7 and 75 for the ask game you reblogged :)

7. tell us about the plot of the first fanfic you ever wrote?

It’s literally just a TVD crack fic of Stelena (Stefan & Elena) fangirling over Bamon (Damon & Bonnie) 😂😂

75. do you know how your story ends before you start writing?

Rarely lol. I know basic details, but like how their lives will have to be? I have to actually think about that and imagine it lol.

Do you have any Jackie x Hyde fanfic recommendations?!!

Always, always, always! There's so much talent in this fandom, and I'd love to highlight a few of my absolute all-time favorites. I'm primarily on AO3, so these recommendations will definitely skew more toward work posted there; if y'all have any recs on other sites, feel free to let me know!

multi-chapter fics

Hyde's Long Way Home by @those70scomics

This is probably the one I reread the most, tied with the same creator's One Difference: Jackie and Hyde Don't Kiss (During the Summer), primarily because I just absolutely adore their writing and the way they so effortlessly write Jackie and Hyde, both as individuals and as a couple. It definitely helps that the story is set right at the start of the Chicago debacle, meaning there's canon divergence, and thank god for that; I'm a staunch season-eight denier. I'm also a sucker for a good groundhog day situation, and this work scratches that itch and then some. This one's definitely a lot heavier than some other fics I love—hence the mature rating—but it's oh-so worth it.

The Queen Of All My Dreams by @springsteenicious

Fantasy isn't normally a genre I consider when looking at Jackie/Hyde fanfiction, but this fic is wholly worth diving into a different genre, especially since it does the genre justice. The story begins a few days after Chicago and features a whole lot of magic and adventure, giving it a Lord of the Rings feel, minus the stuffiness of typical fantasy stories. The gang still very much feels like the gang, and everyone's character progression feels natural and not at all outlandish or forced, which many fix-it stories (can this be considered a fix-it? Maybe for season 7?) tend to struggle with.

Miracle by B_August (I don't know if they're on tumblr, but if they are, PLEASE send me their blog so I can follow it!)

Good lord, where to begin with this one? As you've probably guessed if you've read any of the stuff I've put out, I've got a soft spot for strong!Jackie, and an even softer spot for Jackie with powers. Miracle has absolutely all of that. It also features an incredibly sweet Steven Hyde, a surprisingly attentive Jack Burkhart, and my absolute favorite, the effervescent Buddy Morgan. It is a little out of character at times, sure, but the characterization makes sense for the point of the story in which things start changing, as well as the changed circumstances around the lives of the gang. There's also the added bonus of many, many DC references (a welcome side-effect of being a Superman story of sorts). I highly, HIGHLY recommend it!! (There's also a sequel that is currently being updated that you can find here.) Let B_August know I say hi if you check out their work :)

Of All Things Creepy & Unnatural by CaedenceLaura

This one's over on fanfiction.net! It explores how the Jackie/Hyde dynamic might have evolved differently had the rest of the gang not learned of their relationship sooner. Personally, I really enjoyed the secret relationship aspect of this fic, and though they do get found out eventually, it's nice to see how having that extra time to themselves might've strengthened their bond. This fic isn't complete, but still worth a read!

Steven Who? by kezztip

This is another one that I reread quite frequently. There are few fics on this list that genuinely make me laugh out loud several times per read-through, but this one never fails to get me chuckling. The premise is just... I almost don't even want to say anything, just so you can read it for yourself. Going in blind might be the way with this one.

Heart Like Yours by @jacquelineshyde

Something in me is really drawn to the concept of Hyde realizing just how much he cares for Jackie a little too late. In most fics, the "little too late" aspect of that typically means that Jackie's moved on to some other guy or something like that; that's still relevant in this one, but she's also straight up in a coma, and to me that makes the despair of the situation all that tastier. Add to that some good ol' out-of-body action, and, well, you've got yourself a fun little If I Stay spin on our T7S universe.

one-shots

sighs in my sleep by @madroxed

This was the first ever fic I read in the fandom, believe it or not, and something about it was just so captivating to me that it kept me in a fandom clickhole for about two months. TW for mentions of an eating disorder (it's a throwaway line in the second half, but it did give me pause when I read it) and pregnancy, if that's something you're very much not into.

