i was thinking this morning about how i categorize fanfic authors that i enjoy like AKC breeds and decided to share my rubric with you:
the specialist: this author has a favorite kink or trope and has written 80% of the content in that tag. you know exactly what youâre getting. they have A Brandâąïž. no matter what other traits they display, dedicated rare pair authors belong here.
the chocolate box: essentially the exact opposite. this author will try anything once. they have 80+ works in the fandom with no discernible pattern. the shortest one is 268 words and the longest is well over 100k. this breed of author may or may not be related to:
the renaissance fan: theyâve written three things in your fandom: your favorite fic, your notp, and a bizarre crossover with a show youâve never heard of. you hit âexpand fandoms listâ on their author page and have to scroll down twice to reach the bottom. whenever you curse the fact that you canât legally commission fic writers, this is the author youâre thinking about.
the horn dog: theyâre here for one thing and one thing only. if someoneâs dick is not in another characterâs mouth within 500 words, they apologize for it in the authorâs notes. they have one (1) g-rated fic.
the rookie: this writer is usually young, new to fandom, or just got a beta-reader for the first time. their fics are a little all over the place, quality-wise, but youâre excited whenever their name pops up because their unique voice gets stronger every time. you feel a personal investment in their development, like youâre an old man reading the local high school sports page and saying âthis kidâs the one to watch.â
the live streamer: the most prolific author in the fandom. their works are all over the front page when you sort by kudos. you have no idea how they generate this much work, and have seriously wondered if they have access to an extra-dimensional time portal. their stories are usually un-betaâd and the characterization varies wildly, but their best works are inspired and youâve read them 30 times.
the cryptid: this one comes out of nowhere every two years, drops the best fanfic youâve ever read, and disappears. fifteen months after you left a three paragraph comment about how they changed your life, you get a message in your inbox that just says âthanks.â
the novelist: we talk about âfiling off the serial numbersâ when someone reworks their most popular story to pitch it as an original novel; this author somehow does the reverse. their fics are excellent, usually long-reaching multi-chapter AUs that have almost nothing to do with the on-screen characters except their names. iâd like to extend my personal thanks to this breed of author because itâs the closest i get to reading an actual book.
the reunion tour: this author wrote some of the most popular works in the fandom, but either moved on to k-pop or burned out when canon took a turn for the worse. they put out one new thing a year, often an old draft thatâs been haunting them from under the floorboards. their last six authorâs notes all say they never thought theyâd write this pairing again and âthis will probably be the last time.â
the issue with writing for yourself is that you will get sucked into rereading your own fic over and over and pretend itâs âediting,â but really youâre just reading because itâs exactly what you want to read. because you wrote it. for you.
This is post 2 of 2 for my collection of after-dark fics written for the event run by @mcytbattleship! This group of fics is all the nsfw stuff I wrote for every other fandom (part 1 was Unstable Universe only), which amounted to over 25k of the 58k words I had written in total for this event.
Under the cut you'll find the descriptions, summaries, and links to Ao3 for 7 fics across Life Series, Lifesteal SMP, MCSR (Midoffs s1), RPF, and VSMP.

Summary:
âSo.â Scott leaned forward in his chair, leaning his elbows on the little wooden table between them and plopping his chin onto his hands. âAre you wearing it right now?â
The overworld was refreshingly warm and humid. They were back on the Lifesteal server⊠somewhere. The sun was high in the sky, and the vibrant greens all around them had never looked so alive. It was a welcome change after the oppressive choking heat and redness of the Nether; it was a welcome change after the endless chill of the End.
The server was being petty, though. Rek and Woogie had only left to visit Rekâs own server for a few hours; hardly enough time for the Lifesteal server to care. Or⊠so he wouldâve thought, if they hadnât just portalled in from the world hub and landed in the middle of a vast and unknown meadow.
Minute had been expecting their plan to go wrong somewhere, somehow. With that many moving parts, that many layers? Catching the dragon in an enchantment array and suspending her over the arrival platform apparently had not been crazy enough. So, yeah. Honestly, theyâd been asking for it.
Just⊠he didnât think theyâd been expecting anything this bad.

Summary:
He stepped forward, incredibly aware of Jordan's gaze on him, and reached out to access his Player code.
The Captainâs code was⊠intense. He didn't know if it was a Champion thing, or maybe a dragon hybrid thing, but it was so hard to not be overwhelmed or, or distracted, or-
No. He was resolute. He was unaffected. He was completely unbothered by the intimacy of touching another Player's code. He was fully oblivious to the suggestive nature of inserting anything into another Player's code. He was doing Admin things, being an Admin, it was fine, everything was totally fine!
âŠSo why did he feel like both the server and Jordan were laughing at him now.

