SURPRISE, it is that time already again! Please comment to this post if you are interested in participating in Oz Magi this year. Of course, you are not committing to anything by expressing interest. This is NOT the sign-up post. Things to keep in mind: if you make a request, you must also fulfill…

It’s time to think about Oz Magi! There’s a post at Livejournal (and its Dreamwidth mirror) to gauge the level of interest in the Oz fandom’s annual exchange of fanfic and fan art. Please leave a comment if you think you might be interested in participating in the fest this year! New fish, lifers, and in-betweeners are all welcome!

ALSO! There is another post HERE with some new admin information. Most exciting is the introduction of a NEW platform (Discord) for Oz discussion among fans. Check it out!

Spook Me Halloween Ficathon 2017

Sign-ups are currently underway for the 12th annual Spook Me Halloween Ficathon! The fest is run by the Oz fandom’s very own Ozsaur, and usually a few Oz fans participate.

Pick a creature you want to write about from the creature list and receive scary artwork prompts! New creatures for this year only are CLOWNS and SCARECROWS! Stories are due just before Halloween for maximum thrills!

ALL fandoms welcome, although more OZ fic would be OZSOME. You thought Toby was scared when he got to Oz? Imagine if he’d found out that Em City was run by Werewolves! Or that Vern was an Android as well as an Aryan! Or that the Dress Factory was overrun with Disease!

Stories can be Gen, Het, Slash, Femmeslash, even RPS/RPF. All ratings are accepted. No minimum or maximum word count.

Sign-ups end next Saturday, September 16. You can sign up on Livejournal HERE or Dreamwidth HERE. Go! Have fun! BOO!

Life of a Fanfiction Writer

Starting like:

Needing to write quickly before you forget:

Needing to remember all the small details:

Losing your train of thought:

When it’s going well:

Writing smut:

Not able to fill in the gaps from one scenario to the other:

Serious writers block:

Reading through finding you’ve gone wrong:

Finding all your spelling errors:

Finally Finished:

[dmsilvisart]

Rebooting for all my writer friends :)

This truth.

Fic: Unintended

I can’t believe it: I’m posting a story for the first time in almost five years. I’ve finished something I started at least seven years ago. And while it’s for a long-dead fandom, and it’s likely that all of four people in the world will read it, I don’t even care. I’m just so relieved to be writing again. It’s like waking up from some kind of coma.

Unintended

American Idol RPF, Ryan/Simon, rated Teen and Up, 26,279 words. When Simon announces he’s leaving American Idol, Ryan decides the time is finally right to do something he’s been wanting to do for a long time.

How could any of them have predicted what course their lives would take? Ryan remembers with fondness how he and Simon would go out then, still low-profile enough that nobody would notice them, how they could go anywhere without attracting any more attention than any two random people. Before the fame, and the speculation. Those were good times, those early days. It would take years before they’d learn to stop touching each other in public.

He had always wanted to be Dick Clark, and he had always believed he would get there someday. He’d just never really realized what it would cost.

But he still had Simon. At least for now. I’m leaving the show, I’m not leaving you, he had said before the news was made public, and Ryan had blinked back his tears and tried to believe it.

Read on AO3.
