The Haus 2.0 Crew in a Holiday Decoration War with their sworn enemies (40 y/o Denise and Thomas Williams next door with their obnoxious teenage kids and their stupid 15 feet inflatable snowman that [Holster vc] IS NOT HOA COMPLIANT, AND YOU KNOW IT DENISE!!! I DON'T CARE IF YOUR ENGINEER HUSBAND SET IT UP. WHAT DOES THAT EVEN HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING, IT'S NOT EVEN HOMEMADE WE SAW IT AT COSTCO!)

SMH reunion Snowball fight!!!

Dex and Nursey kissing Chowder's cheeks under the mistletoe (Pls, I'm begging -Mod Atlas)

Your favorite Aces (yep, the two who have actually appeared in the main comic and all of the OC's you've thought up including that one guy who's 3 hockey players, 2 dogs, and one of Parse's cats in a trench coat.

MONPROM HOLIDAY HEADCANONS!

-Vicky: Celebrates Hanukkah, but gladly shows up to whatever parties are going around. You would not believe her sweater game. It is too strong. -Brian: Doesn't really celebrate anything personally, but is down for whatever his friends are doing. Goes for the Chinese buffet with Vicky Christmas afternoon. -Oz: Puts up way too much mistletoe, only gets smooched twice. Still considers it a victory. -Amira: Tries to make gifts. Emphasis on "tries". No offense girl but we all know that arts and crafts is not your strong suit. -Scott: Celebrates with his grandma. Makes ridiculously sugar-overload cookies. It is AMAZINGLY wholesome. -Polly: Can't sleep on Christmas eve, spends all day semi-sober until hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps later in the day. See last bit of Scott's entry. -Vera: Turns her brain off for the day and just relaxes with her sis and fam. Interrupting family time gets you a savage beating at BEST. -Miranda: Refuses to celebrate any holiday involving THE MERKINGDOM'S ETERNAL ENEMY, and instead celebrates Fishmas. Which is exactly the same. But with ritually beating those convicted of treason over the year with sacks full of oranges! -Liam: Buys everyone yaoi `zines that he submitted art to under a psuedonym. Gets mildly depressed when no one praises that one piece directly. -Damien: CATALAN STYLE CHRISTMAS. Expect drunkenness, property damage, and poop. -Calculester: Spends way too much on Steam holiday sales. Regrets nothing. Knits pot cozies for all his plants. -Zoe: Camps out near mistletoe hangings to see her ships sail. -The Coven: Celebrates the Winter Solstice seriously, and celebrates Christmas in the superficial Santa-and-Frosty way. Hope will get you nothing but will critique all your gifts, Faith will lecture you about why you shouldn't give puppies as Christmas gifts (unless you're adopting them from a shelter), and Joy just tries to keep her head above water because everyone else is making everything weird. -Aaravi: Tries and fails to gank Santa for his phat lewt. -Dahlia: The 24/7 Gym is still open. She's good. Also she will totally bring you all Cthulhu Caroling whether you want to or not. -Milo: Busy busy busy! Between lawn darts, schnapps-fueled car accidents, and some kid shooting his eye out, Milo's got STUFF to do. -Stu: Shares The Good Stuff. Wakes up New Year's day. -Noodles: REDACTED by order of the O5 Council.

Hit up my ask box and I will craft bespoke headcanons for you!

i’m also doing round 1 of the haikyuu jukebox fic fest so i’m working on wrapping that fic up to post the week of december 6

and i also have a pwp wip i want to post on kamasaki’s birthday (in 4 days)

most of my goals right now are zine or event-based, but deadlines motivate me and keep me busy!

i tag @kiroiimye @sugaandyams @raincloud10 uhhh anyone who wants to i guess!

[nooowestayandgetcaught]

1-50 plz and thank u 💕💕💕

IM GONNA JUST PICK WHATEVER ONES I WANNA DO

Do you write original stories as well?

I do! I have some on AO3 as well.

What fanfic of yours should everyone have read?

You don’t HAVE to read it but I would love anyone who read:

The Child (M, Thirteen/River Song, Doctor Who, 4.4k)

How do you stay motivated to finish what you’ve started?

Willpower. Spite. A piece of chocolate or something that I promise myself that I can eat as soon as I finish what I’m writing.

What have others criticized about your fanfic?

Messiness. Sentence structure and grammar. Portions of the fic not making sense and I get it. Sometimes I’m rushing and I don’t beta. The only criticism I won’t take is if you don’t like the subject matter because nobody gets to decide what I write. I decide what I write. And I also decide the word count and I lean towards shorter word counts. You wouldn’t believe the amount of whining and complaining I have gotten over the years about me writing short stuff.

Did your work ever get plagiarized?

Yeah actually. People on Wattpad steal my fanfic and post it without my permission. If you see a fic of mine that is clearly not under my username, please come to me and tell me and link me. I’ll take care of it.

Do you partake in any fanfic/writing events? (Big bangs, zines, NaNoWriMo, etc?)

NaNoWriMo is like every month for me. Let’s be honest. I’m in the middle of AO3 fests: "Trick or Treat Exchange 2020″ and “Shipoween 2020″ and “Femdom Exchange 2020″ and “Merlin Holidays 2020″ and “Femslash Exchange 2020″ and “Consent Issues Exchange 2020″ and “Yuletide 2020″ and “Flash With Benefits” and “Holly Poly 2020″ and “HP Holiday Fic Exchange” and “Mistletoe Exchange 2020″ and I signed up for “Holidays!!! on Ice (2020)” and “Merlin (early) Winter Creative Exchange” and a couple of secret santas on Tumblr.

Few long essay reviews or many short reviews?

All reviews are valid. Every single one.

[kiroiimye]

(written for @underthemistletoehqzine !! :D)

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Fandom: Haikyuu!!

Relationship: Semi Eita/Shirabu Kenjirou

Characters: Semi Eita, Shirabu Kenjirou, Washijou Tanji

Additional Tags: Canon Compliant, Christmas Fluff, Introspection, Character Study, Fluff, Strangers to Lovers, strangers to rivals to friends to lovers, Rivals to Lovers, Friends to Lovers, coming home, Pining Shirabu Kenjirou, Under the Mistletoe Zine, Slight Timeskip Manga Spoilers, Pining, Flirting

Summary: 

Kenjirou weighs his options, before he decisively shoots a cheeky smile towards the other. “Keep dreaming, Semi-san.”

It’s hazy gray-green eyes that match Kenjirou’s bronze ones, and a wide, beautiful grin (and it’s that smile that makes warmth burst in his chest, that makes him feel alive and wanted and not lonely).

“Maybe I will.”

[Or: Shirabu Kenjirou finds home in Semi Eita.]

@underthemistletoehqzine

[zine-tsuchako]

Hi, can I know what experience do mods have? I couldn't find that on the mods post.

Certainly! I (mod bluebird) have been a mod for multiple other zines such as Art of Manliness! A Kirishima Zine, SPOP Bi Visibility Zine, and Dangerous Ladies: A Women of Avatar Zine  Mod Rissa has worked on the LGBT ships zine and KNY Mystic Zine Mod Fate has done work for zines like insomnia high and the catradora zine Mod Niahara has been a finance mod for under the mistletoe: a haikyuu zine Mod Pilot has been a mod for MHA mindfulness, Bi Pride Anthology, and MLP Finale Zine Mod Jo doesn’t have prior zine modding experience, but does have experience with independent projects and the art programs that I’m less familiar with! 

Thank you for your ask! If there’s anything else you’re wondering, by all means let us know!
