Your Facets Delight Me

I did a thing for @ocinsertevents's take your OC to work day! It also fills @twbingo's Day in the Life prompt, and even though I wrote it on a very short note (bc I forgot that take your OC to work day was today) I still really like it!

Summary: Peter takes Stiles to a bookstore in Germany, to meet old friends.

Take Your OC to Work Day 2024

Event Date: May 5th, 2024

What is It?

Take Your OC to Work Day is a one-day multifandom mini-event focused on creating OC-insert fanworks for your OCs!

What's an OC?

An OC is an original character created by an author or artist who isn’t taken from a canon piece of media. An OC-insert fanwork is therefore any fanwork that introduces at least one OC into a fandom of your choosing. For the purpose of this event, your OC(s) should be the main focus or at least part of the main cast.

Rules:

It’s pretty simple— 1) bring along an OC (old or new), 2) pick a fandom, 3) stir well! So long as the OC is one you created, they can appear in any way you want (ie. as a separate original character, transmigrated into the body of a canon character, etc.).

Posting:

You can post any time on May 5th in any time zone. We will reblog with the link to an AO3 collection closer to that date. You can also make a tumblr post for your work, tag it #TakeYourOCtoWorkDay2024 or ping @ocinsertevents, and we will reblog it here.
