THE PERFECT GIFT. A GIRL TRAPPED IN A BOX. SHE ONLY DANCES WHEN SOMEONE ELSE OPENS THE LID, WHEN SOMEONE ELSE WINDS HER UP. IF THIS IS A STORY I’M TELLING, I MUST BE TELLING IT TO SOMEONE. THERE’S ALWAYS SOMEONE, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO ONE. I WILL NOT BE THAT GIRL IN THE BOX. / ind. june osborne/offred of “the hanadmaid’s tale” by anna-belle.

Her eyes opened. She focused on me. Then she whispered, with no slurring: “You did this, Lydia. You’ll hang for it.” Her expression was both vindictive and triumphant: finally she had an accusation that would stick, and my job was very nearly hers. “You’re tired,” I said. “Go back to sleep.” She closed her eyes again.

Looking for a Writing Partner

Hello! My name is Caitlin. I have recently returned from long hiatus from tumblr due to intensive schooling, but now I am back and ready to be creative! My current obsession is The Handmaid’s Tale, and I am looking for a writing partner to either do a character based or turn taking collaboration on an OC fanfiction series for this series. I particularly would like to write with a pair where one of us writes the perspective of the handmaid, and the other writes as the wife. Here is the two main premises I am working with:

A Traitorous Compromise

A young lesbian woman is picked up during the battles in Chicago and is sent to become a Handmaid. However, upon her first posting, she finds it impossible to complete the ceremony. She cannot accept the idea of a man invading her body and does everything she can to avoid being seeded by her Commander. When the wife catches on, she takes an interest in the girl, and learning through subtle means that the girl is a gender traitor, she devises a plan to make her handmaid feel more at ease. But it will require getting their Commander to take them to the most sinful place in Gilead... Jezabel’s.

Based on the background shots from Season 1 Episode 8: Jezabel’s 35:00-35:25

Silenced

A Deaf college student attending Gaulladet University in Washington D.C. when it is overthrown by the Gilead Crusades. She is brought in to be a handmaid, and cut off from anyone who speaks her language, inadvertently becomes an inspiration for the vow of silence that brings about the Ring and the Veil. But when she is placed with a sympathetic mistress who attempts to learn her language, she finds access to an underground world where she helps the veiled girls find their voice again.

I am a sign language interpreting student, and as I watched the show, I couldn’t help but wonder what Gilead did with all of the “disabled” people. Certainly they wouldn’t disregard the value of a young fruitful woman for something so simple. This is the tangent world that came about from those musings.

I am also interested in co-writing a more generalized OC plotline withing the Handmaid’s universe. If any of these spark your interest, please hit me up!!! I have extensive experience writing in roleplays and fanfiction for the 100, Hunger Games, The Mortal Instruments, Fringe, and more! You can find examples on my blogs, although I apologize that I don’t have them sorted from my other posts well. 

I am so excited to get back in the writing game! My creativity is sparked, and I really need a good collaborator to help kindle it!

WELCOME TO THE REPUBLIC OF GILEAD !!

a group au verse based on the novel & the hulu show “the handmaid’s tale”.

You remember years ago when you were free, you actually had a life. You had a say in things. You ignored the uprising. You thought nothing would happen. And guess what? You were wrong.

The United States of America is gone and in its’ place is a Christian fundamentalist regime focused on violence and the oppression of women. Everything you know is gone. You are stuck here in this patriarchal society and it is absolute hell- don’t let anyone hear you say that. In the Republic of Gilead, the Bible is the truth. It must be followed and you must follow it, to do otherwise will get you killed or sent to the Colonies, which is a death sentence in itself.

Even the highest ranking members of society are not truly safe from death.

The Rules

#1.  Please understand that this is going to be a highly triggering verse. There will be mentions of rape, abuse, violence, and other triggering topics. It is preferred that muns be over the age of 18. #2.  No OOC drama, plain and simple. IC drama is totally fine. #3.  This is a mutli-fandom verse and OCs are welcome! Canon characters from the show and novel are also welcome! If your character is a supernatural being, please make sure they are human for this verse. #4.  Duplicate faceclaims will not be accepted. The only exception to this rule is if both muns agree that their muses will be twins. #5.  Make sure you review all the links provided at the end of the post that lead to the fanmade wiki pages. They provide great information on the social classes and how the Republic of Gilead works. #6.  Once you are accepted, please make a post that contains the little application below and your muse’s biography, please have the biography be more than 2 paragraphs and contain information on how they got into their current situation. Juicy details are appreciated!! Tag your post (and all of your verse related posts) as #gileadgroupverse. #7.   Even though this verse will be filled with super serious topics, us muns can still have fun and be goofy! Go ahead and get to know each other, don’t be shy. A group Discord might be set up for OOC chatting, it just depends on what the opinions are regarding that sort of thing. #8.  Let me know if you have any questions!

The Application (use the submit box to send the application in!) 

The application is very simple, use the small paragraph below and fill in the items in brackets [ ]. Keep the brackets in place, just replace the items inside! The list of social classes and households are at the end of this post, use those to guide you.

I will message you when you are accepted and then you can post a longer biography in the tag #gileadgroupverse. I will put these little paras in this post to keep track of the muses, the paras may be edited slightly for easier reading and will include links to the muse’s full bio.

The Muses

The Socioeconomic Classes of the Republic

The men, of course, have the ability to become the highest ranking members of Gilead. They have three classes, all of them better than the women’s. The men’s classes include the following:

The Guardians: peacekeepers, guards, and servants. The Angels: soldiers of Gilead’s army. The Commanders: the highest ranking class, they are lawmakers and politicians.

The women are much less fortunate, though they have more classes.

The Econowives: wives of the poor and lowest ranked men of the Republic. The Handmaids: the most important class but they are treated the worst. They bear children for the Commanders and their Wives. The Marthas: servants for the high-ranking families. The Aunts: the women responsible for training, punishing, and even executing Handmaids. They run the Rachel and Leah Center where the Handmaids are train and sometimes live. The Wives: the highest class for women, they are married to the Commanders.
