What happens when im too busy to make a proper meal so I just throw anything edible on a plate and call it a day

[tiredeg]

GUYS. Would you believe.

Flightless Birds, the last (thus far, and likely to remain) installment of the All Caps series, turns five years old today.

Five! Years Old!

Time isn't real. Anyway!

If you're looking for some romance this Valentine's Day, maybe give this series a spin. It's a testament to The Power Of Love! And also, according to one intrepid reader, to the power of boys validating each other’s dicks and feelings.

All Caps (Tom Wilson/Nic Dowd. 39K. Explicit. Angst with a Happy Ending, but make it extra porny)

(aka the one where Tom Wilson has a micropenis)

THAT TROPE YOU HATE FEST 2025

☞ AO3 COLLECTION ☞ ROUND ONE FIC POST ☞ INSPO TAG ☞ FAQ TAG ☞ DISCORD

You know that trope you hate (or just don’t get)? How would you write it if you had to?

INFO & TIMELINE UNDER THE CUT ☟

WHAT IS THIS FEST ALL ABOUT?

This fest was designed to challenge F1 RPF writers and artists (18 or older, please!) to create something using a trope they hate (or just one they never thought about using!). Inspired by this poll, if you had to create something using a trope you don’t normally engage with, how would you do it? What ‘slow burn with miscommunication’ would compel you? What would have to be going on at that coffee shop for you to be interested?

DOES IT HAVE TO BE A TROPE? CAN IT BE A PAIRING OR A KINK?

Yes, it can also be a pairing or a kink that you hate! As long as it’s some element that you haven’t or normally wouldn’t write about. It can also be a type of fic (multimedia! second person POV!).

(This is the honor system, we won’t be reviewing your AO3 or your heart of hearts to make sure you haven’t written it before or really hate it!)

HOW DOES PROMPTING WORK?

Anyone can leave a prompt with a trope/kink/pairing, but you don’t have to claim a prompt to participate — you can do your own thing and then post to the AO3 collection when it’s time!

For prompts, please just keep it positive/generative! You can post the trope alone or offer suggestions about how to put a spin on it (e.g. “high school AU” or “high school AU but one of them is an adult undercover a la Never Been Kissed”), but please don’t bash the trope/pairing or focus too much on what you don’t like about it (e.g. “toxic threesome - so sick of this being the only thing @officialmood writes 🙄”).

ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT KIND OF CONTENT I CAN CREATE?

As long as it’s generally within Formula 1 RPF fandom and tagged appropriately on AO3, anything goes! Fic, art, zines, moodboards, gifs, edits, playlists, and meta are all welcome!

Please archive-lock any work on AO3!

DO I HAVE TO POST TO AO3?

No! If you’d prefer, you can also post on tumblr. Just be sure to tag @thattropeyouhate!

WHEN IS MY FIC/ART DUE?

Prompting and sign-up opens TODAY, February 14. Completed works will be due on May 1 by 2 pm UTC.

HOW DO I POST TO THE COLLECTION?

Instructions are here!

WHAT IF I DON'T FINISH IN TIME?

That’s fine! No worries if you need to drop out or need an extension.

WHAT IF I'M STILL CONFUSED?

Send us an ask or a message @officialmood or @powerful-owl with any other questions!
