodbyes feels important.  I’m glad too that it isn’t the last we see of the characters, that we do get to spend Summer with them as well.
Anyway, there’s nothing more iconic than having your girl squad walk together in a shot and this is such a beautiful version of this image.  As much as Matteo’s season is dearest to my heart and he himself is my most beloved character, these girls are the real heart of the show and I really really adore seeing them together like this.  They all look wonderful, they glow and they’re so happy.  It’s just such a lovely moment.  The fact that they split up and go their own ways but come together over and over again during the evening is hopefully some sort of symbol of the future - they may not always be in the same place, but they can always come back together.  The conversation they have about splitting up and making sure they stay in contact feels like an necessary bookend to the one the boys had last season.
I love that Abdi finally actually takes the boys’ advice and uses direct communication with Sam.  And it’s really nice that he makes it clear that he wants this if it’s also okay with her.  It may not go as he planned to start, but at least this direct communication gets him what he wants by the end of the evening.  Who’d have thought that being open and honest gets you what you want (maybe David and Matteo know what they’re talking about!)  
While I don’t love this whole Stefan bit with Hanna (it feels so unnecessary to me to have this weird smarmy guy be the one she gets with ‘when I was your age’ - ugh just stop; that’s so gross and condescending and I don’t understand why my sweet Hanna likes him), I do love that it gives us a way to see how supportive Matteo and David are with Jonas.  We spent an entire season watching Jonas help Matteo out and try to be there for him so it’s nice to see it in reverse here.  Also the way these two tag team - Matteo taking on Stefan while David quietly supports Jonas - is just lovely.  They’re a team and they slide into it so effortlessly, and after very little time and effort they rescue Jonas and get him out of the situation.  
This is also a nice introduction of Amira’s family and the way her brothers are with her.  Essam is such a brat (in the best way) and even before we meet him we can tell that he’s a bit cheeky and likely to do chaotic things through the phone call with Amira.  By the end of the clip we can tell that Essam is the one who will get them into trouble and try to charm his way out and that Omar is much more chill and responsible.  It’s a nice introduction to them and I really really love that we already know them before her season starts.  And obviously that we see Mohammed.  I again enjoy the little differences here.  Sana already clearly had a crush (which was adorable) but Amira doesn’t appear to know Mohammed at all.  I love that their dynamic gets to be somewhat different and so she gets to have her own take on the story.  Once again, this has always been a real strength of Druck that allows it to make its characters their own people and keep us, the audience guessing.  Also, Mohammed is absolutely adorable, clearly super smitten with her already and just all over a great pick for this role.  
I know it was kind of predictable but I actually like the way Matteo and David winning best couple was handled.  Specifically that Matteo is so convinced this is all David’s fault for being so amazing (he literally accuses him of being the one to do this), while David is just shocked it happened at all.  It all feels very much in character.  David still can’t quite believe that he’s accepted and seen in this positive light.  That’s unsurprising - he’s had some very traumatic experiences at school and you can understand why he might not expect to be seen in this way.  Whereas Matteo has always been convinced that David shines like a beacon and everyone who knows him must love him (think him assuming he’s with Leonie because they hugged once) so their reactions are so perfectly them. Side note: both Leonie and Sara look amazing and they really should just get together.
This colour thing is cute and I do love the way it looks in so many of these shots, but I kind of wish it had been the Abi prank rather than here.  It feels a little out of place here but it is still fun I guess.  But I just spend my time thinking about all those lovely clothes' and how they’re now ruined.  But that’s probably the penny pincher in me.
I’m going to finish with the moment Matteo hands over the crown to Amira - I know we all discussed it at the time how it was symbolic of handing the reins over to her season, but even though it’s been discussed at length I think it’s a good point to leave this.  Matteo’s season is over, Amira’s is to come and I am so so grateful that we got such a lovely summery ending to this group.

In depth wtFOCK Season Three Thoughts (Part 2 Through the Seasons Review)
The other girl (Noor) storyline was questionable. (Having it take 3 episodes before Sander is introduced was a choice).
-and it's not like I'm closed off to changes, but I feel like they still could've introduced Sander in a different way without taking a 3rd of the season to do so (but I do like the little Where's Waldo of Sander in background scenes)
-I really thought there would be more significance/fallout to the Robbe-Noor graffiti. (I get it shows she's artistic like Sander, but) I thought that scene would contribute more to the entire storyline rather than just Robbe/Sander (first sighting).
