It's time for our summer-long Movie AU Fest, hosted by the F1 Playlist Fic Exchange Server. 🎞
Ever wondered what your favorite drivers would be like in a late 1990s/ early 2000s rom-com setting, like a Lestappen Ten Things I Hate About You AU? How George, Alex, and Lando might fare in a 2019 rookies Star Wars AU? Maybe you always wanted to try writing a Sebchal Sabrina AU because Audrey Hepburn just screams Charles?
Then you’re in the right place, and the Movie AU Fest might just be the thing for you. 🎟
You can write about any pairing in a setting that can be considered a Movie AU, including book-to-screen adaptations, tv shows, anime...
Sign-Ups Open: 1st July 2026 - from now on!!
Check-in: 1st August 2026
Deadline: 15th August 2026
The minimum length is a wordcount of 1500 words. There is no maximum length, so you can write anything from a oneshot to a multichapter.
The FAQs and links are under the cut!! ❤🎬
What if I can't finish my story?
No fandom stuff is worth feeling stressed about. We encourage posting finished works, but we understand that real life can come in between. If you want to write a multichapter fic, and you have only the first chapter finished by the deadline (or if you would prefer to post your fic chapter by chapter rather than all at once), please let a mod know closer to the deadline, and we can figure it out together. xx
Is it only Modern F1 pairings, or also Classic F1?
You can choose pairings from Modern F1 or Classic F1. You are welcome to write about drivers, team principals, team members etc. We won't be allowing any stories that include WAGs as part of the main pairing.
Do I need an Ao3 account to participate?
Yes.
Do I need to archive-lock my fics?
No, but considering the recent RPF containment breaches we recommend archive locking your fics.
Can I use AI to write my fics?
No AI allowed.
Is there a Discord server I can join?
Yes. The Movie AU is a fest hosted by the F1 Playlist Fic Exchange Server, which was originally created for another event, the F1 Playlist Fic Exchange, that takes place every winter.
If you would like to participate in the Movie AU Fest, please feel free to join. (The link to the Discord is included below, underneath the link to the Collection on Ao3 for the fest.)
Please note that we would like for it to remain a place for community, of respect, and of love for the sport. Please respect that the server is strictly 18+. There are people from both Classic and Modern F1 who will be talking about different ships that you might not support yourself or are interested in. So, strictly no driver hate, or pairing hate, please.
What if I want to take part but don’t have an idea (yet)?
You are welcome to join our server anyways and just hang out, help brainstorm, or assist others in their writing process - who knows, maybe something comes to mind while doing that. The same is true if you don't plan on creating anything for the event at all but would like to cheer others on, meet fandom people who share your interest in f1 and its history, or perhaps you can imagine beta reading someone else's fic.
I have another question that you haven't answered.
Oh no! Hit us up on this Tumblr (@f1playlistficexchange) or message us directly on Tumblr under @kittcatness (Nova) @sleep-legend (Elektra) @miniescule (Inie) @hrhgeorgerussell (Ann) or @golden-fairylights (Pauli). If you choose to join the Discord (or are already in it from the F1 Playlist Fic Exchange(s), in which case, hi, fancy seeing you here!!) please tag @/moderator in our server or message us via DM on Discord.
If you have any questions or need help with brainstorming, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us or other members of the server.

Here is the link to the F1 Playlist Fic Exchange Discord server that is hosting the Movie AU Fest. (18+)
Please let us know in case the links don't work for you, and we'll look into it.
Now - without further ado: Happy writing!! ❤🎬
Whether your story ends with a dramatic kiss in the rain in a Piarles version of the The Notebook, or Patroclus!Oscar dying in Achilles!Lando’s arms in an Iliad AU / a queerer version of Troy, or whether you prefer Classic F1 and would like Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart to explore the world of Narnia together - we can't wait to see what you create.
Much love <3
Nova, Elektra, Inie, Pauli, and Ann xx
(PS: If you would like to join the violent discussion between @hrhgeorgerussell and @sleep-legend about affinities in Naruto and what driver would have lightning powers (Pierre), come join the Discord!!)

