Moodboard and summary for a hypothetical fic I haven't actually written yet for @jatp-sci-fi-week, Superhero AU, X-Men AU
Julie has always known she was different, has always known that it doesn't usually rain when most little girls are sad and that the wind doesn't suddenly pick up when they are mad. But she has also always known that different isn't good, that being different might have been what got her mom killed, and it certainly isn't something her dad can handle. So she spends years carefully pushing down her powers and trying desperately to keep her head down and blend in until an incident on her 17th birthday shatters all hope of normalcy. She's sure she's on her way to prison or worse until a professor unlike any she's ever heard of shows up to offer her a place in his school. A school for kids who are different. Only he calls them special. Hiding her powers is a hard habit to break but the chance to make real friends for the first time in her life offers her something she never even let herself admit she was missing. There's her roommate Flynn who has some kind of purple energy flowing around her at all times which she can manipulate at will, popular guy Nick who can walk straight through walls, Alex who can teleport (and just so happens to be blue), Reggie who has actual angel wings, and frienemy Carrie whose telekinesis abilities still freak Julie out a little. Then there's Luke, the boy who can shoot literal lasers out of his eyes, and, embarrassingly, seems to be able to see directly into her heart too. All of this is enough to deal with but when a kid named Carlos turns up who supposedly has the ability to jump between universes she'll have to rely on her newly embraced powers and her newly formed friendships in a way she never could have predicted. Because Carlos swears that in the universe he's from he's her little brother...and the fate of all the universes depends on her.

'tis the damn season (write this down)
For your consideration: some JatP Christmas fics
Summaries included below, check AO3 tags for more information
where the lovelight gleams by @bananakarenina
Julie Molina, one of the biggest popstars on the planet, is spending the month of December in New York City to promote her new Christmas album and a huge Christmas Eve concert at Madison Square Garden. Her team has hired her a personal driver for the whole month--Reggie Peters. Julie's struggling with losing her creativity and passion, while Reggie is struggling with just trying to make rent in the big city; he hasn't been really creative in years. Can the two of them find their way back to music before Christmas comes? What else will they find along the way? (Love. Obviously the answer is love.)
you could call me 'babe' for the weekend by @locketletters
“Look, there's no way my parents are going to buy the fact that you’re my boyfriend.” Luke crosses his arms, brows furrowing, “What’s that supposed to mean?” in which luke goes home with alex for he holidays as a pretend boyfriend, and leaves with him as a real one.
Not Found Under the Tree by @breakaway71
There's only one thing Julie wants for Christmas.
Haunted Holidays by @invisibleraven
JatP Advent ficlets 2023!
Our Luxury (A Love Like Stars) by @psyduckappears, @daintyduck99
“So, I bought a ring,” Luke says, casual in the way that usually Reggie would realize is nowhere near casual and much closer to freaking out, but he’s a little busy choking to death on his lunch.
not the last unknown by @bananakarenina
It's Christmas Eve, and the Molina family goes to church. This year they have a couple tagalongs.
Joy To The World by @wishfulstargazer
"Christmas in LA is free of snow, but not of spirit. In fact, between the lit up palm trees, the shop displays everywhere, Feliz Navidad playing on every radio station, and a host of Christmas music and decorations all over Los Feliz high school, Christmas is pretty much unavoidable. It all grates on her nerves. Christmas without Rose Molina is unthinkable. Almost as unthinkable as music without Rose Molina." Can a well meaning trio of ghost boys bring back Julie's Christmas spirit and help her reclaim her music?
From the Heart by @breakaway71
Reggie gives Julie a gift, but she is not the only one to have some feelings about it.
Hallelujah, Everybody Say Cheese (Merry Christmas From The Family) by @a-tomb-with-a-view
Reggie sighs and turns in Luke’s arms to face him. Luke leans forward to kiss Reggie’s nose, his smile playful even if his eyes are huge and full of concern. God but Reggie loves him. “I’m not going home for Christmas,” he admits eventually. “I don’t know what I’m doing, but… but not that.” Luke frowns, and kisses Reggie’s forehead instead this time, having to lean up on tiptoes to do so. “Why don’t you come over to ours?”
