I don’t think I’ve posted about this yet, but I’m participating in Fandom Trumps Hate this year!

In case you’ve never heard about it, FTH is a fandom auction where creators offer different kinds of fanworks in exchange for donations to one of the listed smaller non-profit organizations.

If you want to learn more about in general, here’s a link to their FAQs.

I’m offering a hockey fic of 5-10k, most likely Leafs but I’m open to others as well (just best check in with me first to make sure I can actually fulfill your request). 

For more info about my offer, and also the link to my bidding page in case you’re interested, look here.

There are also lots of other creators with some great offers so please take a look around!

Bidding is NOW OPEN!

The hour has struck, and bidding is now officially open for Fandom Trumps Hate 2020!

This year, we have almost 600 fan creators who have stepped up to offer almost 750 fanworks, in exchange for their high bidders’ donations to any of several nonprofits working to protect those who have been targeted by the current administration.

In its three prior auctions, FTH participants have come together to raise over $73,000. We’re hoping that this year’s auction will bring our combined total to $100K.

You can find all of this year’s offerings (almost 750 of them!) at fth2020offerings over on Dreamwidth. The stickied posts at the top of that blog should tell you everything you need to know about the logistics of bidding.

If you didn’t take advantage of browsing week – or even if you did! – you might find it helpful to look our our roundup of fan labor offerings and our roundup of “other” type digital fanworks.

And if you’re interested in tangible fancrafts, please visit the Fan Crafts Bazaar!

Bidding will remain open until Friday, February 28th at 8pm EST.

N.B. we use scripts to auto-open and auto-close the bidding forms, so it’s likely that some of the forms will open slightly early, and some of them will likely close a bit late. This is not ideal, but it’s also unavoidable; please read our bidding policies to see how we are handling it. If you happen to see a bid that was placed before 8am EST on the 24th, please email us to let us know so we can delete it.

Yay, thank you for letting me talk about stuff!

So, since it’s my latest work I’m going to give you some Director’s Commentary on a part of “Just A Fantasy”.

I think my favorite part of that story is the “I want you to want me” “I want you to love me” scene very close to the end because it’s the first time that Freddie is pretty much forced to truly confront what he actually wants from Willy (and Kappy, but that’s not really the focus of the scene). He doesn’t actually do anything about it because he immediately veers back to thinking it’s all just part of the scene for Willy, but the damage is done, so to speak.

Anyway, the thing I actually wanted to talk about in that scene is how I already had a very rough idea of it in my mind shortly after I started writing the fic. I always wanted the emotional climax of the story to be during a sex scene (sorry), and I always wanted to have a love confession of some sort that could be brushed off later on due to being said in a scene. It’s a bit of a microcosm of the whole fic, because the story kinda revolves around how they’re all having very real feelings about and reactions to each other, and just use the context of the scenes as plausible deniability.

The other thing I wanted to talk about with that scene is the title of the fic! I always wanted to do the thing where the title of the story actually appears in the text at a crucial moment, and in this case I actually wanted it to appear twice and have the second time mean so much more than the first. Now, admittedly, “Just a Fantasy” isn’t particularly creative in terms of titles, but I cared more about it fitting somewhat organically into the story rather than what it would sound like on its own. 

Oh, another thing, I originally wanted Willy to be the one who says “It’s just a fantasy, it doesn’t have to mean anything” in that scene, and echo what Freddie said to him during the first scene with all three of them together. I thought it would have good heartbreak potential to have Freddie be a bit hesitant about doing something that he would see as too exposing in an emotional way, and then have Willy explicitly give Freddie the plausible deniability he needs. It didn’t really work out that way because their emotional states during that scene weren’t right for it, but I figured this is the kind of Behind The Scenes info that could be interesting :D

Thank you so much for letting me ramble about my writing!

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

[vidrianawrites]

ok... so reading Just a Fantasy was literally the perfect way to start 2020 - i will now waste the rest of the year away reading it over and over again. happy new year to me!

Happy new year to you <3

I’m so happy you liked it enough to reread!

