We Sisters Three

We Sisters Three is a fanfiction reboot of Charmed where the sisters are not just witches but brujas. This space is for the story and for that still love the original.

[wesistersthreecharmed]

hello. In your bio it says "not just witches but brujas". Do you mind explaining what brujas are, because only thing that I could find was that it's a Spanish word translating to "witch". Is bruja (appologies if that's not the singular form) the same as witch, but you used the Spanish word to show that they are from somewhere spanish-speaking, or are they different?

Yes, bruja is spanish for 'witch' but also I guess I use it to link my version of the Charmed Ones to their Latinidad while also exploring the idea of ancestral magic and Santeria in later seasons. <3 I love this question. Thank you!

I need more shows about supernatural and fantasy with a black main character specifically witches

[wesistersthreecharmed]

scorpio moon. bad bunny hips. fanfic bruises.

things i do in fandom that shouldn’t be revolutionary but apparently are, vol. 987: “if i called you a filthy baby, it was a blessing."

i write fanfic like a rosary. each paragraph is a prayer. each draft is a confession. each chapter is an altar i build out of grief, joy, and being a little bit messy on purpose

sometimes i write unhinged mess in fandom and fanfic spaces just to see if it passes the vibe check. sometimes it does. one day it might get me blocked. either way, that’s a win

i once called someone a filthy, dirty baby in the most loving, unhinged, queer-coded way possible on discord and they tone-policed me like they didn’t have gay slash fanfic bookmarked in tab four and yet don't understand gay vernacular nor the lived experience of what it costs to be gay in the real world

i write with discipline because that’s what survival taught me, but i will never shame anyone for writing when they can. that’s a blessing, not a baseline. authors who complain about how they can't write through their writer's block work my nerve sometimes but i also get it. and a lot of times it's privilege to have no urgency to create and privilege that allows you to have a voice in the first place. take 15 minutes out of your life and just stare at the blank screen and WRITE. it can be hot garbage, mamaww. but it will be addicting. i promise

i twerk to bad bunny on my writing breaks. sometimes i cry to beyoncé. sometimes i sob to whitney houston. sometimes i spiral into a rewrite with just the sound of my own chewing and the ghost of my ex yelling “you always make things too personal” and "it's not about you." o i'm sorryyyy, yes it is

i write for free. you read for free. we heal in the comments section

sometimes you ko-fi me and that doesn’t pay my rent but it does buy me a matcha, a regretful cigarette, or the ability to believe i am not screaming into the void

i pledge to ko-fi other writers, gif makers, and artists at least once a week. if i read your fic and it saved me from having a breakdown in the middle of a family dinner? yeah babe, that’s worth $3. and also, people want to say bUt WhAt aBoUt hoomans and then you've never put your money where your mouth is and never paid an artist for their labor or their time. i have and their expensive and i'm a paid artist too and i'm also expensive so shut up, don't tell me how i get to create my work when i do this for free. i give i give i give but i also bite

i was born in november. i am a scorpio. i am made of spite, tenderness, memory, and a terrifying sense of justice. i am both vengeance and bedtime

i never watched breaking bad or game of thrones. they pushed that boy out the window in ep 1 and i said no thank you. i chipped my tooth on a razor scooter in 2001. i’ve seen enough violence and i don't need meth to be a part of the equation especially as a gay. and i oop-

i think barbie was margot’s best work but let’s be honest: america ferrera carried that film on her back and that monologue was one of the best in any medium. i said what i said

i don’t get the world’s obsession with margot robbie when reese witherspoon invented crying in the rain in full business casual. she invented walking in legally blonde so actresses who look like margot robbie could crawl

i don't write smut. not because i’m prude. because i'm a dainty little daisy who believes almost is foreplay and tension is holy

i do not yuck your yum. but you better not yuck mine, especially if your fic tags include "morally complex," "dubcon," or anything with "dark" and you’re still out here calling yourself the morality police

i don’t write ocs as mains. i write canon characters like they’re possessed by my trauma and speaking directly to god

i think friends was never funny. laugh tracks are psychological warfare. i will die on that hill

i use fandom as a place of cultural reclamation. if i’m writing magic, it’s brujería. if i’m writing witches, they’re named after my ancestors. i am building altars in fiction because the real ones are always burning