Summary:
The first flare of arousal had been faint and easily ignored; dismissed as a fluke and shrugged off alongside the sharp tingle of electricity. He'd taken some fall damageâbarely enough to trigger the shock. The hunt had only just begun, however, and within the minute he found himself cornered in a cave and trying desperately to hold back his noises as each barehanded punch landed from Dev and Baablu's players sent a vicious shockwave of pain and pleasure and panic through his system.

Summary:
Pearl woke with a start, lifting her head from a soft down pillow. It was dim, wherever she was. She was lying on a massive bed in a room she did not recognize: clearly a bedroom, with the bed in the centre of the wall and a wardrobe and vanity set across from her, heavy velvet curtains draped over tall windows and two doors: one wooden and ajar, and the other⊠heavy iron.
She was not alone. She could smell them, the other person: a young male wolf. A werewolf like herself.
âYouâre awake,â came a voice. âThatâs good. The Lord Master said youâd likely be out for another hour yet, but youâre strong, arenât you?â

Summary:
"Hush, Pyro," Scott commanded. "I told you not to speak."Â
Pyro froze in place. His place slid away from his mind. Scott was here. Scott was behind him, his sire, Sire was watching-
With graceful movements Scott appeared in front of Pyro and laid a soft and pale hand on his shoulder. The weight of his intent was greater than any pressure from his palm. Pyro sank to his knees. The world settled with his touch.
âGood boy,â Scott murmured. âNow keep your mouth busy with something else.â
This is post 1 of 2 for my collection of after-dark fics written for the event run by @mcytbattleship! This group of fics is all the nsfw stuff I wrote for Unstable Universe, which amounted to over 25k of the 58k words I had written in total for this event.
Under the cut you'll find the descriptions, summaries, and links to Ao3 for 7 fics featuring a variety of the UU cast! In no particular order: Wemmbu, FlameFrags, LettuceK, Deputy_Ace, ParrotX2, TheobaldTheBird, Boosfer, MinuteTech, Eggchan, and Swight.
Boosfer wanted to cry. He wanted to curl up and go to sleep and skip ahead by a whole week. He wanted to rip something apart; he wanted to sink his claws into flesh and taste blood on his tongue. But most of all, he wanted a warm body beneath him with a sweet voice begging in his ears.
âIâd rather die standing,â Ace said, âthan live kneeling.â
For a brief moment, Lettuce felt that his entire body had become ice. Then he tore his gaze from Aceâs and stepped to the side, gesturing the sergeant forward.
One smooth strike was all it took: a swordâs blade through the chest, sliding between the chestplate and backplate and up between the ribs to sever the heart from the body.
Lettuce caught Aceâs body as he- as it fell. No one dared speak.
Wemmbu stared at him, somehow meeting his gaze through the black cloth blindfold covering Flameâs eyes. Then he dipped his chin. âGet on your knees, Flame,â he said softly.
Flame didnât think twice. He dropped down immediately, netherite plate cracking against the stone tile of Wemmbuâs floor.
Vol. 5 entry #4:
Library is restored. Iâve set up my own reading desk.
Minute just told me that heâll be starting his annual mating cycle and apologised in advance. Iâm not sure what for. He should know Iâm very well-equipped and very used to the intricacies of demonic mating cycles. Unless Wemmbuâs are outliers, in which case I really wish heâd given me more information. Will have to observe and report back. Might be an interesting side-project.
Vol. 5 entry #7:
Minute also gets cranky. At least he doesnât whine as much as Wemmbu does.
Vol. 5 entry #8:
Holy void, I think Minute whines as much as Wemmbu does about his cycle. Disregard previous entry.
Heâd made it. Heâd made it through the day of travel. A full dayâday and nightâbecause after beating FlameFrags down to bedrock and taking his title as the strongest on the server⊠nowhere in the overworld had felt safe.
Which- obviously, that was a ridiculous thought. He was safe anywhere he wanted to go. It was everyone else who shouldnât feel safe from him.
It was just his stupid dumb mating cycle making him all skittish or whatever. It was because heâd been too busy to waste time making himself a nest, and now his hindbrain with its instincts dialled up to eleven was screaming at him to find someplace safe. He didnât need to find someplace safe. He was powerful. No one would dare come at him.

