okay question for fans of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005)

I've been in this fandom a looong time, and there used to be a few thriving communities for it on LiveJournal, but it died down a long time ago, for the most part. Because this is a very small fandom, I know there's not a lot of new fancreations these days for it. But this year is the 20th anniversary for the film, and I miss the fandom space for it a lot.

Would people perhaps be interested in participating in a creative event of some kind? for fic, art, videoedits, whatever? Specifically would anyone else be interested in making things for it? and if so, do you have ideas for what you might like to see for it?

ETA: if you see this and you are interested, please consider reblogging, or at least passing it along to people you know that might be interested! An interest check only works if people see it, and this fandom is so small and so scattered, every bit of extra reach helps! <3

my name is allie (she/her) though i'll answer to most things. (a, faye, bray--hence my screenname--, alfie, albee, mom/mama, "hey you!", etc.) my main is @afayebray and you can find me on discord as fiercemamallama. i created this account for us to have a space for writing (and art!) prompts, challenges, exchanges, etc. for our favorite long-suffering and immortal lovers, merlin and leon.

the name is merleon-monthly but i'll likely post more frequently than that but we'll have at least one main theme (or challenge or exchange) per month.

In the Dreaming, in a chamber vast and austere, there is a bed fit for a monarch. Grand and dark, tall and canopied, the linens sleek and rich, finer than any cloth Hob has ever known. He has seen his love reclined on it like the king he is, wreathed in shadows, his skin pale and glowing like the purest moonlight, eyes shining with the birth of galaxies. Sharp hunger on his face as he reaches for Hob, demands the worship Hob so freely gives.

It's a good look. One of Hob's favorites.

It pales in comparison to the vision that greets him now.

His bed is small. Really too small for two, but any bigger wouldn't fit in his cozy little flat. The sheets are flannel, so faded that the pattern on them is indistinguishable, but they are warm. His pillows are mismatched: one stripey, one a cheery yellow.

In the middle of his bed, there is a lump of blankets, its occupant curled tightly and hidden from view. The only sign of life is a riot of dark hair, ink spilled over the sunshine of Hob's ancient pillowcase.

The lump shifts, and Hob grins from the doorway where he stands, watching.

"Hob," the heap of blankets says. "Come, beloved."

The words are muffled by the thick down of Hob's duvet and the softness of Hob's pillow, but it is unmistakably an order.

"You just want me for my body heat," Hob says, but he starts forward, toeing off his slippers.

There's a sound from the bed that is not exactly a denial, and Hob laughs even as he pulls his jumper over his head and tosses it toward the foot of the bed.

He climbs into bed, scooting under the blankets and grinning at the unhappy hiss Dream makes as a rush of cooler air sneaks in with Hob.

"Royal bedwarmer reporting for duty, my king," Hob says, gathering Dream into his arms, and it ends on a yelp as Dream's cool nose finds Hob's neck.

Dream smiles against Hob's skin and he presses a kiss to Dream's unruly locks and begins to plot his revenge.

"That strategy will not succeed," Dream says after a moment, and Hob sighs.

"That's cheating," he complains, resolving to think about it later. Right now, he has a king to warm up, and a proven strategy for that.

I go hard against ace[spec] erasure in fandom. Love me angst and fluff.

If you see me edit something multiple times after posting, no you didn’t.

I’m bad at keeping up, so if there’s a challenge/event I’m missing, tag or challenge me! I’d LOVE to participate!

Do fan fiction challenges exist anymore? Or are they just called something different nowadays? Back in the day (20-30 years ago they were called challenges) you would post an idea for a story and someone else would try and write it...I don't see that anymore and haven't for so long it feels like.