Phantom Carols by @invisibleraven
Fills for the JatP Advent Event 2022!
Kiss Me Under the Missile Toad by @wr0temyway0ut
“Woah, little dude,” Willie says as he lowers Carlos to his feet. “You gotta be careful up there. What were you even doing?” Carlos gives Willie a proud grin and thrusts something into their hands. “I’m hanging the missile toads!”
why do i care how much it may storm (i’ve got my love to keep me warm) by @tillstarscollided
There is something special about nighttime snowfall, how it’s quiet and almost eerie with only the lights from the porch to show it, but how that also means you can watch it collect and sparkle in a controlled section of light instead of being blinded by the sun reflecting off the entire landscape of white. There had been snow on the ground already, slowly melting, but this new batch was evening it out, covering up the mud and sludge with a new blank canvas that Reggie really wanted to just go and mess up with snowmen and snow angels, as the ones he had already made disappeared, but it was 1 am and he should be cuddling in bed with his partners, and he has bad impulse control but not that bad of impulse control. or: Reggie’s partners bring him to New York to see the snow, and he hasn’t stopped staring since.
a lonely boy on christmas by @nuandia
Alex doesn’t really think twice. He takes the tangerines and a wrapped sandwich and a bottle of water out of his shopping bag and offers them to him. The boy looks up, startled. His face guarded, his posture tense before he blinks at Alex and then relaxes. He smiles a tentative smile and slowly reaches for the offered groceries. But his eyes are sparkling, making the breath in Alex’s throat catch.  Or, everybody's lonely on Christmas Eve. Or well, maybe not.
Of Hearts Borrowed And Blue by @daintyduck99
“Some vacation,” Julie mutters, shedding the duvet and reaching for the coffee maker.  She still doesn’t know why everyone was so convinced that a change of scenery would do her good—it’s not like Julie can outrun Christmas. Caleb apparently also forgot to mention that everyone in this town is obsessed with the holiday, which isn’t all that different from the current atmosphere at Molina Family Photography.  If anything, Julie’s even more of a grinch here that she would be back home, because she stuffed all of her grief into a battered suitcase, and she can’t just pull it out for every single stranger trying to get her into the Christmas spirit.

🌵🕯️🥑🍅
Thank you for the questions, my darling!!! <3
🌵 ⇢ share the link to a playlist you love
I don't make playlists for fics very often (only three so far and one of them not for one of my own fics) but I have started one for my unpublished wip "Luke & the Phantoms" to see which kind of music Luke would make after his friends die (i.e. angrier and more depressed) but also once he finds Willie (angsty love songs).
The playlist isn't sorted in any way because I just throw things in there when they catch my ear but I'm still happy with the cover ;D
🕯️ ⇢ on a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you enjoy editing? why is that?
XD Anyone who's ever had the misfortune to talk about this topic with me knows that I am weirdly passionate about editing so on the days the brain fog isn't interfering too much: 10
My editing brain is usually more reliable than my writing brain which seems to rely too much on the muse and the stars and whatever else obscure thing. Editing scratches the problem solving part of me and I love working on the details, changing a word here, changing the order of two sentences, adding a dialogue beat until it clicks.
🥑 ⇢ you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?
I've already answered that @nuandia would probably be my first choice because she's nearest (in the same time zone truly helps) but on further thought, it's probably not a good idea to text anyone about a murder.
🍅 ⇢ give yourself some constructive criticism on your own writing
Ugh ... okay, apart from the established 'think twice before using an exclamation mark' I've noticed that I'm holding back a lot in my writing when it comes to emotional scenes. I mean, I've always been more of an understatement girl but thanks to the fatigue et al, I've started to just hide from writing anything that gets (me) too emotional and although I'm not unhappy about the things I've written and am writing, I still think I'm loosing something by not stretching those writing muscles anymore. Take me Through the Storm being the only exception here.