i believe fandom is not your safe space just because you say it is. fandom is someone else’s safe space too. don’t be a colonizer about it

i’m a gay, bisexual man who lives with microaggressions, chronic pain, crippling anxiety like they’re potholes and still writes fanfic because it's the only place i get to live without apology

i don’t like harry potter fandom. not because you can’t hold nuance, but because you refuse to. you can hold “jk rowling is dangerous” and “remus lupin helped me survive puberty” at the same time but you can't see two sides in other arguments. you just don’t want to and you need to be okay with it. it's selective and it's okay when it's hurting trans bodies but i can't wait for all the gifs that will pop up with the new series. go off, wizards. wands are lazy, wizards should pick up a broom. (that's a reference to my fanfic) and has anyone written a fanfic where hermione is black because i want to read it. and maybe i'm also part of the problem but i know where to draw the muthatuckin' line

i believe in access, not aesthetic. if someone’s writing is “weird,” it might be because they’re neurodivergent or because english isn’t their first language or because they are WRITING THROUGH GRIEF LIKE A REVELATION

i think the world isn’t ready for the fact that streaming also as bad for the environment as server-based AI. we don’t want truth. we want convenience

i am not afraid to write religious trauma, generational magic, and queer love in the same paragraph

i write long. i write lyrical. i write for the kid i was before i knew the word queer and for the man i’m becoming who will never say sorry for crying over a line that sounds like home

i write because it’s how i remember. how i rebel. how i reach. how i love. how i give. how i care

if i called you a filthy baby, that was love

if i wrote you into a fic without asking, that was revenge

if i compliment your prose in the tags, that is a contract. we are friends now

if you gatekeep, tone-police, or silence someone else's process, you’re not the fandom sheriff. you’re actually the fandom colonizer

why are there so many sinners fanfic and not enough of the voices that matter in those spaces? and i oop- again

and if you’re still pressed about how i write or what i write or why i write, maybe it’s not about the fic

maybe it’s about you

and if you made it this far, congrats. the empanada is warm, the vibe passed inspection, and the chapter is almost done. blessed be.

bitches.

dirty filthy babies.

i can't wait or that to be in my fanfic so i can side-eye that mod for posting extensively in their no dead dove whatever as i post in their discord my chapter updates BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I'M ON DISCORD ANYWAY BECAUSE I'M TOO OLD

and tired

and queer

and puerto rican

and overworked and underpaid

arts EDUCATOR as my profession

PAID PROFESSIONAL

working with people from ALL BACKGROUNDS and walks of life

and i care too much about other people

and about access

and those without access and not willing to speak up because i understand that too

and sometimes if i have to be that person that tears down pillars of power to build something better

then so be it

because i am one

but i will never let the bastards grind me down which bring me to

yes, i think elisabeth moss is weird for her personal views but yes i also like handmaid's tale but yes it emotionally burned me out and yes i also enjoyed her in top of the lake and that other spy show and yes i think that two things can be true at once and i think fandom isn't ready for certain conversations because they don't want to be called out but that's not what i'm doing.

i'm calling you in.

a little reflection never hurt someone

and the mirror is dusty and crusty with out dated beliefs and systems that were meant to push people like me out.

i am taking up space.

i'm here, i'm queer, and i won't disappear, along with my other CHARMING personality traits

AND I'M ALSO DEBATING WRITING A KENDRA BASED AU AND IT DOESN'T MEAN I LOVE CHARMED ANY LESS BUT I LOVE SMG AND I'M SORRY THAT MEANS BUFFY MIGHT HAVE TO STAY DEAD.

Charmed fanfic

Julian McMahon gifs for tax because I love him and literally screamed when I heard the news. I was mid sentence writing Cole Dialogue

[denimoveralls]

This fic has actually become a series now. It's a crossover of the 1998 series and the 2018 series. (Excludes the comics). Wyatt's daughter travels to another universe to start a new life after nearly destroying her own. She quickly learns that destiny doesn't care which universe you're in.

Slow romance with Harry Greenwood. Cole is also in this fic <3

[wesistersthreecharmed]

SUPPORT THIS WRITER! <3 GOOD CHARMED FANFIC WRITERS ARE HARD TO COME BY!!! LIFT THEM UP, AMPLIFY THEIR VOICE.