I get the intended Robbe internalized homophobia. I don't hate it; should be interesting what changes it brings in the story. This is a much darker feel than the other evaks where "Isak" is concerned.
-the little things like the music he listens to as he walks up to his friends gives me the perception that he's always performing;
-and how his voice changes from when he's talking with the boys to when he answers a call from his mom
I'm a bit upset we didn't see more Robbe-Yasmina moments (he didn't leave the weed with her in this version, which is fine). [I know they spent some time during summer doing retakes, but I needed to see the friendship development or some bigger moments between them].
A change I like is that the season doesn't start off with "Isak" automatically living with "Eskild" (Milan).
Forgot to say this with the other seasons-this Skam might have the best cinematography and clear direction-but this season it's heightened
Love, love the apartment crew with Milan, Zoe, Senne, and Robbe!
Top tier first meet scene
-also grocery shopping was a nice change (plus music choices are great this version)
This "Isak" has some guilt immediately after during what would be the morning after the pool kiss scene; also it's kind of a change I like due to the obvious direction with the music suddenly coming to a halt as he blocks Sander.
Actually the use of Bowie in scenes is chilling (and RUDE-the Robbe-Noor sex scene); it's a good storytelling choice.
I like the changes, but the pacing and lack of a resolution with talking things out/really addressing things make them generally unimpactful so far [Robbe internalized homophobia (& projected homophobia)]
-I actually feel like Noor could've been used more strategically to display the intensified shutting out of his sexuality had they taken the time to properly flesh them out (it definitely showed), but again the pacing, because in some ways I think they needed deeper scenes to develop them, but I wouldn't want too much time dedicated to them that would ultimately take away from the actual love story of the season.
The reimagined convo with Milan worked, because their relationship is different here and it would've been unrealistic had they copied the og dialogue verbatim; also I'm glad they didn't have a copy and paste of "Isak" talking about how he couldn't be "gay" in the world while offending "Eskild"-the advice was a nice change and good the convo didn't end on a bad note.
-edit: I spoke too soon on the offending part. hurts (every time). [also: Milan's "maybe you should look at yourself" and then the clip ends with Robbe looking in the mirror. ok wtFOCK direction]
Glad Robbe broke up with Noor before things got even more complicated and it was actually a pretty well received exchange [up until her obvious shouting in the club scene] compared to other versions in which she gets immediately angry and the "Isaks" don't really break up with her properly face-to-face.
Again with the lack of resolution-srry, but there was no point to the attack in the street on Robbe & Sander. On one hand, it could be useful to be informative, having a purpose in the plot of the season, but it was barely talked about in the aftermath or hinted at being deeper addressed later. I kind of feel like they are just trying to tackle too much with this and there's just not enough time to really address it in an already storyline heavy season. The only good thing that came from it was how caring the apartment crew showed to be w/Zoe, Senne, & Milan (but that's not a shock).
(Skam season with the most trigger warnings award goes to).
I do think the coming out scene to Jens was cute. Very different version with the best friend having a non-reaction that just makes sense with him
May I shove Robbe's friends (minus Jens) into the pool that Robbe & Sander made out in. (God, they are painful to watch)
I like how Sander's manic episode was filmed. It was very pov heavy from Robbe's perspective with flashes of Sander and I feel like the characteristics were a bit different to what you normally see in tv all the time, even by Skam standards, which I found refreshing.
I really don't get why the change of Sander and his gf only dating 6 months if they were still going to have her overstep and be so controlling. It feels unbelievable that his mom and Robbe's friends (Zoe, Jana..) are so receptive to her knowledge on Sander and his illness. And I hate that they're all being so dramatic about Sander's abilities.
They actually resolved things pretty nicely in the last ep-his friends, Sander, Noor (and the additions with his dad the whole season were really sweet; minor note: his poor dad tho when Robbe suddenly left the restaurant with no explanation).
All in all: this season is great in terms of acting, chemistry, production, and direction. However the writing is pretty awful; aside from the obvious missteps, the season messes up when they make changes and fail to follow through (almost undoing the change in the first place) by rerouting back to the original and doing the same just at a different timestamp (It's frustrating to watch and I do really wish they would just commit to those choices, while handling topics with care; I think I would have a very different opinion on the overall season and how it fares next to other remakes in the long run). I suppose, overall that wtFOCK is fun, even with some wrong choices, though the story suffers with a lack of cohesiveness, development sometimes, or focus on what's important (that sounds like everything that matters, lol, but it was enjoyable).
