I miss you
The cursor blinked. Waiting, almost patiently, as her thumb hovered over the send button, then hit delete. One, two, three times. Slow, maybe regretful.
I miss
And the cursor blinking.
So many things that she missed. None of them easy to name, like when a word hangs there, just on the tip of your tongue, if only you’d remember. Hopeful. Like you might stumble upon it at any moment, you can feel it getting close, closer, your brain speeding up and your mouth working around it, so close like you’re almost ready and if only—
She erased the entire message. Started again. Erased again. Stopped. The cursor blinked. Empty. Kinda dreadful, every writer worst fear was always a blank page, only she’d do anything to start again.
Clean slate, another chance. Whatever the name, she’d take it. Make it right this time, no more mistakes, enough of regrets. Probably do it all wrong again anyway, but damn she was trying. Shouldn’t be so hard. Hard, yes. But not this hard.
The cursor blinked, waiting.
I miss you
Her breath was warm and fast on her own hand. She pressed down on delete, held firm under her thumb till everything disappeared.
I've noticed there are a lot of image/reward things you put when you reblog, is there a list of all possible ones anywhere? I'm curious. Or if there isn't a list posted, would you mind telling me here?
hi! i do not think the current list is up to date so i’ll make a new one and link it here!

Inspired by @/monthly-writing-challenges @/zazuprompts @/come-what-may-challenge . Make sure to check them out, the first one collects challenges like this one, the second creates awesome monthly prompts, and the third inspired this one in particular!
This June prompt theme was my attempt at combining a few aspects of what was most voted on in the poll. Since “Summer Solstice” won out, I tried to make it mostly fit to that, but also incorporated the “June in Tune” and “Honeymoon in June” since they tied for second.
SO here is my monster.
The following is a list of songs. I’ve created a Spotify playlist (link or scan the code) to hopefully make this easier for everyone. My intention was to create a Summery-feeling collection, but also have some lovey vibes mixed in. So there are love songs, summer songs, summer love songs, etc. So hopefully that covers all of our bases for those of you who aren’t experiencing Summer this time of year.
Pick lyrics you like if you want to base your work on that, use the song title, use your interpretation of the song, even just use the general vibe or feeling it gives you. Overall, it’s your work and these prompts are purely here to try to spur some creativity or get the writer’s block to go away.
I tried to pick various genres (although pop-ish music won out) and various time periods-ish. There are also some extra songs at the end of the month.
All that being said: making this was…a time 😂 I am open to any feedback should you want to chime in. If you liked it, I can definitely do something similar again. If it wasn’t accessible, let me know. All the things. If nothing else, I hope you at least found some new music you like or hadn’t heard before (I did).
As usual, prompts can be done in any order and at any time. There is an AO3 subcollection linked here should you like to post it there (not required). Please feel free to post to Tumblr as well, or anywhere else that suits your fancy and tag #TropeVarietyHour. While I’m not gonna track you down on other sites, nor is it required, if you don’t mind, it would be great if you could link back here or credit somehow if you use the prompts! The AO3 collections stay open, so if you decide to do a past month’s prompt, feel free to submit it to that month still.
All fandoms and original works welcome! Any type of works as well, not just written.
Thanks to all those who continue to participate! (I feel out of breath just typing all that) There is a reader friendly view below the image if the cursive is hard to decipher.
For any questions, please check the FAQ section first, then don’t hesitate to submit an ask. For AO3 collection questions, there is a contact listed on the site and an FAQ.
I want to highly recommend two tools for helping you with this very sad situation, which you must use before it happens.
The first is this wonderful script that will automatically add key information (that you choose) like author, title, summary, etc to your bookmark notes so you at least know what got deleted.
The second is this incredible bulk downloader for AO3. Input any AO3 page (such as your bookmarks page) and tell it what format you want to download in and it will just.... DOWNLOAD IT ALL!! I run it every few months so that I have all my bookmarks downloaded in my preferred EPUB format. That way I know I always have my favorites downloaded in case they ever get deleted.
With the combination of these two, I can look in my bookmarks, see what was deleted, and easily find it in my downloads. It's such a relief to have my own fic library is all my favs!
It automatically saves evey fic you visit so you have a backup if the fic is ever erased. No more mysterious bookmarks lost forever.
Also if you go to the page of an erased fic, it not only gives you the option to check on ao3 saver in case you have it saved, but also in archive.org in case someone ever did a backup there.
Thank you to @andienight for their help with this challenge!
Here are the prompts for this month! As always, have fun, don’t forget to tag the blog for reblogs and add #MisadventureMay in your tags!
It's me again! Wanting to make a few things clearer (pls crop my username)
I'm Brazilian, and next year I'll legally be an adult (yay!). So far, I've updated all my apps normally, and none have asked me for age verification, because I'm older than the minimum age to use them.
If my memory serves me right, it took a while for the law to be enforced. Websites/apps rated 18+ ask for your ID or a photo (e.g, porn sites that you log in, but in the anonymous mode they don't ask), websites/apps that aren't, don't (e.g., Instagram).
So please everyone, don't be alarmed. I know the situation isn't cool, but so far not all websites/apps ask you for that.
And I saw people cheating the verification with ✨ 3D game characters ✨, so we know the ai system in shit.
Media fans! We are looking for your radio show proposals, to launch Fanon Radio with a grand celebration! The goal is to fill 24 hours with a schedule of live broadcasts by media fans.
Date & time: 4th of July, 10:00 AM CEST
Broadcasting location: In person (Rotterdam, NL) & remote (fanon.radio)
What we are looking for
As transformative fans, you are invited to host your own shows, to share your experiences in fan circles, experiment with alternative ways of creating fan projects and build meaningful connections. Don't know how you could contribute to the project? Here are some ideas to get you inspired! Be as open, fun, weird and experimental as you want!
Talk about a fan event or project you're organizing; document one from the past.
Host a discussion about fandom practices and community meta.
Perform your favourite work of fanfiction live, instead of recording a podfic.
Turn fanfiction into a tabletop roleplaying session with your friends. One takes the role of the "ficmaster" and the players portray media characters.
because it's fun! because we love them! because the person who runs this exchange is a Saint, thank you so much for keeping this little piece of fandom alive. I love you. <3