[chastainromanova]

ai does not belong in creative spaces. period.

[wesistersthreecharmed]

This is exactly what I mean. Ableism disguised as gatekeeping creative spaces. It's exhausting being a compassionate human being sometimes.

[chimso-writes]

I find it real funny that people criticize fanfics but haven't written a damn thing in their life.

It's like criticizing a homemade cooked meal meanwhile you burn every kitchen you enter.

[wesistersthreecharmed]

Thank you.

Let Fanfiction Be Radical

Fanfiction has always been political.

Even when we don’t call it that, it is. Writing into the margin. Imagining queer love. Re-centering forgotten characters. Reclaiming ancestral power. Reshaping the stories we were denied has always been an act of resistance. Even when it feels like play. Especially then.

I’ve been thinking about a recent wave of conversation around AI in fandom. A lot of the concerns being raised are valid. The fear of creative theft, of disconnection, of losing the heart of what makes fandom special. I feel that. But I also noticed something in the way the conversation is unfolding. The way it sometimes leans into binaries, into “real” and “not real,” into who belongs and who doesn’t.

That struck something in me. Not because I disagree with the importance of protecting creative work. But because I believe protection without reflection turns into gatekeeping.

Fandom is intellectual. It always has been. But it’s also emotional. Embodied. Lived. It’s built by people who don’t always have access to academic institutions or publishing opportunities. People who write in their second or third language. People who are disabled, tired, undocumented, working three jobs. People who come to fanfiction because it’s the only place they’ve ever been allowed to create.

I know this because I was a queer Puerto Rican boy writing Animorphs fanfiction and roleplaying on AOL Kids message boards when I was twelve. I got torn apart for my grammar, my spelling, my ideas. But I stayed. Because I needed to imagine a version of myself that lived. Because for some of us, this is the lifeline.

That’s why I wrote We Sisters Three. I’ve always loved Charmed. But I needed a version that reflected me. So I reimagined the sisters as Puerto Rican women navigating a lineage of magic that had been sealed, suppressed, rewritten into something more acceptable. Because ancestral magic is often seen as dangerous. As impure. I know what that feels like.

This story doesn't come from a generator. It comes from grief. From memory. From questions I’ve been asking my whole life. And like many writers who get paid to write (which I do as well), I use tools sometimes. To help me think through a scene. To reorganize a tangle of thoughts. To support my voice when language feels distant. That doesn’t make my story less mine. It doesn’t erase the heart.

And that’s the thing. When we talk about AI, or access, or what counts as writing, we have to be careful about how we hold the conversation. Not because critique isn’t necessary. But because sometimes our fear of harm makes us forget who we’re standing beside.

We can talk about harm without drawing hard lines around belonging. We can hold boundaries without reinforcing walls that were never meant for us to begin with.

Because here’s what I see too and this might hurt a little, but I need you to consider it.

We still celebrate and contribute to the Harry Potter fandom, long after the author made her views on trans women violently clear and has supported legislation that hurts trans women and their bodies. We still write fics, build AUs, reclaim space in that world. And somehow, we find nuance for that. We find ways to reimagine, to take the story back. We say we’ve separated the art from the artist. That this space is ours now.

And maybe it is.

But I think about that when I see people writing entire posts about how AI is killing creativity or how using support tools means someone isn’t a “real writer.” I think about how quickly we lose compassion when someone’s writing process doesn’t look like our own. How many people can still find empathy for a billion-dollar franchise and none for a disabled writer who used a tool to finish their paragraph.

And then I think what are we really protecting?

Let me say this gently. Sometimes, in our effort to defend the art we love, we draw lines that push people out. We speak from frustration, from burnout, from fear of being erased. And that’s real. But it’s worth asking who we might be erasing in the process.

Because I see AO3 as a sacred space too. I know what it has done for writers. I know how much it has protected. I believe in it. I upload there. I read there. I love what we’ve built. But it’s not immune to the patterns of the larger world. Fandom is not a utopia. It is still a mirror.

And sometimes that mirror needs cleaning.

Because what I’m seeing right now in fandom is a lot of fear. And where there’s fear, there’s often flattening. We’re not having the full conversation. We’re skipping the part where access is political, too.

