for monday's challenge famous steve x regular guy eddie, I would like to nominate Online, Offline (Out of My Mind) by LexiRoseWrites. I was still somewhat new to omegaverse fics when I read this, but very quickly became obsessed especially with the neat way it influenced so many aspects of Steve's life and career. I really loved Steve and Eddie's courtship through the anonymity of online dating, and the way it allowed Steve to find love despite his fame(but of course there are some sweet complications and angst along the way) I'm glad this challenge reminded me of this fic, bc I'm definitely re-reading this soon💜💜💜

ST Events Updates - May Recap

This is a recap with a link to each page with the events that I know!

As always feel free to reblog and add events I might have missed!

Steddie Events - May Update Harringrove Events - May Update Other events: General, Rare Pairs, Character Centered Events - May Update

This time I have four shout out.

One for my beloved @feedthefandomfest that gives us some funny bingo cards to fill by commenting on fics!

One for @steddieunderdogfics that every week promotes new fics and new authors. I know that's not exactly an event but they need our help and support to find new fics for their challanges so keep an eye on their page.

A big shout out for @harringrove-cafe that every weekend delivers incredible drinks and sweets! All you have to do is fill their form (it can be anonymous) and send a treat to the blog that you want!

And another one for Sapphic Delights that's very similar to the Harringrove Café and that's on Twitter!

And that's all for today! As always a big THANK YOU to all the people behind each one of this event!

final fic rec of 2023

BUT INSTEAD.

I have loved doing weekly fic recs for everyone and will continue to do it every Thursday, but for the last Thursday of 2023, I wanna take this time to give everyone the opportunity to reblog this post with YOUR fic recs!

If you'd prefer to give love to a fic in another way, follow @steddieunderdogfics and send them in! There are so many fun challenges coming up with that blog and the mod is working sooooo hard to make sure we have plenty of content every single day.

As a reminder, writers and artists in fandom are doing things they want to do for free. While it is fun, sometimes people really suck. Show them love and appreciation as often as you can, especially when you really enjoyed something they put time into creating! Like, reblog, kudos, comment, send them a nice message! I promise it will make their day to hear from you 💖

Also a note about being kind to mods running blogs, especially those with writing or art challenges. It takes a lot to run a blog, especially when doing it by yourself, and it's done to add something fun to the fandom. The more time mods spend dealing with rude comments and messages, the less time they spend providing fun, and at a certain point, it becomes not fun at all and then everyone loses out on something that was meant to be exciting. If you don't like the rules, don't participate. It's that simple.

Stay tuned for some amazing things in 2024!

[st-loveconfessions]

@steddieunderdogfics puts a lot of effort into making sure lesser known fics and authors are seen all the time and it helps everyone feel so included in the steddie fandom

Heather

I got so burnt out over the holidays, the socialising and family obligations overwhelmed my boundaries, self-care, and need for a schedule - so I haven't really been able to work on anything creative for a little while.

I'd started writing this a little while ago after seeing @steddieunderdogfics' January Calendar had the Hanahaki theme for 1/13. I've not really read many Hanahaki stories before, but I wanted to give it a go! So here we are!

I was listening to Heather by Conan Gray when it dawned on me that it is also the name of a flowering shrub native to Scotland, so it's another Emito Steddie Songfic, too!

It's a 10k word, one-shot, find it here on my Ao3.

Steve manages to save Eddie from the Upside Down, but as they wait for him to wake up Steve gets sicker and sicker, coughing up tiny, brightly coloured flowers.

Hope you like it 💚

[thefreakandthehair]

first of all i adore everything you post and im, probably constantly in your notifs lol

i'm hoping you'd be able to give me some fic recs? i miss reading steddie, but my reading comprehension tanked this past year or so. so i can only read one shots or completed fics that arent that many chapters. and i feel like i dont have a lot of luck just scrollin g their aos tag

anything you'd recommend? im not really into slice of life/lighthearted stuff, i want the intensity baby.

ty in advanced sorry if this is annoying lol

you're very, very kind, thank you so much!! I'm happy to suggest some steddie recs! this is hard because there are so many fics I've read recently that I just love and I'm positive I'm gonna miss some, so this is by no means an all-inclusive list. (I also asked a few friends for their recs because I'm a little bit of a wimp, so the definition of "intensity" may vary 🥰)

if you have others, feel free to comment them for our lovely anon!

Saltwater Prayer, by Asgardian_Pirate (disclaimer: it's tagged as domestic because it is in many ways, but in a sort of "nostalgia is intertwining with the present and what do I do with that???" sort of way, if that makes sense? there's so many layers to this one and I could go on and on for ages about it.)

