Hi! I was wondering if you are okay with Fan binds of your fics?

Hi!

I have no idea what that means. ^_^; Sorry! If you let me know what you mean, I'll happily answer.

But also, the answer is probably yes. As long as you're crediting me as the author and not making any money off of it, I'm pretty much cool with whatever you wanna do!

Simply put fanbinding is turning fanfiction into a physical book for private use, usually just one or two copies are made.

I'm specifically asking since I am participating in a tiny book challenge, and would like to format a copy of your fic Lingua Franca to be made into a tiny book. Someone else will make me a bound copy in return, and the typeset file will be shared with the other members. Are you okay with that?

No money will be made and of course you will be listed as the author.

[octinary]

Oh! That sounds cool! Go for it. Also, if you come across any spelling or grammar errors while you're doing so, feel free to point them out to me and correct them so they are not immortalized. XD I was re-reading a different fic of mine the other day and was embarrassed at the spelling mistakes.

If you wanted, when you get the physical book, I would love to see a picture of what it looks like. But that's not a condition or anything - just a request because I think it would be neat. Have fun!

My piece for @octinary’s fic An Excess of Omelettes for @yenbigbang​ 2022! I’m very grateful to be its illustrator.

People do not offer you things; you take them. People do not give you space; you occupy it. People do not pause for you to speak; you shout over them. These are the rules. These have always been the rules. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something. But if you can’t get what you want by following the rules, maybe it’s time to try something different.

After leaving both Istredd and Geralt in Aedd Gynvael (for different but equally valid reasons), Yennefer refocusses her attention on her quest to cure herself of the infertility that Aretuza subjected her to and make herself whole again. She gets a good tip on a promising lead, but, aggravatingly, the path from here to motherhood seems cursed to cross her exes’. She finds herself in the unenviably position of trying to determine whether to retrieve her heart’s desire at the cost of her pride, or to go without but remain stubbornly inviolate.

Because that’s the only two options, right?

Egg Tree

Rating: T

Pairing: None (Gen Jaskier & Ciri & Geralt & Lambert & Coën & Yennefer & Vesemir)

Word Count: 4.3k

CW: Canonical character death (S2 & TW3)

Summary:  Ciri asks a simple question over breakfast. Jaskier overthinks it and panics. The repercussions of his fumbling answer are perhaps more enduring than he might have hoped.

Four Hours Ago

“Huh,” Ciri said as Jaskier gracelessly oozed himself onto the bench opposite hers at the table and fumbled blindly for cutlery. “Eggs.”

In the few days since his arrival, Jaskier had mastered the art of manoeuvring his mostly still unconscious body from his room to breakfast in Kaer Morhen’s great hall without really opening his eyes. It was, he thought, a clever compromise between his promise to himself many years ago, after his final finals at Oxenfurt, never again to wake up before the sun and the witchers’ insane insistence that breakfast was something that should happen in the early hours of the morning instead of around ten or so as the gods clearly intended. Even worse, Vesemir subscribed to the ‘most important meal of the day’ malarky (perpetrated by malicious early birds against the innocent night owls of the world), which meant that the breakfast served at Kaer Morhen was a hearty and substantial affair whereas lunch was a much leaner offering, more of an afterthought to tide one over to dinner than an actual meal unto itself. So all told, it was either get up to eat with the rooster's first crow or starve ‘til evening. In the face of that impossible choice, Jaskier did the best he could.

He was cutting it pretty close this morning, though—the only other person still at the table when he stumbled in was the Princess Cirilla, or Ciri as he was trying to remember she preferred being called—and so despite his valiant attempts to keep his mind as blissfully numb and as close to sleep as possible, the little pang of worry that he might have been too late and gone hungry had his consciousness close enough to the surface that the quizzical tone in Ciri’s voice could catch it, hook, line and sinker.

I just sent you an anonymous ask asking how to participate...I meant to clarify how do I write for the event! If that makes sense? Sorry if I'm being confusing...

Hi! My apologies for the delayed response!

So, the first step would be to join the Discord! On the Discord, the prompt, the countdown and the link to the AO3 collection are all posted. There is also a Google calendar you can subscribe to with all of the flash fics which are scheduled for the rest of the year!

To write for the challenge, all you have to do is submit a fic to the AO3 collection before the challenge closes. (This is why you need to join the Discord or subscribe to the calendar, so you know when the challenge opens and closes.) When you go to the AO3 collection during an active challenge, there is a link in the top right to post to the collection. Here's a picture of what the button looks like from a past challenge. I highlighted the button in red.

When you click that, you'll get the normal AO3 posting page to fill out with the name of the challenge you are submitting to pre-filled out for you. Don't worry about making your fic anonymous or anything; that's all handled by the collection! Just fill out the AO3 posting page like you normally would and hit post.

And that's it! The fics will stay anonymous for one week so that everyone has time to guess who wrote what. The link to the Google form for guessing is posted in the Discord and on my Tumblr.

I hope you will choose to join us! I'm more than happy to answer any other questions to the best of my ability. :)
