🫳 I TOUCH MYSELF - A Rare Pairs Flash Comp 🫴

Hosted by @jadedandconfusedao3 (all details and graphics provided by host 🎉)

Introduction

This fest is quite frankly ridiculous but I think it will be a LOT of fun and that’s really what we’re here for isn’t it. The fest focuses around having at least two of the same character present. The prompts describe how there comes to be two of a person, what happens from there is up to you.

FAQ

**Does it have to be selfcest?**

No. You can interpret your prompt however you like. The only requirement is that there needs to be two of a person in your fic.

**Do I have to use the exact words from the prompt in my fic?**

Nope. The prompts are there to inspire you not restrict creative freedom.

Schedule

All dates and times are displayed in GMT

🤞 **Claims open:** 7 April at 13:00

COMMENT BINGO FAQ

Q: Am I only able to submit new or recent works?

A: Nope! Whether you wrote it an hour or 20 years ago, it can be submitted. Just please double-check your tagging.

---

Q: Is dead-dove/taboo content allowed to be submitted?

A: Yes! It just HAS to be tagged properly.

---

Q: Are submissions vetted?

A: We will be doing some skims through but it will mostly be an honor thing. Just know, the mods will be participating. If you’re in doubt, ask a mod. (Mandi loves tagging)

---

Q: Podfics allowed?

A: Yes, podfics are allowed! They just have to follow the existing guidelines to submit & properly credit the original work (if there is one).

---

Q: My main pairing is a rare pair, but I have a side/past pairing that is a common pair. Is that allowed?

A: Yes. As long as the primary focus is on the rare pair!

---

Q: Are WIPs allowed? Can they be updated during the duration of the bingo?

A: Yes! WIPS are allowed and encouraged! They can be updated throughout the bingo. We just ask that they stay under the 20,000 words through April 30, 2025.

---

Q: OC’s allowed?

A: Yes!

---

A: No minimum- only a maximum of 20,000.

---

Q: If I’ve already read a work and left a comment, could I reread it, leave a new comment, and use it for one of my squares?

A: Yes, however, we encourage you to first try to read fics/pairings you’ve never read before.

---

Q: Can you clarify the ‘one work can only fill one square’ rule?

A: Absolutely! For example: If a work I leave a comment on could fulfill multiple categories. (T rating, golden trio era & pull a quote that made me blush), I can only use that work to mark off one square (golden trio era).

---

Q: How late do we have to submit?

A: The collection closes for submissions on April 15th.

---

Q: Do I have to submit to participate in the bingo?

A: Everyone is welcome to participate in the bingo, regardless if you submit or not. However, if you submit, you are required to participate. We all support each other.

A: Bingo cards will be posted in the vommebt bingo channel on 4/2/2025. There will be 2 general bingo cards that readers can choose from (an NSFW and a SFW).

---

Q: How will we be showing/proving that we’ve marked off a bingo square?

A: It will mostly be an honor system. Everyone in this server is an adult and we expect people to act as such. This meant to be fun and supportive. You can use the squares to share what works you’ve commented on! And we highly encourage you to share your progress.

---

Q: I have a question/concern and would prefer to ask it privately. Could I DM you?

A: Yes. Mandi and Lani are open to receiving DM’s and we will do our best to answer as soon as possible. Just please be patient.

Join the server for a group read along for

Title: Don't knock Knockturn
Summary: Life is returning to a new normal after the war. Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes is thriving, and Diagon Alley is pretty much back to its old glory after a huge effort to repair and rebuild. Knockturn Alley was never that glorious, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a dump. Ron wouldn’t think twice about it, but it keeps invading his workplace.

Get ready to be Wound Tight with the_houseryn's rare pair flash comp!

Ryn says...

This round's theme is all about that sexual tension.

We're talking UST, we're talking coitus interruptus, flirtation without satisfaction, explosive chemistry with no bang.

Inspired by a tumblr post riffing off R.S. Benedict's quote:

"Everyone is beautiful but nobody is horny."
Which is from an essay on the desexulization of the exceedingly beautiful characters in modern visual media.

I can no longer find the tumblr post, but they were disecting the prevalance of characters within modern romance books having sex but aren't particularly sexually charged, not like the bodice rippers of the past.

All of the prompts are old bodice ripper books. Get your inspo from the incredible art, the fun titles, and/or the summary.

Do note that all of these books are hetero as they are all from a period which queer romance wasn't published like it is now.

(By golly do I wish modern queer books did cover art like these tho but that's a diverted topic lol) Anyways, don't feel constrained by the sexuality of the source material.

23 Feb - 01 March Book Club

This week, KitKat is hosting the rare pairs book club and we're reading In for a Galleon by silver_fish

[Harry/Hermione/Ron, 12.6k words, M]

It starts out innocently enough. At first, it’s just rumours. A few under-the-table bets.
And then someone puts up the list: Harry Potter’s Next Girlfriend Boyfriend? Partner. And to make matters worse, his best friends are at the top of it. Figures. He really can’t have just one simple year, can he?

Join the server to join on on discussions. Remember to comment for another stamp on the book club frequent flyer card ✨️

[Lucius Malfoy/Arthur Weasley, M]

CW: Infidelity, Canon Compliant, Sexual Content, Book 2: COS

Summary: After Lucius Malfoy goads Arthur Weasley into a brawl at Flourish and Blotts, both men find themselves stuck on their mutual memory of the night they spent together in 1967, before the Wizarding War began. But Lucius wants more than just a memory.

Why Schmem_14 chose this fic:

One of the things I enjoy about this fic is the way characters make choices that don’t always make them strictly good or bad. Who is truly corrupt, and how much are good intentions worth? Is Arthur as righteous as he thinks, or is Lucius redeemable to some respect? And above all, is the relationship doomed, or could it be sustainable?

09 - 15 Feb 2025 Rare Pairs Book Club 📖📘

This week, server mod Lani is hosting book club us we read a rare Bellalily fic.

Fic title: Catch Me As I Fall by This_world_of_beautiful_monsters [Bellatrix/Lily, Minor Lily/James, G, 5.8k]

Bellatrix Black is crying in the girl's lavatory when Lily Evans finds her. Lily doesn't do what smart girls do, doesn't walk away.

Since this is a pretty short oneshot, feel free to read at your own pace. Lani will be posting a few discussion questions throughout the week in the book club channel of the server.

Don't forget to leave a comment on AO3 and add another fic to your frequent flyer card for your vanity role at the end of the month.

Happy reading ✨️
