you would think a banger like "your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing" would be from some classic like crime and punishment, but no it's from sophie chewing keefe out for running off to join the neverseen
hekster for the @kotlcsecretsanta exchange... sorry im very aware that it's objectively incredibly embarrassing to be this late. @camelspit oh my gosh ur the coolest i am SO sorry. Maybe it's your birthday? maybe this is an early birthday gift? perhaps? either way 🥹 happy secret santa !!!!
HEKSTER SPACE OPERA HEKSTER SPACE OPERA. ROLING AROUND FOAMING AT THE MOUTH
the people ( you and @an-ungraceful-swan ) have spoken
maybe this should go on my kotlc blog but oh well. i’ll just reblog it there
the fic takes place in a world where the black swan and the neverseen are fighting over control of the elf space empire. the council exists but they hold little power with the war going on. the neverseen has practically won and sophie, a cyborg supersoldier for the black swan, decides to flee. she ends up crash landing on what seems to be an deserted planet but is actually the remains of a failed colony, where stina is the only survivor. the two work together to repair sophie’s ship and maybe fall in love.
other information i have in this doc: fitz maintains a neutral stance publicly but uses his status to help the black swans in private, biana acts as an assassin for the black swan, marella is a rebel gunner, linh is the pilot for marcella’s ship, tam is a spy for the black swan and acts as a neverseen courier, keefe is also with the neverseen bc of gisela but is there unwillingly.
i also have a section where i mention making it solinh instead?? i think my intention was so that i could do a dual POV and also follow tam, who thinks linh is dead. either way i think this is a fun concept… i’ve yet to write anything for it but maybe i will soon
Roisins Reading Rumble 2026: Team Assignments + Posting Dates
Unfortunately, I did have to take the Jensi team out this year bc only 3 people put him in their top 3 😔
Teams + dates are under the cut! If you are in the LINH OR TAM TEAM, I will tag you in a reblog of this post (There's an @ limit so I can't put every tam in one post)
READING RUMBLE DISCORD LINK
If you are not in the Rumble, please don't join the server. When you guys join, PLEASE say your url and assigned team in the intros channel so that I can give you your team role.
Check out the Roisin's Reading Rumble community on Discord - hang out with 49 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.
Last year was very successful and going forward, this is what I plan to do every year!
What is it?
There will be 12 teams:
Team Sophie
Team Keefe
Team Fitz
Team Biana
Team Dex
Team Tam
Team Linh
Team Marella
Team Stina
Team Maruca
Team Wylie
Team Jensi
Everyone who enters will be assigned a team based on your choice of character. The max # of people in a team is 6 (this is subject to change depending on how many people enter)
The goal: To work together and make as much art, fic, analyses, edits, etc. as you can to post on your assigned day (each team will have a dedicated posting day). Teams will be assigned on February 3, and you will have until JULY to do as much as you want. Each person should have at least 1 submission.
While its not required, I do recommend having a Discord account, because there is a Reading Rumble server so that you can discuss ideas with your team and brainstorm! The Discord link will be posted along with the posting dates when the team assignments come out ❤️
I also want to add that this is open for EVERYONE. even if you're not sure if your art/fic/whatever skills are good enough or if you think you can only create one thing, if you want to join, join!!!!! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to message me!!!!
(If anyones interested, you can find the results from last year here)
FAQ
Can I make a piece that's not entirely centered around my character?
Yes! Ships, group pieces, etc. all count!
If I make an edit, do I have to credit the creators of the art used in it?
YES! This is a big one. I was lenient last year because I forgot to mention this, but if you make an edit without crediting the artists I will not count that post. And just saying "Credit to the artists" does not count. If you want to use a piece and you cannot find the artist who made it, don't use it.
Can I collab with other people?
Yes! You can collab with people inside and outside your team! (If it is a collab with someone outside your team, it will count as a point for both teams.)
How is the winner determined?
During the posting days, I keep track of all the posts! The overall winner is the team with the most posts, but I also keep track of the teams with the most art, most fics, most words written, and most collabs!