Is AI art less valid when it's the only tool someone with no hand mobility can use? What about a fanfic writer who only writes in Spanish, but knows their work won’t be read unless it’s in English? What about someone who wants to write a Buffy AU where Buffy dies and Kendra lives. Yeah, I said it because I want to READ IT. I want to read about how a Black girl from Jamaica finally gets to be the main character but no one else does because it doesn’t center the white one?

Who gets to call that work real?

Because yes. Some people are pasting full AI-generated stories into AO3 with no care, no voice, no labor of their own. That’s not okay. And yes. Artists deserve compensation. Writers deserve to be read with reverence. We pour hours and soul into this work for free. We give. We give. We give.

I think about how many people write slash without reckoning with what it means to be queer in real life.

How many Black Panther fics use T’Challa as a side character or a narrative prop.

How new fandoms like Sinners grow and draw in white creators who want to play in those worlds but don’t always enter with care.

And how often, when someone says, hey, this feels wrong, this feels extractive, they’re told to lower their voice. Be nicer. Say it in a way that doesn’t make anyone uncomfortable.

There is so much tone policing in this community too. Especially when the people speaking are Black. Brown. Queer. Femme. Disabled. Neurodivergent. When we are loud, we are aggressive. When we are soft, we are ignored. When we are honest, we are told to be nicer.

But care doesn’t always sound like a whisper. And not all truth arrives gently.

Still, this isn’t a callout. This is a call in.

To remember that fanfiction isn’t neutral. It never was. That writing into stories we didn’t create, especially across cultures and histories and identities, comes with responsibility. Not perfection. But presence. But care.

And if you find yourself writing essays about who counts as a writer, while also joking about how you haven’t finished a WIP in ten years or how you have no discipline, maybe take a breath. Maybe ask yourself why someone else’s access to tools, or different creative rhythm, feels like a threat. Maybe ask why the part of you that’s scared has made someone else the enemy.

Writing is hard. Creating is hard. And some of us are doing it in the margins. In the gaps. Between shifts. In another language. Through trauma. Through fatigue. Through grief.

Let people get there how they get there. The heart is what matters. The voice is what matters. The story is what stays.

That’s why I helped start the Forgotten Fanfiction Collective. A space for the ones who are always told to wait their turn. For writers who are tired. For those of us who are BIPOC, queer, femme, disabled, neurodivergent. For anyone who needs to be the main character for once in a community that often treats us like background noise.

We’re here. We’re writing. And we are blazing a trail whether you read us or not.

Because fanfiction can be a radical space.

It already is.

We just have to let it be.

Fun Story to Share.

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

———

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

[luna-azzurra]

Writing is basically falling in love with an idea,

then immediately doubting if you're good enough for it.

Love at first sight quickly turns into anxiety at first paragraph.

[wesistersthreecharmed]

Every day when I plot an another idea and I'm like then "will the fans like it?" and then I realize that I don't have fans. But maybe I do?? And so, it's always anxiety all the time...

<i>I know this face. I’ve worn this face. And I’m going to be writing this face.</i> Our next arc is on the horizon—so close I can hear her holding her breath.

We’re still crawling through the Something Wicca arc (and clinging to every emotional landmine along the way), but Dead Man Dating is coming. And when it arrives, it won’t knock.

It’s not just about Mark. It’s about Piper. It’s about love that feels like responsibility, like hesitation, like grief she doesn’t even realize she’s carrying. It’s about choosing to stay. Again. And again. And again. It’s about the weight of being the one who never left.

This gifset? This is Piper Halliwell as devotion. As panic. As “please don’t die.” As “I will stay with you.” And I’m telling you now—you’re going to miss it before it’s even here.

<i>Because when we get to the Jade Cabinet, everything changes.</i>

5 Things About Witches That Seem Made Up (Part 2)

(Here's Part 1)

But aren’t.

The deeper you walk the path, the more truth you find in what the world calls fantasy.

Talismans get offended They are not mere objects — they are bonded to us. Forget them in a drawer, let them gather dust, break the pact of trust… and they sulk. You’ll feel it: their energy dulls, their protection wanes. Some vanish altogether. Others demand to be cleansed, soothed, or even apologized to. They are companions, not tools.