Among the Wildflowers, by ParadimeShifts (another disclaimer: this one is sort of slice-of-life and tagged as such, but there's an emotional intensity to it that gripped me in a way that's never let me go. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I read it, and I can't recommend it enough!)

In A Mirrored Room, Talking To Myself, by entanglednow

scheming on a thing, by greatunironic

Destroy the Silence (Drummer Steve), by ArtaxLivs

‘cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run, by stellarpoint (pettifogger)

Heart On Your Sleeve, by brbsoulnomming

searching for the elephant, by Adure

to live my own way, by Macellarius

Idle Hands (With Time to Kill), by teddywesworl

a special privilege for the resurrected, by theopteryx

i've been having a horrible time pulling myself together, by deadratz (disclaimer: this one is a little longer and has more chapters, but it's just too good for me to not list here. it's from 2022 so there's a chance you've already read it, but it was one of the first steddie fics I read and I just loved it! also by the same author, bereft in deathly bloom had me texting @sporecircles at like, two in the morning sobbing)

so what if right now everything's wrong? by Civil_Hearing

how to wake a dead boy., by sleepingoffyourdemons

memoria (come as you are), by emryses

I will stay one night beside you, never go back to the sea (I will stay and be thy husband though it be the death of me) and also My wounds cry for the grave (My soul cries for deliverance), both by mywarisalreadywon

you can also check out @steddieunderdogfics, I've found some great fics from those recs!

Monthly Word Count Wrap-Up

November 2024

One more down, one month to go.

November was a little rough. A lot of my will to write was knocked back, and that has really shown in the numbers. I worked on 5 different projects this month, for a total of 21,689 words. (Steddie Thoughts is my dumping ground for words that exist, but won't turn into anything.)

My 500 words a day streak is still being dragged along behind me by sheer force of will alone at this point, lol. I let myself get behind schedule on my entries for @steddieholidaydrabbles which started today. Go check it out to participate and/or follow along with the entries! I know there will be lots of good stuff coming from many amazing contributors this month.

That said, you can see that's where I spent the majority of my time this month, working on the prompts for it, just trying to get even slightly ahead of the curve:

In November, I averaged 722.97 words a day.

And the yearly average, now sits at 1024.87 words per day.

I was nominated for a Writer's Spotlight over on @steddieunderdogfics and my day was 11/6. Thanks so much for including me! It made my day, and it was so much fun to answer the questions.

If you'd like to read my answers about my writing process and/or fics, you can check that out HERE.

What I Posted This Month:

There's Just One Who Could Make Me Stay (For Steddie Micro, T, 532)

Men Are All Lining Up, to Put Me on a Pedestal (Corroded Coffin Fest, E, 8160)

[ladykailitha]

Saw you featured on Steddieunderdogfics!! Very proud of you!!!! Congratulations 🎉👏👏👏👏👏🎉 Everyone should go check out your feature over there!!!

You mentioned the Stripper and Olympics AUs as your current favorites, so, author's choice of one of those please?

I'm going for Olympic with this one, because we are getting to the meat of the plot now. This is where it starts to get to good stuff and I can't wait for you to see it.

WIP Wednesday! Make me write!

Other asks here, here.

Snippet

Steve let out a laugh. “Miss getting soaked to the skin every Saturday? Not a chance in hell.”

Eddie smiled and then chewed his lip for a moment. He had been thinking about getting to use the pool every week for three months and how that was ending now. He had been thinking about how much he would miss everyone, but especially Steve.

“You’ve seen me swim for a few weeks now,” he hedged, “do you really think I’ve got a chance at the Olympics?”

Steve turned to him in shock. Eyes wide and jaw on the floor. “Fuck, Eds, given training I think you could outswim me.”

[steddieunderdogfics]

For the inspired by another fic Challenge Monday, I'd like to suggest 'Chase the Ace' by SuiteJayne, which is inspired by peevee's 'Seems to Satisfy'

Summary:

“I can’t like… get hard. At all. Since, uhhh -” he trailed off awkwardly. There was silence, for a second. Steve’s fingers dug into his thighs. “You… what?” said Eddie, finally.

Thanks for the recs!

Fic rec blogs and the ao3 bot! I’m tagging the fic rec blogs I’ve been using for any steddie readers looking for new fics

@steddie-fanfic-recs @steddieunderdogfics @ao3feed-steve-eddie

Okay I have a follow up question from a poll I started today, which is tied into the concept of fic discoverability.

I would be fascinated to know how you normally find fics to read, and your reasoning about it, if any. Has your behaviour changed over time? What fandom are you in?

[steddieunderdogfics]

KINK DISCOVERY

When you submit your fic recommendations, make you sure you add a note saying the theme in some way!
