Have been feeling super normal about The Nightmare Before Kissmas & Go Luck Yourself by @sararaasch ☘️🎄 Just kidding, it's my whole personality now.
Beta/Pinch Hitter Sign Ups
Hello, everyone! We are once again requesting Beta Readers and Pinch Hitters, this time for the May Mini 2025.
If you like proofreading fic, writing mystery prompts, or generally just want to join in on the fun, then please click the link below and fill out our super easy, 4 question google form. You can sign up for beta/pinch hit with or without already being signed up as a regular participant.
How this works is we compile a list of betas, pinch hitters, or both from your google responses. Then, when someone requests a beta or has to drop out for any reason, we send an email out to the appropriate group. Assignments are given out on a first come first serve basis with preference to people who have not yet gotten an assignment.
Prompts are NOW OPEN!!! https://archiveofourown.org/collections/overtimeatthecottage/signups/new
Prompts will be open for two weeks, from Feb 14-28.
Claims may be made once prompts close on Feb 28th!
Looking forward to seeing all of your amazing GCU fanwork ideas!
Good afternoon, everyone! Sign-ups have been open for a little over a day, and we already have a flood of responses which is just so so so exciting ❤️💙 We're about to send out that first round of emails with the Ao3 sign up link, and we thought we ought to post the parameters here as well.
For the mini-exchange, you'll only be submitting 2 total prompts. These must be FirstPrince-centric, alternate universe, and have a generally positive/uplifting theme.
For the dialogue prompt, please include 1-2 sentences of dialogue. This will be up to the author/artist to interpret in terms of character speaking, scene setting, and the like. Example: "Are you waiting for a formal, written invitation? Kiss me."
For the narrative prompt, please create a 2-3 sentence long-form prompt. This should include details like setting, characterization, or story beats. Example: 1920's speakeasy AU. Alex is a bartender, Henry plays piano in the band. It's love (or at least lust) at first sight.
You will also need to include a list of Likes/Dislikes and confirm if you're okay with smut in your gift or not. You will need to do the same for your offer with a list of things you like to write/draw and don't like to write/draw. These lists help us match people up better, so while it is okay to put 'anything is fine' or some variation thereof, it's better for all involved to put at least a few things down.
Lastly, please specify if you want book!fic/art, movie!fic/art, or both/either by listing the corresponding fandom in the required box.
This was a little long for an update, so thank you for reading through! For anyone interested in signing up, please check out this post.
Hello again, friends! This is an update on how you can reach us or receive updates during the event.

Lastly, all communication with participants about sign-ups, check-ins, posting, etc will be handled by email. If you need to contact a mod, you can do so by sending an Ask here, but sending us an email at anywherewithyouevent@gmail.com is preferred.

Hi! I’m Pinko🎀
“Hi there, sweetheart,” Alex murmured. His voice was impossibly gentle; even more so than how it echoed in Henry’s brain. “You’re a sight for sore eyes.”

2024 Year in Review: Writing Round-Up
I was shocked to see that I wrote TEN fics this year, all for RWRB. And that the first one was in April! It was definitely a busy year.
❤️🤍💙.
- too sweet (Rated M | 2,237 words)
A little co-worker enemies-to-lovers. Based on the Hozier song of course!
❤️🤍💙.
2. good neighbours (Rated M | 10,283 words)
My fic for @aroyallybigbangrwrb which is a neighbours AU meet-cute situation where Alex really likes to fix stuff for Henry, who really likes to break stuff for Alex to fix. I'm normally a one-shot kinda gal, but writing a chaptered longer fic was a fun challenge!
❤️🤍💙.
3. stop pretending (Rated T | 3,159 words)
My fic for @thebrownstone Summer Switcheroo exchange. Childhood friends-to-lovers based on a little video I saw on twitter with a meddling sister and of course I added in some more meddling friends just for fun (because Nora and Pez need to get in there too!)
❤️🤍💙.
4. yours, forever (Rated T | 2.019 words)
Suuuuper fluffy proposal and wedding fic! The wedding bit is somewhat based on my own true story.
❤️🤍💙.
5. the cadence of your heart (Rated E | 5,585 words)
Oh boy. It took me about 4 or so months of working on this and building up the courage to post my first true E-rated fic in this fandom. This is basically shower sex PWP but also ended up with A LOT of feelings.
❤️🤍💙.
6. lost and found (love) (Rated T | 2.304 words)
A little meet-cute where Alex has lost his dog and Henry runs the local lost dog Facebook group. Part epistolary with FB messages throughout! Written for the red umbrella flufftober collection.
❤️🤍💙.
7. London? (Rated T | 1,432 words)
Somehow my second flufftober piece also ended up revolving around dogs, but this time an established relationship piece with some fun miscommunication about forever (but in a good way). Written for the red umbrella flufftober collection.
❤️🤍💙.
8. takes one to know one (Rated M | 3,608 words)
I had tons of fun writing this particular one about rival professors (with a little twist 🤫) for @anywhere-with-you-event.
❤️🤍💙.
9. According to Plan? (Rated T | 3,822 words)
A few people had asked for a proposal sequel to London? and it seemed to fit well with my first prompt for the frosted pages & snowbound stories collection which was Frozen Lake. My first 5+1 ever! Five times Henry almost caught on that Alex was going to propose and one time Henry had no idea.
❤️🤍💙.
10. keep him warm (Rated M | 4,339 words)
I had some fun with combining a bunch of tropes in this one - a bookstore AU with lots of pining, a power outage, being snowed in and THERE WAS ONLY ONE COUCH!! My second fic for frosted pages & snowbound stories collection.
❤️🤍💙.
It has truly been a wonderful year full of writing (and reading) and I am so appreciative to the tumblr community for all the kind comments, tags and reblogs throughout the year. The WIP games were so much fun and I really looked forward to WW and SSS each week!
Thank you to the lovely friends who tagged me in their Writing Round-Ups @kiwiana-writes, @cha-melodius, @firenati0n, @run-for-chamo-miles, @porcelainmortal
and @iboatedhere, @tinyarmedtrex, @0npurpose - look at all that we have accomplished!!! I've just loved reading all your works this year.
I'll try not to make a gigantic list (like I normally do LOL), but if anyone else would like to share, I'd absolutely love to see! So open tag for sure!
Tagging more lovely friends who have been active and tagged me in tag games or WW and SSS lately! @miss-minnelli, @onthewaytosomewhere, @sophie1973, @firstprincehornyramblings, @stellarmeadow
❤️🤍💙HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS! Here's to a successful 2025 with all sorts of wonderful new WIPs to work on! ❤️🤍💙
Thank you @lemonlyman-dotcom @suseagull5914 @jmagnabo92 @onthewaytosomewhere for the tags.
I actually have no idea what I have shared from this fic and what I haven’t—I haven’t added words in over a month, I have something with a deadline that I’m working on, I am confused, I am disoriented, I only know it’s Sunday because it’s seven sentence time…bon appetite.

Pez loops his arm through Henry’s as soon as he’s close enough to reach and smiles at the bouncer. The bouncer smiles back, clearly charmed by Pez’s aura, and unclips the rope to let them all in.
“Do I even want to know how you got us in here that quickly?” Henry asks and Pez shakes his head.
“Not unless you want to clutch your metaphorical pearls. He was cute though, wasn’t he?”
“I guess,” Henry says, looking back at the bouncer. “He’s not really my type.”