Tarot too Yes — your deck has moods. Shuffle with doubt, ask with impatience, and the cards will mirror only your chaos. They twist, flip, fall wrong. But come with reverence, and they’ll sing. They are oracles, not servants. And they will not speak to those who do not truly listen.

We attract each other — and recognize at a glance It’s the look in the eyes. The tilt of the head. A passing shadow that feels like déjà vu. Witches know one another by the invisible threads we carry. We see ourselves mirrored in another — even if just for a second.

We never really die Our soul is a thread spun across lifetimes. We walk the earth again and again — in different bodies, under different names, but with the same ancient flame. Sometimes we remember: in dreams, in flashes, in the places that feel too familiar. We are born with callings, fears, and gifts not of this life. Because we’ve lived before. We will live again.

Our candles can talk Watch the flame. Listen to the crackle. A candle knows when a spirit is near, when a spell is strong, when a question is being answered. Wax speaks in shape, flame in movement, smoke in message. Learn the language of fire — it is ancient, and it tells no lies.

[wesistersthreecharmed]

The candles are talking. The Phoenix witches are being slaughtered. Barbas is laughing.

And we are still in the something Wicca arc.

We Sisters Three: a slow-burn.

A Meditation on the Eldest

I Remember the Eldest: A Creative Meditation on Prue Halliwell, Memory, and Magic

By the author of We Sisters Three

I. Why She Knows

I made the decision early. Prue Halliwell remembers.

She knows she’s a witch. Has known, in some part of her, since she was a child. It’s not a twist. It’s not even a secret. It’s a truth she’s forced to carry alone.

She remembers the candles. She remembers the sparks. She remembers the silence.

She remembers being told that the others couldn’t know. Not yet. Not ever. That she was chosen for a reason. That there was a cost.

This isn’t a revision. It’s a reckoning. Because in this story, magic isn’t awakened. It’s endured. Prue didn’t grow into her power. She was told to hide it. And the longer she hides, the more it hurts.

II. On Eldest Daughters and the Lie of Control

I don’t think there’s anything supernatural about being the eldest daughter. It’s already a kind of curse.

The first to feel the rupture. The first to be told, you need to be strong for them now. The first to learn that grief has no explanation, only expectations.

Prue became the perfect container. Not because she wanted to. Because she was told to.

When her mother died, she was twelve. She already knew how to lie by then. Grams made sure of it. Not out of cruelty. But out of necessity.

This chapter, "The Slumber Party", is not about magic. It’s about what happens when the person who taught you how to survive is no longer trying to. It’s about trust. Control. And what’s left behind when those things fall apart.

Prue is not extraordinary for carrying the weight. She is ordinary. Painfully, beautifully, ordinary. And still, she has to hold the house together.

That’s what the eldest does.

III. On Shannen Doherty and the Art of Holding Back

You can’t write Prue Halliwell without writing Shannen Doherty.

Not just her voice, or her presence. But her silences. The micro-expressions. The fury behind the eyes. The ache you’re not allowed to name.

She always looked like she was holding something back. In this version, she is.

The Prue of We Sisters Three is carrying a binding that isn’t just magical, it’s narrative. She knows who she is, what she is, and what’s coming. And she still plays along. For them. For the sisters.

Because that’s what Shannen gave us: a performance that said I will keep going even when the world wants me quiet.

This chapter is for her. For that ache. For the strength that never got to be soft.

IV. What This Means for the Story

This creative choice, this knowing, refracts everything.

It changes how Prue loves. Cautiously.

How she argues. With surgical precision.

How she parents Piper and Phoebe. Fiercely. Grudgingly. Silently.

How she enters a room. Like someone expecting to be blamed for its contents.

It also changes her power.

Because her magic has always been emotional. Reactionary. Violent in defense. But in this chapter, she does something different.

She levitates a vase. And spins it. On its axis. Gracefully. Controlled.

It’s a metaphor. It’s a miracle. It’s a warning.

The binding is fraying. And that means something else is coming.

V. A Prayer for the Eldest

If you are the eldest,

If you were the one who kept the secrets, made the schedules, translated the grief,

If you’ve ever cried in the hallway outside the room so no one would hear,

This chapter is for you.

