Hi! Would you be running this event again? And if so, when?

hiya! i’m thinking about running this again in the summer 💗 i’ll probably put out an interest check at some point, and maybe a poll to see if people would prefer some of the changes i have in mind for the next.

thanks for getting in touch! 💗🤍

maze women 2023: free space

so i got carried away with my fic for this space and as it turns out i will not be able to finish the whole thing in time for posting it all at once before midnight, which makes me sad as i am SO CLOSE. however it said on the rules that WIPs were allowed and i refuse to not get bingo so i will post a snippet here.

@themazewomen

speeding 72

brenderesa college AU, 2nd person pov of teresa. set in the universe of my other fic ‘all we do is drive’, but both this snippet (and the whole fic when posted) are completely standalone.

(312 words)

You’ve never been to a park at night, but this one feels safe enough. It’s well-lit, there’s lots of cars and people nearby, and you don’t see nearly as much broken glass and discarded cigarettes as there were at the local park you grew up near. 

Thomas books it for the swings the second he turns off his car, Brenda excitedly following. He’s been a little reserved up until now, so this change of energy is amusing. Alby and Harriet calmly walk over and take opposite seats on the see-saw, riding it as they have what seems to be a semi-serious discussion on the upcoming election. You figure it’s best to leave them to it.

You lean against the car, watching your new friends with a mix of fondness and aching. You haven’t been to a park in a few years, since Aris grew out of it and Chuck pretended that he grew out of it, too. You fiddle with your hands, unsure of what to do. It feels weird to start swinging or sliding without your brothers, without a good excuse.

After a little while, you start looking out at the city, watching the cars go by. You grew up in the suburbs, so this has been another change to adjust to, even if it’s not the campus. You sigh, feeling out of place.

“Hey,” Brenda suddenly says, now next to you. You turn to her, and her eyes are wide with a youthful sort of boldness. She grabs your hand. “Come on.”

You would say she drags you along, but the truth is you run with her willingly, like it’s something you don’t have to think about or put effort into. You probably should have thought about it, since you’ve only met her once, but you don’t. Instead, you just watch the wind fly through her hair as she runs.

full board!!!!!!! congrats molly, that’s impressive! 💗🤍

You give me prompts I will create for them @themazewomen

Had an absolute blast doing all of these, some were prompts I’d never normally do and it got me to create for some of the more overlooked ships of the fandom!! Power to the women (and Alice for making the event)

#itsthemxze #themazewomen2023

[themazewomen]

The maze women prompt: (love) letters

Harriet writes letters during the months Sonya is gone, finding some way to process how she’s feeling.

Canon compliant, post tst and pre tdc, missing scenes, fluff and angst, letters, love letters

#itsthemxze #sonyarriet #(love) letters #themazewomen2023

[themazewomen]

The maze women prompt: confessions

Teresa is finding hard to settle in to the safe haven, but Brenda hopes to help with a confession

Teresa lives, canon divergence, post canon, guilt, fluff and angst

702 words

reminder that today is the deadline to officially get bingo! submissions must be in by midnight in your timezone with a grace period of however long it takes me to compile the roundup post. i will however keep reblogging any creations that come in after the deadline, and you’re free to keep using the prompts however you like! 💗🤍

The maze women prompt: nightmares

Sonya has a hard time after being with WCKD, almost every night she’s screaming herself awake. But Harriet us always there, to sit with her and hold her through it. The nightmares may be rough, but they always come to an end

#itsthemxze #sonyarriet #nightmares #themazewomen2023

The maze women: free space

The women of the maze women go to the cinema, what do they see and what do they wear

The maze women prompt: music

How I imagine their music tastes
