The JatP Feb Fan Fest is to provide an opportunity for all fans to show their support for each other and participate in a sort of “Secret Santa’ inspired gift exchange.

Thank You JatP Fan Fest Secret Fantoms!!
~~~
All right so I haven't been active in the Julie and the Phantoms fandom in a long time, and although I know there are definitely still people creating and reblogging in the fandom it tends to be a much smaller handful of people than it used to, which for me felt disheartening and was part of why I've backed off from it. I'd love to see new stuff more regularly and start recirculating older things just to remind myself and anyone else who needs it how much I love this silly little show.
All this to say, I am putting out feelers to see if anyone is interested in a blog that runs consistent, casual event-type things for the fandom to try and revitalize interest in jatp fanworks, like featured weeks for individual characters here, fic rec events, etc. I'm toying with ideas to inspire people to pick up their wips, spark new stories, and highlight older content that didn’t get much attention or would just be nice to see again. I’d like to create a community space to liven the fandom back up for people who miss the show or got into the fandom after the hype died down. Does that seem interesting to anyone?
Happy (belated) gift exchange @nebula-lad @jatpfebfanfest
I know this is so late, but I had a lot going on so I just wasn't able to finish this until now. Also this is not the drag fic I teased (I wish it was, trust me) but that somehow turned into an absolute monster of a fic with so much research that I had to pivot before you would have received your gift in November. So I wrote this instead!!
I hope you enjoy it!
Willex. 9.1k word. Rated T (warning for alcohol mention).
“Hi, welcome,” someone says next to him and Alex startles so much he steps to the side. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” the guy says apologetically, an easy smile on his face. Alex swallows and whatever he wanted to say doesn’t get out.
They guy’s wearing all black, a matching black apron around his waist, which made him kind of blend into the dark decor of the room. When Alex’s eyes travel upwards, he quickly finds that this employee is no less beautiful than anyone else in the store—warm, brown skin, high cheekbones, long, dark hair pulled back, and a friendly tilt of his head—and Alex decides he should not be looking at him like that for this long. Instead he focuses on the Lush lanyard around his neck, a trans pride button and a he/they pronouns button pinned just above their heart.
“Anything I can help you find?” the employee asks.
“Uh,” Alex responds dumbly. “Not really?” He doesn’t even know what he’s looking for. “I think I’ll take a moment…” to look around the store and also re-find my heartbeat, thank you very much. Alex has never been calm when faced with cute people.

HAPPY JATP FAN FEST EVERYONE!! 🎉
Here is my contribution! My recipient is @wolfpats! They said they were a fan of the boys hanging out together at the beach, so I ran with that idea. I imagine that this is them at the beach before their big show.
I hope everyone is enjoying fan fest and I love seeing what everyone made!
Happy @jatpfebfanfest to @onlygenxhere, have some SweetTarts.
Hello, happy February Fanfest Day! For this year's @jatpfebfanfest, my giftee is... @lyxchen! I hope you like the fic and art I made, and I hope anyone else who reads this enjoys it at well.
Happy @jatpfebfanfest, @onlygenxhere. Have some summertime Juke.
Summary: Willie likes to think that they’re a pretty damn good boyfriend. For example, when their girlfriend told them that he was actually their boyfriend, Willie didn’t bat an eye. He simply told Luke he loved him and gave him his first haircut. When Luke’s parents gave him shit about transitioning, Willie sent his uncle to put the fear of Caleb Covington God in them. And when Luke spent hours meticulously measuring himself and researching which binders are the best, only to realize that even the cheapest options were out of his price range, Willie decided to take matters into his own hands.
A placeholder gift for @innytoes while I finish their actual fic for @jatpfebfanfest
Happy JATP Feb Fan Fest day!!!! This is my gift for @interestinglittlerelationship! Hope you enjoy! (Also sorry I'm a bit late!)

Relationship - Willex Rating - Teen Additional Tags - Foster Care AU, Friends to lovers (mainly friends at this point), hurt/comfort, heavy on the comfort!
Summary -
Alex takes a right at the prompting of his phone and spots the hanging sign for Bohemia Roast. A grin spreads across his face when he spots a familiar figure lounging on a table just outside the cafe. He debates trying to sneak up on them for a second, but decides against it. The accidental elbow he got to the ribs last time he tried makes a solid case against it. “Willie!” he calls out instead, tucking his phone into his pocket. Willie looks up and Alex can see the exact moment he spots him, because his whole face lights up. Alex is still a good ten feet away when Willie rushes him, nearly bowling them both over onto the sidewalk with the force of his hug. Alex squeezes them back just as tightly. It’s been way too long since they’ve actually seen each other in person.

“Ohhhh, look who it is Alex!” Luke teases as he catches sight of a familiar crew member helping them get set up for their show.
Alex can feel the heat travel up his face to the tips of his ears. “Shut up!” he mumbles, trying to make sure his voice doesn’t carry across the stage. “I never should have told you.”
