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?