Summary:
âWhat the fuck are you doing here.â
The cold tone was immediately and terribly familiar. Flame halted in his tracks, cursed the twitch in his hand as he stopped himself from reaching for his sword, and turned to face his old teacher.
âSwight,â he greeted the mercenary calmly. It was clear he hadnât expected to run into Flame. That was good; Flame hadnât planned to run into Swight. So long as they were on even footing, this shouldnât be too bad.
Parrot was drifting off, a warm and solid presence that settled the instincts in Theoâs chest. Surely, a mid-morning nap wouldnât be a terrible idea. He was tempted to hold Parrot in his arms like this forever, butâŠ
That was the last thing Parrot needed, and he knew it. Instead, heâd make sure he was always there as his shield, or his sword, or his shadow. Held at an armâs length, but never left behind.
What's that, you ask? MCYT Battleship is a creation event spanning about 4+ weeks involving over 200 creators in minecraft YT fandom spaces, run by @mcytbattleship (go check out their blog for more context and a bunch of amazing works from other participants!). There's something uniquely special about the event's ability to bring so many people together in a hectic, fast-paced event and produce so many wonderful creations.
A big part of the event is crafting up creations to gift to others, and receive amazing gifts in turn! This post will feature all my sfw fics I created for the event, and I'll be posting my nsfw fics separately.
Under the cut are the summaries, descriptions and links to Ao3 for 5 works featuring Hermitcraft, Vampires SMP, Unstable Universe, and MCSR!
My Heart Is Held In Your Hollow Chest (0.3k | Gen | Hermitcraft)
Character study in poetry format, looking at Welsknight's relationship with his old armour set (aka past mc skin). No warnings. I also recorded myself performing a spoken word version.
The Face of Hunger (0.5k | Teen | Unstable Universe)
An exploration of Wemmbu's relationship with death and near-death experiences, as he's starving while in the LAW's solitary prison cell.
oh ruin take my sin (hold me warm in your consolation) (0.7k | Teen | Vampires SMP)
Character study of Legundo: we follow him through his death, and through the first hours of his undead existence as a new fledgling vampire. Additional warnings for suicidal ideation and animal death.
A New Pet (1.9k | Teen | Vampires SMP)
Shubble finds Avid, fully transformed into a demon-creature, and decides that he'll be her pet. Big themes of dehumanization and body horror but it's from Shelby's pov so everything's fine and normal! (this is a lie)
How to Speedrun (When Your Admin Has Turned You Into A Spider) (3.8k | Gen | Minecraft Speedrunning and House Builder Gang SMP)
What is says on the tin! Rekrap is turned into a spider and goes and wins the game, despite the many hurdles he has to overcome while existing in the body of a giant spider.
"What do you believe in, Shelby?" "Everything. All of it. Until I'm proven otherwise."
Final illustration based on session two, hoo boy, onto session 3! Wanted to make something that looks like a night vision cryptid sighting v!Shelby would delight in despite the horrors catching up to her.
An aged collection of paintings, discovered within a hidden room in the ruins of Castle Oakhurst.
Sources, individual close-ups, and additional commentary under readmore; special thanks to @floweroflaurelin
This has been an absolute labor of love, including hundreds of hours of portrait and frame hunting, sizing, editing, and recoloring.
INFINITE thanks to Sabira for your assistance - your edits to Scott and especially to Ren are probably the only reason this has seen the light of day <3
All of these are real portraits & real frames, chosen to fit as closely as possible to the appearance, narrative tone, & themes of each character. If you wonder if any particular material/shape choice or similarity was intentional: Yes it was. If anyone does anything else with these, wants transparent versions of anything, or has questions about how/why certain things are the way they are, ask away :D
Session 7 has more Latin, so naturally I had to try my hand at this phrase too! Spoilers under the cut:
"Hoc vinculum tibi dirumpo mala creatura <Player's Name>." Hmm red text rather than warm buttery gold? Written by a vengeful hand? Not to mention the absence of other requirements? Very spooky.
Also, the change-up in word order has me intrigued! I'd love to hear from those of you who do know Latin: what kind of influence might it have on the meaning here? What could have informed the decisions?
With my own addition of punctuation (and filling in the name, because I grew tired of staring at [name]):
'For you I cause this chain to shatter, evil creature, Scott!' Or, 'Owen! Evil creature, I make this bond break apart for you!'
Couldn't help myselfâI paused the moment I saw that Latin phrase while watching Legundo's session 6 video (spoilers below):
"Voluntate mea hoc nefandum vinculum abicio." Do we need to know what this means? Not at all. I don't think anyone does, to be honest; not even the characters. But my brain has decided to focus on figuring it out anyway!
Now... disclaimer, I don't know much about Latin. What I do know is how to break words down into morphemes and produce a gloss because I'm a big language nerd:
Obviously, most people aren't going to make heads or tails of this string of various letters so here! This should make more sense :D
"Voluntate mea hoc nefandum vinculum abicio."
"By my intent I cast away this impious bond." Or, "I cast this wicked bond away with my will."
