I still really want to organize a Rumbelle Big Bang but there’s no good time to schedule it that doesn’t overlap with all our other events. 🙁

What’s a Rumbelle Big Bang? The way it’s capitalized makes me think it’s a thing I should know about, perhaps because ‘big bang’ in other fandoms but I’ve never heard of it. I’m curious, hope that’s ok.

Also, leaving aside the events that stretch year round, do we really have events that cover every single month? That’s kinda impressive and really cool!

A Big Bang is a fic and fanart challenge that lasts 2-3 months. It works like a lot of our other events with a list of prompts sent out for fic writers. Alternatively, you can pair up people and have fic written for someone’s prompt. After the first month, the writers post a short summary of their fic, much like what you’d see in a summary on AO3 or a fic post. Then artists are paired up with a fic and they make art for the fic, based on the summary. The fics are intended to be longer (at least 10K words) and then fandom gets a deluge of longer fics and art.

I know this fandom has no problem with writing longer fics and we have some incredible artists. But we have so many events I have no idea when we’d ever fit this in. A lot of fandoms back on LJ days did this over the summer or winter hiatus for their shows. It was a way to fill in the time and then have a huge celebration a week or two before the show came back.

Oh that’s cool! What about in between Mantis Menagerie and RCIJ? We had Rumbelle is Hope in May this year so it might just sneak in. Hmm I seem to recall there was also a bit of time between RCIJ and Rumbelle Revelry. I did the OUaT Positivity event but that wasn’t a Rumbelle specific event. Does anything happen after RSS in January/February time?

This is hard, I can’t think of what to suggest, but it does sound like such an awesome premise. I can understand why you’d like it to happen. To be honest I don’t know the schedule of events well enough to work out when there might be time or not. You are probably right that there is no good time which is a shame. It sounds like fun!

Thanks for explaining what it is anyway 🙂

I’m in awe of all the gif makers on this site. Every time I try and make a gif I gain a new appreciation for the skill involved.

I mean for one how do you even make them? My old copy of photoshop won’t load any of the video files I try with it. So I wind up using giphy, which puts the nice subtitles but makes files much too large to work on tumblr.

Seriously gif makers have magical powers.

#I rewatched child of the moon last night#I wanted a gifset of Rumple’s house call#this ones for Henry so it’s on me#but I just can’t do it

Hey *waves*

Yes I agree 110%, the internet definitely needs more Swanfire! One day I hope to contribute something myself. If you can’t wait to post it, does that mean it’s finished? Ooooh can’t wait! 🙂 

Yeah it’s 10 days until the end of the month, so not counting posting day, yup it’s 9 days. Yikes 9 days .. I just need to go and erm write some more .. it’s great to hear from you again. I can’t wait to officially find out who you are, I have a suspicion and in 10 days I’ll see if I’m right 🙂 Have a great day!

So, I FINALLY have time this week to do one of two things. Finish my 300 prompt-a-thon fics…..or catch up all on all the good fic from this summer. 

So, send me all the fic recs people. I’m going to go through RCIJ tags too, so anything outside of that I may have missed. Rumbelle Authors, don’t be shy, send me your works if you want me to check them out  (you can do it via Anon if it makes you feel better) but please do. I always get lost in the tag, or miss out on ficlets

I finished a thing. And @rufeepeach is posting Inheritance now! :))))))) I’ve also been enjoying The Cloistered Heart by @morganfir. I’m still trying to wade through the pile of RCIJ fics, but so far I really enjoyed rufeepeach’s and @emospritelet‘s. I haven’t had a chance to read most of them yet though!

Thanks Raven, I was trying to respond to this post but my dash is being weird and when I try to reblog things they disappear 🙁

I’ve written some stuff and my main WIP, is alternate season six, guaranteeing a Rumbelle happy ending no matter what happens come September 25th.

For recs I’m always terrified I’ll forget someone, so if I don’t mention you, it’s because I’m an idiot. I see you’ve already found and reblogged some of @rowofstars stuff, which would have been top of my list to recommend. I really liked @rufeepeach RCIJ fic Red Lights. @endangeredslug has posted a lot of cool things. I’m not sure when in the summer you took a break, and both @emospritelet and @thatravenclawbitch have already posted but definitely check out their updates. I actually reblog everything I read on tumblr, I just realized that, under my read this tag.

Scanning through it, if you had previously been following @toseehowthestoryends Ruins of Camelot, there’s a lot more chapters of that. @standbyyourmantis has started some cool verses, there’s the Five Times verse, Mr Good Mood, Fairytales and Happy Endings. @worryinglyinnocent had steampunk!Rumbelle for RCIJ and just posted a really sweet happy Rumbelle olympics fic.

Honestly I could probably rec stuff all day, there are so many good writers in this fandom.

Yay! That sounds awesome 🙂 I’m sorry for all the fire and problems but the new plot bunny sounds good. Yes we can always definitely use more SwanFire 🙂

Thanks for the update!

