Hello lovelies <333

An idea that was posted during one of the discussions about this season seemed to gain a bit of traction, to the point where I’d like to see if there’s enough interest to make that idea a reality: a fanmade alternative to the final season of TVD, made by Bamon fans for Bamon fans.

I know most of us fanartists and writers have been struggling with finding motivation given the current state of canon, but I’ve also seen the way we (artmakers and art-appreciators alike) rally around things like Domestic!Bamon Day and the Bamily Secret Santa. Bonnie and Damon as a pairing will always be something beautiful and powerful, something inspiring, no matter what Julie et al. may choose to do on their show.

And I hope that you all might be interested in banding together for another fandom-wide effort, to build something good for ourselves. This isn’t to catch TPTB attention, and it’s certainly not to promote the show. This is something entirely our own, for us to enjoy, to share our talent and love with each other. To marvel once again at the creativity and heart for which this fandom is famous (infamous?).

… Basically, to once again build something positive out of the miserable wreckage that the show has dropped at our feet time and time again.

How it could work:

The base of the project would be a multi-authored fic. Rather than chapters, we would split that fic into “episodes.” After working as a group to set out a basic outline of the overall story and bullet-pointed guidelines and goals to be accomplished within each episode, each episode will be assigned to one writer. Two writers will not be assigned any chapters/episodes, and they will instead work together as beta readers/editors for the entire project.

In this way, no one person is burdened by too much of the work, but everyone has input and a chance to shine (authors will of course have credit/notes on their own chapters!). And the consistent source of editing should allow for the final result to be relatively seamless.

In addition to the fic, each episode would be accompanied by edits, gifsets, and maybe even vids, posted in the tag. This would give our artists their own opportunity to shine, as well as make for a more immersive experience. Artists could work on as few or as many fanworks as they’d like, and we can figure out the spread to make sure there’s enough art for each episode.

There’s six weeks until the series ends, so depending on how many people want to participate in this, and how big we want the scope of the story to be, we may finish before then or we may not. I envisioned having 10-15 chapters, but that’s not written in stone. Again, it all depends on the interest level :)

So… what do you guys think? It’s an ambitious project, and I know everyone is busy, but I would really love to have one more big hurrah before the series ends… and there’s no promise that we’ll get that if we don’t make it ourselves.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING, AND WHETHER YOU WOULD WANT TO WRITE OR MAKE ART (OR BOTH).

(Also, if you can, please boost this post to ensure it reaches any fanartists and writers who may not be tracking the tags anymore! Thank you!)

"I would love to see some hedge fund manager on Wall Street who might be sniffing a little cocaine here and there to stay awake realize that he can't get his $150,000 worth of deductions unless he submits to a drug test."

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) has had enough of the growing movement to drug test poor people who need government assistance. So on Tuesday, she’s introducing a bill that she says will make things fairer.

Her “Top 1% Accountability Act” would require anyone claiming itemized tax deductions of over $150,000 in a given year to submit a clean drug test. If a filer doesn’t submit a clean test within three months of filing, he won’t be able to take advantage of tax deductions like the mortgage interest deduction or health insurance tax breaks. Instead he would have to make use of the standard deduction.

Her office has calculated that the people impacted will be those who make at least $500,000 a year. “By drug testing those with itemized deductions over $150,000, this bill will level the playing field for drug testing people who are the recipients of social programs,” a memo on her bill notes.

Moore has a personal stake in the fight. “I am a former welfare recipient,” she explained. “I’ve used food stamps, I’ve received Aid for Families with Dependent Children, Medicaid, Head Start for my kids, Title XX daycare [subsidies]. I’m truly grateful for the social safety net.”
