Small Fandom Summer 2026!
For the fourth year in a row now, it's time for Small Fandom Summer! Join me for Small Fandom Summer! It's real easy to play:
Make a fanwork for something that has fewer than 1000 English-language works on AO3
Post it to AO3
And then you've done it! You've made a thing and you've diversified the fandom ecosystem! You're basically a hero.
Q: The fandom I want to create for has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but the specific pairing I want to write for has fewer than that. Does that count? A: Yes! Q: What if it has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but, like, just barely? A: Okay! Q: What if it actually has a lot more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but it still feels small? A: Sure! Q: What if I don't want to post it to AO3? What if I don't even have an AO3 account? Can I post it somewhere else? A: Wherever! Q: What if-- A: Just do a thing, friend. Make a thing. Share the thing. This is not meant to be restrictive; this is meant to be inspirational. Create the fanworks you want to see in the world. Make a stranger happy by appealing to their niche interests. Bring joy.
And if you want to give yourself some silly little Steam-like achievement badges to commemorate your accomplishments, well, you're in luck! I've made a bunch of them right here! You can grab the ones that apply to your work and paste them wherever you like and feel good about what you've done. Here's a few of my favorites:
So you see? This is meant to be silly and fun.
There's nowhere to sign up. There's nothing to commit to. There's zero pressure. You just do it if you do it, and don't if you don't. But if you do want to play (yay!), tag your stuff with #small fandom summer so we can all swoop in and appreciate everyone else's efforts.
Here's to creativity!
Images are white text on a black background with a coloured icon taking up the leftmost third of the image. They are as follows:
Green icon of a magnifying class over a beetle. Who's That Boy? (wrote for a character that previously had no AO3 tag)
Orange icon of a tape measure. Size Matters (wrote the longest fic to date in the fandom)
Grey icon of two women holding hands. Lesbifriends (wrote the first F/F fic in the fandom)
Yellow icon of a smiling face surrounded by hearts. My Special Person (wrote something because you knew that one person who'd appreciate it)
Blue icon of an elephant and a mouse. Lorge and Smol (wrote a crossover between a fandom with more than 1000 works and a small fandom)
Grey icon of handcuffs. Testing the Waters (this had better not awake anything in you)
Yellow icon of two fish approaching a hook. Hooked! (wrote something for the first time and are already planning on writing something else for it)
Green icon of a bag with a leaf on it implying soil or plant food. A Brand-New Bag (wrote for a fandom so small you had to teach AO3 what it was)

[Earnest post alert] Hi tumblr: you may remember me from my time acting in Nothing Much To Do and Lovely Little Losers. (if you don't know what that means don't worry, and if you did know but didn't know I was on tumblr, now you do!) I just wanted to tell you all that I've co-written a play with @balmoras, and I also act in it. The reason I'm posting about this on tumblr is because it's literally fanfic we put on stage. This play would literally not exist without tumblr and my misspent youth here. It's about the four bad kids from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory stuck in a house together dealing with their childhood trauma 15 years on (I play Augustus Gloop). There's shipping, angst and found family.
Waiting for Wonka is performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the Gilded Balloon Patter House 5th-16th August, 11:40-12:40, and you can get tickets at the link below. I know that many of you won't be at Edinburgh Fringe but if you are, please come and see us (or tell your friends who WILL be there, or come up for a day or two if you're able!) and you can always donate to our Ko-fi (https://ko-fi.com/halftrick) to maybe help us get it to other places in the future. It would mean a lot to have people in the audience who really get what we're all about, yknow? [Earnest post ends.]

maybe something i love about lolilo is its tendency towards being a 'house as character' story. despite meg's insistence, we see outside of the flat basically four times in ben's videos. and this is ofc a feature of vlogseries and their constraints and what they're trying to do. but more than any other series i can think of, the flat carries so much feeling. where the characters decide to spend time, and maybe even more, where they almost decide to spend time, is so important. it's the divide between the flat and the tent of course, but it's also balth and peter coming so close to knocking on each other's doors, or the times ben decides to film in his bedroom instead of the main living space. we get to know all its little quirks and idiosyncrasies, just like we do with the flatmates, the stairs to nowhere, the weird taps. and the house changes with them. blutack from the rules stripping the paint off the walls, dents in the carpet from moving the couches around for challenges, egg stains. it influences their decision making up to the point where they're making rule to enforce that they spend more time there. like they love the flat and the flat loves them back.
we don't even care about peter. or maybe we do. much like the subject of tuesday's haikus, we contain multitudes.
who gives a fuck Pete I have real shit going on you'll always be there - @cardboardsean
this love is light, so if life is a tragedy this must be act one - me
and for the real haikuheads out there
