Thanks @sincerelylancelot for the tag!

Rules: make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous and tag as many people as you have WIPs. People send an ask with the title that most intrigues them, then you post a snippet or tell them something about it!

OK so I did this at the end of Jan and I've removed the ones that I'd already answered asks on from that round. You can still ask about those, they're just on the other list (is this so I look less insane? perhaps).

fic reading ask game: wild card! ramble about something!

ramble topic for this is going to be how amazing i think the f1 fandom is at bringing writers and artists together! also doubling as a reading rec list!! i have seen so many great pieces of art based on fic and i've seen fic written inspired by art and both of these things bring me so much joy. recently @hotmandrivefast dropped some glorious qatar lestapiastri art that inspired @sincerelylancelot to write this banging (literally) accompaniment swipe the key (come inside)

a few other examples of this amazing symbiotic creation-culture:

@chamberkat drew some very compelling landoscar post singapore art that inspired me to write singapore heat, which they then made me cry by making some beautiful cover art for!! full circle and such an amazing gift.

another amazing collab recently featured @unlapped & @hotmandrivefast gifting us their shared vision for an austin winners room au. 10:35 is the fic and the two comics can be found here and here! alice also did some beautiful art for lia's fic bloodsport, which lives rent free in my mind!

I will be sat and ready whenever you guys are ready to come back from hiatus, absolutely no pressure! The notif emails with your updates used to make my Wednesday/Thursday mornings!!

Hewwo! I think last time I talked about this I said we were shooting for October.... (insert all men do is lie here). BUT I am here with a very positive update. Chapters 17 - 20 are pretty much complete.

We're starting work on Ch 21 / 22 this week. Current plan will be for 26 chapters total with an epilogue.

Cute baby alpha Arvid thinking he's smooth and subtle. All the older people in the team, of all designations, just facepalming.

The way you are so right for this! They are telling us a story. Both of these have really interesting themes of change and uncertainty. But 100% everyone around them is just shaking their collective heads and looking the other direction to save themselves from second hand embarrassment. Baby alpha is not smooth at all.

Hii, yess! Welcome fellow believer. I am definitely with you on the jealousy trope, and I snuck a bit of that into Growing Pains. I think with the added alpha x omega element that would be even more spicy and the tension would be delicious. I am sure I'm going to get to writing that at some point, but trying to be good and finish up wips.

Though that trope would be especially relevant today after Isack was blowing vcarb kisses on main. Could be really good fuel for the jealousy fire if we're being honest! Once again please enjoy my favorite current picture of Liam and Arvid under the cut.
