Okay, consider me asking. For purposes of fan exchanges, is it allowed to write fanfic or draw fan art of your novels that are posted on ao3, in particular Almost Nowhere? Thanks for writing it, I enjoyed it so much reading it recently.

Sure.

Hake (original work, 556 words, one-shot)
Itâs happened again. Third time in as many godspins.
The woman with the heart-shaped face is back, and she is browsing the fish market. And yes, Anpiel thinks âheart-shaped,â but itâs not just the contours of her face that recall the organ: itâs the ruddy cheeks, and the scarlet dress, and the way she pulsates with energy. Even her greeting sounds red.
âHi.â
Anpiel takes a step closer. âYou were here yesterday, too,â she says.
The woman flicks her fingers toward one of the freezers. âItâs one of the last places you can get fresh food.â
Thatâs true enough. Fish are still considered unholy, even after the Ascent and the ensuing mass disillusionment, so theyâre not snatched up as quickly as other foods. The two of them look at the nearest specimen together, gaping dumbly from behind its transparent plastic wrapping. Anpiel doesnât remember what itâs called. Sheâs been losing more and more words since her connection to the Pantheon was severed.
âWhich way you headed?â
Anpiel looks up. âArcade.â
âZippy,â says the woman. âIâm going that way, too.â
They weave through back alleys and creep under tunnels to make sure the Pantheon will not see them â although by now, the Pantheon probably does not care. In the Arcade, they play a quick racing game. Itâs not the same, of course itâs not the same without the plug to her neocortex, but Anpiel enjoys herself anyway. She hasnât played with anyone in months, and hey, she wins two out of three matches. They also kiss, and Anpiel humps the womanâs lap until mutual satisfaction, and she hasnât done that in months, either.
Itâs nice.
Really nice.
Maybe they can stick together for a few days.
âYou still know the recipe?â Anpiel marvels, later in the evening. They are at the womanâs home â Gabbyâs home, she is Gabby now â and Anpiel has just been served the fish with yellow carrots, steamed potatoes, and some kind of sauce. âHow can you still know the recipe?â
Gabby shrugs her shoulders. âBeen using mnemonic devices for a long time,â she says. âI didnât wait for the Ascent.â
She throws Anpiel a backward nod, indicating she should unzip her dress. Anpiel complies, and pulls the flaps slightly apart, and whistles.
âYou went all out.â
The woman hasnât just disabled the network. Sheâs actually clipped her wings â that intricate latticework of implants that sweeps over everyoneâs spines, two dotted lines marching upwards and curving away at the seventh vertebra. The result is a mess of scabbed wounds and warped flesh and jutting metal, and Anpiel canât, just canât, and lets go with a jolt.
âBut what if we need them again?â she asks, suddenly afraid. âWhat will you do then?â
The woman fingers a strand of Anpielâs hair, cups her jaw. âDo you miss your gods so much?â She grins. âI can make you see god right hereâŠâ
âIâm serious!â Anpiel is almost hysterical now, reaching forward to curl her hands into the red, red fabric of the womanâs collar. âWhat if we do need them again?â
âWe wonât.â
âThatâs what you say,â she sobs. She thinks about the fish as it looked a few hours before, slowly, obliviously decaying in a world of ice. Her voice flattens out for her next remark: âThatâs what you say. Iâve already forgotten your name.â

I loved this fic! I wrote a recursive fic of this story for the Morphogenetic Fields edition of We Die Like Fen exchange, because my recipient had bookmarked it as a favorite. Itâs available on AO3 here:Â https://archiveofourown.org/works/38916153

For more cutting edge, avant-garde, cool-as-heck Final Fantasy Tactics content, people should also listen to this Magnus Archives style incident report about future Ivalician archaeologists coming upon a giant sheep skeleton and having spooky times with it. Itâs another piece from the recent Unconventional Fanworks Exchange, and it does understated, creeping horror so very very well.
People (like me probably) really need to get the memo to create more twenty-first-century style Ivalician horror centered around mishaps with scholarship. This is only partly because I have a deep desire to read a million fics dunking on Alazlam/Arazlam; everything people did with my favorite canon for the exchange was just that good and shows how incredibly rad this type of transformative work can be.

This is such a fun, nerdy, sweet little fic! I love the set up as the translation of an ancient fragment of text. With footnotes!! Which probably makes it extra nerdy, but also extra fun lol Iâm also just always happy to see positive, loving explorations of Hades and Persephoneâs relationship. So seeing that in conjunction with an origin story for their children was just great <3
someone recâd one of my fics on tumblr.... !Â

Of the Lords of Darkness three were present from the worldâs very beginning. Kheshmet, King Fate, was there in the moment the spark of life first appeared, watching over the twists and forks of its destiny; his uncousin Uhlume, Lord Death, was present in the second hour, for every living thing must eventually die. And when humanity appeared to walk the Flat Earth in its first age, you may be sure that Wickedness walked among them without need for invention. But Chuz? Madness, it seems, was not in the world by nature: Madness was created.Â
A belated Yuletide story, telling the origin story of Chuz, Prince Madness (with an appearance from Delirium of the Endless).

Halloween art and fic exchange - works of Ann Leckie
IC (inconvenientcalamity on tumblr?) ran a Leckieverse exchange (for canons by Ann Leckie, basically the Ancillary series, Provenance, and Raven Tower). All the written items ended up being for the Imperial Radch fandom. It was hand matched and registrations were through a Google form, posts were on a fandom discord, but I've collected links and here they are!
First, the art:
Art of "Spidermechs take over the aquarium"Â by alex (EternalLibrary on ao3) for Erin @cassyblue
Art of "Piat and Tisarwat hanging out together, a lil drunk, in the gardens" by kes @kesbeacon for FlipSpring
Art of "Breq as a ghost" by Erin @cassyblueâ for kes
Next, the fic:
Fic by me (Gammarad on ao3) for alex: Spirited  Summary: a fic about spirit possession, a haunted Undergarden, and Tisarwat being fed sweets.
Fic by FlipSpring for gostaks: Salvage Summary: "Finding uncommon ground" - Relationship: Sphene & Queter - Genre: "Slice of Life When Life Is A Little Bit Emotionally Fraught"
Fic by gostaks for me: Sword of Tlen is Dead Summary: What is left of Sword of Tlen is found on a search and rescue mission not far from the Provisional Republic of Two Systems. It's having a bit of a hard time adapting.
Republic of Two Systems Independence Day Exchange 2020 Masterpost!
Sorry for the delay, everyone, here it is at last! Amazing work this year; everyone go appreciate these masterpieces!

Summary:
The idea that occurred to Sphene was simple. What if two entirely separate problems, the problem of creating credible evidence for the Conclave and the problem of no longer being able to get ancillaries from Athoek, had a single solution? Hwae didn't want those people anymore. Sphene might as well make use of them.
Notes:
This story is part of the Republic of Two Systems Independence Day exchange, and a gift for Gyps Fulvus.
Thanks for your prompts! I hope you enjoy the story. @gyps-fulvus
