I've got some great news. As this will be our final Snowbarry week for the foreseeable future we have decide to extend the event through to the new year!
You now have until January 1st to submit for Snowbarry Week! So if you have an unfinished one-shot lying around or an old sketch you've needed an excuse to finish, here is your chance! We look forward to closing out the year with you!
In the future, with the planet’s resources nearly depleted, Earth’s scientists find a wormhole into an alternate universe’s distant past. Seeing a hope to save what remains of humanity, they gather an expedition to explore and settle this potential refuge. Drs. Snow and Allen are among the first team of scientists sent through the wormhole. While discovering the many wonders of their new home, they also develop a bond with each other, one which may help them both heal from their pasts. But when they uncover a secret that may threaten the very existence of the expedition, they have to act quickly to figure out what’s really going on. Just what is their team leader, Eobard Thawne, hiding from them?
Barry decides to write a blog as The Flash, to let people into what he believes in/ thinks of, to connect with people more, and to deal with the awful things he’s seen. He starts to notice some comments by a user who seems to know exactly what he’s feeling. At first, the comments are anonymous, but when a user with the handle frostygyrl3 “likes” the post as soon as it’s posted it’s pretty clear she was the anonymous commenter as well and has similar comments to what the anonymous poster wrote. After a particularly difficult fight, Barry decides to send a direct message to frostygyrl3. Barry can see that the message is read, but there’s no response. A few weeks later, he gets a reply - just a few words. Something simple, brutal, that cuts deep. He replies back, and the two message each other quite a bit. Around the same time that Barry starts the new blog, he has a few run-ins with a troubled ice queen metahuman woman - Killer Frost - who is not exactly a full villain but isn’t exactly winning any points with CCPD either. Barry has no idea that the metahuman who he spars with out on the streets of Central City as The Flash is really the silly, soulful, and flirty girl he has been texting with for weeks. Who is Killer Frost - frostygyrl3 - and will Barry be able to chip through the ice and bring out the girl whose words he fell in love with? Or will she fall deeper into villainy and freeze out the people most important to her?

*a brief excerpt below:
Blog #1 - Hi!
written by The Flash!
Hi. Greetings from my super top-secret-speedster-lair!
Okay, so this is my first blog. Ever.
Wow, this is so weird. Like a diary entry the whole world wide web will see . . . but none of you know anything about me. Well, I mean I guess that’s why we’re here, right? You all know who I am . . . just not anything about me the person. (Obviously, I don’t intend to spill every single personal detail about who I actually am. That just wouldn’t be responsible as your friendly neighborhood scarlet speedster - yes, pun intended. No, my name is not Peter Parker - and I really don’t like spiders, but that is not my kryptonite. That’s right - I’m not Superman either. Wrong city - and planet.) I am probably, definitely, absolutely, outing myself as a big nerd right now . . .
Anyways, a good friend suggested I start this blog as a way to introduce myself to the citizens of Central City (and, well, the world I guess) so here I am. Also, another friend was super helpful in helping me set up mazes and labyrinths (is that even the plural of that word!?) of passwords and security measures because what would be the fun of being able to discover them so easily? So . . . yeah. Good luck hacking into this, supervillains. Ha.
Why are we here again? Oh yeah . . . introductions and such.
Hello, Central City (and the world.) I am The Flash - the red blur you’ve seen racing around town stopping pesky bad guys and evil metahumans from mischief and mayhem. My birth name isn’t important, just know that while I do have super speed, I’m just a regular person like all of you. I have family and friends that I care about just like you, so being discreet is important to me in order to keep them safe. My intention is to use my enhanced speed abilities to keep the city safe, and to help other metahumans use their abilities for good as well.
There has been a bit of a misunderstanding between The Flash and those who assist me, the Central City Police Department, and the people of Central City.
As he hit send on his first blog post, Barry sat back in the Star Labs desk chair and let out an exhausted sigh. He still wasn’t sure if it was a good idea - or if it wasn’t going to completely backfire or blow up in his face - but he’d assured Iris he’d at least try. The city - his city, his precious Central City - was really not loving The Flash right now. At all. Iris suggested that if he tried to reach out to the city in his own words, then maybe it would help smooth the speedbumps of those trying to accuse The Flash of ill intent.
“Barry - you’ve already reached over eight million views!!” Iris shouted from the other side of the room in front of her laptop.
“Oh my god . . . this was a bad idea . . . why did I let you talk me into this?”
It didn’t take long for the comments to start flooding in and to be honest it was a bit intimidating. Iris assured him it was a good thing - a great thing even - that so many people were already so interested in the blog and what “The Flash” had to say.
Most of the comments he glossed over without really reading - especially the harsh ones that just spewed hate and criticism toward The Flash and all superheroes in general. There was one comment in particular, though, that caught his eye right away. It was from an anonymous user, but the words they used felt more personal to Barry than the other comments…

A.N. I'm sure I probably won't continue this anytime soon, but one never knows.
Barry & Caitlin deleted scenes + Grant and/or Danielle bloopers
Password: pyin
Made for @simplysnowbarry throwbacksnowbarry22 event. I thought about doing a gifset of deleted scenes but decided a vid was easier, so here's my first The Flash vid. 🎉 I was kind of expecting my first Flash vid would be an AU vid instead but I hope this clip vid is still appreciated. It has deleted scenes from Seasons 1, 2 and 4 that feature Barry & Caitlin; some are cut down from the full scene to stop it being overly long.
Be warned there are references to past Caitlin/Ronnie and also to Iris & Barry S1 friendship. There's also a section from 1.43 to 1.54 that has some flashing effects from the temporary CGI in the scene + some flashing lights at 10.30-10.33 on the Vimeo version above (9.04-9.07 on the youtube version).
Most are S1 because we got a lot that season. There's some other scenes they were technically both in but I omitted since they were just in a ensemble shot without any interactions or looks to each other. I also decided to do a bonus section of blooper scenes that had one or both of Grant and Danielle in, that covers bloopers for S1-6.
I also included a S2 deleted scene that Caitlin isn't in but references Caitlin about Barry's guilt about the singularity in 2x01 - that scene is blocked on the youtube version of the vid due to copyright, along with about another 40 seconds of the bloopers I had to cut out over there, but this Vimeo version is the full version. For the bloopers, there's a lot of dancing, silly faces and their bleeped out bits. Hope people enjoy.
Barry pulled frost close. Her heart sped up at being this close to him.
“I'm sick of this, Frost. You’ve been trying to get rid of girls I like. Either you want me, or you don’t. What’s it gonna be?!” Barry said.
His eyes did not reflect his anger, they were instead pleading for frost to admit her feelings towards him.
“I wish I could give you an answer that makes sense but relationships are complicated.” Frost said loudly, her eyes flickered toward Barry’s lips, Barry noticed.
“We’ll I’m gonna keep you here, in my arms until you admit you’re into me. Nothing complicated about that.”
Barry kept Frost in his arms. The chill he felt did not deter him, Frost stared at him and he stared at her. Frost was stubborn, but it would take a matter of time before she confessed… Barry knew it. He just knew it…

Caitlin Snow is out of town for Valentine’s Day. So, her boyfriend, Barry Allen, sends her with a valentine’s gift to open since they’ll be apart for the holiday. He asks her to record her reaction to opening her present, but little did she know it was all a part of a grander plan.
*Gets a wee bit dirty at times but it’s all just talk, really. Still, if you’re not comfortable with that please don’t read <3 Hope you all love it!
