Hello 🤍 It is finally time to start writing! Author Sign-Ups are now open!

Author Sign-Ups will remain open from October 31st to November 30th.

❃ All pairings, kinks and tropes are welcome, but fics must center around Harry in a maternal role.

❃ The minimum word count is 2,000 and there is no maximum.

❃ This fest is not anonymous, which means two things: 1. you are allowed to post snippets or teasers of your work (tag us!), and 2. your fic has to be posted from a public AO3 account.

❃ Fics will be due on April 29th. They need to be completed when added to the AO3 collection. Moreover, they should be appropriately tagged, as we will not be moderating content.

You can choose to sign up with your own prompt or pick your favourites from our submitted prompts.

"Signs of Love" by Broke_Art_Girl

🌶️spice below ;)🌶️

Fandom: Stranger Things

Summary: Hawkins high starts teaching sign language and Steve Harrington doesn't get why. That is until Steve Harrington meets Eddie Munson, the new deaf student.

Words: 300+

Characters: Steve Harrington, The party, Eddie Munson.

AO3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/54962152

Steve was very confused why Hawkins decided to start teaching sign language, but when he heard there would be a deaf student coming to town, it made a lot more sense. He didn't know who it would be and didn't know for a long time. Nobody seemed to know.

The benefit of Eddie coming to school at the begining of 10th grade was that there were a couple other new kids from other schools plus he didn't miss anything from earlier in the year.

Eddie, Dustin, Mike, Max, and Lucus become great friends immediately because the party used to have a deaf friend Will Byers who moved away, so they were extremely practiced with sign language. Plus El wasnt exactly verbal the first couple months she lived with Mike.

But then Steve met Eddie. And boy oh boy did sparks fly

Eddie ended up telling Mike how cute he thought Steve was so Mike mentioned it to him and watched him turn fire truck red.

Dating a deaf guy isn't like anything Steve has ever done.

Dating anyone isn't something Eddie has ever done

When Steve hears (or well sees) Eddie tell him how he got the nickname "freak" he feels like punching everyone who ever went to his old highschool.

🌶️

Intimate time is a little odd for them. Eddie can't hear himself or how loud he's being so Steve keeps covering his mouth, telling him to shut up.

The first time Eddie puts his hand on Steve's throat, he thinks Eddie has a thing for choking, but it turns out he just wanted to see what makes Steve feel good. Feel how he moans or groans. Missionary seems to be the best for them for a while before they learn eachother's body's.

Steve is there the months after Eddie gets his cochlear implant. And by God does he revel in the blush Eddie has after he hears his first lewd moan at Steve's touch.

Sign-Ups Are Open

You can find the sign-up sheet for authors here!

You can find the sign-up sheet for artists here!

You can find the sign-up sheet for beta-readers and pinch hitters here!

Sign up for all roles that you are interested in. If you want to be both an author and an artist, that means you'll need to fill out both the author sign-up sheet and the artist sign-up sheet.

After you sign-up, one of the moderators will contact you and provide a link to the Discord server. (If you don't receive a link within one week of signing up, contact the mods. You can find mod contact information in the FAQ.)

Check the schedule for when sign-ups close. Artist sign-ups will stay open longer than author sign-ups, and the beta-reader and pinch hitter sign-up stays open until very near the end of the event.

kit to kit this entire evening: yeah the obikin big bang sign ups are open and you've always wanted to participate in a big bang but also could you really actually genuinely be quiet about a fic you're writing or an idea you have for like...even a week. even a day. an hour. no.

Are you going to be reading House of Flame and Shadow, if only to keep up with what’s happening in ACOTAR now that there's a crossover?

No I’m much more interested in reading this:

you ever have a fic get you in such a chokehold you start pacing your room and talking to yourself

Martha Wells and John Scalzi at Joseph-Beth Booksellers!!

Y’all GUESS WHO I GOT TO SEE!!! In real life!! With my own two eyeballs!!!

It was an absolutely delightful chat (I took two pages of notes! scribbled in All My Margins!), very cozy, AND neither of them had signing limits! I love hearing authors talk about their Authorial Woes and Process Quirks, because it’s always hugely validating and just neat to hear.

i'm going to be real with you guys for a moment. i don't think i'll continue following bsd much after this point

Favourite sineala fanfic

🔫🔪🔫🔪🔫🔪cruel and unusual to try and make me pick just one so here's five six (in no particular order)

Mercy in You

When Tony comes back from a very bad D/s date, in pain and abandoned by his dom, Steve offers to help Tony out and give him all the aftercare he so desperately needs.

How to Date a Robot

How do you date a robot? Even the twenty-first century doesn't have the answers to every question. Steve will have to figure this one out for himself -- after he politely rebuffs Mr. Stark's interest, of course. Sure, Mr. Stark is handsome, but Steve would rather be with his bodyguard. So when Iron Man agrees to go on a date with Steve, Steve couldn't be happier. He loves Iron Man with all of his heart, and their relationship rapidly grows serious. But why does Mr. Stark hate Iron Man so much? And why in the world is Mr. Stark trying to tear Steve and Iron Man apart?

Not So Secret Anymore

When Steve's laptop isn't working right, Tony offers to fix it for him, and he quickly discovers the problem: computer viruses. He also discovers a fairly large amount of porn. Gay porn. But that can't be Steve's gay porn, surely. Captain America doesn't have hundreds of gigabytes of gay porn. A virus must have put it there. Clearly the best thing to do is to delete all of this gay porn that doesn't belong on Steve's computer and then they'll never have to have a conversation about it and Steve will definitely never find out about the massive crush Tony has on him. Good idea. This plan is perfect. Right up until Tony gets an email from Steve, asking if he could please have his collection of homosexual pornography back now.

Never Too Late for Love

Steve has always believed that a soulbond is a blessing -- a rare and beautiful miracle, joining the thoughts and feelings of two people forever, from the first time they touch. Steve knows he's not going to be one of the lucky ones. He knows Gail isn't his soulmate. But he loves her, even if they're not soulmates, and he's going to do right by her. After the war's over, he's going to marry her, and they're going to settle down. They'll buy a house. They'll have children. He'll see his family again. Maybe Bucky will live next door. It's going to be a good life. He doesn't need a soulbond. He'll be fine without one. Then Steve wakes up sixty years in the future to find that his wonderful life has moved on without him. His family is long dead. His fiancée married his best friend. And the only purpose he has left is leading the Ultimates, a misbegotten team of superheroes with flaws too numerous to count. Steve hates everything about the future -- but most of all he detests Tony, flashy and flirtatious, who embodies everything Steve hates about a world he never wanted to live in. And, oh, yeah, Steve has a soulmate after all: Tony fucking Stark.

Thrust Issues (specifically chapter 8) ((more specifically the last half of chapter 8))

A battle gone wrong leads Tony to the unexpected and pleasant discovery that Steve is much more well-endowed than he could ever have imagined. But when Tony learns that Steve has never actually been able to sleep with anyone because of his size, Tony does what any good friend would do: he offers to relieve Steve of his virginity. Personally. Tony's determined, Tony's methodical, and Tony has a plan. He's going to get Steve laid. Tony just needs to make sure Steve never finds out that Tony's in love with him.

Man is a Wolf to Man (that's right it's capwolf time!!)

When Antonius is falsely accused and convicted of murdering an ambassador, he is condemned to death by the wild beasts of the arena. But the wolf sent to kill him is something rather more than he ever expected.