Writing jatp is the first time that I very much visualise what is happening because I can imagine it so well, which leads to me paying a lot of focus on conveying who does what (he smiles, he chuckles, he clears his throat) and less on what's happening inside of the characters. Again, that's not bad per se but it's simplified my writing in some way.
On the other hand, I have become so much better at writing scenes that involve more than two characters so that's good ;D

Above us, dark clouds form.  Are you ready for the storm? 
Fic Storming is a new, multi-fandom server born out of the love of community following JATP Fic Storming’s existence. Fic Storming is home to many fandoms (and is finding more) beyond just JATP, and we’d love to see you there! 
Fic Storming is not only for those writing fics, but also for those who are reading fics, creating art for fics, and betaing fics. It is a community aimed at everyone who enjoys fanfiction in some way or another. It’s a place to gather and discuss fics: posted, in progress, planned, or hypothetical. 
Now, it sounds overwhelming, but the fandoms are only visible to you if you select them. This way, you don’t have to see fandoms you’re uninterested in. 
While we cannot afford to make an author's channel for everyone in a server that is open to multiple fandoms (as was the trademark with JATPFS), each fandom has a Threads channel where you are able to open your own author or fic thread. 
We’ll be waiting to say hey! 
come and join 💜

it’s been 2 years since jatp came out and ya girl is feeling sad today. i went through my google drive again since i missed wip wednesday last week (and went in a different direction this week) and found the oldest jatp fic idea i came up with (from november 2020 rip) and thought today was a good day to share it.
i don’t remember when it occurred to me that our three favorite ghosts missed the entirety of warped tour but it must’ve been around the same time i came up with this idea (i know i made a post about it but i can’t be bothered to find it), because they would’ve fucking loved warped tour.
so. enjoy three idiots falling in love during warped tour (plus bobby who loves them all but Not Like That). (also sorry this plotline is far less detailed than usual, i meant to go back and flesh it out but. i didn’t.)
so if they play the orpheum in 1995 then by all accounts they get signed to an indie label sometime that year (bc it's about the MUSIC yes ok luke we get it) and spend the rest of 95/maybe part of 96 recording an album and going on tour as a supporting act for … someone?? idk it doesn't really matter
BUT WHAT DOES MATTER IS THAT AT SOME POINT THEY GO ON WARPED TOUR FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER and their record label gets them a big ol tour bus bc by that point they're probably doing fairly well all things considered??
so the actual year they go on warped tour doesn't really matter bc the lineup was absolutely WILD back in the day but let's just say it's maybe like 1997 or something so they're at least 19 years old??
while on warped tour luke and reggie (and also bobby but lbr this ain't about him ok) probably hook up with their fair share of girls and are always flirting up a storm meanwhile alex like kind of tries to talk to guys but is really awkward and nervous about it because nobody else is like Out and he doesn't want to get into any bad situations!! so like he kind of starts to pull back from hanging out with the others in the evenings and makes excuses so he doesn't have to be around the other guys while they're flirting it up!
until one night when luke and reggie actually realize that alex is just disappearing every night and going to the bus by himself and being weird and alone so they follow him back and try to find out what's going on but alex is like no guys it's fine i'm fine you don't have to babysit me but they refuse to take no for an answer until alex finally admits that he's just feeling a little left out is all because they're all getting to just be normal and he doesn't feel like he can do the same :(
so then luke and reggie decide to become his wingmen (despite alex's many objections) and make it their mission to find someone for alex to hook up with!!
but of course it doesn't go according to plan and they end up encouraging alex to go up to this one guy who turns out to be very much NOT gay and he starts roughing alex up bc he's obviously a huge jerk and so luke and reggie get involved and luke ends up getting punched in the face and so reggie and alex take him back to the bus to clean him up and reggie runs off to get supplies which leaves alex and luke alone and alex starts to apologize because he thinks this is all his fault and he never should've agreed to any of this!! and luke obviously is like no wtf this is absolutely not your fault it's MY fault i never should've encouraged you to go after that guy he's clearly an asshole and you deserve better!!!
