We are starting to gear up for "Everybody Loves Penelope - Rare Pair Week"! It will take place August 2-8, 2026. Last year we had over 90 fics submitted and we are so excited to see what this year brings.

What are you writing?? 💜

Okay, but obviously I had to do a Penedict edit as soon as I saw the new promo images that dropped 😂

A new, silly little Penedict edit to lift my spirits~

Nobody: Nobody, not a single person: Me about to share my hundreds of headcanons and AUs about my various OTPS:

✨🧵 ✨Unspooled Thread news!✨💖✨

Hey guys! It's been a minute since we updated and since we last had news.

And ABSOLUTELY NOT THE STORY ISNT ABANDONED!!!

Life is just life-ing and we're trying to write and edit in between the punches.

We're so close! Two chapters and an epilogue left!! Hang in there! Give the story a reread, read it with a friend or a gang of friends! We are always so moved and giggly when we get comments and see traffic, it helps push us forward and know the story is worth finishing!

Everything is coming together for our Ben and Nel and even Colin and Eloise and everyone else too will get their happy ending! Rest assured, everyone!

Stick with us, we're nearly there and it's gonna be worth the wait!

Love,

Itakethewords and @writingwhilecaffeinated

saw this tweet, the minor discourse it created on twitter and it made me wonder:

polins can understand and agree that people who ship colin and marina use the idea of the couple as means to hate on penelope. we see all the time in the few fanfics that make their way into the polin tag on ao3 or on how people use marina to talk about colin and his attraction and love for penelope.

but why doesn't this understanding translate into people seeing that those who ship penelope and anthony, penelope and benedict, penelope and eloise or penelope and francesca and etc hate colin when that's also clear as day?

these ships are always made light of, like they aren't built on this idea that colin is stupid or an idiot (either because he didn't know right away that penelope was in love with him or because they think he's not intellectually her equal), that he's the worst person in the world for saying a single thing out of turned (which he apologized for) or simply because he's 'boring'. Not to mention the fanfics where colin gets over-vilified to justify penelope choosing one of his siblings over him, making sure to add a final scene of him suffering alone and miserable as penelope lives her happily ever after with somebody else.

I see and understand that crackship is part of fandom culture but I don't engage with it when It comes to bridgerton because I'm not particularly interested in it, but I can't help but question: why penelope is a crackship wildcard, free to be shipped with whoever in the bridgerton universe (and yes that includes edmund and gregory), having had not one but TWO events created especially to inspire people to write and draw crackship content of penelope with everybody but the simple mention of colin with anyone else is enough to descend the entire fandom in discourse hell?

it's an interesting dichotomy for such a silly place.

My muse wants me to write a Bridgerton meets Princess Diaries story. Now I’m willing to try it. I just can’t pick who I want as Penelope’s male lead so to speak. My heart says Benedict (cause I love him so)

My muse is team Anthony. (Writing Anthony makes me very nervous though. I might have to make up a new love interest… 🧐🧐🧐 though I doubt that. I know Colin should be an option, but we get them in cannon. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe it will happen or not. Who knows but if it catches your muse interest and you write it. Let me know. I’ll read especially if it’s Benelope 💙💙💙
