Any new fests coming up?
hello!!! as far as we know, @elevatefemslash is the only fest coming up. it'll be happening in the fall, with hopefully similar dates to last year (mid October).
if anyone knows of any other fests happening let us know!
It’s time for author reveals! We had so much fun this week, and we’re so grateful you joined us for another year of Rare Fest.
If you did enjoy these works, please don’t forget to show these authors some love by hitting that Kudos button and/or leaving some love with a comment. Don’t know what to say? Trust us — a simple “loved this!” or even a string of emojis goes a long way to make fanwork creators feel appreciated.
Without further adieu, let’s rip the blindfold off these amazing works!
We did it, folks. It’s Friday, and we’re rounding out our week with our final selection of works. This year’s Rare Fest comes to a close with themes of friendship, family, and love — much like the show that we’re all here to celebrate. We hope you enjoy them!
Have fun following along this week? Don’t forget to leave a kudos or comment to show our writers your appreciation!

Taking Care of David
[Alexis & David, Teen, 5,590]
With Patrick out of town, the last thing David needs is to be stuck in bed with the flu. They've been planning Patrick's attendance at the conference for months, there's no question of him returning to help out. But as chance would have it, Alexis is in town for a couple of weeks and reluctantly, David agrees to let Patrick ask for her help. It isn't like she's going to say 'yes' anyway...
***
Marcy's Girls
[Alexis, Marcy, & Stevie, Teen, 4,464]
Marcy is left alone with Alexis and Stevie after David has to pick Patrick up from a vendor run. Alexis and Stevie both turn to Marcy for relationship advice, and Marcy finds herself to be a substitute mother to the girls.
***
Want S’more
[Patrick/Jake/Mutt, Explicit, 3536]
Patrick goes camping and gets a crash course in survival woodworking.
***
your secret's safe with me
[Ruth/Stevie, Mature, 3,125]
Stevie hates surprises. Truly, there’s nothing she hates more. They make her extremely uncomfortable, and always make her cry, whether or not they’re good surprises. She’s terrible at planning them, too. She’s never been particularly good at keeping secrets, which seems to shock most people.
But somehow, despite all of this, Stevie has ended up dating Ruth who not only likes surprises, but also just informed her that she booked a trip to visit Schitt's Creek for her birthday. So now Stevie has to plan a surprise party for her sophisticated, big city girlfriend in a town that only has one restaurant.
Stevie enlists David's help to plan a surprise party for Ruth. It goes about as well as one would expect.
***
Best Budds
Stevie, G, 2,875]
A pre canon telling of Stevie’s relationship with the Motel over the passage of time and the lifelong effect it bestowed upon them.
***
You Miss 100% of the Tapes You Don't Play
[Patrick & Stevie, Teen, 995]
Patrick and Stevie support one another’s endeavors on two separate occasions.
***
a reason to stay
[Alexis/Twyla, G, 606]
It isn't like she's never been used, like no one's ever looked at her and seen someone they could discard. It isn't like her family, their voices raised through the mansion as they all pack up their lives, cares about her.
She shoves things in suitcases. Stavros will get her out of this; Stavros will bring her home.
Still: when she finds David's stuffie in her closet, she packs it, too.
--
Alexis has packed and unpacked her life countless times—but until Schitt's Creek, she never found a place that made her want to stay.