A/N: something short that came across my mind today, it was funny 🤭(unedited, sorry)
✨
Toto is driving your daughter to school on Monday morning and she’s all grumpy and huffing in the backseat.
He looks in the rearview mirror when stopping on the red light, cocking his brow with an unamused expression. It’s early in the morning and you made it very clear that it’s his turn to take his offspring to the school. And you knew how he hates early mornings.
“What’s about all the fuss, liebes?” His voice echoes through the car, causing his girly carbon copy turn her head to meet his gaze in the rear.
“Why is mommy angry?” Her voice sounded so irritated that he must’ve chuckle. She was so you.
“It’s complicated, princess.” He cleared his throat, tugging the steering wheel a little with his hands while shifting in his seat.
“Daddy. I’m seven.” She folded her arms on her chest.
Toto looked to the side to check the red light still being there, avoiding the conversation.
“Dad.”
“Okay. Your mom is mad at me, because I did… a bad thing.” He almost pouted at the memory of you shouting at him that he’s a self centered dick.
“Ah. I see.” She raised her brows in a very understanding way.
“But you know I’m a good person, right?” He shot her a look again through the rear.
“Is it about uncle George?” She cocked her brow the same he does.
Toto grunted. She was so freaking smart.
“…yeah.”
She hummed, nodded and then huffed again.
“Mom didn’t even give me my snacks. She always does that. Now you got her mad and she’s neglecting me.” She pouted dramatically.
He rolled his eyes, praying for the red light to finally change to green.
“I can imagine how you’re suffering…” his voice was full of sarcasm when his foot hit the gas, the car moving forward to the direction of school.
“You can’t imagine, dad! It’s the worst. How am I supposed to go through the day?” She whined in the back, while Toto sighed in frustration.
“What am I supposed to do, darling? Hm? Tell me. It seems you have all the world’s wisdom already figured out.” He spotted your name across the display on the dashboard of the car and he quickly declined your call.
He was sure he would hear about it later.
“You should make up for your mistakes, daddy. Be a good man to George. He’s the best uncle. Giving me sweets and gifts…” she blabbered while rummaging through her pink school bag.
Another red light.
Toto rubbed his temple, his head pounding with the starting headache.
“It’s business, princess. I can’t—“
“Yes, you can, daddy. You told me that one can do everything when you want.” She opposed with his own words.
Her smug smile didn’t escape his attention.
“It only matters if you really want to.” She turned her head to look out of the window with a sweet smile and a little shrug of her shoulders.
Never in the world Toto would think that his decisions would turn against him in all the ways possible.

crazy confession but I have like 50 unfinished Toto fanfics and I’ve literally gone back and written pain and misery upon him in almost every single one despite the fact they will never see the light of day
In a sport where luck plays such a big role, it's strange how much more weight people — fans, "analysts", media — place on what drivers GET over what they DO, when evaluating their quality.
The most glaring example I can give of what I mean is probably how Lewis was washed in 2022. And the he wasn't in 2023. And then he was again. And now he isn't once more.
Right now, we are witnessing people lauding a certain driver as a prodigy based solely on the fact that he got five consecutive wins, but has he actually done anything truly impressive?
Despite having a top 4 car for his rookie season and the fastest car by far in the second one, we can count in one hand the number of times he showed something a bit more interesting. We might not even need the full hand. To be honest, what we have really seen him do is keep the car on the track (mostly) and get good results when everything goes right and he isn't challenged in any way. But when things don't go as smoothly he has nothing to show.
Meanwhile, we have seen George and a few other drivers pull really incredible results from subpar machinery and against very difficult circumstances, but because they weren't wins, I guess they count for nothing, right?
This post is just a little rant against the idea that George is washed, in fact, against the idea that he's even challenged by his teammate on a talent basis, at least for now. Because if we look just a little beyond the standings, we can see that, when Kimi gives his all and has a very good performance, occasionally he can beat George, especially if external circumstances get in George's way. When George's on it, thought, he stands no chance. Essentially what I mean is, Kimi's best can, sometimes, juuust edge out George's average, but George's best is untouchable.
I believe George when he says he is not quite connecting with the car. He looks like he is fighting with it all the time. Yet, he still managed to pull a P1 out of his ass in Canada against his teammate who had everything going perfectly on his end.
That's how I personally evaluate drivers: not by what they can get when all is good, but by what they can do when everything is going to shit.
That is why I ended up a GR63 fan.
And that is why I won't stop believing in the GR WDC until it's mathematically impossible.
Imagine trying to gotcha! someone when you come from a cult fanbase who started a scandal from a sabotage email so bad that it got to the fucking police
Grussell Sprouts are far from saints but to act that you are above us or sumn are crazy work! Talking about 22-24 without 0 awareness is insane. Must be nice watching with your eyes fucking shut with a super glue!
Don't play a fucking moral game around here without looking at what your cult do 💀💀 Crazy fuckhead
I’m so happy for the pole but also for all the love George got this week like you can feel how important this is for him bc yesterday he posted that girl with her beautiful poster in his story, today he thanked us for the support even saying that it has helped him achieve this result– oh my precious boy you are so sweet so classy and I love you soooooo much 🩵🩵🩵

“I'm pretty mind-blown by the decision, because how you can reverse a decision that was ultimately wrong, but when other people have been penalised for the same thing and served a penalty in the race - how you can then change one penalty, knowing that probably five or six other races have been impacted by that, is astonishing,” Piastri said.
“So, I mean, I've obviously lost a position, but you can only imagine how George is feeling - so I could not believe my eyes. Yes, I lost the position to Pierre because I served the penalty, so technically I should be P3 - but then, technically George should be P3, and the whole thing is now a mess.”

I am heartbroken for George this is his favorite race the one he does best he started from pole he was defending so good against the other one and I truly don’t understand why this gotta happen to him bc I can tolerate Miami and even Japan but this here feels so tragic I’m sorry but this will hurt for a lot of time
you’re laughing. my goat george russell is experiencing religious psychosis while the masses crucify him like a modern day joan of arc and you’re laughing.
