music for the almost-but-not-quite-done My Mad Fat Diary story I Choose the Words
for @bryrosea, who is both lovely and (hopefully) patient. This will make a lot more sense when I finish the story in November. Thank you for always being willing to read my garbage detours.

HAPPY FANWORKS FESTIVUS!
Hope you had a wonderful day!
Iāll be posting a few gifts shortly.
Please let the writers and artists know you enjoyed their work by leaving a comment!
THREE DAYS LEFT? FOUR DAYS LEFT?
That entirely depends on what kind of last minute person you are.
(For the record this mod is the WORST KIND)
From now on, Iāll be sending you a daily reminder that the deadline for Fanworks Festivus 2016 is Sunday, September 25th. Gulp.
My two-part mix for the 25K fic I wonāt have finished in time is done and saved on 8-tracks. It is boss. My second fanmix for another giftee is also done, I just need to make some highly dubiousĀ āgraphicā to go with it with MS Paint or something. My third fanmix for another giftee might just be a pipe dream at this point BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, I work well under pressure.
What Iām saying is pray for me, dudes.

Fanworks Festivus is a collection of gift works by fans for fans. If there is someone who brings joy to your fandom life, consider giving the the gift of fanwork and adding it to our collection on or before 9/25. Gift works can include:
Fanfic (500 word minimum) Fanmixes Meta Podfic Fan art Graphic sets Gif sets Fan craft* Fan videos
Here is our FAQ. This yearās theme is TROPES, which handily, covers a lot of thematic ground. Here is a list ofĀ āem for reference.
Hope to see your work!
-Mod Ghostcat
your Monday reminder
that the deadline for the multi-fandom gift work collection Fanworks Festivus is rapidly approaching on 9/25
I KNOW.
Currently, Iām at about 13k of a fic I most definitely will not have finished by 9/25, so I feel your helplessness and terror.
But Ghostcat, you may ask, how can you be pimping a collection which you wonāt have a finished story in?
That is a good question! Because I plan to have at least two fanmixes done in time, one related to the story Iām working on and another. FANMIXES ARE FANWORK and are eligible for the collection.
Other things that are eligible:
Meta
Podfic
Fan art
Graphic sets
Gif sets
Fan craft*
Fan videos
And please keep in mind that you donāt have to be a maniac like me, fic only has to be 500 words long to qualify.
*I hadnāt listed this before but someone pointed out to me that crafting fandom related gift work should be allowed in the collection and I COMPLETELY AGREE.
So what are you waiting for? You know that you have always wanted to be losing your mind making something for someone at the last possible minute SO DO IT.
For more information, visit our FAQ! This yearās theme is TROPES.

Fanworks Festivus 2016
Have you ever wanted to write a fic as a gift for someone specific, outside of an exchange but also thought it might be nice to be part of a larger collection of gifts? Then Fanworks Festivus is the collection for you!
In the spirit of clarification, below are some rules for this gift-giving celebration:
What are the requirements to be included in this collection?
All fics/art/meta/fanmixes/gif sets/graphics/podfic/songs/fanvids must:
Be gifted to someone Be 500 words minimum (if fic) Be tagged responsibly Be posted to the collection on or before September 25, 2016 Be completed (not WIP) when they are posted!
Who can contribute?
Anyone with an AO3 or Tumblr account is welcome to submit to the collection!
Is this collection only for certain fandoms?
Nope. We are a multi-fandom collection.
Does my work have to have a specific rating?
There are no rating requirements for fic. You can go G or hard E, it all depends on what you think your gift recipient would prefer. All kinds of fanworks are welcome in the collection! Just be sure to tag your fic appropriately so that other folks can find/avoid the kinds of works they are interested. Fanworks that Mods feel have been improperly tagged may be removed from the collection.
What is this TROPES theme?
The theme for this yearās Fanworks Festivus is TROPES. In the spirit of cohesiveness, weāve put together a list of tropes that you can use to create something for your giftee. Feel free to use one or more in your work. Itās merely a way to unite the collection and provide some inspiration for your work.
What if I have no one to gift my work to?
Hmm. I encourage you to create, you absolutely should, BUT since this collection was created specifically as a way to gift fanwork to someone you want to say thank you to or who is having a birthday that you want to celebrate, then this is not the collection for you.
How do I make something a gift?
You do this from the āPost a New Workā screen. Here is a link to the AO3 tutorial on how to gift to a recipient
How do I post to the collection?
You do this from the āPost a New Workā screen; itās actually right above the area where you make a gift. Just type āFanworks Festivusā into the Collection/Challenge box and it should pop right up!
How do I tag on tumblr so people know itās part of the collection?
Just tag āFanworks Festivus 2016ā³.

These rules are also in our AO3 FAQ! Canāt wait to see your fanworks!
Hurt/Comfort is such an interesting thing. Itās basically an entire genreĀ of fanfiction. Iād argue it satisfies a very basic, vital needāthe same way that horror satisfies the basic need to be scared in a safe, controllable space.Ā
And yet it doesnāt really have an equivalent outside of fan culture.Ā "Tearjerkersā can sometimes come close, theyāre probably the closest thing to a mainstream hurt/comfort genre that there is. But those types of books and movies donāt usually focus on theĀ ācomfortā aspect in the same way, and donāt make use ofĀ tension and release.
I think every good hurt/comfort fic makes use of tension and releaseĀ just as horror does, whether the writer is consciously aware of it or not. Though of course the tension and release in h/c comes from different sources than in horror. Instead of anticipating something frightening, you anticipate the intimacy and/or validation that comes from the ācomfortā part you know is eventually coming. Thatās what provides release of the tension built up during the āhurtā scenes.
I could write a goddamned essay about this itās so fascinating.Ā
This is a great definition/analysis of it! Iāve been interested in this too. Itās always been my favorite fanfiction genre. Itās to the point where reading just angst is not enough, there is something left unfulfilled if the character does not have theĀ ātension and releaseā and just remains under whatever stressor at the end. I think part of the reason I like it so much, is often in mainstream media characters DO NOT have thatĀ āhealing momentā, shall we say. Too often, there may be a sad/traumatic/stressful event and the character is shown to just pick themselves up from it and move on like nothing happened. Which is not realistic as we all know, so I think the hurt/comfort genre in fanfiction is a kind of a response to that. TheĀ āfilling in the blanksā of when a character needs a moment of healing or validation to continue onward, because that in a sense is more relatable then theĀ āsuper heroā character who can move through it like nothing damaged them.Ā
this is a very good definition of it and why I probably like it so much
