April Showers Story List

GIF by joelgeov

Tropes loves a good rainstorm, and this event by the lovely @jolapeno is too good to resist!

Rules (slightly amended with the creator's blessing):

  • I'll write for anyone in my current character list, and I'll consider others (but realize I am woefully behind the zeitgeist and may have no idea who you are asking for).
  • It must include rain in some capacity (that's kinda my problem to solve though).
  • The challenge is open from 1st April to 30th April (but you know I'll probably post some late).
  • If a prompt is crossed out, someone has already requested it.
  • Be sure to check out the hashtag #JolapenoAprilShowers to read everyone's stories and see their artwork!

One album is garage sessions that link "Nebraska" to "Born in the U.S.A."! One album is a soundtrack to a movie that was never made! One album is country! One album has an orchestra!

Hi! I love those April Shower prompts! I’ll have to click on the hashtag to read more because I just know they’ll be so good!

You already know I thought of way too many but I did narrow it down to only two. As always, pick whichever one you want, switch them up, however you want to do it because I know I’ll love it either way! Hope you’re doing well!

For the APRIL SHOWERS CHALLENGE 2.0 I would love to see Benny Magalon with

Fourteen: "If you don’t say something, I will.”

Because the way you write Benny is just freaking awesome., heartbreaking and precious. 😊

Hello, anon! This has been written, and it will post on April 14th!

Thanks for sending it in - it was a fun ask to write (I tried to not make it hurt too much).

You Who Wronged by Czeslaw Milosz

You who wronged a simple man Bursting into laughter at the crime, And kept a pack of fools around you To mix good and evil, to blur the line,

Though everyone bowed down before you, Saying virtue and wisdom lit your way, Striking gold medals in your honor, Glad to have survived another day,

Do not feel safe. The poet remembers. You can kill one, but another is born. The words are written down, the deed, the date.

And you’d have done better with a winter dawn, A rope, and a branch bowed beneath your weight.

The Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence River superimposed on a map of Europe

…OH.

I googled it once and the only reason why the Great Lakes aren’t called inland seas is because they are entirely freshwater, not salt.

By any other metric they’d be seas. Superior especially (the big one in the upper left) behaves like a small ocean, and has claimed at least 250 ships and over 1000 people. Gordon Lightfoot wrote a frankly chilling song about her that I’ll include here:

"Black Maria" has been nominated for the 2025 Chinaski Award through the Independent Fiction Alliance. If anyone still has a Twitter account and the inclination to cast a ballot, I'd appreciate your vote!

"Black Maria" is my original fiction novel that was published last October, and it was nominated for an award. So I'm a'shilling for votes.

Please consider "Black Maria" for your Chinaski Award needs, won't you? So far the only award I've won has been the "There's an Awful Lot of Swearing in This Distasteful Book Award," as issued by my aunt.

(I will also release my draft pieces in various assorted fandoms).

Congratulations on your nomination!

Thank you! It's the longest of long shots that I'd win, but I'm just happy to be nominated, and I am also completely perplexed how it happened? Did someone nominate me? Was there a moveon.org petition? Who can say?
