Happy New Year!

[All Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer Masterlists] [Red Carpet Diaries]

Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!OC) Book: Red Carpet Diaries Word Count: ~450 Rating: General: no warnings, just fluff Prompts: New Year's Eve @choicesficwriterscreations & @choicesholidays ; first kiss in the new year @choicesjanuary2024

Synopsis: Alex and Thomas spend New Year's Eve at a Charity gala.

This incredibly gorgeous portrait of my OTP is by the amazing ArtbyAinna (Insta). I've been holding onto this art for almost 2 years. I can't even begin to express how much I love this piece. It is one of my favorites of them ever. It's so tender and soft and romantic and it's so very, very much them. I truly can't thank Ainna enough for bringing this vision to life.

The ballroom gleamed with soft hues of gold, set against brilliant black. Flickers of gold twinkled like stars in the night upon the ceiling. The shimmering decor exuded elegance, while the subdued lighting provided a warm, inviting ambiance for the luxurious New Year’s Eve charity gala. The event began with a cocktail reception, followed by a charity auction, and finally, a countdown to the New Year celebration.

While most of the guests let loose near the bar or on the dance floor, moving to the beats of a famed DJ he had never heard of, Thomas and Alex found themselves drawn to a quieter corner, avoiding the boisterous revelry. The strands of lights behind them warmed them with their golden glow, a serene environment for the pair to lose themselves together while the year ticked away.

Their movements were slow and graceful as the pair swayed to a melody of their own. Thomas held Alex close in his gentle embrace, his hands resting softly on the small of her back. Alex’s arms circled around his neck as she nestled her head on his shoulder. Her eyes closed, relaxing in the comfort of his arms. She knew if it were up to him, he would have left the second the auction had ended, perhaps even before, had they accepted his offer to purchase a few pieces before the event. But still, he was here with her—because of her. A radiant smile spread across her lips; there was nothing he wouldn’t do for her, but that feeling was mutual.

“I love you,” she whispered softly. She tipped her head slightly, her gaze meeting his.

His lips brushed gently against her forehead, placing a tender, lingering kiss. “I love you, too, my Alex.��

The cheers of celebration grew louder, the countdown to the New Year beginning.

“Would you like to join in?” He questioned, though his arms remained warmly around her.

“I have everything I need right here.”

“I could not agree more.”

They leaned in, their lips meeting in a tender kiss even before the countdown was completed.

As cheers of “Happy New Year” filled the space, the pair stayed together, locked in a loving embrace. No matter what the future held, as long as they were together, they would make it through.

“Ready to go?” Alex whispered when they parted. She held her hand toward him.

"Almost." He couldn't resist stealing one more kiss. It was the first of many kisses to follow, but it was enough for now “Happy New Year, my love”

"Happy New Year, Thomas!"

He laced his fingers with hers, guiding her out of the ballroom, without a glance back toward the party, still in full strength. All they needed was each other, their children safely asleep at home, and their beloved black lab.

As much as I'd love to hold onto it, I feel like it's time to share it with the world. I know Thomas and Alex aren't a popular pairing but I appreciate any and all support of them now and always.They will always be the couple that I hold closest to my heart.

Jackie as Immortal Desires MC

They used Chadley's sprite as a random vampire in Book 2 Chapter 1 and it made me think of Immortal Desires as a movie featuring Chadley Fortnum, which then made me think of Jackie as the MC of course!

Tumblr Top 5 and Creator Top 5

It's that time of year again! We will be hosting this event again in 2023, but with a couple changes:

This year, both writers and artists can highlight their works - and if you're both - yes, you can have two separate entries.

In the past, it was Top 3; this year, we're making it Top 5.

For those who are unfamiliar with the event, here are last year's lists: 2022 Tumblr Top 3 | 2022 Writer (Creator) Top 3

All creators can participate! Please see instructions below. Entries must be sent as instructed! Thank you!

THIS IS TWO SEPARATE EVENTS:

Tumblr Top 3 5 (here is last year's)

Creator's Pick Top 3 5 (here is last year's)

You can choose to participate in one or both.

