Dystini

51 year old unashamed, unabashed, fervent, blatant, a little obsessed Indycar fan.  I read and write Indycar RPF fanfic. I am absolutely NSFW.  Not trying to be rude, but minors go away. Come back when you're 18. Haters/negativity will be ignored/blocked/mocked as my mood of the day dictates. Ask anything. No guarantees that I'll answer.

I was beginning to think I'd lost the ability (It's all long fics, all the time lately), but I wrote a short one-shot!

Never Say Goodbye

[dystini]

A fic for the Indycar RPF discord Mating Season Challenge

Also known as the "short" one-shot that wouldn't end.

More Than They Bargained For

[anandrettisimp]

Can I just say that the prank done to Dan at Motegi has like slowly gotten worse over the years since it was first told. Like it’s gone from:

Yeah we posted his one of each of his shoes back to America

So we might of messed with his hair and beauty products

And took all of the lightbulbs

And the tv and other appliances

And turned the temperature up in the room

Also we we and a bunch of other driver took a shit in the toilet

And Bryan knew how to turn the cistern off so there was no water in the toilet - yes with the thermostat at max it stank

Like no wonder you were all fucking hiding after all that!

What else did you do?!

[areyoudoingthis]

babe wake up ao3 came up with the only funny april fools joke in the history of the world

The blog post is pretty great too.

Polycule Months -April - Dario Franchitti/Bryan Herta/Dan Wheldon and James Hinchliffe/Pato O’Ward/Alex Palou/Alexander Rossi

Fanfics. Fan art. Fan edits. Poetry. Whatever your creative heart desires. Any and every way to celebrate this group

All casual, no signups, participate at will. Start posting at midnight in your time zone.

Bring out your favorite tropes: friends to lovers, unrequited love (except is it unrequited?), idiots in love, pining

Or use the trope of the month – “I didn’t know where else to go.”

The existence of casual sex implies the existence of competitive sex and “Who did this to you?”

Nothing is off limits, even dark and dead dove is acceptable. Just tag appropriately so people can avoid it if it’s not their thing. NO SHAMING!

Longer fanfics and Ao3 links welcome, even if they’re not finished within the month.

Can you draw? Would love to see your art of this group. Give us the hugs and kisses we never get in real life.

Got a request for any of the above? Throw it out there and maybe someone will be inspired.

Look for a new poll around the 15th to choose the polycule for May.

See the poll results here

Finished just in time for the March trope of the month: Competitive sex.

Choosing the Winner

[randomishnickname]

One of those fandom things that I love is when there’s new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go “Aye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.” And everyone else just “aye.”

[inimitably-ineffable]

Not to mention the plot tropes.

“I don’t think the Highschool AU is going to come in too strong this year. Fandoms a touch jaded for that. But the hurt/comfort is growin’ thick as weeds and twice as fast. It’ll be a good harvest, fer sure.”

[mx-incognito]

@cynaram

[cynaram]

“I hear over at [neighbouring fandom] they’re putting the top field into fix-it fics.”

“Yes, ‘twould be.  They had a hard season last year, a right hard season.” 

[explorerrowan]

“You think I ought to plant a little Sailor Moon Wild West AU? Don’t know if anything would come of it. Might not make it to harvest.”

“Won’t know until you plant it, will you?”

[fieldbears]

“Ah, a heritage crop.”

[captainclickycat]

The shipping forecast.

The Fandom Almanac

[nyansense-the-nyanbinary]

“I think I’m going to sow some rarepairs this season. Don’t know what the market for ‘em will be, but I can eat ‘em if nobody else wants to.”

[jonairadreaming]

Petition to start referring to fanworks as ‘produce’ and stop calling it ‘content’.

Produce = Fresh. Tasty. Nutritious. Contains some ppm of Love.

Content = Lifeless. Sterile. An obligation.
