smubbles-etc's Wanksgiving fest via a mutual on Tumblr last Wednesday night. Per the FAQ,
I wrote a set of 10 Monkey Island drabbles. I collected them in a series for organization purposes; there's no narrative connection between them. None were beta'd and they were all bashed out rather quickly in the spirit of the fest being pretty laid-back. I tried not to think about things too hard and instead just run with ideas as they occurred, so there's ships in there I don't actually ship and even femslash, which I have never written before.
In the spirit of the fest, they're all rated Mature or Explicit. Ships comprise Guybrush/Elaine, Guybrush/OFC, Iron Rose/Apple Bob, Iron Rose/Flair Gorey, Largo LaGrande/LeChuck, and something that isn't exactly Guybrush/LeChuck but they're both in there. They're mostly vanilla (one exception is maybe just a little on the unusal side, not major kink; and the other is more like darkfic than anything "kinky") and the Guybrush/Elaine ones tend to be rather sweet.
Fun fact: Between three authors, there were a total of 24 drabbles for Monkey Island, which was such a large percentage increase in the total number of Monkey Island fics that it took the #9 spot on fastest-growing fandoms that week.
In November 2022 there was an idea circulating to yeet a bunch of short-form porn onto AO3 in a short time period, to offer up as a distraction for people facing fraught family interactions around the holiday season. We had so much fun creating random snippets of porn that we thought we’d make this a regular activity.So they do more than Thanksgiving (you can find a bunch of other events if you look at their Tumblr), but this is the first time I've participated.
