The fics of the February flashfic challenge: a round-up!

Yesterday we had the MFMM flashfic challenge, and whoah – what a wonderful response we had! 

No less than 30 fics were written during that one day, and this is a new record for an MFMM flashfic event! 17 writers participated, and more than one of them wrote either their first MFMM fanfic, or their first flashfic – so extra kudos to you for diving in!

Two writers managed to write for all four time slots, which is a first for the flashfic challenge! We are very impressed, @galadriel1010 and Piratesandpixiedust! And the latter even wrote a series of four fics that all go together.

All in all, 22 prompts were used over the heats. Most popular, resulting in three fics, was the tag combination “Shouldn't you be sleeping? // an unexpected guest // snarky Mac”.

Those are the stats. Excellent work, all – we swear that the blood, sweat, and tears were visible across all time zones of the world!

Below is a round-up of all the fics, to make them easier to dive into and enjoy. And when you read, please consider writing a flash comment if you have the time!

Have fun!

Two souls

Like the stars, we come out at night. gleaming smiles full of light, we dance around under stars and I think to myself how lucky we are, two souls so close in proximity and as happy as can be. A love so life full and glee, had a dark side. Weary and cold like the rings of Saturn, that love that we had followed a distinct pattern. We bitter and bark at each other, spewing words of toxin. Back and forth we go, more and more until we explode. We tell each other we need a break but that deal had sealed our fate. On with our life’s we go, but our memories will sit until we forget what made us so mad and then we’d dive head first back into the bad.

A B and H for the fic asks!

A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?

I have a particular soft spot for In the City Where the Sun Don't Set and it's sequels, but I am loving What a Difference a Day Makes. (And I PROMISE. I'm updating it soon!)

B:  What was the first fandom you read fic in?  Which was the first you wrote fic for?

I am like, 99% sure that it was for Newsies (both musical and film) and the first fanfic is for that as well. It's not up anymore, but I'm SURE that I can find it.

H: How would you describe your writing style?

Short and to the point I guess! I do write a LOT of backstories so

send me an ask!

[thereadersmuse]

I just want to say I am L I V I N G for your commentaries on each episode

I am heavily enjoying myself tbh. This is such a fun, light show but also very sexually charged and I am like- feelin’ myself with the ust. The whole cast is spectacular and I love that is is essentially condensing into a found family unit immediately. 

[leliesblou]

🥺🌼💕 get to know your mutuals!! when you get this, it means someone wants to know more about you, so list 5 things about yourself you want your followers to know. they can be as simple as your age or as complex as your deepest fear, as long as it’s something you’re comfortable with sharing. when you’re done, send this to 10 people you want to get to know better!! 🥺🌼💕

Thank you! 🤗

Midnight and Museum for the asks?

Midnight:  what is your favourite time of day?

Late at night.  As in, really the wee hours of the morning.  Although now I’m terribly old and get, like, Actually Tired and stuff.  Dashed inconvenient ;-)

Museum:  have you ever been out of the country?  To where?

Yes!  I did a couple of stints in the UK (one in England, one in Scotland), and thence did several jaunts to mainland Europe and Scandinavia.  Technically, I suppose, I can also claim the places I had to change planes on the way - Australia, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong - but it was never for more than a night.

Listening to a podcast today made me wonder, what does qualify as trust? Should trust be complete/absolute to be real? #wonderingmind …………. پادکستی که امروز گوش می دادم باعث شد برام این سوال پیش بیاد که اعتماد دقیقا به چه معناست؟ برای اینکه اعتماد واقعی باشه باید تمام و کمال هم باشه؟ (at Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTAUCfxq_La/?utm_medium=tumblr

[theartofbeinganerd]

Just wanted to say thank you for the contributions you make to the fandom and for the high quality fluff you produce for us :D

Awww thank you so much!! It’s honestly been my pleasure to answer so many prompts lately and to be writing as much as I have been - and of course, I definitely don’t mind supplying the fandom with a heaping helping of fluff! But truthfully, it’s seeing how much everyone is enjoying all of my fics that really keeps me coming back and writing more and more, so I mean it, thank you so much!!! :D

So, what do you do between consciousness and sleep?

[historymaiden]

28, 33, 35 for the writers ask if you would be so kind!

28. How well do you handle criticism when it comes to fic? 

Okay??? Like don’t be super mean and I’ll be Gucci. 

33. Is there anything you wish your audience knew about your writing or writing process?  Definitely that I’m putting my college degree to good use with the research portion of it. 

35. Ramble about any fic related thing you want! 

Okay so there’s this site called https://martinturnbull.com and it’s an author’s website, but he writes book about Los Angeles from late 1920s to 1960s. I haven’t read his books YET, (I have the first book) but his site??? Everything you ever needed to know about Los Angeles. He has a couple of things, so different tabs for Places in LA, a vague Timeline for LA during that time, but his real gem is his Photo Blog. I’ve seen everything from a Brown Derby menu from 1949, to moving LA High School building circa 1887. Legit, if you ever needed to know about something in LA there’s your source.