Hey, the more fire, the more Swanfire, right?

…

…

*sits back down* Sorry.

Haha that was exactly what I thought when I typed “sorry for the fire but … SwanFire!!”

Okay, guys, it’s official: If tomorrow Juan Martín del Potro wins the gold medal for male singles tennis I will write this Rumbelle Olympics fanfic myself.

applejackcat

Go Juan Martín del Porto!

(I’m trying desperately to think of a sport in which pushy-coach!Rumple makes athlete!Belle angry enough to follow him into a locker room. Or where athlete!Belle decides she wants to lose her virginity to coach!Gold.)

thestraggletag

Swimming? Either that or skating, but that’s Winter Olympics.

verseblack

*cheers for Juan Martin del Porto!*

Though of course *I* want a fic where Rumple is a dressage trainer who has injured his leg and can no longer ride, and Belle the rider who inspires/goads him back into the sport.  Of course, she forms a close bond with man and beast!

thestraggletag

I’m 100% here for “Rumbelle at the Olympics” to be the next big fanfic trend in the fandom. I want ALL the fics. About ALL the sports. I want this to get so big it’s a category at the next TEAs.

woodelf68

How about if Belle is a pushy reporter who follows Gold into the locker room and gets an eyeful? THERE ARE SO MANY POSSIBILITIES.

ALL. OF. THE. RUMBELLE. OLYMPICS.

ALL. OF. THEM.

GIVE. THEM. TO. ME.

I’ve just had a wild and possibly unpopular thought but I’m just going to throw it out there and see what you guys think.

The Olympics only come round every four years. Why don’t we have a little mini-event thing? Produce as much “Rumbelle at the Olympics” fluff/smut or angst with a happy ending as we can. Set the due date for around the premiere, that way no matter what the premiere throws at us we will be ready.

We had Rumbelle is Hope and this could work on a similar basis. I’d be happy to do what little organisation would be required should people be up for this idea. Just a thought 🙂

The problem, at least for me, is that it kinda coincides with the Rumbelle Revelry, that’s from here till October. I don’t know if it’s just me though.

It does sound like a cool idea.

Yeah I’m signed up to Rumbelle Revelry as well. That’s an exchange though, I was thinking Rumbelle Olympics could be a lot more casual. Like Rumbelle is Hope, no signup required, do it if the mood strikes you and you have time, don’t sweat it otherwise.

However, you are right it does clash. Also we do have a lot of events already. Isn’t the second round of the Blow-off due in September? Plus A Monthly Rumbelling. It’s no matter, I just thought it could be fun, especially if a lot of people were considering writing Olympic themed fics anyway. I thought maybe something special for the premiere, it was a wild thought 🙂

evilsnowswan:

Um, then don’t? I mean, I do this in my spare time, I don’t get paid for doing it and I have a life outside of fandom that does demand my attention sometimes.  

I’m writing for myself, not you. And just because I like to share what I make and love to get feedback on it, doesn’t mean I have to cater to anyone.

It takes me long(er), because I get sidetracked, because I research stuff beforehand, because I don’t always feel like writing, or because, even when I do, the words just won’t cooperate sometimes … 

Do I wish I could write more and faster & update stuff more frequently and regularly? – Absolutely. Do you get to make me feel bad about something I do because I enjoy doing it? – Absolutely not.

Oh, and ‘not to be rude’ ? –

Best use of gif ever ^^

All that is going through my head right now is “wtf??”. Honestly how entitled is that anon? That is just appalling, why would anyone send a message like that? I’ve read it 3x now and my brain is still stuck on wtf.

If the anon doesn’t like waiting for updates, a suggestion tick ‘completed’ and only read those stories. Don’t complain about getting an awesome story for free. Wow, honestly some people *hugs you*

I do have a secret project, which shall be revealed soon. *cue mysterious music*

I’m also trying to get back into the swing of The Blind Spot. I left that hanging way too long.

(day is going great! How about you?)

Ooooh sounds suitably mysterious … I will have to keep my eyes open!

I just got back from an out of town trip and I’m really kinda tired. However, I decided to finish planning my fic for the Positivity Event so progress has been made on something. I’ll start the actual writing tomorrow 🙂

I’m glad your day is going great!

mrgoldsdearie:

Fluffy rumbelle one-shots, please? Smut is not required, but is it highly welcomed. I’m on moble, so direct links are crucial.

Thank you.

Did you read all the Rumbelle is Hope fics? 

Not sure if there are any smut fics included in that. @rowofstars Bragging Rights series is happy and one of my favorites. @emospritelet Made to Measure for RCIJ had no angst and a happy ending. This fandom does angst extremely well, it’s hard to bring to mind instantly very many pure happy fics, though I’m sure there are lots. I bet I’ll feel bad when other people chime in and list all the ones I’ve forgotten.

It’s probably not very politic to rec your own fics, but I got a oneshot – He’s Behind You – which is incredibly fluffy. No smut but it makes me smile.

Rumbelle hugs …