TUMBLR TOP 5:

Your top 5 fics or artworks based on Tumblr notes.

You can wait for your Tumblr-Year-in-Review, which will be available in December, to determine your top 5, or...

If you're like me, your top 5 posts may not be fics. So how do you know? There are a couple ways: Use JetBlackCode Tumblr Top 10 (be sure to set parameters to 2023) Or simply use your best judgment and guestimate!

CREATOR'S PICK TOP 5:

This is completely up to you - it doesn't matter if it got 1 or 100 notes - send us your 5 favorite fics/creations of the year. Remember, these are YOUR creations, not fics/art created by others.

PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! You must follow these instructions for your entries to be accepted.

To participate in one or both events, please follow these instructions:

Please send links for your top 5 fics/creations via DM (direct message) to @jerzwriter between now and Saturday, December 23, 2023.

Be sure to provide the following: 1) Your blog name (if different than the one you're sending the DM from) 2) Links to the top 5 fics/creations and clearly state if they are part of the Tumblr Top 5 or Creator's Top 5. 3) Make sure to note which fic/creation is #1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Please, please, please do this! Please. 😊 This is a time-intensive project, and this will cut back on that a lot!

You do not need to participate in both events, but if you just wish to be in one, clearly state which you want to participate in.

The lists will be posted in early January 2024. If you have any questions, send us an ask or send a message to @jerzwriter.

WE WILL SELECT OUR JANUARY 2024 CREATOR OF THE MONTH AND MC / OC OF THE MONTH FROM THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT!

#choices fic writers creations #cfwc holidays 2023 #playchoices #choices stories you play #choices fanfic #choices fanart #open heart #blades of light and shadow #crimes of passion #the royal romance #perfect match #red carpet diaries #wake the dead #it lives anthology #the freshman series #immortal desires #the elementalists #playchoices fanfic #playchoices fanart

Comfort

Book: Red Carpet Diaries/Hollywood U

Pairing: Thomas Hunt x Alex Spencer (F!MC)

Rating: Teen

Word count: 909

Summary: Alex is less than happy with her performance. Can Thomas offer comfort?

A/N: For @storyofmychoices. I was thrilled when I found out you were my recipient for the Secret Pal Exchange! Not only are you an actual ray of sunshine, endlessly kind and supportive, but your Thomas/Alex fics were some of the first I read when I joined the fandom - and I continue to adore them (and you!). I hope I did them justice in this little story. @choicesfandomappreciation

Even after all this time, watching Alex act is both a privilege and a joy – from a director’s point of view. As the man who loves her… “privilege” and “joy” aren’t enough. Thomas thinks in terms of images, transitions, lighting and shadow. But there are no words in his professional vocabulary to describe what watching her does to him. It’s a sensation that defies words. The closest he can come to describe her work is through oxymorons: painful yet sweet. Calculated yet visceral. Raw yet refined.

Perfect, in many ways.

Which is why he’s so bemused when she leaves the set upset with her performance.

Oh, she doesn’t say so. She jokes with the cast and crew as usual, makes her habitual beeline to the coffee station, and is her normal gregarious self. But. There’s something about the slope of her shoulders, the look in her eyes. She’s not happy with what she did today. And he can’t for the life of him figure out why.

She was damn near perfect, from his perspective.

He starts to walk in her direction but stops himself. They’ve both agreed long ago to keep their personal relationship separate from their professional relationship. And walking up to his wife to ask, “hey darling, why are you upset about your performance, because I can tell you are even though you never even mentioned it?” That crosses the line they’ve both been so careful to set in place.

So he bides his time and doesn’t strike until they’re in the car.

“Do you want to get coffee on the way home?”

Alex shrugs. “I suppose.”

All right, he’s officially worried. Her usual reaction to that question is more along the lines of “duh.” He decides to give up on tact. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong.” She gives him a sidelong glance. “Why?”

“You’re a fabulous actress, my dear, but you’re not a good liar.”

She sighs. “I couldn’t get into Anya’s mind today.”

“You were brilliant.”