catch you when you fall
[Alexis/Twyla and Alexis & David, Teen, 9,718]
Alexis makes a surprise visit to Schitt's Creek to spend some quality time with her girlfriend. But David is under the weather, and with Patrick out of town, Alexis tries her best to take care of him.
***
Hey, Brewer
[Patrick, Ronnie, Teen, 6,393]
A week before, Patrick would have said Ronnie asking for his help was impossible but when she comes into the store to do just that he tries his hardest, despite his confusion and questions. Even after she leaves, their interaction preys on his mind. Over the next few weeks something starts to shift between them but Patrick can't help but be curious as to what started it all off and what Ronnie's thinking.
***
here kitty, kitty
[Ted/Patrick, Teen, 1,352]
Patrick didn't expect to find a cat or meet a hot vet
***
oh, i kinda of think i wanna make it last forever
[Stevie/Ruth, Teen, 2,206]
Ruth can scream. She can wail. She can effortlessly hit the kind of notes that Axl Rose has to warm up for, jumping from pitch to pitch with the kind of abandon that seems like precision. And she knows how to dial it back, following Patrick's lead with an obvious ease that startles Stevie. When their voices meld together, Ruth matching him beat for beat, note by note, Stevie can't help herself.
She catches Mutt's eye, tilting her head towards the vocalists, and bites back a grin when the two of them join in.
And the funny thing is: this shouldn't be so effortlessly easy. The four of them have never played together before.
Voting her into the band, though, is the easiest decision that Stevie's ever made.
--
OR: Stevie hates when people tell her to smile. After Ruth joins her band, though, she can't stop smiling.

[Fanart] There’s a Dead Guy in Room 4
[Stevie & Roland, General, 0]
The coroner said he’d be discreet with the body removal…so why did 6 people show up to assist? And, why were they all wearing hazmat suits?

Heaven help me, she’s walkin’ away
[Stevie/Ruth, Teen, 7,247]
"Why would I need two rooms?" Does Ruth usually get herself two rooms? Is that something she should be doing, for thoroughness or something?
"Because there are two of us?"
Wait. What?
Stevie has one more motel to hit before she can take a vacation, and this time Ruth is tagging along. The problem is, Stevie has fallen into old habits and booked the honeymoon suite.
***
Proud Mary
[Ronnie-centric, Teen, 4,747]
It's 1997, and Veronica "Ronnie" Lee is in a small town for business. What she doesn't expect is to stay - or for a fourteen-year-old rich kid to help steer her in the right direction.
***
i’ll stick by your side, if you’ll be right by mine
[Patrick & Twyla, General, 4,130]
Patrick is new in town and is immediately welcomed and befriended by Twyla. They bond over their crushes on the Rose siblings, baseball, and performing in Cabaret and become best friends.
***
Survivable

[Alexis & David, Teen, 1,253]

(I Can’t Keep) Quiet (Any Longer)
[Jake/Mutt, Mature, 1,220]
Jake's just innocently dropping off Mutt's new table, when he hears something he probably isn't meant to overhear and he can't help but listen in..
Jake lifts the table down from the truck with a grunt. There's no sign of Mutt waiting for him, but the barn door is open wide so he's obviously expected.
He carries the table over to the barn, halting just outside, ready to call out Mutt's name, when..
"Jake."
..His name is a near breathless sigh, followed by a whimper.

***
Finding Her Own Way
[Ronnie/Karen, Explicit, 4,812]
When Ronnie turned 24 she headed east away from Regina, putting her past behind her. Hoping to find somewhere she belonged, to find a place where she fit in. A place where she could live the way she wanted, do as she wanted, and be content. She wasn’t interested in anything beyond a hookup, a flirtation, something with no attachments.
Until Karen.

[podfic] coming home to you
[Stevie & David, Stevie & Patrick, Teen, 11:49]
There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, whenever she needs it.
It’s not a guest room. David and Patrick were very clear on that. The third bedroom is the guest room. But this, this is her room.
There’s Rose Apothecary products in the bathroom, even though she’d still use the drugstore brand if left to her own devices. There’s the old, battered quilt on the foot of the bed that David said didn’t go with the decor, but left it there for her anyway because he knew how much she loved it. There’s even a Sarah McLachan poster on the wall.
There’s a room in the cottage that’s always ready for her, and that’s why she’s definitely not crying on this airplane.

Hi! I wondered if you had any way for writers to be connected to podficcers/other media artists and vice versa?
It’s been an option I’ve appreciated in a couple of other fic fests and thought I might as well ask!
Looking forward to enjoying everyone’s submissions!
Hello!
Thank you for sending this ask! We'll post a more in-depth post about this in the coming week but for the moment we do want to say we will have an option for writers to collaborate with other format artists.
If any writers or podficcers/artists/other media artists are interested in connecting please dm @hullomoon. A reminder that asking to connect may not guarantee being matched up with someone but we do try our best.