and maybe alex gets a lil bashful and sorta sad bc he hasn't told the other guys this but he actually hasn't kissed a guy before!!! and when he tells luke this he's like ok but you deserve to have a first kiss with someone who really cares about you which then ofc this ends up with luke and alex kissing bc reasons.
but then reggie comes back and is very confused about what's happening but then also is very (horny) upset that he wasn't involved!! "is this what we're doing now???" and when alex and luke try to explain that it didn't really mean anything he just deflates and looks very sad about it which only leads to more questions and then reggie admits that he's sad about being left out because if they're going to experiment with each other then he feels like he should at least be present for it!! (and also involved bc reggie has to be involved in everything) (he's just a grumpy baby when he's left out ok) and so then alex is like "wait… you want to kiss me?? and luke??" and reggie's just like "IDK MAYBE YEAH I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW BUT THAT WAS HOT SO LIKE DON'T JUDGE ME OKAY"
and thus the ot3 is born and they start lowkey hooking up with each other but at first it's probably just making out and maybe some over-the-clothes touching for a week and then it progresses to more touching and probably hand jobs or something idk we'll work it out later.
but they don't tell bobby bc it's not really a Thing it's just something that happens sometimes but obv eventually he probably catches them in an awkward position and they fully expect him to blow up at them or something but in reality he's just like ".........ok so this is a thing?" and then they sort of have to admit that yeah it's a thing and he's like "ok cool i'm definitely straight so you guys just… do you. or each other. whatever." and just like leaves lol

Oh My God They Were Roommates
Here’s my fic for @queenmolina ‘s raffle fic event! I’ve had a blast participating!
Click here!
Rated T for swearing, CW for arguing
No Archive Warnings Apply
Gen
Bobby | Trevor Wilson & Luke Patterson
College AU, Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies AU, Roommates AU, Enemies, Arguing
Check below the cut for an excerpt!
‘And you’re certain it’s him?’ Alex asked, his voice crackling heavily over the near-defunct payphone.
’Yeah, man. I’ve fuckin’ known him for how long? I’d know that face upside down. I’d know that face in a funhouse mirror. I’d know that face in a Tudor painting with Same Face Syndrome. I just don’t get-‘ The machine beeped loudly at him, and Luke paused to unceremoniously shove two more quarters into the payment slots. ‘I just don’t get what he’s doing here. I mean, what are the odds?’
’Maybe they room based on hometown?’ Alex offered. ‘I’ve heard of places that do that.’ Luke could vaguely hear what sounded like a stove ring igniting, a soft fwoomph punctuating Alex’s point.
’Yeah, in Nether Wallop,’ Luke scoffed. ‘Alex, we live in LA,’ he continued. ‘Half of the university could be roomies with me if that was it.’
’Well I don’t know. What major is he considering?’ Through the line came then the sounds of Alex struggling with a cardboard box of something: spurts of increasingly high-pitched tearing and the squeak of a plastic bag being pulled open.
’I ran out before I could ask. Did you know I-‘
’Found the old servant stairs, yeah, you told me.’ Luke could hear the exasperation creeping into Alex’s tone. ‘Why was that again?’ There was silence for a second. ‘And while we’re at it, why are you calling on a payphone? I almost didn’t pick up; thought you were a phishing scam.’
’I didn’t need the Shaws seeing me beelining it away from the room or, even worse, asking me how I’ve been.’ A heat that was beyond his control entered Luke’s tone. ‘I mean what do you even say to that?!’ He could see a couple people at the fairly nearby gas station turn their heads at his raised volume. He attempted to lower his voice. ‘It’s not like I’m a great pretender.’
’No, that’s fair, you’re not.’ Alex paused. ‘… And the payphone?’