Moth Drawn to Light by @rosalinesbenvolio

Screaming, crying. There's something So Good about Hyde with baby fever... I genuinely don't even have any more words to explain it. So good, so so cute. Read now!

--

I feel like there are so many more that I'm missing, so maybe I'll make a part two at some point if it's requested. For now, though, these are my main loves in this fandom. I also read fics in other fandoms: Stranger Things, Harry Potter, Twilight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and truly too many more. I'm always happy to talk fanfiction, whether about any of those fandoms or just in general!

[that70sshowgoldencouple]

Thanks for your input @springsteenicious ! Lol you are one of the rare and few of the Randy fans. Don't worry I'm one of the rare and few that enjoy season 8...well, the Red and Kitty parts!

So I will definitely be sharing the Red/Kitty stuff as well as scenes with them and other characters. Some of the bits are fun reads some of them...well, I'm glad they didn't make it into the episode lol

Anyone else have thoughts on me sharing nonRK deleted stuff from S8? There's a Hyde and Kelso bit where they talk about Jackie...share it or just let it stay deleted and forgotten?

Thoughts, send them here

[that70sbitchsstuff]

So wanted to come up with a little game for everyone and here it is.

Come up with the WORST T7s pairing possible, the catch is they cannot be incestuous and the don't actually have to be in the show.

Here are my top three..

1~ Hyde x Kelso

Do I really need to explain why they'd NEVER work, Kelso would cheat a fuck ton (obviously) and I can't even think of Hyde reactions to that, also Kelso is far to self centered to help Hyde with his issues and past trauma or even making him feel loved and I just can't imagine Hyde being involved in the 'Relationship' I can't even imagine him hugging Kelso let alone do it with him 🤮

2~ Jackie x Red

No no just no if you actually ship this.....please never contact me🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

3~ Donna x Fez

God where do I begin, season 1-4 Fez is actually a pretty alright guy if not a bit sexist and gullible and 1-3 Donna is pretty chill, so maybe there could be something but that's an extremely light maybe, this is only going off the season 3 episode Fez dates Donna I thought they where pretty cute but S5-S8 Donna and Fez are NOT compatible in any way, to put it simply Donna would murder him bring him back from the dead then kill him again because Fez turns into such a perverted creepy in later seasons and he would go against everything Donna stands for.

4~ Jackie and Hyde x anyone other than eachother

I pick @zeppelin-and-unicorns, @queenbookbuff, @mydearburkhart, @crimsinsky, @springsteenicious, @kim1918 and @scaponigifs💗💖

Of course anyone can join if you want 😉

[thestupidhelmet]

Totally agree with @springsteenicious.

so when do you guys think jackie and hyde started liking each other? im especially interested since last time i remember everyone voting hyde liked her first

[springsteenicious]

lesbian Eric/Donna, as promised! with some side Jackie/Hyde, of course. enjoy!

Happy New Year!

2021 was a tough one for all of us, I think, for a variety of reasons. Without you -- and I mean my long-time friends, new friends I’ve made, people I’ve had fun interactions with, and the followers of @those70scomics, @thestupidhelmet, and @jackiestargazer -- this year would’ve been even tougher for me, so thank you from the depths of my heart. 🤗

Here’s hoping 2022 brings better things for us all, and some a lot of specific shout-outs to:

I second @springsteenicious​‘s advice about never putting, I suck at summaries, into a fanfic summary and his reasons why not to do it.

Another way to craft summaries is to tell us who protagonists are, what the main conflict is and / or what the stakes are for the protagonists, and a specific detail or two about the character(s) and/or plot. Basically, you want readers to ask themselves, “I wonder how that will play out?”

Here’s an example of a simple summary (for One Difference: The Answer’s Probably Yes):

In a desperate act, Hyde seeks advice from Jackie, a girl who thinks he's scum. He's not fond of her either, but she makes him a crazy yet strangely-appealing offer.

The following is a summary that gives more details about the plot without spoiling the story (for Mistaken Messages):

Jackie longs for her soulmate to accept her, and Hyde hopes his will leave him alone because he's in love with someone else. A stack of mystical index cards lets them communicate with their as-yet unidentified soulmates. But the more their soulmates write, the less control Jackie and Hyde seem to have over their fate.

