Ran by Ev (evadenly.tumblr.com) and previously Shiv, we attempted (and completed!) Whumptober 2020 with our boys! So we finally caved and started a whumpy blog together.
We have loads too much more original content we'll be posting (If we both manage to stay out of hospital! - Though we promise to be nice and behave for the nurses!).
Again, if Ev gets her finger out, we should have some art too! Lots from our boys in various whumpy and questionable situations hopefully.
We'll be writing vaguely (Read: Too medically accurate for our own good) medical whump, seizures, chronic pain, mental health issues and general fun times, with plenty of comfort...eventually. And of course we can't stick to one AU, so we have several. Obviously 😅
This is Ev signing off. Idk what is gonna happen with the blog, but either way, thank you. Being able to share our boys with you guys has been great, and I'm just sorry we didn't have more time to finish the fics we've got half written, unfinished sentences on the page, but a full stop on our time.
I'm wanting to keep writing, but obviously we don't own the rights for the other creators' characters, so while there may be more Daniels (and Cunningham-Cole) content spread across, Fao and Ely aren't gonna be able to be included.
I'm still intending to run Mediwhump May, so keep your eyes peeled for that.
While I figure out where I'm up to and what I'm doing, you can find us here:
I know you haven't posted in 8 months, but like two years ago you wrote that the Cunningham-Cole clan got into a car accident for Whumptober, and I know it was two years ago, but what are the chances of a part 2? 💀
Impossible.
Shiv and I (Ev) broke up in Jan 24, and we have nothing to do with each other now. FaoFinn is a part of their life they've moved on from and won't be returning to. They still live in the fics we posted, but we won't be making any more for the foreseeable future - there's more chance of a shark attack in a landlocked country.
I'm not sure if they're posting their own stuff at @7thchevronlocked
I will be restarting my own ocs at @evadenly soon.
Unfortunately, this is the end of faofinn and all that lived within it.
As promised, we're bringing you the official prompt list of AI-less Whumptober 2024 today!
We have 31 days of excellent whump prompts, with three prompts per day to pick from, fun themes, and 10 alt prompts to play around with. We hope you enjoy! Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut.
FAQ and Rules
What sort of content can I create for this event?
You can create whatever you want (fic, art, edits, etc). Any fandom is allowed, as well as OC stuff. NSFW is allowed, but please tag your content accordingly! The only thing not allowed is AI-generated content.
Do I need to make 31 things to participate?
Oh heavens no! You can make as much or as little content as you like, skip days when desired, or combine prompts (so for example, write something that covers a prompt from day 1, 2, AND 3). You don't have to do the days in order either, go wild!
To be considered a 'completionist', you only have to make sure that at the end of the month, you've covered 31 prompts from 31 different days, but whether you do that in 31 works or just 1 is up to you.
What are these alts about?
If none of the three prompts of a particular day are your cup of tea, you can swap them out for an alt prompt of your choice.
What are these themes about?
Just a little bit of extra fun for the mods. Like last year, we'll be handing out various badges for people participating in the event. A full list will be posted later (and linked here once that happens), but perhaps there will be a special badge or two for people who can't be completionists but who do manage to finish every single day of a specific theme ;)
How do I tag and is there an AO3 collection?
It suffices to tag your work with #AIlesswhumptober2024 for us to see and reblog it! Please also tag nsfw, since we'll be using that tag too. Tagging the day is optional but does help the mods along.
There will be an AO3 collection for the writers to share their works in, this will be made available once we're closer to October (and linked here once that happens).
That should be all. If you have any additional questions, check our pinned or hit us up in the ask box. Or join our discord maybe, whumping can be a great group activity!

Okay but back when I could afford a therapy my psychiatrist asked if I had written any fanfiction or planned any out in my head, and I was "nah, not really." And she nodded and looked down at her notes and was like "so how do you feel about possibly trying Zoloft?"
I started laughing and she was like "I know it sounds funny but it's been six months without you engaging in your favorite hobby and that's a sign the depression is getting to a point where we might why try some treatments with meds in addition to therapy."
This blog feels as if filled with wasted potential.
