My gift for @peppermintfreak as part of this year’s @inkyholidayexchange! You requested a fic centred on the fire-raisers, particularly Basta, the Piper, and the Firefox, and as an overall villain enthusiast, getting a villain-centric request was pretty much perfect for me.
I hope you enjoy it!
I am late… But not too late and that’s all that matters.
Happy Inky Holiday Exchange @tommymcartney! I hope these last few days of 2021 have been treating you well.
I discovered that writing about the Inkworld in English feels incredibly strange (I legit wrote parts of this in German and then translated it lmao), so that was an interesting experience.
I’ve been thinking a lot about stories about stories and the relationship between Dustfinger and Resa especially in the first book and then this little thing happened. I hope you like it!
I had the great honour to gift a little something to @schleierkauz for the @inkyholidayexchange. I tried to incorporate what you like as best as I could and I really hope you’ll enjoy! Without further ado, here’s the thing ✨
“Brianna…”, Roxane interrupted, the tone barely chiding. Brianna stayed silent then, ate her food instead and Dustfinger couldn’t find better words to save himself from his faults. Something death hadn’t been able to wash away. His faults stayed, they would stay. Always.
—-
When Brianna comes home for a week, Dustfinger is reminded of his guilt of leaving again and again. It’s not that he doesn’t want to fix their relationship, it’s just that he doesn’t know how to.
3594 words, no warnings, just Dustfinger trying very, very hard to be a father.
Hello everyone! I finally figured out the collection thing and somehow before the end of the gifting period! Here’s what to do:
And that’s it! Please shoot a dm at this blog if you’re having any sort of difficulties!
The gifting period has begun! From now until the 31st of December you can deliver your gifts to the person you were assigned to. Deliver them privately, post them on your blog, all methods are valid as long as they reach the person they’re intended for. Just be sure to use the #InkyHolidayExchange2021 if you post them or @ us so we can find them more easily! (We’d love to reblog them!)
If anyone is concerned about not receiving a gift, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help.
Additionally, since we got the hint that several of the gifts may be fanfiction (👀) we’ve decided to create an Ao3 collection to house them all. Details on how to access that will be up here on the blog in the coming days so stay tuned!
It seems that time has snuck up on us all and we are now 13 days from the start of the gifting period! If anyone is in need of a refresher, that would be the 21st of December.
The gifting period will last from then until the end of December so if you don’t have your gift ready on the 21st, don’t freak out! Similarly, if you don’t receive your gift immediately, hang on in there! If you’re worried about it though, feel free to message us and we’ll look into it.
If you make posts to show off your gifts, be sure to tag them with #InkyHolidayExchange2021 so we can find them more easily and share them here on our blog!
As always, feel free to message us with any questions you may have. We’re looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!
It's Halloween (if you're into that sort of thing, otherwise, happy Sunday!) which means that today is the last day for sign ups and we start working on assignments tomorrow!
An important note!
Since this fandom stretches all over the world, we've decided that adhering to a specific time zone might make things a bit clearer for deadlines and such. We'll be sticking with PDT! Additionally, we'll be working on assignments during this week and hope to get them out before the end of it. However, all of our team members work or study so we ask you be patient if we take a little bit longer than that. Nobody will be left without an assignment! Thank you to all those who've already signed up! We're excited to properly get started :D
Only to love Cornelia Funke's Inkworld books (you don't even need to have read all of them!) and to fill out this survey. This way we can pair you up more effectively!
From now until October 31st, sign-ups will be open to anyone interested in participating. You sign up by filling out the survey linked above. During the first week of November, our team will assign you the person you will be making a gift for. We'd like for the gifts to be a surprise, so try not to contact the person directly! The gifting period will be from December 21st through the 31st. We will check in on all participants just before the start of the gifting period to make sure everything is running smoothly! You can choose to reveal yourself to your giftee at any point between the 21st and the 31st of December via a post that you will tag #InkyHolidayExchange2021 so we can find them more easily. Feel free to message us with any questions you may have!
