idk who needs to hear this but:
-your worth as a writer isn’t based on the hits, kudos, comments, or follows, and just because someone else gets more than you do does not automatically make them a better writer or negate your worth and hard work.
-writers block is a real thing, don’t let anyone tell you that you’re just not putting ass to chair and trying hard enough. be kind to yourself, you can and will come out of it.
-do it for them. do it for the characters who have trusted you with their stories. because they picked you and that means something.
-you’re amazing. your ideas are worth writing. you hold entire worlds inside of you, and your time will come.

Will you be doing this fest again or no?
I haven’t really thought about it. But probably not. Thank you for asking though. And sorry for the late reply.

Something in the way
written by momentofclarity art by the magnificent curleduphl
Main pairing: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson
Rating: Explicit
Chapters: 7/7
Summary:
Then he looks up and is met by the greenest eyes on this side of the state border. Harry Styles grins wildly at him, dimple deep in his cheek as his eyes sparkle.
Hope Floats 90’s AU. When Louis Tomlinson finds out his wife is cheating on him with his best friend, he packs up his life and takes his daughter back to his childhood hometown to start anew. The problem is—he’s not so sure he’s moving forwards rather than backwards. What he finds in the small Texas town is a whole lot of memories, people who think they still know him and a man who’s spent the past decade waiting for his return.

Let Our Hearts Collide by crinkle-eyed-boo (77K, M)
featuring art by @harrehleh, part of @onedirectionbigbang
“Liam is in a coma.” “Yeah, we can see that,” the father says, throwing his hands in the air. “God, this is the most depressing Christmas ever,” the blonde sister mutters. “His vital signs are strong,” Dr. Higgins assures them. “Brain waves are good–” “Brain waves?” the mother wails, taking Liam’s hand in hers. “Oh my God!” “How did this happen?” the father demands. “Um, he was pushed from the platform at the subway station,” Harry pipes up. The entire family turns to look at him, confused. Harry shrinks back, wishing he could have just kept his big mouth shut. “Who’s this?” the father asks, pointing at him. “Um, I’m Harry–” he starts. “He’s Liam’s fiancé!” Jade adds helpfully from where she stands by the door. Every jaw in the room drops, including Harry’s. Oh, shit. Shit shit shit. What?
When Harry, a lonely transit worker, saves the life of the handsome commuter he’s been secretly pining for, an innocent mistake results in Liam Payne’s family believing that Harry is engaged to their son. In the Paynes, Harry finds the big family he’s always longed for…and a love he never saw coming.

There’s Such a Lot of World to See by crinkle-eyed-boo (125K, Explicit) 
“Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Harry asks, thumbing at Louis’ hip. “Like what?” Louis asks breathlessly. “Like you’ve seen a ghost or summat,” Harry muses. “You did it all the time the other day and you did it just now.” Louis swallows hard, studying him intently. “You remind me of someone,” Louis says softly, tucking a curl behind Harry’s ear. “Someone I lost.”
Louis has seen a great many things throughout his travels in time and space, but only one he can’t explain: He keeps meeting the same boy, who says the same thing to him each time. The boy should be impossible.
Maybe he is.
A love story that defies the boundaries of space and time. Doctor Who AU.

Chapters: 6/6 (76k) Fandom: One Direction (Band) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson Characters: Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Anne Cox, Gemma Styles, Harry’s nan, Nev Schulman, Max Joseph, Original Female Character(s), Original Male Character(s) Additional Tags: Catfish AU, Social Media, Pining, Angst, Smut, Masturbation, A Lot Of Masturbation, Sexting, Phone Sex, Anal Fingering, Break Up, harry/original male character, I promise it’s brief, Depression Themes, Very Minor Drug Use, Smoking, Blow Jobs, Anal Sex
About a week after Harry started visiting this particular chat room, he was watching some kid argue with the whole room about football, personally disinterested as he tipped a bag of crisps into his mouth. He happily chomped on the crumbs, taking a swig from a glass of Ribena to wash them down, glancing at the screen and very nearly spat the squash back out again.
His heart was pounding wildly. The display icon of the argumentative newcomer had caught his eye, and not in a good way. He gulped as he clicked the picture, and when it popped up in full resolution, his heart nearly fell right out of his arse.
Sixteen year old Harry Styles’ world turns upside down when he logs on to gay teen chat to discover somebody has stolen his photos and used them as their own.

