Initially, I was thinking about doing a Secret Pal exchange in July, and a 10 year anniversary event in August, but now I'm thinking it might be nice to include the exchange as part of the 10 year Choices celebration. Let me know your thoughts
When should I do the Secret Pal Exchange?
Middle of July
End of July
Beginning of August (right before the anniversary event)
Middle of August (part of the anniversary event)
End of August (after the anniversary event)
Anytime in July
Anytime in August
Whenever is good with me.

Okay, middle of August as part of an anniversary event it is!!!
As far as I know, no one is hosting a June Challenge as of now. I don't have the time to do so with the book club and MC appreciation this month.
However, if no one steps forward and anyone wants to create for any of the previous monthly challenges from 2026 and tag this blog, I'll reblog your work here.

I heard of a Secret Admirer Event happening soon? Summer?
That is my hope! .... However, I haven't started planning for it yet. Not that there's a lot to plan since I do exchanges a few times a year and theyr'e all about the same, but I just gotta get going.
I'm thinking toward the end of July since, @choicesmcappreciationweek is the end of June and beginning of July.
I'm also working on a Choices 10 year anniversary event for August and would love to do another reading event soon!

With May coming to a close this week, I'd like to get feedback on how you think the Reblog Event went. But don't worry, if you haven't finished reblogging, you still have another few days (but honestly, missed the event? reblog whenever you can, I can't imagine anyone being upset to get late reblogs!)
Did your work get some more attention?
How many work(s) did you interact with? (ie: 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20+, everything)
Did you enjoy the works you interacted with? Did you just read books you already read for or did you venture into other books?
Did you interact more on Tumblr or AO3 or equally?
Do you think this event was successful?
Would you like to see another event like this in the future?
What changes would you like to see if there was another event? Did you like the structure of posting all the works at once and having a month to interact? Or would you prefer less works?
Please answer any and all you are comfortable with. You can comment, reblog, send an anon ask, or DM me. Whatever works for you!
Thank you to everyone who participated ❤️
answers below cut!
Did your work get some more attention?
Hell yeah. Only one fic of mine (my HSS Adaptation) did not get a lot of new attention— which I kind of understand, since even the first chapter was super long (but prior to the event, it did already have a lot of comments compared to my other two submissions anyways lol).
But my other two fics got a lot of new, lovely comments and that was very pleasing.
How many work(s) did you interact with? (ie: 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20+, everything)
About 24 as of now! Not counting my own works, of course. I’ll probably do a few late reblogs for the fics I didn’t get to.
Halfway through the month though, I admittedly did start to feel a little more :/ about interacting with submitters who hadn’t participated much/at all. Some people potentially just wanted an audience without giving back and I couldn’t reward that.
Did you enjoy the works you interacted with? Did you just read books you already read for or did you venture into other books?
Yes! I got to catch up with works from writers I already love but hadn’t read those particular fics yet, as well as works from writers I’ve never interacted with before.
The title being written about did not affect what I chose to read, and even when I’ve read fic’s outside of this event it doesn’t. I read both from titles I was familiar with and titles I was unfamiliar/hadn’t played yet.
Did you interact more on Tumblr or AO3 or equally?
Most fics were Tumblr links, and writing comments is easier in Tumblr than on AO3 (especially if I’m using the quote/indent format), so I interacted more on there. But an AO3 link was included, I would make sure to leave a kudos; and if there was only an AO3 link, I would comment on AO3.
Do you think this event was successful?
Mostly yes but it is kind of a mixed bag! On one hand there were, of course, a lot of people who didn’t participate much or at all. But there were also plenty of people who did, and as I said before it allowed our works to get more seen as well as helping us read from new people + catch up on works we haven’t read yet.
Would you like to see another event like this in the future?
Hell yes.
What changes would you like to see if there was another event? Did you like the structure of posting all the works at once and having a month to interact? Or would you prefer less works?
Only definite change I would suggest, is maybe more emphasis on leaving comments along with reblogging too? Like maybe frame it as a reblog+comment event. Most of the people who did actually participate were good about making sure to leave meaningful comments, but there were a few cases of people who would just give an empty reblog or a one-scentence “I liked this” comment— and though the resharing/positive comment is greatly appreciated, it does leave some questions as to whether they even read the fic, if that makes sense.
I definitely liked the structure of posting used in this event, but I also wonder if it could be helpful to organize the works differently. Organizing by wordcount might help people plan how to read better, if they have a bit more difficulty with longer fics. Organizing by the user who submitted them could also make it easier for people to make sure they don’t leave anyone out. This is less so a definite change suggestion, moreso just to consider possibilities. It can maybe be put to a poll vote.
I would also like to think of more ways to encourage participation in general, since a lot of people who submitted ended up barely participating. I do think the likes of “people who submitted works but don’t participate much/at all will be asked not to submit in the next event” is 100% fair, and can and should be stated on any future posts pertaining to these events.
Thank you for participating and providing such helpful feedback! It's appreciated! I'm glad 2 of your 3 works got more attention!
Halfway through the month though, I admittedly did start to feel a little more :/ about interacting with submitters who hadn’t participated much/at all. Some people potentially just wanted an audience without giving back and I couldn’t reward that.
This was my concern when I first suggested keeping track of participants reblogs, but feedback said not to keep track... I know life happens but the fact that so many participants were actively creating, posting, and/or reblogging others and not participating in the event was a choice. I do understand your hesitant.
I want to do another event like this but figuring out what to do about those participants is a priority before than. My initial reaction is they can't submit to the next event. If they participate in reblogging in the next event, then they'd be eligible to resubmit in the following event.
I'm open to suggestions if you (or anyone has feedback on this). To me this was the biggest weakness in the event. And unfortunately the users I was hesitant to accept, were the ones the fell into this pattern.

