Though we're quite some ways away from the reveal, I wanted to share an exciting new development we're trying out this year!

In the leadup to the event, I invite folks to share previews of what you've been working on. You can submit previews to me anytime between now up until October 23.

As mentioned in the summons, this is an optional element. If you produce your best work under pressure, that is totally fine. Just keep an open line of communication should anything happen and you need more time.

Guidelines for sharing previews:

Please do not post a preview from your own account. This is to help maintain an element of surprise until the reveals. Instead, DM me or send me an ask with what you want to share

Previews will be posted on a rolling basis in the order I receive them in. Depending on how many folks submit a preview, I may limit it to one per person just so I'm able to stagger them out between weeks leading up to the event.

I leave it to your discretion what you wish to share in a preview. It can be a snippet of writing, some zoomed in detail on a piece of art, or even your thoughts on the process so far! Do keep in mind though if there's a very specific element in your prompt, it may give the game away if your previews includes that element.

If sharing any images, consider including an image ID. I will add any that are submitted to the image itself when it comes time to post. I'm more than happy to help folks workshop image IDs. I've also included a resource here on writing image IDs for folks who want to try writing them on their own.

As usual, if there are any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me!

Had the absolute pleasure of reading @antropophagi's i will hold on hope and it was everything I never knew I needed from a fix-it fic.

It's a very beautiful exploration of Warthrop and William's relationship. Without Harrington Lane, without monstrumology, what would happen if the two of them had nothing to hide behind - what if all they had left to confront was the other? In reading this, I felt a sense of finality that I never felt in any of my times reading The Final Descent.

Pellinore Warthrop was born on the 31st of October, 1853.

The first time I tried to broach the subject with him, my hand still pulsed in time with my heartbeat, demanding – as the body does when you listen closely to it – that I stitch back what had been taken from it. The spot where my finger had once been itched and hurt and I caught myself swallowing back tears every time I instinctively rubbed my hand across the bandage. It seemed as though I could not make my body understand what my brain knew: lost things are forever lost, no matter how much we whine and wail.
