For those who don't know, the Yuletide Exchange is an annual event for Frozen and Beauty & the Beast fans to create and gift fan works to fellow Frozen and/or BATB creators. This means writers, artists, mood board enthusiasts, etc. How it works: everyone who would like to create/receive a fan work will sign up on AO3, stating what kind of gift you'd like to receive and what kind of work you'd like to create. More details to come!

❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹❄️🌹

I know it seems early considering it's only September, but we wanted to give the creators time to work on their creations. Fall is a busy time, what with October festivities and Nanowrimo, so we hope it will be enough time so more people are able to sign up. We're also not going to be hosting any other fall events this year, though @firawren is hosting a BATB event this month, so please message her for more details if you're interested. (BATB Week)

PLEASE REBLOG SO EVERYONE CAN GET READY TO PARTICIPATE!!! Please and thank you :)

DM me or co-mod @paigebstorey if you have any questions.

In light of bill SB593 and that about this time last year was Smut Week prompting some awesome Kristanna fanfic, it’s perfect timing to share this Hidden Gem I just finished reading…

💎 Hidden Gem 💎

Good Cop, Bad Cop by @annas-hair-donut

E, 5 chapters. Imagines what life might be like for Kristoff (detective!) and Anna (devoted housewife!) as a married couple with a teenage daughter (unrepressed Elsa!) — pushing Kristanna to their limit and reigniting their spark. Steamy, thoughtful, transformative.

Another inspiring story from this author which is a perfect example that excellent stories with smut do not contribute to the demoralisation of humanity, but if anything can encourage empathy, reflection, acceptance, growth, hope — the good things that make us human — through the lens of one of our most human experiences.

Check out this under-appreciated fic and smother it in kudos and comments!

“Reindeers are better than people. Sven, don’t you think that’s true? Yeah, people will beat you and curse you and cheat you. Every one of them’s bad except you. Oh, thanks buddy.”

Christmas Wishes, Secret Kisses

All the way back in October I got tagged by the wonderful @firawren in Ficback Friday!

📚 First Bookmark 🔖

Rules: Share (one of) your first Ao3 bookmark(s) then tag others to join!

I thought I might have enough time to get some art in before posting, just in time for Christmas! (But not Friday!)

One of my first bookmarks on AO3 was Secret Santa and the Ugly Sweater Contest by @annas-hair-donut / @loonysama !

Thoughtful, fluffy and funny with just the right amount of seasonal angst, it’s still one of my favourite Kristanna Modern AU stories from one of my favourite authors.

Please don’t post or use my art for any purpose without express permission.

That little ♥️ means so much to creators! It takes a lot of effort to create something and share it with you. We are real people, not AI. When you read a fic or enjoy an artwork, please take a moment to tap that little kudos/like button and you might just impact someone in a positive way more than you could imagine. Spread the love!

Is leaving kudos on fanfics not common courtesy anymore?

Something I've noticed on AO3 in the last two years is the lack of kudos and comments left on fanfics.

Fanfics have an increasing number of hits, but their kudos and comments remain minimal.

I understand that leaving comments is daunting, but kudos is the easiest thing you can do to show support and appreciation for an author.

Part of me wants to blame BookTok and the commercialized consumption of books.

Readers are more demanding and impatient for content, but they're quick to move on once a book is published. It's a constant demand for 'More, more, more' without appreciating and/or supporting authors. And these readers are now getting into fanfic.

I don't want to complain because it's not productive. But if you're new and getting into fanfic: Support writers.

Support means leaving kudos on AO3, and if you're able, leaving a comment. It's simple courtesy.

Well worth reading from the beginning, this BossAU gonna get you all tied up!

Under the Winter Moon

My contribution to the Frozen x Beauty & the Beast Yuletide Gift Exchange 2024 created for @true--north.

Christmas can be a wonderful time of celebration and giving, but sometimes gifts aren’t the only things that come unwrapped. Will Elsa and Anna get their hearts’ true Christmas wishes? Rated T.

Shout out! The dividers in the work were created by the amazing @strangergraphics! Thank you 🩵