Luke took a pause of his own out of embarrassment. ‘… I left my cellphone in the room. Didn’t feel necessary for the walk I took earlier.’
’But loose change was?!’ Alex all but shouted over the phone. ‘What are you down, like two dollars at this point?!’ Whatever was being dumped into a pot over the line had been dumped violently.
’Two dollars fifty.’
’Well I’d ask for your Venmo to foot the bill, but you left your fucking phone in your room, didn’t you!’ Punctuated by the tearing open of another bag, this one perhaps foil, it was clear this wasn’t a question.
’Leave the phone out of this!’ Luke argued. ‘We’re getting off-topic! What the fuck do I do about Bobby?’
’Beyond “miraculously start to like him” I don’t really have any suggestions,’ Alex answered, having calmed down somewhat, and now seemingly lightly stirring something.

Willex and drink 👀
this was so fun to write!
The girlfulloffandoms presents: kickstart my heart (tw:mentions of alcohol)
Willie had never been one for parties, sure there was usually all his favourite people in attendance but it just wasn't his style, neither was cheap beer but here he was at Jackson Donovan's house party cradling a cheap plastic cup of watery $5.92 beer listening to a strange mix of R&B and cheesy boyband pop singing from the living room sound system. Being friends with the host had its disadvantages, but it seemed his luck was about to change.
The music seemed to have changed its tune when the stranger he had been eyeing up from across the room began to head in his general direction, quit playing games with my heart playing over the speakers as the lights seem to dim and the crowd fades away as if they were merely a dream. He seemed like an angel....that was until he fell into Willie's arms spilling both his own beer and Willie on the new beige carpet.
'careful there' Willie chuckles steadying the boy in his arms, blushing when the stranger looks up at him with dilated pupils, a cheeky grin and blonde hair falling in front of his eyes.
'dooooo your parents own a bakery?' Alex slurs,' because you are a cutieeeeeeeeeeeeeee pieeeeee' he reaches up booping Willie's nose with his finger causing the taller boy to chuckle.
'you don't drink much do you?' Willie laughs, blushing a deeper shade of pink luckily not quite visible in the now pink lighting.
'what do you meannnnn I'm a pro' Alex whines a little, seeming to settle more into his arms.
'looking at you right now dude you're a little lacking in skill' he smiles with amusement, slipping his arms around the boy's waist standing him up in front of him with support.
'i'm Alex' is probably the soberest thing to come out of his mouth during their odd conversation that seems to flit from goats to obscure graffiti art that littered some of Los Angeles's finest alleyways (much of it provided by William himself).
'Willie' he smiles holding his hand out for the boy to shake, cool metal against the other boy's skin.
They had moved out from the main living room, now sitting on the bottom step of the hall stairs, where music still pulsed through the floor but at a less harsh on the ears frequency.
'Nice to meet you Willie' Alex shivers a little at his touch, like a rush of blood through his veins, rising to his cheeks flushing them in a dusty peach tone.
'did you come with anyone to the party? I know Jackson tends to invite half the state when his parents are out of town' Willie speaks breaking the short silence between them.
'i did yeah, but they have friends already here, Reggie is probably rambling about star wars, Luke failing at flirting and Bobby trying to keep an eye on us all'
'always has been the mom friend' he laughs, 'me and Robert go way back
'how has he never mentioned such a beautiful guy like you?' Alex's answer catches him off guard causing him to choke slightly on a sip of beer.
'i wouldn't quite say beautiful' he laughs wiping his mouth with his jacket sleeve.
'i'll show you' Alex yawns leaning his head on Willie's shoulder.
Maybe coming to the party wasn't a bad idea after all.