“But it was all so technical. I didn’t feel it, I just went through the motions.”

“All right, but… that’s part of why actors learn the craft. Method acting isn’t the only valid kind of acting.”

“I guess,” she mumbles.

He doesn’t tell her she’s overreacting. Alex’s work ethic and professional standards are two of the reasons he fell in love with her. He loves that she wants to do an excellent job. But not at the expense of her emotional wellbeing.

“Do you know what I learned, when I was going through that creative block after The Last Duchess?”

“Your work sucks when I’m not the lead?”

“Hilarious. I learned that it is impossible to force that creative spark. There was nothing you could have done to feel Anya today…”

“Aww babe, thank you. I didn’t feel bad enough already.”

“… Because you already did everything you could have possibly done. You live and breathe that woman. You learned to emulate her accent, you learned how to play the violin, you even traveled to Vienna to tour all her usual haunts.”

“I needed to know her.”

“And you do. I think you know her even better than I do.”

She gasps. “Are you telling me that you think someone knows this movie better than you do?”

“I said the character. Not the movie.”

“Of course. No need to go crazy.”

“As I was saying, you did everything you could possibly do to feel her. And you do feel her, most of the time. Today was an off day, nothing more to it than that.”

“Still. It’s frustrating when you’re relying on technique alone rather than emotion.”

“That’s something every actor must do eventually. The thing that distinguishes a talented actor from a professional talented actor is how they handle those off days.”

“What do you mean?”

“You might not have felt her, but nobody had an inkling of that. I didn’t, and I’m rather exacting about it.”

“You? Nooooo.”

“My point is that you are such a skilled actress, nobody could tell you weren’t feeling your character today. That’s one of the things that make you an artist, rather than just a performer.”

“I got your point a couple of miles ago,” Alex admits with a grin. “I was just having such a good time hearing you sing my praises. You’re pretty stingy with them.”

He side-eyes her but can’t help the twitch of his lips. “You are a menace”

“That’s why you love me.”

“No.” He parks the car and turns to face her. “That’s only one of the reasons. The whole list would take more time to enumerate than we have at this precise moment.”

She blushes. He loves that she still does that sometimes, all these years later. “Well… you could give me a sneak peek.”

“Very well. I love you because you are,” he brings her hand to his lips and kisses each of her knuckles. “Kind. Funny. Sweet, but with a spine of steel. Shall I keep going?”

“Not right now, but as soon as we have that coffee –and boy, do I need caffeine more than I realized– I’d like you to keep going.”

“I think I can do that.” As they get out of the car, he turns to her. “Oh, we need to pick up a treat for Bogart, too.”

A slow smile spreads over Alex’s face. “And that,” she exclaims, “is one of the reasons I love you. In case you were wondering.”

Let me preface this by saying it's not all about notes. If notes were of paramount importance to me, I would have been in another fandom and made vastly different decisions with the pairings that I write for. So, it's not about notes… but an observation.

The fandom was already in decline when I joined. In fact, some bigger creators had already left because so many had left. Even so, it was a very different landscape 2 years ago.

Back then, the unwritten rule (as explained to me by a now-gone creator) was 100. If a fic got over 100 notes, it was good; if it was under, it wasn't.

I never put stock in that because I've read phenomenal fics with well under 100 notes. In a fandom that tends to be very transactional and where politics plays a big part in notes, it was never a gauge for me.

But, as the fandom grew smaller, 100 notes became a near impossibility. Many creators have left as a result, and while it's easy to judge, I can understand. It's difficult to put your heart and soul into your work and have it get very little to no interaction. I think those who remain are the diehards; we’re clearly here because we love the content and the community.

That said, I’m curious about what other writers think about the notes they receive today? Is there a number where you say, "OK, it was worth making post-worthy?"

Personally, anything over 50 leaves me giddy these days. lol If it's in the 30 range, I’m content. But it’s funny because I write for Wake the Dead. I know those fics are lucky if they get 20 notes, but it doesn't stop me. I've gotten some of the most self-satisfaction from writing those stories, and having even one enthusiastic reader is so gratifying. So, what about you...