You're not alone with this. I have received this feedback from others as well and completely agree. I will definitely work on drafting more specific rules about how to comment.

I could absolutely include a word count with the fics.
My concern with listing by author is that people might more likely exclude a particular user. This fandom is wonderful but can be very clique at times. I hoped spreading works out would maybe get people to click a work for someone they might not have read otherwise.

Thankyou @choicesfandomappreciation for organising this and everyone who submitted work and read and reblogged others.
Answers under the cut
Thank you for participating in the event and for providing detailed feedback. It's appreciated.
I'm happy to hear your work received appreciation from others with this event.
16 interactions is still a great number. I appreciate you taking your time to interact with those works, and for also saving the link for possible future reblogs.
I also have not read canon Immortal Desires yet, and it seems like there are others who are consider reading it too. I'm considering using it as the next book for @choicesbookclub.
I can understand the anxiety of commenting on others works especially on those that are for books you may be less familiar with. I promise that whatever you write creators are thankful to you for. I'm even excited if people quote back a quote from the writing piece with a reaction gif! I'm sure everyone you interacted with really appreciated what you did.
Thank you again for the feedback and joining in on this event! ❤️

17 so far, but I was away last week and the month isn't over just yet ;)
Did you enjoy the works you interacted with? Did you just read books you already read for or did you venture into other books?
Tbh, I was never very active in the fandom, so almost everything was new for me, which is great! I discovered new people and creations, and I really enjoyed that. I did struggle a little with reading for books where I haven't read the Choices book itself because it's different when you don't know the characters, but I still read some lovely things, and it made me want to play Immortal Desires haha.
Did you interact more on Tumblr or AO3 or equally?
Since this is a reblog event, more on tumblr, but I did comment on AO3 too.
Do you think this event was successful? Would you like to see another event like this in the future?
I think it was, and it's a great way to discover new things, so having another one in the future would be nice.
What changes would you like to see if there was another event? Did you like the structure of posting all the works at once and having a month to interact? Or would you prefer less works?
I liked being able to structure when to read what for myself, so posting all at once for the whole month was good for me. Maybe a kind of "spotlight" post highlighting a few works every week could help with more interaction?
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I'm happy to hear that your work received comments and support!
I do understand that it is difficult to read for books you don't know, but I appreciate you gave it a try! I haven't read Immortal Desires either, but reading the works definitely made me consider it too! I'm thinking of doing it as the next @choicesbookclub book in July/August.
I liked being able to structure when to read what for myself, so posting all at once for the whole month was good for me. Maybe a kind of "spotlight" post highlighting a few works every week could help with more interaction?
I could absolutely do a spotlight list each week. I was hoping reblogging 2 a day would "spotlight" those for the day, but making mini lists to post each week of the event to remind users of specific works throughout the event as another way to build interactions, could help! T

Thank you for a lovely event Dani! I'm so impressed by how hard you've worked, you made sure to spare the time and energy to show every single piece some love and I'm sure people really appreciated it 💖💖💖
Did your work get some more attention?
I got a few lovely comments on my two fics from my mutuals (though I would have loved to hear from people branching out to read outside of their usual books too) People were more inclined to reblog my edit

Thank you for such a detailed reflection of feedback and for supporting so many creators and entries, even ones outside your usual books.
I did notice that some users only read the books/creators they already followed. I was hoping this event would encourage people to take a risk and try something new.

