(even though we're more than a week into feb)

make sure to send lots of love to the authors like always <3

— Separation Desperation by valzalea (teen | comp. | 2k)

A hurricane hits Florida and George is, once again, separated from Dream just like before.

— bet your ass i'm right (dnf) by Simplysmitten (expl. | comp. | 12k)

Dream and George like to make bets, even over the dumbest of things. The stakes get higher when they start to wager sexual favors.

— Patterns by youresheesh (expl. | wip | 58k)

Dream and George have been teasing each other a little too much with flirty remarks and sexual comments, so everything comes to a head during New Year's Eve, and George can't seem to keep his eyes off of Dream's hands.

— Game on by giulscio (mature | compl. | 17k)

George plays truth or dare with his friends and he is dared to play a game with Dream, they have to pretend to be dating and the first one who chickens out loses.

— definitely not friends by twostorms (teen | comp. | 9k)

George and Dream grew up together, then grew apart. Somehow, they're lucky enough to get a second chance.

— light in a dark place by twostorms (mature | comp. | 3k)

The sales associate asks Dream if they’re certain about the size, because they have the same one available in a king size which may be more comfortable for two people, and George is certain his face reddens at the realization that oh, obviously she can tell we’re a couple. It’s far from the first time that someone out in public has made the same assumption about the two of them—but it’s the first time the assumption has been made correctly.

— kiss and make up by snowdreamr (teen | comp. | 5k)

Despite his best instincts, George lets Dream do his makeup.

— there was something in everything about you by snakeinaboyband (expl. | comp. | 7k)

George loses a Mr Beast challenge but wins something else instead.

— kiss me with green by Jinxiethefae (teen | comp. | 2k)

— too big to ignore by jestbee (teen | comp. | 3k)

George tells his mum he's moving to America.

— living on a fault line by findingahome (teen | comp. | 1k)

Dream falls asleep on the couch and in George's arms.

— get you the moon by snowdreamr (expl. | wip | 10k+)

It’s George’s birthday, and he finally allows himself to love.

— it could be worse by dizzy (expl. | comp. | 13k)

Dream and George have been sleeping together since George showed up in the US, but George wants a definition for what they are that Dream just isn't giving him.

— i'd take care of you (if you asked me to) by charoo (teen | comp. | 1k)

in which george leaves his binder on too long and dream kisses him better.

— a warm bed as wide as the world by womanhunt (teen | comp. | 3k)

They had been sitting in their living room, Dream worrying aloud about how the sleeping arrangements would go and picking the skin from his nail when George interrupted him. “Don’t be silly. They can just use my bed and I’ll sleep with you or something.” He’d even reached over and gently slapped Dream’s hand to stop him from picking at his nail, a habit he had gotten into from the first time he had seen Dream doing it in person and frowned wordlessly at the action. And, before Dream could even begin to question him, Karl had loudly barged into the room and announced his presence, deferring the conversation for another time. And that’s how they had gotten here, to Dream awkwardly standing in the doorway of his ensuite bathroom, with his teeth freshly brushed and his face washed, unable to do anything but watch George where he was already comfortably lying on his side in Dream’s bed, scrolling through something on his phone.

— once and for all by brokenlikeastitch (mature | wip | 15k)

On the verge of the start of the 20th century, the newsies of lower Manhattan decide it’s time for change. They find themselves in a fight for their lives and their rights. Whatever it takes, the union awakes, there’s change coming once and for all.

feel free to send a fic in if you want it on next month's reclist !

author about me

Tagged by @frenchibi​ !!!

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean?

no it’s not about weed my dad used to call me ricekrispies because of how easily i can crack a lot of my joints. he said i “snap crackle and pop”. so that’s me !

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos)

my absolute fave iwaoi piece that i’ve written, Learning to Walk (So that We Can Run) i’m so proud of it and so glad that it’s gotten so much love

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

it’s a manga cap of oikawa going “so fun~” bc i love my son xD

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

i’ve had a few people who will like, go through and read all my stuff in one go? and tbh i don’t get a lot of comments so really my favorite is everyone who decides to actually comment xD

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

There’s like. so many. i have literally over a hundred haikyuu fics bookmarked alone.