I have some writings, of Harrison and Finn, The Cunningham-Cole clan and the Daniels, but I don’t know what I'm supposed to do with them; it almost feels like I need to be asking permission to write about them - and hell, even thinking about them half the time. Which, while I'm aware how daft it all sounds, is what is continually putting up roadblocks in my path and why nothing has been posted (at least Ev's side, I can only speak for myself; there is no communication or desire to).
I tried using other characters, tried making new ones, but there's nothing behind them, and a few paragraphs in, we're back to Harrison and Finn but with different names.
I used to use writing as an outlet, a crutch for my failing mental health. As much as I feel like a dick to admit it, having only myself to think about has allowed me to save a huge part of myself that was atop a crumbling cliff's edge and barely hanging by a thread. I didn't realise how many things I'd stopped doing or enjoying. I've found a spark for things I thought were long gone, what I thought was lost to the long hours at work but, apparently, was not.
Now that my spark is me, I've found myself writing when I get the muse, not when I'm rock bottom and burnt out and trying to find a distraction. The new characters feel like the boys wearing a pair of fake glasses and a mustache and expecting me not to notice. For the record, they're very noticeable. I'm trying to work a way to keep my boys going, to get them from my brain into a decently readable piece of writing, but trying to do so and keep all toes un-stepped has left me a little stumped.
Maybe I should just get it out here, or maybe a different blog would be better? If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know!
Anyway, I just wanted to drop back in and say hi. I hope y'all are doing well, because I am. And that's something I can say wholeheartedly. Or, at least, wholeheartedly mentally. My body regularly attempts to give up the ghost, and I've had far too many ambulances and pre-alerts to resus over the last months. It's much more fun when you're writing about it, a lot less fun living it.
I just realised I'll need to change the blog title.
I also found the jar of teabags in the cupboard, sitting next to the sugar.
I still don't understand how we can have five years with never a day having not spoken, to a complete no-contact order and a fuck u from people I thought were friends..
I mean, at least it was just a dead pet this time. Last time my grandma pulled this stunt was six months after my mum's death and *on* the day of my (dads side) granddad's funeral.
But fr.
tf am i supposed to do with all the tea?? I can't stand the stuff.
At least the presents and crap (aside from the scrapbook of us🥴) can be donated, but I'm p sure you can't donate opened tea bags
3 - Hars and Finn babysitting the other in the basement
4 - Send in a request!
Voting ended onApr 7, 2024
1 - Fred and She pre-partners (in crime), Sheila has a shit upbringing and Fred is a lot more privileged.
Both She and Fred get hurt, they fwll in love, and their family and future collapse around them.
2 - Steve has a tragic history, we've seen that before, but it's never explained how he actually ended up with Fred.
3- The only way to keep Finn and Hars outta trouble? Have them babysit the other in the basement.
The back-to-school illness season had been through the entire family, and had returned to kick Finn's arse. Much to Steve’s frustration, Hars is working with a broken wrist, too. He's also the reason Steve’s turning grey.
For the first time in two months, I had muse last night, and actually wrote three pages. I've got my fingers crossed it continues 🤞
In the meantime, here's Fred. Being the university prof for history etc, this most defo happens. Also, Finn defo does this with Apollo and nobody can tell me otherwise.
A dog can’t eat an email 🤷♂️

Unfortunately due to the breakup of Shiv and myself, and the breakdown of our relationship/any communication/writing, I'm unable to continue with it by myself.
We're in a situation where there is no more Fao and Finn.
Shiv has left, taking Fao and Ely (epoch's, but too much to talk to both of us), and leaving all our fics frozen still.
As mentioned previously, you can find shiv on ao3, but all of my work has only ever been on here.
Would people be interested in a rewritten situation where the Daniels etc remain (but without Fao obv)? Fao left in prev works but removed from future? Leaving the blog frozen with no changes or additions? Completely new characters on a new blog that has zero to do with the boys?
If anyone has any tips etc, they'd be appreciated.
And, with all this, I've got to admit that I feel like I've let everyone down. While it takes two to tango, I feel an awful lot of blame for it too - shiv has other works and fics with either him or him with a different name, but all of my stuff is on here. We'd not written half of what we wanted to, and I can't see it wver being written, whereas Fao appears in multiple other things, y’know? The Daniels don't exist out of here and is just a lot
