Ask me about the show. Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.
We should do that again. We know Belle wants to see the world. We know Rumple wants to be the one to show it to her. Now they have their happy ending with their baby, and can leave town without worrying that everything will be on fire when they get back, it’s safe to assume travel might be in their future.
Would anyone be interested in an event over the summer with stories about those travels? There’s the whole world to choose from, and any kind of adventure you want.
How about the time they went to Rome and accidentally ended up solving a murder? The time they went to Thailand and discovered dragons also made it to the Land Without Magic? The time they went to the Bahamas and spent a solid week on the beach, and Belle discovered that where logic and reason fail, the promise of her in a red string bikini, Gideon wanting to paddle, and a private beach, is enough to tempt Rumple into slightly more casual clothing?
…I also kind of want to call it Rumbelle Happy Trails but that might be misinterpreted xD So how about Rumbelle See The World?
Thoughts?
1000% behind this. Count me in! I think it’s a brilliant idea and utterly perfect for Rumbelle!
I wasn’t around for the previous ficathon so I don’t know how this will work but I’m in no matter what really. Just tell me what I have to do and I will do it 🙂
What was cool about the Hamburger Dates one was that there wasn’t one big posting day – instead, everyone who signed up got assigned a day to post (some days were double-booked, I think), so for like fifty days there was guaranteed at least one awesome fic posted 😀 There weren’t any penalties for not posting, either, it was just a fun way to fill the winter hiatus that year before RSS.
On the other hand, that might be a lot of effort, so one big posting day mid-august could also work.
If you need help organizing I volunteer. I’ve seen that kind of “claim a day” thing before, not for fic but for pep talks during November NaNo. There was a spreadsheet on google docs and people added themselves to a free day. That might be a good way to do it. This is your show though so just let me know if I can help in any way 🙂
Synopsis: Avonlea is burning. Entire villages wiped out, one by one, as Maleficent in dragon form rains down destruction from the sky. A war party is dispatched; their broken and shattered corpses returned with a puff of magical smoke. Several brave knights set out, seeking to became dragonslayers, but none return alive. Princess Belle decides it’s time for a different approach. She goes into battle not with a sword but with her compassion and a pouch of fairy dust. Belle strikes a deal with Maleficent. Her kingdom, her friends, and her family will all live if Maleficent gets one last act of revenge. Belle willingly goes under the sleeping curse, facing eternal sleep; her only hope is that someday her prince will come…
Note: Written for @maydaymenagerie. @tinuviel-undomiel I’m your backup/replacement zookeeper. I am so sorry for the delay! I feel awful about it. I don’t know if it was this fic or just this month but words haven’t come easy. This fic is very much a group effort really because I couldn’t have done it without the help and support of @little-inkstone and @worryinglyinnocent, but especially @mariequitecontrarie who beta read the first two chapters and gave me a shot of hope when I really needed it. Any mistakes are mine.
There isn’t any smut in this fic, and I know that you ticked the smut box. I was going to write a separate smut oneshot immediately following on from the fade to black at the end. I haven’t done that yet, and given how long you’ve already been waiting, I didn’t want to wait any longer to post this. So I know ‘to be continued’ isn’t really allowed but this is a complete story, it just doesn’t have smut. Sorry about that. I will write the smut and tag you as soon as I can.
I see on your blog you weren’t well yesterday. I hope you are feeling better and I hope that you’ll enjoy the fic!

I laughed when I saw this because I have the Farscape theme playing right now! I just watched an episode and the DVD is idling while I was fiddling on tumblr before watching the next one. Aeryn is great. For a while I just saw Vala (as I watched Stargate SG1 first) but now I see her as her own character.
I’m on season three right now and no spoilers but it kinda broke my heart how she got softer, and started to trust, and then there was that death, and she closed herself off again. It could be seen in how she was wearing her hair. Poor Aeryn 🙁
Last month I wrote a fair bit of smut. It was almost embarrassing actually how many smut fics I posted. This month I’m looking at the list and I have smut fics to write and I really don’t want to write them. It’s like I’ve lost all impetus to write smutty fics. Does anyone else get that?
Go with you flow 🙂
If the flow tells you no smut, then no smut.
There can be too much of a good thing 🙂 If you eat ribeyes steak everyday, it’s delicious, but you’ll need a break.
So get to it a little later when the call of the Dark D and the librarian V gets loud again 🙂
All the time. Maybe it’s time for fluff, or worldbuilding, or costume porn. Maybe there are some plot bunnies that need to be pulled out to see if they’ve shown any sign of turning into Actual Plots.
This makes me feel better. Thank you guys! It’s just frustrating when there are events and stuff because they are obviously time sensitive. Words generally are being a bit of a pain at the moment, and with smut I’ve always needed it to be more than just about the act. Maybe if I can find the missing emotion, or character development, then it’ll give me the impetus. If not then I guess I’ll just have to sit this round out.