Twenty Questions Writer Meme
I was tagged by @bananakarenina! I'm having a bit of a hectic weekend but this sounded like a fun breather <3
How many works do you have on AO3? 89, mostly for Julie and the Phantoms
What's your total AO3 wordcount? 484,730
What fandoms do you write for? It's still mostly JatP at the moment, but I'm also working on a few Stranger Things fics, as well as one for It (2017)
What are your top five fics by kudos? 1. Hunger Like A Storm ( Richie/Eddie Fluff, It) 2. I'm Covered In The Colors Of You (El/Max Fluff, Stranger Things) 3. The Right to Bare Arms (Reggie/Luke Pining Shenanigans, Julie and the Phantoms) 4. Homenum Revelio (Richie/Eddie Hogwarts AU Fluff, It) 5. If You're Too Shy, Let Me Know (Julie/Luke/Reggie Pining Shenanigans, JatP)
Do you respond to comments? Yes! Whenever I can anyway, I do my best to
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I'm not sure if this fic exists lol...I write so much fluff (there's probably a prompt fill floating around somewhere that fits the bill though)
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? This question is also hard because they're all happy! I honestly don't know which one I'd single out as the happiest
Do you get hate on fics? Not really, no
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes! I don't know what I'd call it...sensual? Intimate? Loving? XD But yes
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? Not a crossover per se but a fusion of JatP and Stranger Things that I came up with with @innytoes where it's a Stranger Things-esque world with JatP characters, there's a ficlet here
Have you ever had a fic stolen? No that I know of 😅
Have you ever had a fic translated? No!
Have you ever co-written a fic before? Several times! The ST summer camp au, as well as all of my ST and It wips, are being co-written by a close IRL friend. @nuandia and I have the dancing with our hands tied series. @jmrothwell and I are currently plotting on uber baby (still the best wip name imo). And @bananakarenina and I have put on that old song in the works.
What's your favorite all-time ship? Even as a multi-shipper...I must admit that my favorite is currently Reggie/Julie 😆 along with any OT3 they're in lol
What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? A few...I don't even list them in wip games anymore because I haven't touched/thought of them in ages. There's the Rulie epistolary and the Peterpatterlina fake dating au off the top of my head
What are your writing strengths? Metaphor/innovative imagery
What are your writing weaknesses? Endings 😭 I usually wrestle with them
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I'll do it sparingly with Spanish, as it's the only other language I have a good grasp on atm
First fandom you wrote for? Officially? It (2017) I think, although I probably still have some long orphaned Gravity Falls fic from high school floating around
Favorite fic you've written? Honestly, it's probably Tangerine (not the full title, affectionately called that for short), the sexy Rulie pirate AU. I just really love how it turned out all around, with the tone and the imagery (and the smut of course lol)
No pressure tagging: @nuandia, @psyduckappears, @tiriansjewel

For the writer asks! H, A, T, Z (it's the closest to a word I could get with the questions I wanted to ask, haha)
Hatz off to you then XD But really, thank you so much!! <3
H: How would you describe your writing style?
Ooof ... starting right off with the difficult questions, huh? I don't know. Character oriented rather than plot driven, but that's more about content than style. The one thing I can definitely say is that listings of threes definitely are a staple of my writing style. Because listing two things is usually not enough and listing four things is often too much. It's the one thing I pick up in my writing again and again but I stand by this stylistic choice so yeah, that's identifiably yeo style.
I am working on my overuse of exclamation points so that's one stylistic thing that will hopefully get better in future ;D
Other than that it really depends on the story. There are some where the writing style is more plain and grounded. Still with a focus of finding the right words to deliver a punch or something. A less is more approach that tries not to overstate things. But it mostly aims at invisibility.
But there's definitely a couple stories in my repertoire where the writing is a lot more lyrical and the words themselves are more in the foreground and I play around a lot more with metaphors and images (while trying not to slip into purple prose) and the 'how it's told' is just as important as the 'what is told.'
I also get influenced easily by other writers. There's a chapter in my Star Trek AU where it's really clear (to me at least) that I was reading a book by Tana French at the same time that I was writing that. So other styles bleed into mine easily.
A: Of the fanfic you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?
Already answered here but I'll give you another one from JatP: Take Me Through the Storm which is an example of the more lyrical style (or actually very lyrical style) I occasionally write in. It's mostly a hurt/comfort fic where Alex comes home from a weekend with his family, a storm of raging emotions, and Willie provides him with the needed calm center.
