It's July, and — for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, at least — that means summer! How are your characters spending summer? Are they going to the beach, hiking, something else? Write a quick snippet (up to ~350 words) about what your characters are doing!

Alternatively, if it's not summer for you and/or your characters, write about they're doing in July (maybe sledding and drinking hot cocoa, just one example) regardless of the climate!

Hi! I've booked tickets for a Fan Expo on a Saturday. It's my first time going to a con, so I wanted to do a day where everything's happening, but now I'm worried it'll be too busy. Please help me stop second-guessing lol

We all have that one character who's a little dubious to everyone else, but who we still love. Know someone like this? Tell us about it! Explain why you love them.

We all know and love alternate universes, but whether that's Everybody Live/Nobody Dies and Canon Divergence to Coffeeshops and College, AUs are aplenty. What's your favorite AU? Feel free to talk about more obscure ones, too. Tell us about them!

(if you can remember, that is)

As title! What's the first fic you ever remember writing? Whether it was a reader-insert published on Wattpad, a full-length novel on FFN, or anything in between, tell us about it!

Please keep things civil and fun :) laughter is encouraged!

Hi, as title.

I've recently been looking for three YA books: Lost Stars; Rebel Rising; and Leia, Princess of Alderaan on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

But:

The only version of Lost Stars on Amazon is audiobook and a thirty-dollar used hardcover, mostly the same on B&N.

Leia, Princess of Alderaan, is thirty dollars for a paperback on Amazon, same for B&N.

Even worse, Rebel Rising is only available in audiobook and, yet again, a thirty-dollar paperback — but in Spanish!

On the other hand, I was able to buy the Queen trilogy, which is also YA, at regular prices. Has something happened with the above books that I should know about?

Given that it's near the middle of summer, why not share summery excerpts from your fic? Swimming, beaches, just relaxing, or something in between — anything goes!

We all have those tropes that we adore — some more than others, but sometimes, those tropes aren't as loved by everyone else.

Well, they'll probably find some love here! What's your hear-me-out trope/scenario? Tell us about it!

(tagging NSFW just in case)

Ah, the humble crackfic. This type of fic is made beautiful by its sheer absurdity — even more so when we treat it seriously. So, let's make one!

The rules are simple:

Comment under this post with a sentence.

Reply to comments with an even crackier sentence.

Have fun!

We can also have multiple threads ongoing at the same time. Enjoy!

Hurt/comfort, our eternally-beloved.

Whether it's anything from the fluffiest of sickfics to the angstiest of whumps, we all love hurt/comfort. What's your favorite trope? Tell us about it! (and maybe, we'll all get some ideas for all those monthly whump events ...)

Hi, as title! I love popcorn that's sweet, and I have a bag of this in my pantry; is it good?

Hello! I've recently read these novels:

• Master & Apprentice
• The Living Force
• Brotherhood
• Dark Disciple
• Rise of the Red Blade
• Princess and the Scoundrel
• Last Shot
• Shadow of the Sith
• Bloodline

I loved them all (although Dark Disciple, slightly less) and I'm wondering where I should go next! I have a gift card I need to use up, so looking for recs (I'm not quite sure I want something from the High Republic or Thrawn, though). Thanks!

Need a summary for your fic, need to bust writer's block, or just want to gush about your story? This is the place for you! An elevator pitch is 1 minute/100 words (or thereabouts) summary that introduces your story; it's so short and concise that it can be said and done in one elevator ride, hence the name. Come write one for your fic!

Hi, as title. Sometimes when I've had a fight with someone, I get super angry that I'm being treated like that, and I can't say anything in response. But then, I get that feeling in my throat and my eyes feel hot, like I'm about to cry. I'm not sad, just extremely frustrated, and then I feel stupid for crying. So, why does this happen?

Let’s write a crackfic together! Start with one sentence, then the next person continues, and we’ll see how ridiculous it gets. Anything goes — crossovers, out-of-character behavior, chaos, absurd AUs. As long as it's humorous, it works!

Hi, as title. I'm questioning whether or not I'm ace, and I guess some input would be nice?

Reasons why I think I might not be ace:

— I'm not sex-repulsed and do feel some arousal at certain fanfics. Not sure if this is something I'd want to engage in, maybe about 50/50.

— I can tell when someone is conventionally attractive.

— I sometimes think that it might be nice to have a partner, albeit rarely.

— I'm fairly young.

Reasons why I think I might be ace:

— I can tell when someone is attractive, but that doesn't lead to sexual fantasies. Mostly, I get consumed with how good-looking they are, and I imagine hugging them, etc., — in other words, I imagine more platonic vs romantic/sexual scenarios.

— I don't think my ideal future includes a partner. Yes, I experience moments of thinking that a partner might be nice, but when I imagine my ideal life, I don't imagine a partner.

— I don't want children.

— I've had a "crush" before, but more in the sense of wanting a platonic relationship.

Anyway, I guess I'd appreciate any of your thoughts. Thanks!

Hi, I know this request for recs is a long shot, but I just read an amazing Obi-Wan & Anakin fic that has the trope of cuddle pollen; it's like sex pollen but platonic. Is there a chance that any of you know similar fics with this premise? Would love to read them. Thanks!

Hi, as title! I love these two (I've just watched episode five of Ahsoka lol), and was wondering if there's any canon novels featuring them? I've already read EK Johnston's Ahsoka. Thanks!
