FICS.BEGONE Readathon @ficsbegone - Tumblr Blog

The FICS.BEGONE Readathon is a WOE.BEGONE community event organized by and for the fandom. During the Readathon people are encouraged to read fanfic (posted on Ao3), interact with authors in the comment sections, and discuss the overall experience here on Tumblr. In other words: the goal is to have fun :)

The event lasts a season (three months), starting on Monday December 1st, 2025 and ending on Sunday March 1st, 2026. Each month we’ll publish a bingo card to encourage participation. We’ll also release some fun bonus goodies throughout the event, such as:

Interviews with authors;

Reading suggestions to get to that bingo card filled out;

Fanfic read by voice actors (only with explicit permission of the author - contact us if you’re interested!)

The FICS.BEGONE bingo cards will have the following themes:

December: All Ages FICS.BINGO

January: Any/All Fics (18+)

February: Mike4Mike (18+)

We’re also publishing a bingo template for people who want to participate on their own terms. Build your own Bingoals!

Your hosts for the event are Vos @vosling and Felix @felixcosm. We’re two fans of the show with a deep love and appreciation for fanfiction as an artform. We hope to facilitate a space in which fanfic authors are celebrated and exchange between fans can thrive.

Our mascot Bruin the Bear was designed by ace @solipsistful

Celebrating Stinky's Month of May

Happy Stinky's Month of May to all who celebrate!

The Stinky's Month of May 2026 calendar is shared below. The overall calendar is Stinky- and flower-themed, but you are welcome to interpret and twist the daily themes to your tastes. May 8: Bounce could be a Troy boys only story, for example.

Teamwork by Ari_7

This drabble has been on my mind since October. I'm so so excited to finally release this, and please do take a second to read the original work & leave kudos! It's quick but so so sweet. I love the way Ari writes small details & how their fics offer a peek into the moments between the greater plot of the show <3

Roses & Words by Falloutcoy

Representing the month of February, how could I resist a fic about my very favorite holiday?! Especially when it's as sweet as this one is. I adore how awkwardly cute they are here (especially Michael omg... he is trying his very best y'all). Valentines season may be over but I highly recommend checking this one out year-round <3

Our next author interview is with Ari_7!

What aspect of the show inspires you to write fic the most?

I'd say that the whole situation of satellite base - two iterations, separated by age, going back in time to protect their younger iteration from experiencing what they experienced, while living together with the consequences of their lives - is what inspires me the most. How did Mike and Michael come to be, and what are they doing now that they're here

2. Were there any fics (from this fandom or another) that inspired you to start writing?

None in particular! I've been writing fanfiction since before I knew what it was. I'll take this space instead to shout out Doubled by Solipsistful as the reason why I got so into w.bg fics, and the Love in the Time of Iterations and Retrocausal Pockets series by HyperFocusedCloneShipper as a constant stream of new-fic inspiration when I've run out of ideas from canon

3. In what ways have you changed and grown as an author since you started writing fanfic?

So, so many ways. A lot of my old works are baaaad. You can still read them; I haven't and won't take them down. But I've noticed that with longer fics, I take the time to add descriptions in instead of assuming everyone else has the same mental vision as I do. I've also gotten more ambitious in my writing by making drabbles. The goal is to make something that feels really fleshed out and that contains a beginning and an end while only showing the middle, all within 100 words. It's a challenge that I don't think I'd be able to do with any success 5 years ago.

4. What do you listen to while you write?

Nothing! I actually can't focus at all if there's background noise (save, occasionally, for deep brown noise 10 hours) so I usually write without anything playing. If I am listening to something, it'll be the relevant episodes to the thing I'm writing. It helps a lot to get the voice of the characters of you're hearing the voices of those characters.

5. Do you have any routines or rituals to get you in the writing mood?

I so wish that I did! Adhd means that writing is often a "take it or leave it" activity. Either I have the time, inspiration, and desire to write in the moment, or I don't and I won't. It would be incredible if I could spin in a circle three times, click my pen, and magically be in the mood to write.

#f.bg #fics.begone #w.bg #woe.begone #do not propagate #author interview #fanfiction

We have our first (of many) fanfic author interview with Chaos_Muppet on Ao3!

What aspect of the show inspires you to write fic the most?

I'd say a) the large and very fun cast and b) the freak shit™. I tend to focus a lot on characters voices and capturing them accurately to make my fic feel real and the show has many many characters with very fun voices to try and capture.

Also, it's got a bunch of little freaks doing violent gory freak shit (affectionate). Quite a few of my fics are directly inspired by stuff that happens in the actual show, usually in the mode of, well what if this happened but explicitly kinky this time.

2. Were there any fics (from this fandom or another) that inspired you to start writing?

I wouldn't necessarily say there was a specific fic in this fandom that inspired me to start writing fic for it so much as there being such a passionate (if at the time small) community of fic writers. When I first started writing fics there were very few people actively writing for the fandom (mainly Hype and ace) and every new fic in the tag was something to get excited about. It was a very encouraging environment to be writing in, and still is even if the tag is a bit bigger now.

I would like to shout out this Malevolent fic by QuakerGoth which is what originally inspired my interest in woundfucking.

3. In what ways have you changed and grown as an author since you started writing fanfic?

I feel like writing fanfiction has really helped me identify where my strengths and weaknesses are as a writer, and to lean into and further cultivate my strong points. A lot of my fics are very short contained vignettes which was something I realized that I enjoyed writing and was decent at through fic. It also helped me identify how voice forward my writing tends to be and to utilize that direction in my original work as well.

4. What do you listen to while you write?

I don't have a specific writing music I like. If I really need to focus I'll usually go for video game soundtracks but I also have a handful of character specific playlists to get the vibes just right.

