"Abruptly, Alex stood up - he’d made a decision. Now to act on it. Leaning down, he scooped the kitten up gently and deposited it into a hoodie pocket, then turned to make the walk South. It was time to face his demons.

Well, some of them at least."

-----

In which Alex is adopted by a cat.

No really, that's it. That's the plot.

Of course Alex and heard them. Teenage spy and all.

The truth, then. “We’re worried about you.”

Either Or

Point of Divergence

In one world, Cossack heard about Albert Bridge and looked the other way. In another, John Rider found a stray assassin on his doorstep. An AU told in snapshots.

fic!!! posting!!! time!!!! thank you to everyone who took part, you’ve all done a wonderful job!

[alexriderbigbang]

I wanted to take part in the big bang and I got slightly confused as to where I submit my summary. I ended up submitting it to your 'post', and I'm not sure if that was correct. Sorry for being a pain.

Hi! Thank you for taking part! I might just be missing it, but I can't see a summary on any of the posts - the best way to submit it is as an ask to this blog (either off anon or with some kind of contact detail included so we know who you are & how to get in touch), or through the discord server (link is on the blog) :)

[alexriderbigbang]

A small reminder for writers that we do have a rules list - It’s not very extensive, and the only thing outright banned is NSFW content, but please remember that if your fic breaks the rules then we can’t post it as part of the Big Bang <3

Writing is not always writing.

Writing is being on the train and mentally seeing your OCs stumble into other people, or flinching away from the germ-ridden handrails, or sleeping on each others’ shoulders.

Writing is hearing a song on the radio and watching one of your scenes play out to the lyrics.

Writing is laying on your floor or sitting by your computer and spending hours collaging newspaper clippings or pictures or people or plants together and making something that is completely, uniquely, your story.

Writing is drawing your characters in your notebooks, and making tea only your one, picky character would drink, and writing an open letter to all your characters just to remind them you love them.

Writing is moodboards, and playlists, and crafts, and asks, and prompts, and pictures, and memories, and you.

So never think that just because you’re not putting words on a page, you’re not a real writer. Writing is something that follows you everywhere, beyond the word document, and beyond the screen.

Because writing isn’t something you do. It’s something you are.

To all signed-up authors!

The deadline to submit summaries is tomorrow, the 14th of November!

If you've not yet sent us your summary, please submit it either as an ask to this blog or on discord! Thank you!

Are you an Alex Rider blog?

Then please reblog this! Roleplay blogs, fanblogs, etc. as long as it’s an AR focused blog. I’ll make a list for everyone!
