Last day of April check in @steggyfanevents! I have not been able to complete my #steggyfanficchallenge like I expected but I did manage 4 bingos!
I didn’t realize how much I never got around to reading while fighting with my own writing muse, but I tried to really widen my reading and hope to continue it on. I also planned to leave comments on every fic, and a few of you are still owed some AO3 comments from me ASAP 😉
I have tried to tag everyone’s tumblr I could find below. If you haven’t been tagged and see your fic, feel free to let me know to tag you.
Less than 10k Words
Five Times Steve Did Not Realize Someone Was Trying To Pick Him Up (And One Time He Did) by @buckywiththegoodhair86
Comments: A great use of the 5+1 fic trope, where the different situations are written with so much humor and pitch perfect voices.
Baby Fic
Build Ourselves Together by fluffernutter8 / @theawkwardterrier
Comments: An incredibly thoughtful, warm, and fun Modern AU where Steve and Peggy have an odd meetcute that turns into a wonderful show of love and community.
“Best Girl”
There is nothing for me but to love you by AnaRose
Comments: This may be an unfinished fic, but it doesn’t leave you on a cliff hanger, and provides a lovely chance for Steve & Peggy to get their dance.
Multichapter Fic
Stork Sweet Shoppe by CapandCarter
Comments: An incredibly fun AU where Peggy goes to visit her Aunt in Brooklyn for the summer and befriends Steve throughout their childhood and beyond.
Mutual Pining
A HUGE misunderstanding by @captainjimothycarter
Comments: A lovely little one-shot where both Steve and Peggy are pining idiots
Post-Canon
The Competition by KorrohShipper
Comments: Steve and Peggy one up each for the significant days in their lives, because they got their second chance, and it’s worth living live to the fullest.
Published in 2021 or later
That Red Dress by @elzibub
Comments: A lovely one-shot revisiting our favorite pub scene in CA:TFA
Skinny Steve
Lightning Strike by Brenda / @brendaonao3
Comments: A Skinny Steve & Peggy meetcute that is both sweet and very fitting of their characters.
Letters
so I wait for you like a lonely house by @whilewewereyetsinners
Comments: Tony Stark hatches a plan, Natasha is impressed by a 1940s SSR Agent, Howard writes a faithful (if perhaps poorly judged) letter, and a lovely Steggy reunion of course.
Contains Your Favorite Trope – “Childhood Friends to Lovers + Long Distance Pining”
a mighty ocean or a gentle kiss by @avengeclintasha
Comments: An absolute lovely use of parallel stories, with an equally lovely sequel.
First Kiss
Let Me Take Care of You by @rachlovesligers
Comments: *NOTE* I took a different take on First Kiss so please note this fic is rated E. But it is sensual and breathtaking, and just chef’s kiss.
30k+ Word Length
Just One Thing by includewomeninthesequel / @cafecitowriter
Comments: 13 Going on 30 but Steggy, and it not only meets that RomCom genre to perfection, but makes some Steggy specific changes that make it even more enjoyable.
Contains Your Favorite AU – “Modern AU”
singing in the rain by hesthedevilinpink
Comments: A very cute one-shot with a meetcute between Steve and Peggy that is a dream.
Enemies to Lovers
Merger by @beautifulwhensarcastic
Comments: I mean can you get any more sexual tension than between business rivals that are clearly really into each other?! Very fun and very sexy Modern AU.
New To You Author
The Holly and the Ivy and the Supersoldier Santa by @pineau-noir
Comments: If you need some Christmas spirit in April, you can’t get a much better visual than Steve dressed as Santa during WWII.
Europe
Lucerne by @doctorhelena
Comments: A fic I read before I was active on AO3, so I forgot how much I loved this. It is a perfect story for some fondue!
Agent Carter
The Next Guy by @roboticonography
Comments: Another fic I must have read a million times just about the time I started getting active on AO3. This is an incredible continuation of post AC Season 2, and has personally been very inspiring to me.
Coney Island
Goodbye, Dreamland by @littlereyofsunlight
Comments: If you need to feel like you can feel sea water, sunshine and summer, this fic will transport you there! A lovely piece about a trip to Coney Island, that manages to be a dream while staying very firmly rooted in reality.
Fix-it Fic
A Second Chance At Keeping Him Safe by @buckywiththegoodhair86
Comments: One of the comments on this fic was along the lines of “ooh Steve is the damsel in distress” and yes you need that in your life, and yes it is worth it. Truly a lovely bit of hurt/comfort full of my favorite Howlies.

