Fic, interrupted – Fansplaining – Medium

We’ve got a new article out – by Caroline Crampton, examining fanfictional works in progress!

What’s your favorite? What’s the one that hasn’t been updated since 2009 but you just CAN NOT GIVE IT UP?

A cool article about WIPs that is totally worth a read!

My favourite WIP, off-hand (that hasn’t been updated since 2013), is the fatal plunge series by maleficently. An absolutely incredible Swan Queen fic that mostly uses season 1 canon (the part I actually watched), that’s… really hard to describe. In the first fic, post initial curse breaking, Emma and Regina cast a second curse–to give everyone their happy ending. Naturally, things are angsty as heck and wonderful. It’s only the third (and final) installment that’s unfinished. Wherever maleficently is though, I hope she’s doing well and knows her work meant a lot to a lot of people! (Or at least to me!)

As a sidenote, this series also had an amazing playlist by the author at one point, and introduced me to Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto no 2 in C Minor, which… the best way to explain my feelings about this piece of music is that it’s my OTP of concertos and I love all versions of it the same way I love different fics of my OTPs. And the first movement at least is SO well-suited to these two characters.

Anyone else have fav WIPs?

what was the first show y’all broke up with…you know like the first show you had that was your everything for a good amount of time and then it fucked up so bad that like you felt your heart breaking with sadness, disappointment and hurt and then you vowed never to see it again? i’ll start mine was shame/ess

Once Upon A Time. That was pretty early on, actually. Before that I just suffered through shows’ bullshit and kept going, but I couldn’t with this one. There’s still great fic out there though and I am all over that!

First of all, Swen – I have to say you’re all amazing

These drawings have gotten so much attention that my little heart can hardly understand it. Thank you for that. Secondly, some of you may know that I’ve recently opened up a Redbubble shop, so should you want any of these designs on .. well… stuff, now you can have them. 

Again, thanks for being great. ❤

VIVA LA SWEN!
