1D Polyamorous Fic Exchange

Rating: not rated

Pairing: ot5 relationship

Word Count: 6.139

Summary:

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines mermaids as legendary sea creatures who have the head and upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish; which isn't too surprising due to the strict gender roles of the human world that hold them down as a society. Harry refuses to let them be defined by something that means nothing, and together they face the new world with their chins high and legs dry.

Let’s Not Waste A Minute More for neverlookingdown

Rating: Mature

Pairing: Harry/Zayn/Perrie

Word Count: 4,882

Description:

“You two have the most fucked up friendship, I swear,” Niall murmurs as he and Liam stalk off.

Harry laughs as he pulls Perrie closer, framing her face with his hands as he kisses her again. She moans into it, accepting Harry’s mouth greedily.

Niall is crazy. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with his and Perrie’s friendship. They are the epitome of friendship at its finest. Perrie is his best friend, always there for him, never judging. Harry loves her more than anything else in his miserable life. Not like, romantically. Harry isn’t sure he’s built for that. But it’s always been him and Perrie, it’ll always be him and Perrie. They’ve been there for all of each other’s firsts. First kiss, first joint, first loss. They gave their virginity to each other when they were 16 and sick of waiting for a magical, perfect moment that wasn’t coming.

We’ve only gotten two fics submitted so far, and the deadline was five days ago. If you haven’t already contacted us about getting an extension for your fic, you need to. We understand that life happens and things don’t always go as planned, but we can’t give you an extension if you don’t ask us for one!

These lovely individuals have offered up their time and energy to help you guys out with the fic writing process! A big round of applause for all of them, please.

In alphabetical order:

blissless-oblivion - beta/hand-holder

Strengths: Characterization, Plot development, Grammar/Spelling. Knowledge about: Greek Mythology, Teen Wolf, Doctor Who. I’m also willing to give constructive criticism and virtual hugs. ~

bourgeoix - beta

im good with grammar, characterization, continuity, and stylistic choices. also, im ace/aro so if that has any precedence in the fic just thought i’d mention it!!!

cxnorwalsh - beta/britpick/hand-holder

(I’m from scotland so I don’t know the ins and outs of e.g. the english schooling system but almost everything else I can cover). I’m not the greatest help with really smutty scenes but pretty much anything else you want to throw at me is fine. basically I’m just excited to help! 

footieau - beta/hand-holder

I’m great with grammar, characterization and structure. I’m always willing to support other writers and give them both criticism and love!

swiftyspice - hand-holder

I’m usually good at coming up with little ideas or dialogue on the spot and I’m knowledgeable in various things, including pop culture references and excluding most sciences

wherethingscomebackx - beta

I’m a stickler for correct grammar, spelling, and continuous writing style. I have an infinite knowledge on all things Harry Potter if it’s needed. As a heads up I’m not an expert on smut, but I’ll do anything I can to help make the fics structurally flawless! xx

Other resources:

The blog 1dbetareaders has a list of people willing to beta fics, so if you want you can check them out and hopefully you’ll find yourself one hell of a beta.

Here is a link to an ask polyamorousbros sent us that has some information on polyamorous relationships.

Hey! So sorry for the delay in replying to you, and in posting the list of betas/britpicks/hand holders. Thank you for reminding us to post the list though! I will get right on that :) It should be posted within the next half hour.

We have reached the part of the exchage where you are all busy bees writing your own little masterpieces, but even now there are some things to organize.

We are in need of more pinch hitters aka people who are willing to take over when someone has to drop out, which means that you would need to be able to fulfil your prompt in a shorter amount of time than the others.

If you think that you want to do that and know that you are able to write fast, there are three different ways of letting us know that you are avaible for us a a a pinch hitter:

reblog this post and tell us in the tags if you want to be a pinch hitter

comment on this post if you want to help

send us a message (off anon!)

For us it’s easier if you drop us a message, but please do whatever works best for you :)

A big shout out to all the people still writing on their stories and thank you for all of you who would offer their helping hand.

Also I want to make clear, that if you need to drop out, that we don’t hold a grudge or anything and we just hope that you are looking out for yourselves and that everything works out for the best. <3

Happy writing, friends <3

Hi! Yes, you can turn your fic in early, but it won’t actually be posted until we approve it. We won’t begin posting any fics until everyone’s fic has been turned in (which will hopefully be by October 1st, but we understand that life happens and sometimes things get in the way). Once everyone’s fic is submitted, we’ll begin posting, both on ao3 and by making little posts on tumblr for each fic for people to like and reblog. We also won’t reveal authors until every fic has been posted.

Hope this answered your questions! x

Yes, pinch hitters are always welcome :) Thank you *adds you to the virtual pinch hitter list with a flourish*

We are definitely hoping that ao3 will work through our problem soon. As soon as this bug is fixed, the “real” ao3 prompts will be sent out. Happy writing, sweetie :)

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I’m about halfway through emailing everyone their prompts :)

Hii! Nope, still not working :( but since Charlie, Jo and I are kind of tired of trying to work with ao3 to fix it right now, we’re just going to physically email everyone their prompts. We’ll be going alphabetically, so please hang tight!

Hi! You most definitely can, thank you for being willing to do double duty :)

Yay! Thank you! Virtual hugs are always important :)

Hi :) Thank you very much!