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

according to ao3 i have 12 pages of subscriptions xD some of those have been abandoned i fear but i refuse to unsubscribe in case they return from the dead! bookmarks i have..... idk probably about 200 across all fandoms? the majority of that is haikyuu, but my yoi collection is growing.

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

i’m not really sure... lately i’ve been working on a lot of trans hc’s, but of my published stuff idk if there’s really a pattern

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

116 user subs, 1936 bookmarks

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

at this point i’ve already crossed into writing smut, which was like fear #1 xD

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

I just want to get more stuff written and published! i have so many more ideas than what i’ve actually put out there because I tend to bite off more than i can chew with some AUs...

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

i feel like i write majority iwaoi but of my published stuff it’s only 5/14 haikyuu fics?? xD my drafts folder, on the other hand.... i have a couple “rarepair” ships that i’ve written for (kurodai, hanamatsu) but i think the majority is popular ships

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

19 (but i orphaned a bunch of old johnlock fics lolll): 14 haikyuu, 3 snk, 2 yoi

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

uhhh 122 for fanfic, 84 original

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

usually write them down, but sometimes i like to leave them in my head while i kind of play with different ideas, before it becomes a solid story

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

not yet, but @frenchibi​ and i are gonna do something together !!

16. How did you discover AO3?

probably through tumblr? bc i was living my life on ff.net until suddently ao3 was like. everywhere xD

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

lmao no not at all xD

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

pfft no

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

i don’t really remember? i’ve been writing (non-fandom) since i was a kid, but i don’t know what got me started. childhood is kinda hazy for me D: now, my friends have been a huge inspiration to keep me going, helped beta things for me, bounce ideas around... that kind of thing :)

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

start small. i mean yes, there are people who are successful at like “this is my first fic ever! it’s an 80k wip!!” but i highly recommend starting with shorter stuff. get a feel for world building, character development (esp if it’s original writing!), and oh my gosh endings ?? the worst.

also just write what you love. if you want to hc everyone in the entire show as a bunch of trans gay people, then do it. who cares if that’s “unrealistic”. who cares! if it makes you happy, do it.

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

depends. for short one shots, it’s usually like “oh what if this happened!” and then i just write it all out. for longer things or multi-chapters, i like to outline where i’m going, major plot points, etc. for my longest fic to date (152k) i had a separate like 20k document of backstory, character info, etc.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

happily, no. i’ve had a couple of comments with like, suggestions or polite criticism, but never of the work in general and always really kind and well-meaning.

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

smut continues to be a challenge, tho i like to think i’m getting better at it? and angst. i love to read it, but i don’t think i’m so good at writing it.

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

currently editing my nanowrimo project, rising, which i have now posted chapter 1 of!

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

i have so many pans in the fire it’s crazy but i do prioritize one particular story at a time

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

honestly no. during nanowrimo i did, but i’m in grad school and unfortunately personal writing has taken a back seat to that

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

oh my gosh yes yes yes. a million times. i started when i was like. a child. i have read some of my old stuff and Y I K E S. cringey.

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

definitely my knee surgery recovery fic, but followed closely by an original piece i wrote about my mental illness.

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

um anything i wrote for the bbc sherlock fandom i orphaned many moons ago. xD

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

i want to get back into a little of my original stuff again, but hopefully continue writing fanfic.

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

sometimes when you just get into the flow of it and it feels like no time has passed but you’ve written like 4k in one go xD

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

endings. i don’t know how to finish a story. two of my nanowrimo projects (original fiction) just. are sitting on my comp. unfinished. it hurts :(

33. Why do you write?

because i think language is amazing and i like bending it to what i want to express

thank you so much for tagging me, this was fun and a great way to procrastinate my homework

i don’t really know a lot of authors?? so if you are an author and want to do this, i am officially tagging you :D
