The 6th Installation of the BRRR — Alternate Universe Edition —
When our fanfic authors could use some extra love and we could use some extra fic recs to read… It’s time for another round of Bughead Review Round Robin! We are focusing on non-canon related AU’s this round, coffee shops, offices, photographers, and anything else under the sun that’s totally removed from Riverdale canon. It’s time to read some fics that are 100% fanon!
A Short Version of How it’s Going to Work:
The BRRR is a read and review fest that welcomes all fans of Bughead fanfic. Each person who signs up will submit two Bughead-centric non-canon AUs that they would like to recommend for some extra comment love. For this round, recommended fics must not be written by the person submitting them. You will be placed in a group of 4-5 members, including a group leader, to read and review fics together ‘round robin’ style. Your group will be assigned a fic once a week on Tuesday to read and leave a thoughtful, kind, and detailed comment on that designated fic by the following Monday. Rinse and repeat for 4-5 weeks.
Everything you need to know about this round, including guidelines, requirements, and the sign up form are below the cut! Sign ups are open now and close on February 12th. The round will begin on February 16th.
We hope you all decide to join the fanfic love-athon! Tell your friends and as always, signal boosts are super appreciated.
Find the sign up link with the FAQ and Requirements under the cut!

Week One Fic Recs (May 5th-11th)
Once upon a midnight by @lilibug--xx
Ms. Cooper Builds Her Dream House by @stillscape
(day)dreams can come true by @arsenicpanda
The Devil by @sstarrymorningss
I Will Follow by @lovedinapastlife
👏👏👏 to the authors and thank you for the recs @crescentmoonmadness, @bettscoopr, @lovedinapastlife, @bugggghead, and @investigativeduo!
I saw this post by @astropixie about how it’d be nice to review fics on AO3 as you read. A little while back, because I was so in awe of the Clexa fic writers, I made this userscript (can install on Firefox by using Greasemonkey and on Chrome, ETA: Opera, and Safari by using Tampermonkey) so that I could do just that. It doesn’t have the wattpad or soundcloud functionality, it’s just a little thing added on to a page, not something supported by the site itself, but it’s better than nothing.
The userscript is available here: http://pastebin.com/vYBCYWu4
Fic recs, reading, new friends, supporting authors, AND Bughead? Truly a combination of goodness. If you’re looking for some comfort, connection with others in your community, and would love to do more to support the creative writers we have, join this round of Bughead Review Round Robin!
Check out our SIGN UP POST to get all the info and then fill out the form to join!
SIGN UPS CLOSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, today, April 25th, so don’t wait!

We have made a slight change for rec submissions and word count!
We had a limit of 10k or less for word count but due to requests we’ve made a change. When you’re doing your recs aim for at least one of your one-shot recs to be 10,000 words or less. You may choose a fic over 10k for one of your recs. If there is enough interest we will create a high word count one shot group. If you’re up for reading a high word count oneshot, regardless of your recs word count, select the option to opt in for a high word count group while filling out your form.

Welcome to the Third Round of Bughead Review Round Robin!
In an effort to show some extra love to our fandom members (readers and authors alike), @bugggghead, @miss-eee, @shrugheadjonesthethird, and @tory-b have teamed up to follow in the lovely @raptorlily‘s footsteps (with her blessing) and host a 4-5 week round of Bughead Review Round Robin. All posts with relevant information will be tagged - bughead reivew round robin - so feel free to track the tag!
How it’s Going to Work:
Each person who signs up will submit a work that they would like to be reviewed. This can be their own work, or it can be a work by another author that they feel deserves a bit more love. Each work submitted must satisfy the rules set out for fic submissions.
A few of the submission guidelines are as follows:
All submissions must be Bughead centric – this is what we’re all here for!
All submissions must be posted to Ao3.
Works can be either complete or a work-in-progress.
Works can be your own or the work of an author you admire.
If you are submitting a fic other than your own, consider submitting a fic that needs some love!
Length-wise, the section to be reviewed of any given fic should be no longer than 15,000 words.
** For a full list of submission guidelines, check the google doc.
Everyone who signs up is going to be sorted into multiple small groups, the number depending on the response. Ideally, we will have around four to five people in each group, including the leader. Each week, groups will be assigned a work written or submitted by one of the group members that will be up for review. The Round Robin will run for as many weeks as it takes to get through your group. Obviously, you don’t have to review your own work, but we highly encourage you to give yourself a pat on the back or a gold star for being so awesome! On a week when the author’s work is up for review, we will ask that you pick from a fic that is also up for review from a past, current, or future week.
Sign-ups are open between NOW and October 15th!
Round Robin will TENTATIVELY begin between October 20th & 30th, but please be aware that admins will keep you posted on that information.
Each week will begin Monday and end at 11:59 PM PST on Sunday, which will be the deadline to submit reviews. All reviews must be posted on AO3 and links to each review must be submitted to your group leader via discord or tumblr no later than the deadline. Groups will be selected based on your preferences indicated on the google form, so we have people who enjoy the same kind of fiction feeding off of each other.
The reviews in question will follow some guidelines and suggestions, but the general idea is to give a thoughtful and detailed commentary on the work up for reviews.
You can sign up using a Google Doc link found in the instructions.
Please be prepared with a fic to submit when you sign up that meets the above guidelines.
Please direct any questions to one of the admins - @bugggghead, @miss-eee, @shrugheadjonesthethird, or @tory-b.
We hope you all decide to join the party! Tell your friends and as always, signal boosts are super appreciated.
