My first (but not last) ((although very late)) contribution to @galexfest, is a fanart piece for @forcederror's fic! It was a fun challenge trying to draw Alex's expressions on George and George's expressions on Alex, and I hope it came across true to vision. Fic cover version under cut.

Alex squints at the screenshot.

Russtappen has officially overtaken Galex as the most popular George ship on AO3.

He reads it again.

Then a third time, in case the words rearrange themselves into something less offensive.

They don’t. What the fuck.

“No,” Alex says, to the dark room.

Russtappen overtakes Galex in the Ao3 rankings. Alex has a minor crashout.

El Manjar (Nunca Podré Olvidarte)

alex/george | e | 20.4k

"Nothing— It's fine. You can look," Alex replied. Something like surprise filled George as he looked around. A lighter, a box of cigarettes, strawberry Mentos, a tiny box of condoms, lube, two red bulls, and a Sudoku book. He laughed. What kind of night was Alex planning? Alex looked over at him again, offended. "Don't laugh at me." "You don't even smoke."

f1 rpf, alex albon/george russell; inspired by the six swans (fairy tale); written for @galexfest

Once upon a time, a curse finds George Russell and transforms him into a swan. When traditional curse breaking techniques fail, Alex Albon volunteers to fulfil the demands of the curse in order to free George.

Scandal

Alex Albon/George Russell | 60s Boarding School AU | 8.0k | Rated: E

For a moment, he was sure George was going to stop whatever this was. Until he cleared his throat and then spoke again, “D’you reckon we just…have a wank?” Alex blinked at him, “Here? Now?” George shrugged and then, “Yeah?” Honestly, it was only then that Alex clued into just how badly he wanted to do just that. George's eyes flickered between Alex’s and the soft rise of his cock against his stomach, and Alex silently hoped he couldn’t see how it twitched under his stare. If he did notice, he played it off, “S’pose we just…do it side by side. Like…mates.” “Yeah. Like mates.” Alex echoed. OR Alex and George meet as dormmates in their first year at Gresham’s School for Boys. They grow incredibly close incredibly fast, and this newfound trust sparks a risky secret between them.

hi im new to fests and i have a two questions, 1) whats the difference between work submissions and work revels. is the submission like the "check in"? 2) does one need to join the server or how will submissions work if it's a check-in?

eitherway i'm really excited!!

Hii,

So "work submission" is when you upload your fic onto ao3 in the collection (it will stay as a mystery work until the "work reveal" (24 hours between the deadline to upload the fic and the fics going public) the work reveal is just so that all the fics are out at the same

A check in is pretty much just me being like HIII HOW IS YOUR FIC GOING, DO YOU NEED A BETA? DO YOU STILL REMEMBER ABOUT THE FEST every now and then😂 it's not really like a airport check in where you gotta show up, more like a reblog + "im doing xyz in the tags"

You don't have to join the server, but you're welcome to if you can. All announcements will be made on the tumblr page

I hope that I was able to make things a bit clearer for you, feel free to ask anything else
