QUICK QUESTION!
I’m sorry I know it’s been a while😅
BUT
If I wrote things about The West Wings characters
(Current hyperfixation)
Should anyone be down to read them or would it just be self-indulgent???

Tuesday, I’m in love.
the west wing | joey lucas/josh lyman | 2k words | post-episode s01e20, canon divergent, awkward flirting, mutual pining
Hidden away in the far corner, she's chosen to sit with her back to the wall. She's concentrated, sipping out of her White House mug (the very same Josh had gifted her, he guesses). An organized pile of dot matrix pages fill the square table. A roller suitcase leans against the table leg, airline tags still attached at the handle, reading DCA-LAX and then back. On the chair next to her is a leather messenger bag, strap saggy around the frame of the chair.
Kenny is nowhere in sight.
Josh second-guesses whether he should or shouldn't, but he'd seem like an ass if he didn't, right? You miss all the shots you don't take.
(Or: the "regular Tuesday suit" brings luck, again.)

TWW Pride is intended to encourage creation of queer fanworks and help to form community and support for queer creators in The West Wing fandom.
The first The West Wing Pride Week will begin on Sunday, September 17th, 2023 and run for seven days! Any fanwork posted within these dates and tagged with #twwpride23 or included in our Ao3 Collection will be included as part of the event. At the end of every day, we’ll be posting round-ups of everything created, in addition to an end-of-week masterpost. Anyone who participates in all seven days of Pride Week will be added to our Hall of Fame!
Event Info & Guidelines
For Pride Week, two prompts will be provided per day. These prompts are primarily intended to generate inspiration, so feel free to use one, both, or neither, and in whatever order or combination you want!
If you do choose to follow the prompts, they will be filed under whatever day(s) their prompts fall under for easy reference. If you post on Tumblr, don’t forget to tag your work with #twwpride23 - any tagged posts will be reblogged unless otherwise requested.
The prompt list will be reposted weekly as we count down to the beginning of the event. During Pride Week, prompt reminders will be posted at the beginning of each day, and round-ups will be posted at midnight EST.
In order to keep TWW Pride accessible to everyone, we request that you add alt-text or an image description to any visuals.
This information, as well as a plaintext version of the prompts list, can be found on our desktop site here.
FAQ
What do you consider a queer fanwork?
Whatever you consider to be queer - and in whatever form (fic, poetry, gifs, edits, art, etc) - so do we. This is an inclusionary event, and here will be no policing of identity or creation. While any maturity rating is welcome, all we ask is that content is appropriately tagged for its platform (AO3 or Tumblr).
Do I have to wait until the week begins to start writing/drawing/editing?
You can begin creating as soon as you’re ready, but only content posted during the week will be counted for archival purposes.
How closely do I have to follow the prompts?
The prompts are inspirational, not compulsory. Any queer fanwork is welcome this week, regardless of if they fit into the prompts!
How do I make sure you can find my work when I post it?
If you’re posting on tumblr, be sure to use the tag #twwpride23 so we can reblog and promote it! On Ao3, you can find The West Wing Pride Week collection here!
A question we missed? Ask us right here!

West Wing fan fic ideas that I need motivation to write that no one asked for —
“ Mirrors ” — With the Congressional investigation and tensions running high in the White House, Sam quietly develops an addiction to stimulants during preparation for Bartlet’s fourth State of the Union. Like everything else, Leo handles it.
“ Can You Hear the Music ” — Five times music is played in the White House.
“ Lineage ” — Leo puts in a call to Westport, Connecticut or Leo tells Josh’s mom he’s been shot.
“ Next to Me ” — Sam loses the election in California, Santos wins, and everyone slowly drifts apart. When nobody’s heard from Sam in over a year, Toby makes a long distance welfare check.
#pls bully me or ask me questions or give me ideas baaaaaaaaaaagghhhhh#why do I like to beat the shit outta Sam????#sam seaborn#leo mcgarry#josh lyman#jed bartlet#cj cregg#toby ziegler#donna moss#tww#the west wing#tww fic#west wing fic#ww fic#fic#or take them and write them pls I’m begging