Never ask me I’m the worlds worst enabler for stuff like this…
I’m a fan of events like this, it’s just the community aspect, being a part of something. Plus I always hope that I make my giftee happy. I mean it is also incredibly nerve-wracking but for me the good has always outweighed the bad. So yeah I’m hopelessly biased. That being said do you have time? Will it be fun or stressful? Ultimately do whatever makes you the happiest 🙂
Yay I’m so pleased to hear that you signed up! I’m excited too! Gift exchanges have a peculiar magic. It’s better than christmas waiting to see what prompt I get, but it’s also incredibly nerve wracking at the same time. Scary but fun! I sent in my sign-up this morning. It’s all happening heh 🙂
You are so very welcome *hugs you* my askbox is always open, feel free to message anytime should you need. I’m usually pretty good about responding quickly unless I’m sleeping. General rule is if I haven’t responded within 24 hours tumblr ate it, I don’t know why tumblr likes to eat things but it does.
I would remember that there’s no word length required (if you’re a writer), and it doesn’t have to be some epic fic. If you’re an artist, silly little doodles are just as much fun as polished drawings. If you think your imagination can come up with something based on whatever prompt you get, then I say go for it! The only way to get better at anything is with practice, after all. Plus you can always ask for brainstorming help from the mod of the event, if you need it, or someone else. Whatever you come up with, I’m sure your giftee will appreciate the effort you put into it. Fandom’s about enthusiasm, and sharing things, and that matters more than how good of an artist or a writer you are. Jump in, do your best, and have fun!
@woodelf68 I hope you don’t mind me chiming in on this.
Anon if you are enthusiastic about participating then please do! Personally I think enthusiasm, love for rumbelle and this community, is the most important thing. Everything else can be helped with but the enthusiasm has to come from you, that’s what it’s all about.
I assure you that your giftee for RCIJ will love anything you make because you made it for them and you put effort in.
I know it’s still scary though, I have a crisis of confidence on a regular basis. It’s because of that, that I can guarantee you that if you are nervous and you need support, then this fandom will step up. That’s why I joined this fandom because the people are lovely.
That being said I can understand being scared. I find it really intimidating to approach other people, especially if I’m asking for something like help. Now, I’m sure that you’ll get a lot of other offers but have a blanket one from me. If you need a support buddy for RCIJ then my askbox is always open.
Years ago, probably eight years ago, I found 24 for sale on eBay really cheap. I was quite enamored with getting TV boxsets for under £1 so I bought the first six seasons before I ever watched the show. I mean 24 was such a huge thing and it was definitely my genre, I was mystified back then as to why I had never seen it. I figured I would love it!
Fast forward to present day and I have just about managed to force myself to watch most of the first two seasons. I can’t quite bring myself to watch the rest of season two. I think I have 4 episodes left but I just really don’t care. It is unbelievably boring and ridiculous and I seriously hate Bauer’s daughter, but I digress I’m talking about the movie. I’m only saying about the TV show because when I put this movie on tonight, I was anticipating it being awful. I literally groaned out loud when it did the “the following takes place between … events occur in real time.”
Oh boy was I wrong. Oh was I wrong.
There was shouting at the TV. I have been known to do that before *cough* but it’s not something I do all the time – I have to be driven to it. I knew before I watched that Carl Benton (Robert Carlyle’s character) was going to die but I didn’t know how or when. So I was constantly jumping every time he was in danger, and I was practically chewing on my fingers because I was scared for those kids.
The anxiety was real. I think 24 would be much improved if they condensed each season into a movie. Although I don’t know if I would survive watching it. Anyway, leaving aside the incredible suspense how was it? Well there was obviously some setup being done for season seven, and as I don’t watch 24 I really didn’t care about anything except for the kids. So all the stuff in Washington was lost on me. I also found the ending kinda bittersweet because the kids made it – phew – but all those other desperate people were left behind, and all the kids already brainwashed into the army were suffering. So it didn’t exactly feel like much of a victory, especially because Carl was dead.
I hoped to see Carl being a badass because he was ex-special forces. However, his first encounter with bad guys was just the sound of gunshots – we didn’t see anything. The next ‘action’ scene for him, was him shooting rather uselessly at a helicopter. After that was his death scene. So unfortunately no cool scenes with him taking out bad guys, that honor was of course left for the hero – Jack Bauer. Couldn’t you have shared the limelight just once Jack? I wanted to see Carl being a hero.
So yeah the lack of Carl being a badass was disappointing. His screentime also wasn’t fantastic but then it wasn’t that bad either, and it was only an 80 minute movie. I think for Robert Carlyle fans I would recommend it (see opening gif for exhibit A) and yeah it’s a good suspense movie, so recommended on that basis as well. It was definitely a million times better than I thought it was going to be, it had to overcome a fair bit of negative expectations, so yeah not bad at all.
vomit / don’t ship / ok / cute / adorable / sexy / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying /i will ship them in hell
My newest OTP! I think Rumbelle is #1 which is why I’ve striked out the top thing, because Rumbelle has to be in a league of it’s own, but man I really ship Fitzsimmons. Best friends to lovers, equal partners, science buddies – they both dove through holes in the universe for one another.
What’s actually incredible is that they are the main ship on Agents of Shield, which means all the characters ship them and there are so many amazing moments. This ship is an absolute gift. I just wish that a) I wasn’t 5 episodes behind the US and b) stop tearing Fitzsimmons apart! Honestly just let them be happy together for once!