I saw that you said you suck at summaries, so I thought I'd give you some advice if you're interested!

When I make summaries for my stories, I start with 1-3 sentences of just basic details. Sentences that just set the scene, the time, the basic situation. I'll use TQOAMD as an example. The first 2 sentences are: Four days after Chicago, Jackie is missing. Thanks to a dream that Eric has, they know where to find her.

That tells you the basic plot of the story. Then I usually ask a question, which makes readers want to see the question get answered. TQOAMD: Through dragons, magic dreams and missed connections, will Hyde be able to return to Jackie?

And one last pro tip (after writing fics for nearly five years): Never say in the summary that you suck at summaries. It discourages readers and doesn't give them much hope for the story if the writer thinks they can't even summarize it. You have to go in with self-confidence, even if you don't have that. But you should, because you're a great writer and you can totally do summaries, it's just hard sometimes. :D

Thank you so much, really <3!! This will help me out a lot! I'm trying to come up with a good summary for RYLH for sooooo long now, and these tips might actually help me come up with something.

Again, thank you <3

My deep dive, Hyde and Becca. At least it's better than a deep dive, Jackie and Becca...

Dedicated to @springsteenicious, for numerous reasons. As the World Burns, 2002, with a heaping dose of angst. As Becca enters the room with purpose, Steven Hyde leans back, expecting the usual. Some menial teenaged drama. But instead, she comes to him, opening her heart, mind, and soul. Sitting down next to him, ever so close, she reveals one of her deepest secrets. "Dad, I think I'm bi." Holy fucking shit. For her to say it out loud is revolutionary. "Okay." But his response doesn't satisfy her, as a notable frown is etched on her lips. "That's it? Okay?" He shrugs, as zen continues to fail him. "I'm just tryin' to process it." "Did you not expect it?" But his emotions are beginning to spill, all over the living room rug. "I kinda expected it. You look at Lindsay Lohan the same way you look at Leonardo DiCaprio." "With burning desire and passion?" He understands her feelings from afar, but personally? He can't relate. He's never been attracted to a man in his life. Not even remotely. "Exactly." "And Lindsay Lohan kinda looks like..." A realization truly dawns on him, solidifying the feeling lingering in his gut. "Kate." After a moment of awkward silence, Becca reluctantly muses. "But she's straight as an arrow, and she doesn't feel the same way. She says we're like sisters." Unrequited love, also known as personal hell. "You gotta respect that, Beck." Tears finally begin to fall, as she pulls her father close. Into a strong, formidable bear hug. "I know, but it still hurts." And as he comforts his daughter, he wishes he could make the pain go away. He wishes the world would accept her, and not dismiss her as indecisive. And embrace her, for who she is. Instead of who she's not.

[that70sshowgoldencouple]

Thank you @springsteenicious ! I’m so happy to hear you liked the sneak peek 💛

Aw sorry @queenbookbuff didn’t mean to make you cry. Hopefully it won’t happen too often in this fic. It’s definitely more serious than my usual fluffy stuff but there’s still fluff and plenty of romance and comfort.

Thanks so much for the comments and support!

THIS IS SO GOOD OMG.

Summary: Four days after Chicago, Jackie is missing. Thanks to a dream that Eric has, they know where to find her. But the journey will not be as easy as they think. Through dragons, magic dreams and missed connections, will Hyde be able to return to Jackie?

(A/N: It is recommended that you listen to the song before each chapter for the best experience, but you don’t have to. I will include the relevant lyrics at the beginning. However, these songs are all really great and listening will give you a good idea for the vibe of each chapter.)

No deadlines yet, but I’d like to know where you are in the writing process for your ZMA story. That’ll give me a better idea when to set the writing and art check-over deadline -- meaning, authors and artists (with their stock art sources, where applicable) submit their work to me so I can make sure it follows the ZMA rules.

Have you written an outline yet? A first draft? Etc. Please contact me via a ZMA ask or our private chats @those70scomics and @thestupidhelmet.

Thank you!

As for me, I’ve finished my outline-first-draft hybrid. I’ve got to work on the next batch of Those ‘70s Comics, though, so I’ll be writing the second draft of my story in between that and afterward.
