Here at Sponsor A Story we believe every wip deserves attention, however some need a little extra help to reach their full potential. So we ask you to put your name to one of our clutch and show the author your support. You'll receive weekly updates on your sponsored wip with the possibility of sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes info.
So without further ado let's meet our registered wips waiting in the wings.
The Real Deal 2
The pedigree of this fic is very good so we expect it to be popular. However setting high standards can be challenging for offspring so it may need some coaxing.
Sitcom
A young fic with a lot of potential but currently struggling to find its focus. Patience and understanding are necessary to shape this into a proper adult.
Ghosts
Perhaps an overlooked fic but bringing a lot of personality. Its suffered shyness but gentle assurances will serve to bring it back out of its shell.
Sex Slave
A niche breed that may require a sympathetic sponsor with experience with the traits. It will likely require careful handling to guide it through certain anxiety issues.
Merry Little Batman
A practically unknown breed, consequently burdened with little resognised health problems. Considered study should find solutions for the hurdles.
On Stream
An exotic fic with trust issues that will need soft steps to help blossom. Reassurance will go a long way to building this one's confidence.
Stepping Up
This breed is very familiar and the handling is standard. Its a routine operation to care for but that would be no excuse for complacency.
Gotham Gazette
This fic has very specific demands which requires extra effort. Visiting the birthplace is a taxing undertaking but necessary for a succesful rehabilitation.
P.I. Riddler
Handed in by a previous owner and has struggled to adjust to its new situation. Settled now and just needing love and T.L.C to flourish.
Cherchez la femme
A fancy breed which has been popular although there is not a lot of information available. An interesting work to discover how to handle.
Gay Attorney
An unusual specimen with a mixed heritage which raises unique challenges. Balancing the needs of each side will require focused care.
Under the Desk
A common type with easy to manage conditions. The kind that might get overlooked for being average but still has much to offer.
What is Reality?
An older fic that needs extra care to give the best chance. It has arthritis but physical therapy and patience could engender a real change.
Trans Ed
This fic ended up here after being declared to have behavioural issues. Perhaps it was misunderstood but we believe every idea deserves a second chance.
Multifaceted
One of the largest residents and consequently requiring patience as progress can be slow. So much love and entertainment are possible though and it might even parent a fic or two.
Angel-Demon
A fic with recognisable heritage from other media that will of necessity shape it. Ultimately we hope to see it grow into its own independance.
Leave my heart with you
Troubled with doubts about its purpose, this fic requires slow handling to rebuild confidence. Physically strong but lacking in self-esteem.
The People's Penguin
Something of an oddity. With such a little known pedigree we don't really know what to expect but we support all sorts here.
We're on the final countdown but no need to panic. If you haven't finished, or haven't started, you can still share what you can in #penguinweek. Whether that's an ethereal idea, a wip or a supportive comment, it's welcome. This isn't meant to be stressful but a collaborative celebration of Penguin.
here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.
The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in
Rowling posted the picture taken from below because the trans woman, she said, was "refusing to debate me."
surprisingly forward-thinking of jim henson and co. to make a female character in the 70's that's allowed to be loud-mouthed and violent and kind of overwhelmingly romantic and even a huge bitch at times and not have a moment where any character asks her to change
going through all the muppet movies in a row made me realize that like. miss piggy was made in the 70's. and it's so rare even today to have a character like her. she's loud, she's selfish, she's funny, she's extremely vain, she's obsessed with romance, she's violent, she's kind of annoying, and there's not a single moment in any of these films where she's asked to tone down any of these personality traits. i am not joking when i say that miss piggy might be one of the best treated female characters ever written
In Gotham they don’t hold beauty pageants. They hold Rogue Pageants where average citizens dress up as villains and let people like Two-Face and Scarecrow judge them.
All the money raised goes to the Gotham children's hospital, the rogues take part because they get to come out and be cheered for by their fans instead of boo'd off the streets. Also, the majority of them actually like being seen in a positive light for once, batman even encourages them to participate as a healthy alternative to villainy.
Also, there's Joker doing drag during the commercials. And we all need that in our lives.
good for you! however as a creator I despise consumption culture. it's not about popularity, I get thousands of notes on some of my other posts. it's about people being reluctant to share your work with others. if you look at posts from, say, 2015, you'll find that the likes to reblogs ratio is more or less equal, and sometimes there's more reblogs than likes. this is not the case now, especially with art/fanfiction/gifsets etc. because on "marketable" apps like tiktok and instagram, you're expected to endlessly scroll without sharing. the same thing is happening to this website. fandom thrives on interaction, and if there's no interaction, is there any point in fandom? that's what I'm worried about, not "popularity"
I’m so proud of senshi for making it so far in the tumblr sexyman poll. I think it’s so beautiful that tumblr has reached a point where a short fat hairy bearded man is the pinnacle of sexuality for a large swath of this userbase. it’s like when you see before & after pictures of a rainforest recovering from deforestation. nature is healing and we can fight god
The time is nearly upon us when you'll be sharing or enjoying new Penguin week posts. Unfinished snippets are welcome and could promote discussion and more creativity. Don't fret about getting all prompts finished. Be excited to reblog and comment on all the good stuff we get.
Scarecrow suffering with this horrible glaring crush on hatter he doesn't know how to hide much longer, meanwhile Jervis happily thinks they're already dating and adores Jon so much
Then the same thing happens with Ed so naturally Jervis understands Jon is poly and him and Ed just accept that but Jon now is suffering under two big crushes he's trying to hide from everyone
The other rogues thinking scarecrow is so greedy with his two boyfriends