Popularry Culture is now closed. However...
If you have written a 1D fic based on a movie, song, book, tv show, video game, etc that is based in popular culture, I invite you to add it to the collection that was originally made for this fest. The link to the collection is here. 
This collection is still moderated so fics will have to be approved before they appear in the list but that is only to make sure that only fics that meet the criteria are added to the collection. Please have what your fic is an adaptation of either in the summary or the tags to make this easier. 
Your fic does not have to
Be a Larry Stylinson fic. All pairings are welcome as long as there is at least one member of 1D.
Be new. Old fics are welcome.
Your fic does need to:
Be complete. Please wait and add fics when they’re finished.
The display name for the collection has been changed to be more inclusive.
Tumblr media
If you are adding an old fic to the collection, this is what it will look like for you. :
Tumblr media
These are my favorite kinds of fics and it would be amazing to have them all in one place where they’re easier for people to find. I hope everyone adds theirs!

It’s the Climb (25k) by lululawrence
Louis stretched out his back and turned around, startled to see the most beautiful man he’d ever encountered in his life riding towards him on a horse.
He had to still be asleep. This was one of those super weird dreams people had where the knight in shining armor (or in this case, red sleeveless flannel) literally rode up to them calling their name.
The Hannah Montana AU where Louis is a world famous punk rock singer with a stage name of William and Jay drags him back to Tennessee for the summer. In her attempt for Louis to get back to his roots, he just so happens to reconnect with Harry, and things never go quite as Louis expects them to.

Tell Me Your Secrets (17k) by dimpled_halo
“You!” They both yell in unison.
Niall looks between the two of them. “You know each other?”
Harry scoffs and looks away from Louis Tomlinson to meet Niall’s gaze. “Remember that guy in college I told you about? The one that was at that frat party and drunk as fuck and then I gave him a ride to his dorm but on our way there he decided to pee in an empty cup in my car?”
Niall’s eyes widen and he stares at Louis laughing. “You mean the one who spilled his piss all over you?”
“Hey, that wasn’t my fault. Harry here was being a little priss the entire time and he ran over a speed bump without slowing down and it caused me to make a mess. You also didn’t have to leave me stranded in the middle of the night for something you caused.” Louis snaps back.
Harry rolls his eyes. “Whatever.”
A For a Good Time Call au where Harry and Louis get off on the wrong foot when they first meet. When dire circumstances forces them to become roommates, Harry finds out some things about Louis that he doesn’t expect will help him discover some things about himself.

Summary: An AU based on Ed Sheeran's song "New Man"
Louis is back in town for the first time since he and Harry broke up six months ago. He's not sure what would hurt more, if Harry has moved on or if he's still as torn up as Louis is. He never even considered that Harry would be acting like a completely different person. And maybe he really is as happy as he keeps insisting, but Louis really doesn't think so.
~*~*~*~
“Who are you and what have you done to Harry Styles?”
It sounds corny as fuck, and Harry bursts into laughter, but Louis means it. He barely recognizes Harry, every word out of his mouth sounding like it belongs to someone else. This isn’t him. This isn’t him at all.
“I’m the same person,” Harry says with a shrug. “I just get what I want now. And tonight, that means you.”
"This just isn't you,” Louis says, shaking his head. “This isn’t the Harry I lo – the Harry I knew at all.”
Harry stares at him for a long moment. “Maybe you didn’t know me as well as you thought,” he says at last.
