Feel free to ask/message any questions! Writer/Artist sign-ups are closed. (I run on Eastern Standard Time) We also run a writing challenge which is open to all writers!

Looking Toward the Future

I wanted to come on here to let everyone know that we will not be doing round 3 this year.  It’s a lot of work for me to do this by myself, and the participation is small, and I’m just not in the spirits to do anymore at this time. I know a lot of people in this fandom are feeling a similar way, which breaks my heart a bit, but it is what it is.

This does not mean that we won’t ever come back. If the fandom gets a spring in its step somewhere down the road I would love to continue this little project of mine.

I am so happy that people were able to have some fun and work with an artist to finish their works in progress. I know I still have a few unfinished works sitting on my own AO3 account, so just know that I am super proud of you guys for doing what I and many others could not. You finished your fic!!  

I want to send out a massive thank you to everyone who did participate in this collab over the last two years!  You guys wrote some amazing stories and created some amazing art! 

I might come back with the occasional writing challenge, but that’s all for now!

If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to message us or contact me @irishsunshine-n-l-l-h (though I admit to barely being active on there so maybe  @evilfriendofmine might be the better suited url). 

Again, thank you all for your support and participation! And remember, you don’t need me to finish your fic! (but if you do need a bit of a kick, I’m always here to help)!

Thanks!

-Amy (mod)

(Also, if anyone has not yet posted from this round or round 1, you can still finish your fic, add it to the AO3 collection and tag us! I still want to read your fics and see your beautiful art!)

As you may well know, there is a lot of legends and stories concerning Robin Hood. All different too. Well, this is the true version of that world renown tale. It is the story of what really happened in Sherwood Forest.

Zayn and Louis have a good thing going, but when somebody new starts working at their office they can’t help but wonder if things could be even better.

James,
I am so sorry that Sean’s disloyalty has caused this for you. I know that I pushed Sean to be cautious and worried about their intentions and this all comes down to me. Words cannot express my regret to you. I want to help in any way I can though.
Come to London. See your niece and nephew and meet my newest little one. We will talk in greater detail then- away from prying eyes and eavesdroppers. Loose lips sink ships, love. Tell no one you are meeting me. Tell them you only wish to see your future target. They love hearing that melodramatic shit.
Love always, Niall Jamie Horan Cullen Styles
OR
Niall is trying to keep her family and country together. Eventually she’ll have to choose.

Hi all!

The posting schedule it up. If anyone has any issues let me know. Sorry about the late posting again. I am really horrible at running this thing.

I know my brain isn’t totally with it (I asked my dog what I was supposed to remember to put on the shopping list this morning) but I don’t think some people have done their check-in for last week.

2nd Check-Ins

I just sent out an email about the Second Check-In and all it entails. I only need to get an email back from the writer with all the info for the check-in. I’m a couple days late sending it out, so I gave you guys until July 30th to send me everything. 

Let me know if you didn’t get the email or if you guys have any questions or concerns.

Reminder that this is one day left to send your second check-in info! I haven’t gotten stuff from everyone yet!

Alrighty so I have just sent out all pairings for Artists and Writers. I honestly somewhere along the line, switched two of the writer’s names on my little sheet to keep track of everything and thoroughly confused myself. (it’s just been one of those years for me haha). But we are all straightened out and ready to go! 

So everyone should have gotten an email pairing them up with their collab counterpart. If you didn’t get an email, let me know!

Happy creating!

For anyone doing the 1d Back For You Collab, yes, I know artist claims we’re over a week ago. I haven’t been on my computer. I’ve been slacking. I gotta do something, then I will get things rolling again.