5. Do you have any routines or rituals to get you in the writing mood?

Not really? I end up doing most of my writing whenever I can squeeze it in. I like to keep notebooks on me whenever I can and I have a channel in my discord server to quickly jot ideas down if I don't have one when they come to me.

It is February... Happy Mike4Mike month to all who celebrate!

The final ficsbegone bingo card of the month is Mike4Mike themed. We have included an ace, noneterationship option. As a reminder: it's always an option to build your own bingo card with the template, which we've shared here.

Then: It’s the sixth week of 2026 - time for a bonus challenge (: To complete the February bonus challenge (part of the Marathon card), you’ll need to read & comment on six fics with less than six comments. Make 66 and his six shooters proud 😉

Finally, a reminder that we have a discord server, which you can join if you want to chat with fellow readers and authors. It's cozy and the first place where this week's bonus goodie will be shared. Come hang out!

A happy belated New Year to you all 🌌 We have a few updates to share with you all.

First of all: the January Bingo card 🎉 This month we are shifting the focus of FICS.BEGONE to include explicit fics. We have made sure to include a confirmed ace option for people who'd like to participate without reading sex scenes or kink 😊 Though you are at risk of woeboohbah exposure #Boohzone, sorry not sorry /silly As a reminder: it's always an option to build your own bingo card with the template, which we've shared here.

Secondly: It’s the sixth week of FICS.BEGONE - time for a bonus challenge (: To complete the January bonus challenge (part of the Marathon card), you’ll need to read:

Something old (a fic published in 2023 or earlier)

Something new (a fic published in 2026)

Something borrowed (a fic that was a gift)

Something blue (a fic that has tags related to depression, angst, or bruising)

Finally: December was a bit of a false start, but we still have some goodies in the works. We hope to start sharing some of these later this month 🎇

About the organizers

Your hosts for the event are Vos @vosling and Felix @felixcosm. Hi, that’s us! We’re two fans of the show with a deep love and appreciation for fanfiction as an artform. We hope to facilitate a space in which fanfic authors are celebrated and exchange between fans can thrive.

Vos

I still think of myself as a fairly new fan - I binged the show in August 2024 (then immediately started a relisten, lol). I entered the woebecord in December specifically to join the wiki team, but the server quickly turned into one of my favorite haunts. WOE.BEGONE dug its claws in me and hasn’t let go :) I occasionally dip my toes in making fanart (mostly visual art, some writing), but my biggest contribution to the fandom is community organizing. Past projects include the WOE.REPORTS and Episode 200 Highlight Reel. I’m excited to highlight fanfiction next with FICS.BEGONE.

Felix / Gee

I've been writing and reading fanfiction for fifteen years and WOE.BEGONE has been my favorite fandom to do both in. From questionable and violent moments to the silly, bizarre ones, there's never been a shortage for fic ideas and I'm excited to participate in an event that celebrates the variety of this fandom. I've been caught up and active in the WOE.BEGONE Discord and on Tumblr since 2023!

Event guidelines

Find your fics on Ao3 and just go 🐻

Ao3: Commenting on the fics you’ve read is highly encouraged. Share your thoughts or even just a good keyboard smash with the author to show your appreciation for their work.

Tumblr: post about the FICS.BEGONE Readathon experience and analysis. Note: Thoughts on specific fics are best left in their comment sections, so the author remains part of the conversation.

Tailor your own experience - the fics are tagged for a reason. You are encouraged to explore beyond your favorite themes, never beyond your boundaries. If it’s not for you, move on. Don’t yuck other people’s yum.

Participation is the prize. There are no checkpoints, we will not check your homework :)

Ways to participate

Bingo

Bingo cards are the main way to participate in the Readathon as a reader.

Targeted: choose one line on the bingo card and make that your reading goal for the month. Each fic counts for one square, meaning you’ll need to read 5 fics total. You may not use a life line.

Completionist: gotta read them all! Each fic you read may count for up to two squares, meaning you’ll need to read a minimum of 13 fics and a maximum of 25. You may use the life lines to cover up to 3 squares.

Marathon. The Marathon Bingo card can only be completed by participating across the whole event, making it an 18+ card. The Marathon Card encourages reading larger series and contributing by creating your own fanart.

Build your own Bingoals: use our published Fics.Bingo template to create your own bingo card.

The life lines are:

Bounce Off: Create something inspired by fanfic you've read. For example, make fanart, write a song, or build a playlist.

Lucky Horse: Write your own fanfic and post it on Ao3 for everyone else to enjoy.

Clever Bear: Read a fanfic of your choice.

Conversation

Talk to authors in the comment section! Share your thoughts, ask them questions. Writing is a skill and time-consuming craft. Engage with your fan artists to show your appreciation for the work they’ve shared. A little bit of love goes a long way.

Chat with fellow fans on tumblr. Use the tags #fics.begone #f.bg. For example, post themes you notice coming (and going) across the years, share how it feels to (re)read certain fics, and of course: post bingo card progress pics! Note: thoughts on just one specific fic are best left in that comment section, so the author remains part of the conversation.

We are keeping discussions away from the woebecord. As a reminder, you can add the tag “Do Not Propagate” to make sure your post is hidden from Dylan.

Creation

Another way to participate in the Readathon is by creating new things for people to enjoy. The WOE.BEGONE fandom is full of amazing creatives using all kinds of media and fanfic may be yet another starting point of inspiration. Draw fanart, make music inspired by a fanfic, or… just write more fanfic! Perhaps even some fanfanfic? ... Fanficfic? You get our point.

If you’re playing the Marathon bingo card you have the option to swap up to 3 squares with an alternative challenge, including writing a fanfic and making fanart of someone else’s work.