[vidrianawrites]

I wrote a new thing! A really long thing! I present:

Just a Fantasy (sequel to Ruin my Body (Ruin my Life))

Frederik Andersen/Kasperi Kapanen/William Nylander and variations thereoff | 70443 words | Explicit

Please mind the tags and the rating!

Not only are he and Willy not dating, Willy is also in a relationship with someone else. Someone else who Freddie doms on a fairly regular basis. Someone else who Willy would eventually like to dom as well.  

It doesn’t have to be a problem though, Freddie tries to convince himself. All he has to do is draw some boundaries and stick to them.

It turns out that some things are easier said than done.

[vidrianawrites]

Someone prettier (who works a little harder)

William Nylander (cisswapped), Gen (with background Willy/Pasta, Willy/Kappy) | 4716 words | Teen and up Audiences

Additional tags for: Character Study, AU - Always a different sex, Female Bisexual Character, no plot only feelings

Willy has foggy, pictureless memories, the sensation of cold air on her face as her dad skated her around an ice rink. The scary, slippery feeling of being put in skates the first time, when she could barely walk.

Willy spends her whole life wondering when things will fall into place.

Uhm, hello, I’m still alive.

I usually just use this blog to promote my own writing but since I haven’t posted anything in months I figured I might do a little update instead?

I haven’t been on social media much in the past few months for a variety of reasons, most of them mental health related, and I find it very difficult to stay engaged with hockey fandom when I’m not actively following things. Just watching the games just doesn’t give me the same emotional attachment, you know? And without emotions I can’t write anything.

Anyway, I mostly just wanted to say that I’m back! More or less! And will hopefully start posting things again soon!

So thanks for sticking with me, guys! I hope you’re all doing well <3

I awaken from my slumber to bring you smut! Technically I posted this last week, but that was on Anon so I couldn’t really talk about it. Anyway:

Ruin My Body (Ruin My Life) 

Kasperi Kapanen/Toronto Maple Leafs | 20136 words | Explicit

Please mind the rating and the tags!

“Here’s how this is gonna go,” Freddie addresses the room at large. “Kappy had a fucking fantastic game and he deserves a reward.” The chorus of agreement that breaks out at Freddie’s words sends a rush of heat through Kappy’s body. “The thing is, Kappy likes his rewards a bit rough."

There’s now a really amazing multivoice podfic of the first hockey fic I ever wrote, so if you liked that story please check it out and leave the performers some feedback!

You Can Leave Your Hat On (Podfic)

[vidrianawrites]

Remember how I asked for Halloween Prompts last year? Remember how I didn’t manage to fill a single one because they all accidentally grew over 1k?

Well, I finally finished one! A year too late, but better late than never, right?

Show Me Your Teeth

Valtteri Filppula/Brayden Point | 2525 words | General Audiences

“Does it feel good?” he asks, voice barely a whisper now. Heddy hums, looking thoughtful.

“Is that what this is about? You’re not scared of Val at all, are you?” Heddy teases and Brayden buries his burning face in his hands.

“Please, don’t,” he groans, as Heddy laughs at him again.

Valtteri Filppula is a vampire. Brayden has some feelings about that.

Happy Halloween!

hello! i just wanted to drop in & say that i couldn't put down my phone reading your good as gold series!! it was absolutely phenomenal & the willy/nicky arc in afterparty was so good, like i don't have words for how much i love it. no rush or pressure meant, as i saw you posted about not writing much during the off-season (totally understandable by the way), but is a sequel to afterparty with willy/nicky still a thought?

hi!

Thank you so, so much for the lovely compliment <3 I’ve been feeling kinda down about my writing lately (well, for that past five months really), so this was just such a great message to get and I really appreciate you sending it!

The sequel to Afterparty is definitely happening! I have a couple things planned out already, even if it’s not fully plotted yet, but I really want to write it, because I feel like Willy and Nicky have a lot to figure out with each other after Afterparty. It’s gonna take a while before I’ll have anything written our properly though. I’m happy to know there’s still interest though, so thank you for this!

(Sorry for the late response, tumblr neglected to inform me I had a message...)