Our Greatest Adventure
This is the final part in The Hidden Path mini series. I started planning this moment 4 years ago. I've had this art for over 3 years. I've drafted at least a dozen versions of this and it never felt right, because I realized recently, it was never just about this moment, it was about all that came before and all that will come next. Having the mini series to explore that elevates this moment even more for me. I really hope you enjoy this art and the fic. Thank you for supporting these two for the past 6 years. I am eternally grateful.

A Valentine's Day Celebration
Today was Valentine's Day and Thomas was out with his girlfriend Becca carrying her bags, She was in front of him with Sabrina. Chris beside him was carrying Sabrina's bags. "Women" Chris said jokingly causing Thomas to chuckle. They both began walking into a store with their significant others. Becca and Sabrina both turn to their boyfriends. "You hanging in there bro?" Sabrina says teasingly. Thomas rolls his eyes struggling Abit as he is holding Becca's bags. 'Lets have a double date he said it'd be easy and fun he said' Thomas thought mocking Chris. Becca steps forward kissing Thomas on the cheek. "just one more item and it'll be done" Sabrina and Becca walks into a lingerie section. The two men set their girlfriend's bags down and Sits on a bench. "So how long it'll take them?" Thomas asks and Chris shrugs.
Laying back on the bench Thomas sighs and smiles "So when am I gonna be a uncle?" Chris eyes widen at the question and he starts blushing softly. "Man that's not something you'd ask on a double date... But no I don't have any plan on having kids right now" Thomas nods and lifts his leg above his right leg, He digs into his own pocket and pulls out a ciggerate lighting it puffing it. "Well I know one thing. Meeting Becca and being with her. It's amazing. Life changing" He blows out a puff of smoke. "I mean I never been with a girl other than her but she brings me to cloud nine" Chris nods. A security officer walks over to the two and cross her arms. "Sir no smoking here" no smoking in a lingerie store? In a mall? Stupid. Rolling his eyes Thomas puts out his cigarette on the bench and scoffs and Chris just chuckles as the female security officer walks back to the corner. "Well that is good. I was happy after you and your sister came. After you joined our football team last year we had some rivalry going on" Thomas raises a brow "Rivalry? I never viewed it like that. " Chris smiles at Thomas and he sighs "That's good to hear man" Becca and Sabrina both came out of their changing rooms and Holds the bag of lingerie after paying them. "Ok let's head to the car" Becca smiles at Thomas. The two couples soon walk out the mall and separate from each other, Thomas on the driver's seat and Becca on the passenger seat. She is combining her long blond hair and Thomas was smiling at her. "So you got a lot of clothes" He chuckles. "A girl needs to stay fashionable".
Thomas began to drive slowly, His mind drifts to his discussion with Chris earlier. Becca puts on makeup and he eyes his girlfriend. It's Valentine's and she hasn't brought him a gift. Just the usual shopping. "Oh and for your gift you'll have to wait" She smiles. Thomas chuckles and drives over to the parking lot of where they had their first date. "Oh the Korean barbecue place!" She smiles. After two minutes and a frustrating parking later. Thomas and Becca walks into the restaurant, It's been three years since they got together. After sitting and ordering the man in front of them began cooking. Thomas and Becca holding hands under the table both watch him slice up the meat and flipping it. After their food was made He kisses his girlfriend softly, caressing her face as he does so. The kiss was Abit sloppy and as their lips part she poked his nose. "Easy city boy" she giggles and reaches into her bag giving Her boyfriend a comic book of "Diary wimpy kid?!" He says in excitement. Becca smiles "Glad you love it" Thomas smiles and pulls out a engagement ring putting it on Becca's finger. "Marry me you beautiful blond goddess".
The resteraunt cheers as Becca hugs Thomas both kissing passionately, He holds her close and the resteraunt Awwes. Their both engaged happy and have more adventures to come.

Chapter 1 - Desperate Measures
Series - Plus One
Word Count - 3610
Warnings - None
The atmosphere at their table was not golden; it was the suffocating, beige emptiness of another failed romantic endeavour which settled over them long before the appetizers arrived. The light in the expensive, bustling restaurant felt too bright, spotlighting Drake's increasing weariness.