T: Any fanfic tropes you can’t stand?
Kidfic. I mean, there's some/a lot of kink stuff I'm not really into and avoid but from the generic ones? Definitely kids. Sorry, kids.
Also, before I somehow got caught by a high school fandom, I used to avoid high school aus. Mostly because the fandoms I used to read in centered around adults with lots of baggage and history, which made them interesting to me so losing all that just by making them teenagers was not very appealing to me.
Z: Is there a story you’ve written that doesn’t seem to get much love?
I mean, there's a couple throw away ficlets that are totally fine to stay obscure and neglected but The Last Standing is the one story I wish had more readers but I think my timing was off with that one. It's a story exploring Bobby's transformation into Trevor up to the point where canon stops written very early in the fandom days when people still called Trevor a villain and weren't very interested in Bobby. No ships, just a little character study, trying to understand how he got from B to T, basically. It predates all the more recent prevalent Bobby headcanons so I guess it isn't even interesting for the Bobby fans now ...

Hey! Sometime last week I created a new discord server called JATP Fic Storming. It’s a place for fanfic authors and readers in the JATP fandom to gather and discuss fics: posted, in progress, planned, or hypothetical. 
Each author gets the opportunity to get their own channel where they’re able to interact. These channels can be used to talk to readers about fics, to discuss planning of fics, to chat casually, or whatever they please. There are also private channels for those who’d like to collaborate but have no where else to do so. And then there are channels for our three main roles: authors, betas, and readers. And of course there are also other channels: a general chat, fic recs, a sprinting channel, etc. 
Joining JATPFS can be a lot at first: after all, there are over 50 authors with channels (which is great! there are so many authors for you to talk to!) but it also means it might be overwhelming. We recommend checking out our frequently asked questions channel once you’ve arrived to figure out how to mute channels and manage notifications. This will not prevent you from visiting those channels, just from seeing and/or getting every notification. 
A few basic rules:  - JATPFS is SFW beyond swearing. We do not support JATP smut/NSFW content in the server at all.  - There’s no harassment. This can include bugging authors for updates, for content, for anything that they have the option to provide you with and that you are not entitled to.  - Mainly: we want to keep the server chill and friendly. Please help us do that. Be respectful, be kind. This server is meant to help others discuss fics they love, bring ideas to life, and come together. Please keep it positive. 
go ahead and join!!

Hallelujah, Everybody Say Cheese (Merry Christmas From The Family)
Wc:4646 tysm @on-irratia @curvesomesunsets @wr0temyway0ut @valiantlyweepingdreamer @wadewaits for beta-ing, sensitivity reading and getting me to fucking write this thing (Line especially dude ur the reason there are actual words here)
Reggie sighs and turns in Luke’s arms to face him. Luke leans forward to kiss Reggie’s nose, his smile playful even if his eyes are huge and full of concern. God but Reggie loves him. “I’m not going home for Christmas,” he admits eventually. “I don’t know what I’m doing, but… but not that.”
Luke frowns, and kisses Reggie’s forehead instead this time, having to lean up on tiptoes to do so. “Why don’t you come over to ours?”
This is my @jatpfs secret Santa gift for my buddy Night who isn’t actually on tumblr but is a great friend

You’re My Muse and I’m Your Rhythm and Blues
wc: 5779
Thank you so much @strugglingatart for answering all of my questions
Still feeling the effects of his break up with Luke, Bobby finds himself in a slump with his art. His first ever gallery showing is in 2 weeks,  yet the inspiration is not flowing. He asked each of his friends to model for a different medium. While they are happy to help, all of them know the real reason he can’t create is because he lost his muse. 
This is my @jatpfs secret santa fic, and I’m so happy to announce that I have my dad @a-tomb-with-a-view whom I love and adore. Happy Holidays Meg, I hope you enjoy.
