Well guys, we did it!!! OFN2.0 is over, the authors about to be revealed, and it was a huge success!

We came together as a community and created SO MUCH CONTENT for the Schitt's Creek fandom. And we can't thank you enough!!!

Open Fic Night 2.0 was bigger and better than ever, and we have every one of you to thank for it! Everyone who wrote, created art, shared our posts, and commented on fics. YOU guys are what makes this fandom amazing!

So, as we wrap up OFN2, and the authors are revealed, we just wanted to encourage you to keep commenting as you read, and support these authors so they'll want to keep writing!

Also, we have some very special stats to share with you!

OFN TOTALS!

Total number of authors: 90 (that's more than the total number of fics in OFN1!)

Total number of fics: 109

Total word count: 793,148 (compared to under 600k last time!)

So, if you haven't finished reading the collection yet (and we are assuming most haven't), please continue to comment as you read and enjoy these amazing fics! You guys are doing great!

And... have you been using the spreadsheet???

If you have, we want to see your graphs! Post a screenshot and tag us, we would love to see your progress and check out the spreadsheet in action!

Ok, that wraps it up for another great OFN!

Check in with us after the finale in the spring for details for our next event!

And give yourselves an applause... you deserve it!!! We can't thank you enough for being a part of Open Fic Night!

All I want for Christmas is you

Summary:

Day 12: David gives Patrick the okay to go visit his family for the holidays but Patrick has to leave David at home for Christmas, not expecting him to turn up on his doorstep on Christmas morning with a bouquet of roses.

Notes:

For @kelbottumbles - Fanfic_or_bust on ao3 & @stargatewars - Stargatewars on ao3.

The final day, this was so much fun to do, I truly hope you all have loved each day’s fic. I love you all, thank you for your support! 

Day 12 is dedicated to the amazing women behind @open-fic-night, Kelly & Michele! Thank you so much for organizing such a great event (twice!) for this fandom, for us to express ourselves through writing and through art. The first open fic night was on my birthday (June 22) and the second one is right before Christmas, both so special! I have too many fics already to read and now I’ll have 100 more thanks to the wonderful people who have uploaded to the collection, you’re all incredible! Kelly, it was so awesome getting to meet you at Noah’s Toronto show, I wish we got to talk more (what a show!!!😍). You’re both such amazing and talented writers, I love reading your work. Michele, I look forward to your weekly posts, every fic is just so amazing, seriously! I hope you both enjoy this little ficlet of David surprising Patrick on Christmas. I also wish you both such an amazing holiday!! ❤️

***Reminder at the very least to comment on the fic that was gifted to you***

You. You do. Comment on your gift fics!

[open-fic-night]

Alright, listen up you wonderful people.

OPEN FIC NIGHT IS HERE! And as such, this account is about to get LOUD. We plan to post links to every single fic that was posted to our collection, and that number came in at a STAGGERING 109!

So we apologize in advance for the volume of posts today. But, you know what? Our writers deserve it! Everyone really came through on this and each and every one of them deserves their moment in the sun!

Please remember to give your love with kudos and comments! With so many fics, people are going to be waiting a lot longer than usual for feedback, so it’s extra important for you to show your appreciation by leaving a comment on everything you read!

ALSO, come back VERY SHORTLY, because we have the Official Open Fic Night Spreadsheet coming to save the day and organize your reading! Stay tuned!

Oh, and Art! There will be art. We will reblog any art we are tagged in several times throughout the day, to make sure it doesn’t get lost among the posts, so check back to enjoy what our wonderful artists have created!

Alright kids… have fun! We hope you really enjoy Open Fic Night, and a massive THANK YOU to EVERYONE who contributed in any way. Whether that is by writing, creating art, or just liking and sharing our posts.

You are our Mariah Carey, SC Fandom <3

Just your Rose Apothecary knitwear vendor dropping off another delivery of hats. 

(Alt caption: When you manage to snag tickets to the pop-up, you panic-knit the Stop Saying Lice hat, make a tag for it, and bring it halfway across the country as a prop. It’s a very cute hat when not being worn in the dumbest way possible.)

edit: my messages are always open to chat commissions too!

Oh. My. God! 😍❤

“Rose Apothecary, you know, it’s just pretentious enough.”

“Would we call that pretentious, or … timeless?”

-Patrick Brewer and David Rose, Motel Review S3E8

My final piece for @open-fic-night! This one was a bit of a pain, that poor rose on the right looks like it’s seen some shit, but to be fair it was the first one I did so it ended up being the pancake. It probably also didn’t help that I finished this at like 11PM last night so the time crunch was real.

Pattern designed by me: @hullomoon

[ID: Logo of Rose Apothecary. The middle has two roses outlined in black. On top is ‘Rose Apothecary’ in big black print. Beneath the roses is ‘handcrafted with care’ in small black print. End ID]

[open-fic-night]

Literally handcrafted with care 😍🌹

I just found out about this little soirée of a fest yesterday, so I’m super happy that I had time to put together a piece for it! Thanks for letting me join in on the fun.

Patrick heard the jingle of the bell above the door and sighed. He looked down at himself, covered in black and white, oversized cashmere and figured he deserved this humiliation. It had never occurred to him that he would have needed to bring not one but two spare shirts to the motel the previous evening. He then chuckled at the memory of why his shirts had been ruined and wondered for the tenth time that morning where David had managed to find a turn of the century Absinthe fountain on a day’s notice. 

Resigned to his fate of being seen wearing David’s clothes in front of customers, Patrick shoved aside the curtain to the stock room and stepped out onto the floor. He then immediately spun on his heel and attempted to go straight back behind the curtain once more. 

“Not so fast!” 

Patrick put his hands on his hips and turned back ‘round to find Alexis and Stevie staring at him, wide-eyed, and smiling with too many teeth. They looked like a pair of shiny-haired sharks. Patrick pressed his lips together and braced himself. 

“Oooo, Patrick! You look … like a little toadstool! A baby fuzzy bean pod!” Alexis exclaimed, bangles jangling as she clapped her hands with joy. 

“Totally,” Stevie said, nodding. “That’s what I was thinking.” Her hair fell into her face as she dug in her bag for something.  

“Right!” Alexis slapped her on the arm. “So precious!” 

Stevie emerged from the depths of her messenger bag with her phone and she shamelessly aimed it at Patrick. He heard the sound of the click despite her suppressed laughter. “Precious. Yup.” 

“Oh my god. Oh my god. Patrick. Please tell me David has seen you in this?”

Patrick cleared his throat. “He. Uh, actually—” 

“Oh my god! He dressed you!” Alexis did a little hop on her heels. Stevie snapped another pic. 

“Could you not?” Patrick asked, gesturing to Stevie’s phone. 

She looked up at him, her face void of all emotion. “What? I wasn’t taking your photo.” 

Patrick sighed. Where the hell was David?

THIS. IS. EVERYTHING!!!

Merry Open Fic Night to everyone 😭❤🙌