Editors’ Choice:
This week, we’re recommending fics with a found family component to them! Be sure to share your favorites as well!
fathers and sons by rearviewmirror | Rated T | Zoey Bartlet/Charlie Young, Abbey Bartlet/Jed Bartlet/Leo McGarry | Complete | “It’s good to be a little scared. Scared means you care. Caring means you’re gonna do great.”
the way old friends do by mikaylawrites for swancharmings | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | They’ve formed a natural trio at events like these; they’re the in-laws, so to speak. While everyone else is getting up to their usual antics, they’re likely to be the ones quietly observing in the corner of the room, or convening in the kitchen to catch up on each other’s lives and sneaking food when Abbey isn’t looking.
Donna, Toby, Charlie, and the chaotic people they love.
breathe by jazzjo | Rated G | C.J. Cregg/Andrea Wyatt, Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | She had never expected to see past her twenties, let alone this.
She has her little brother and his family next door, music in all her days, and this family she's found in the midst of everything.
Yes, she thinks, this is all she’ll ever need.
now don’t lose your fight kid by sam_writes_fics | Rated T | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | The night of the Illinois Primary.
a glamorous invitation by jeaniecregg | Rated G | C. J. Cregg/Toby Ziegler | Complete | CJ joins Toby, Josh, and Sam for Thanksgiving.
brothers in arms by hufflepuffhermione | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “Do you have any siblings, Joshua?” the teacher asked. Have. Present tense.
He worried the faux wood of the desk with his fingers, his head pounding as the teacher raised his voice with another “Joshua”.
Josh finally allowed a strangled, “No,” to escape, and put his head down on the desk, because saying that two letter word meant that it was true, that he was now an only child.
Josh Lyman was no longer a brother, and he didn’t know who he was anymore.
Josh Lyman and how he reclaims the title of brother.
if you’re looking for the girl of your dreams, she’s in brooklyn with me by starsontheceiling for TheBreakfastGenie | Rated G | C. J. Cregg & Josh Lyman (No Pairings Listed) Complete | “Why do you talk to me like this?”
“Because you never had a big sister, and you need one.”
Snapshots of CJ and Josh, over the years.
Stay tuned for our reblog with this week's fics!

Hi! I wrote a (small) fic. I can’t remember if I have any tww followers or mutuals here, but if I do, please enjoy! For @twwpress’s West Wing Wheel of Destiny Drabble Challenge, based off of the prompt “State of the Union.”
Rating: General Audiences
Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Category: Gen
Fandom: The West Wing
Character: Sam Seaborn
Words: 499
Summary: It was on the tomorrow side of today and Sam had been writing for hours, and the thing about outpouring words onto paper is that it makes it very easy to poor out random words into the open air, too, instead of putting the proper ones on paper.
#This is my first fic that I haven’t immediately orphaned because I decided I didn’t like it#so#I’m a tad nervous#But Sam’s a character that holds a special place in my heart so he deserves to see the light of day#The west wing#Tww#tww wheel of destiny drabble challenge#Sam seaborn#sam seaborn the west wing#Tww fic#the west wing fic#posts by me#writing by me

Happy Abbeyversary! 💜💜

So, Ellie Bartlet would not leave my mind… here we go, a short follow-up because I could not resist
“People like making assumptions, fancying themselves to be experts in reading others, so the conventional wisdom has it that she avoids 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue because she is afraid of the spotlight. Only partly true, but it is not her place to disclose the real reason.”

#CJTOBY: enigma by lady gaga by @cjcreggswifey [VIDEO EDIT]
Editors’ Choice:
In honor of the anniversary of the premiere of “20 Hours in L.A.”, here are some of our favorite fics based on/centered around that episode!
Go to Sleep by AndAllThatMishigas | Rated G | Abbey Bartlet/Jed Bartlet | Complete | Post-ep for 20 Hours in LA
of red dresses and things unsaid by JediAnnieScrambler | Rated T | C. J. Cregg/Toby Ziegler | Complete | “CJ,” he managed, voice tight and strangled. Her dress was soft and silky under his fingertips, her perfume stronger than ever. “Are you drunk?”
“No, Tobus, I am not drunk.”
(20 Hours in LA missing scene)
Gathering Rosebuds and Mixing Metaphors by Lily_Padd_23 | Rated G | Josh Lyman/Sam Seaborn | Complete | Alternate ending to 20 Hours in LA
gather ye rosebuds by thefinestmuffins | Rated E | Josh Lyman/Donna Moss | Complete | “Gather ye rosebuds,” she’d said, all impetuous, up on her knees on his damn bed, and it’s so confusing, the way he’s almost positive that’s she’s flirting with him sometimes, even as she actively pushes him towards other women.
Gather ye rosebuds.
Joey’s door is within sight now, but Josh turns around without knocking, without pausing or even slowing down, driven by something sharp and immediate that seems to be lodged directly behind his solar plexus.
** A one and done smutshot, canon-divergent from 20 Hours in LA, in which Josh realizes where his rosebuds are and goes back to his hotel room to gather them. **
Fics from the past two weeks coming in the reblog!
