Intro Post

Welcome, one and all, to Sorvus Week 2024, the first of its kind! Hosted by @a-very-sparkly-nerd and @sagegreenfrogs, we have a lovely lineup of prompts for the week of November 24th-30th. This gives plenty of time for early brainstorming and will likely work best for everyone in the notes of the poll, being after midterms and extracurriculars.

All metas, edits/AMVs, fic, art, playlists, and more welcome! Please do tag/make note of typical AO3 warnings (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Underage, Rape/Non-con, Creator Chose Not to Use Warnings, or No Warnings Apply), whether or not you are posting your creation on AO3. And be sure to use the tag #sorvusweek2024 here on Tumblr!

You don't have to use the prompts, as they are just ideas for some works; feel free to come up with something completely original! Also, it's more than alright if entries are late; we'll keep on reblogging!

Everyone is more than welcome to interact with this post, DM this blog or either of us, and to send asks with any questions!

Go forth into the world with sorvus in your heart, Sorvus Nation, and enjoy the week!

Welcome back Nice Emperor AU yaaay

Ooookayyy with great power comes great responsibility [this is regarding the Jay throwing lightning bolts in the new Lego Fortnite trailer]

Jay uses this power as a last resort- when nothing else works or the team is stuck in a hard place. Picture Toothless gathering lighting and instead of turning invisible he shoots lightning bolts. He has to jump to use it & has to have a clear mind in order to communicate with the sky above - in a way it lends him power , in return he can’t move for the next few days. It is a very powerful attack though, and in most situations it dents the opposing side. He can’t use it underground, as he can’t communicate with the sky. If he does, he would be reaching into his own electrical signals, which would kill him.

Once used, it physically and mentally drains him to a point someone else has to drag/carry him back (sucks the life out of him) and leaves him vulnerable to attacks and/or severe enough injuries (poison, large gashes ect). Every muscle in his body then hurts for a few days and he gets to do nothing for a few days.

He is not allowed to use this ability, but won’t get any repercussions if he does, as that’s already a given.

Idk how he would have discovered to be able to use this others can puzzle that in (maybe a result of skybound idk something horrific)

-Ham. :) ( same guy who gave movie Jay a boost in his power & put a limit on Series’s power) muahha I ruin peoples fun /j

Do you have dates/prompts for 2025 yet?

We DO!

You can find the official intro post here, and we (@sagegreenfrogs and @a-very-sparkly-nerd) will be using the username @sorvusweek2025. Feel free to ask any more questions, and see you there!!

[epitome-of-an-openbook]

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

[mrsmungus]

Legit, getting a subscription on a fic I'd abandoned 10 years earlier spurred me into action to finish it (and write a sequel!)

[epitome-of-an-openbook]

#The journey of reading a fic while it's updating is part of the fun!

Yes exactly this! I love subscribing to fics forgetting about them a bit and then being pleasantly surprised when they update again and they show up in my inbox. It makes me feel like I'm a Charles Dickens fan living in 1830s London waiting patiently for his new chapter to be released via the daily paper.

[jakeroo123]

The only way to predict a major plot twist fourteen and a half months/thirty chapters in advance is to to read a fic as it is updating. Of course I'm going to read unfinished stories.

[zuppizup]

I made so many of my fandom friends by reading their WIPs and commenting on them and screaming about plot twists and tropes and having fun

Fandom is a community, and getting excited about WIPs is one of my favourite aspects of it.

i was so sad, i drew a little bat so i wouldn’t be sad. and now i am no longer sad.

[valtsv]

here is a little bat to banish your sadness

[conquerorwurm]

This nice little bat reminds me of this other nice little bat who was drawn in the 1200s:

[manipulated-pieces]

This is the only website where I routinely see people say things like “oh this reminds me of something I recently saw from the 1200s”

[ouroborosmotifs]

literally how boring and dull do you have to be to dislike codependent relationships in fiction like where is the passion where is the devotion where is the worship that inevitably corrupts and destroys one if not both of them

me: i don’t want to see jellyfish so i will blacklist the tag #jellyfish

people with no common sense: je11yf1sh, je11¥fi5h, j*llyf*sh, je//ÿf!sh, j3ï||yf¡sh, gel lee fisk

result: cannot account for the sheer amount of possible ways to alter the word jellyfish

conclusion: i have to see jellyfish now.

Once again, tumblr is not tiktok, tag properly.

[nojerama1996]

This. Please. Whether I'm avoiding spoilers for a show or people promoting eating disorders, if I block a tag it means I don't want to see it. Spell your fucking tags properly.

[ID: the meme image of a very large book with a high page count next to a small book with a very small page count.

The large book is captioned "Shit I remember about the character" and the small book is captioned "shit the writers remember about the character." End ID]

If you want to avoid this phenomenon as a writer, take the time to make extra documents that are just for taking and recording notes on your characters to make a 'character bible' as I've seen them called; any time your story introduces a trait or new piece of information about your character, take the time to just record it in your character notes so you remember it yourself later!

Eagle-eyed fans will take note of inconsistencies and retcons as they breeze though a book in 24 hours that might have taken you years to write-- make sure you take notes :)