It’s okay if you weren’t graceful. It’s okay if you weren’t kind. It’s okay if the power came at a cost.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about being seen.

VI. Behind the Attic Door

This is the story of a girl who knew.

Who helped close the attic door and was told to forget. Who watched her grandmother unravel and still called it love. Who became a witch long before the spell was ever said out loud.

She is the keeper of a bloodline. The first one awake.

She is the girl who knew.

And that, more than any power, is the thing that will break her.

🌒 We Sisters Three Chapter 3: The Slumber Party

A Telekinetic Breakdown in Three Acts (and one cigarette pack)

🕯️ BASIC INFO

Chapter: 3 — The Slumber Party

Word Count: ~11,700 (because brevity is for emotionally stable people)

Main POV: Prue Halliwell

Structure: Present-day emotional apocalypse with flashbacks to age 12, 16, and 22

Location: Halliwell Manor, Half Moon Bay. Which is very much alive.

✍🏽 AUTHOR’S NOTE (aka Middle Child Damage Report)

This chapter was written by a middle sibling with too much access to memory, grief, and telekinetic metaphors. It’s a love letter to the eldest daughters who were turned into third parents before they had time to be children. It’s for every girl who was handed silence and told it was strength. It’s for the ones who held the door shut, not because they wanted to, but because someone had to.

It is also, and I cannot stress this enough, long. Because Shannen Doherty mattered. Because Prue Halliwell is not done. Because sometimes the only way to honor a woman who held the world together is to let her fall apart on the page.

📖 PLOT SNAPSHOT

Prue finds Grams’ hidden cigarettes and realizes the lie is older than she thought.

Grams storms in post-grocery-line meltdown and the confrontation goes from petty to ancestral real quick.

They drag everything out. The binding spell. The attic sealing. The power. The trust. The trauma.

The vase floats. Then ruptures. Then folds into memory.

Prue finally screams.

Grams finally says sorry.

No magic is cast. The magic is the fight.

🧼 AESTHETIC SNAPSHOT (Vibe: Primal Matriarchal Therapy)

Dim lighting. Burnt-out bulbs.

Cigarettes that were never for offerings.

A yellowing prom photo in a drawer you pretend you didn’t open.

Worn-down hardwood floors where someone you love once said, “I’m not broken, Prudence.”

Hair rollers. A rosary. A vase floating like a prayer and breaking like a truth.

Unspoken thank-yous. Screamed accusations. Hugs that feel like confessions.

📆 TIMELINE + FACTS

Prue is 27 in Fall 2015.

Piper is 25 (turns 26 in July 2016).

Phoebe is 23 (turns 24 in March 2016).

Patty Halliwell had Prue at 23 — biologically sound, don’t fight me.

The attic was sealed when Prue was 20.

The flashback with the cigarettes? Prue is 22.

At 12, she dropped a locker on a boy like the Wicked Witch of the East.

At 16, she wore periwinkle to prom and tried not to be Carrie White.

✨ SPOILERS WITH FEELINGS

Prue knew she was a witch this whole time. Grams just bound her from speaking of it.

The attic sealing wasn’t to “keep things safe.” It was to keep Prue manageable.

Grams says “boohoo Prue” and the whole fandom saw red.

The vase? Didn’t break. It bloomed.

Prue’s powers are no longer rage-driven—they’re grief-rendered. That’s scarier. That’s Halliwell.

The line: “You were chosen for this. Because it was your destiny.” And we were never the same.

💔 TELL YOUR ELDEST SIBLINGS THANK YOU

They weren’t born strong. They were sculpted that way by everyone else’s fragility. This chapter is what happens when one of them finally shatters. And it is sacred.

So go text your older sister. Or your cousin who raised you. Or your Titi who once said, “Get in the car, mija. I’ll handle it.” Because it was never their fault they sucked. They were trying to keep you safe and stay alive and be God all at once.

This story is part of the Forgotten Fanfiction Collective — a space created to celebrate and uplift marginalized voices on the fringes of fandom: BIPOC, queer, femme, disabled fanfic writers who’ve been told they’re too much, not canon enough, or not what fandom is “for.”

We write memory into the margins. We haunt canon on purpose. We tell the stories that would have saved us.

Join us. Tag your work #forgottenfanficcollective or just scream into the void with us. We're listening.