2024 r/Fantasy Bingo
Trying to get back into reading this year and using the r/Fantasy subreddit's Bingo board as a motivator
It runs from 1 Apr 2024 to 31 Mar 2025 so I've already read 2 books that count! Not sure which squares I'm going to use them for yet because they fit multiple - but for no I'm thinking I have Alliterative Title and Book club book covered.
Full rules in the Reddit Post if anyone else is interested
(Google Sheet template I'm using for tracking - created by shift_shaper on Reddit)

Hiya!! Just wanted to say thank you once again for the Reading Bingo - I completed it just in the knick of time this year, but it kept me reading through a Masters, so thank you!! Will there be one this year? I really hope so :)
Hello! Oh wow, you're very welcome! Amazing that you finished the Reading Bingo while completing your Masters program! Congrats on that. :)
Yes, I'll do one for 2024. I'll get started on it!

@macrolit 2024 reading bingo. I need to determine what exactly constitutes a classic novel (today on things i thought would have been taught to me in my degree and absolutely were not). Technically, I have read fanfic already this year..just didn't know which one i wanted to put (it will probably be a Dunmesh one).

Finished All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy and crossed off square Romance, Adventure or Western.

ring in the new year with a readathon!
posting on the day because I’ve been so sick all of december that I hadn't planned to make an event™ of it this year. but I have a stack of books & comics beside me plus audiobooks through libby, and reading is my favorite way to kickoff and end each year! so I'll power through 💪🏽
I’ve done this publicly once before and while I’ve updated the boards, the prompts and this post are largely the same as a time-saving measure. I’m sharing in case anyone wants to join in ♡
boards: one (pictured), two (blue/purple), three (grayscale, easy to read)
fills are focused on checkpoints along the way of reading + easy peasy pitstops when you need a break, rather than focused on what you’re reading, so it's friendly to multiple genres and formats! win by any pattern you choose!! this is all for fun & the love of reading

wlw books bingo 2024
i’ve made a few storygraph reading challenges but this year i made myself a little bingo to try and read more wlw/sapphic stories!
i also created some rubbish but lovingly-made bingo cards that you’ll find under the cut <3 if you’re not on storygraph please @ me or tag any updates with #writeasiread so i can steal your book ideas see what people are reading :)
here’s the link to the storygraph challenge
here are 9 categories & 1 optional/bonus category that make up the bingo:
a book by an author whose work you’ve read previously — (if no authors have written wlw, then read an author from your TBR)
a book in which at least one person in the main wlw relationship is BIPOC
a book with pink on the cover
a book with a consensually non-monogamous relationship 👥👥 other members of the polycule can be any gender as long as at least one couple is wlw — (if you can’t find a book that fits this description, instead read a book with a character who’s just out of a relationship.)
a fantasy or paranormal book
a book that’s title is made up of 2 words or less
a Young Adult (YA) book
a book about a relationship that you’d tell your best friend to run a mile from — (if you aren’t comfortable reading about the more toxic relationships, read a book from before 2010!)
a book about a relationship with an age difference of more than 5 years
BONUS/OPTIONAL:
read some sapphic erotica

Summer Fic Reading Challenge Card
Hello everyone! I signed up to do the summer fic reading challenge by @ficreadingchallenge and I just wanted to show my card. I did it not only because I am a reader as well as a writer, but I wanted to discover new fics and get more of an idea of fan culture.
For me, I did put some extra rules for myself :
If I can help it, I would like each square to be a different fandom. If not, that's fine.
For the most part, I want to read a fic I have not read before/read in depth.
This is entirely optional, but I would like to try writing at least one or two of these when I can.
Since I'm in a Writing Retreat now, I don't know if I will have the time, but I might post about the fics and how I thought about them. I will definitely post a master list of all the fics I read and share.
I have a lot of reading and writing to do.

I'm visiting family for a few weeks after a health scare (thankfully everyone is okay now). I can't bring many books with me, so I'm dusting off an old kindle I won in a raffle my manager entered me in last year to bring.
It had a few free cozies on it I still hadn't read, so I downloaded some more I've been interested in, since I'm getting into a cozy mystery mood again. It'll be interesting to see how many I read by the time I return home and how many of these boxes they tick off 🙂
