Calling all Shadowhunters fic writers!

This blog will be dedicating a single day to show the fandom’s appreciation for your creativity on National Author’s Day, but I need your help in order to pull it off. Please write a short message about your perspective as a fic writer to be shared on the blog throughout the day on November 1st. 

Not sure what to write? Here are a few potential ideas to help you get started:

  • What does writing mean to you?
  • What does sharing your writing mean to you?
  • What are your experiences as a fandom writer? Is there a specific memory that stands out to you, as a fic author, as being especially significant?
  • What is your favorite thing about writing fics (I.E., reimagining your favorite characters, connecting with your readers and other authors, etc.)

In order to participate, please submit your response by using the fillable form here. It will remain open until October 20th at 9:00 P.M., EST.

Summary:

It took a tremendous effort – too much of an effort really – for Magnus to sit up and glance over the couch. Magnus absolutely hated feeling so pathetically sluggish and unsteady. In his long life he had only contracted the flu once before, but he didn’t remember feeling this poorly at the time.

Magnus has the flu, Alec takes care of him.

Summary:

Alec shivered hard and let go of his boyfriend’s hand to wrap his arms around himself.

“God, it’s freezing. How are you not cold?”

Magnus frowned at the Nephilim. It was a muggy day, with barely any breeze, though they were taking a walk outside.

“Is that supposed to be "how’s the weather down there?” joke? Because if it is I resent that. I’m only a few inches shorter than you Alec, a FEW INCHES.“

Alec shook his head, his shoulders jumping as he shivered.

"No, I’m serious. It’s cold, right?”

Alec isn’t feeling well.

Summary:

Even the strongest shadowhunters get sick every once in a while. Especially when they don’t take a jacket on their missions when it rains, even though their warlock boyfriend told them to.

“I have to get to the Institute.”

Magnus shook his head firmly and pulled Alec back onto the mattress. “No way. You are not going anywhere today. Sorry to break it to you, Alexander, but you look like death and – “ He reached out one more time to feel Alec’s temperature, just to be sure, “yup, and you have a fever. You’re staying in bed today.”

Summary:

A long time ago, King Valentine, of the rich kingdom of Alicante, attacked the southerner kingdoms. He searched for triumph and annihilation, for uniting the realm under his rule and his alone. Instead of the easy victory, though, the greedy king found defeat and death, for the four kingdoms united for the first time in history, forging the Downworlder Alliance. As a result, the great families of the north were forced to deliver their firstborns to the Kings and Queens of the Downworlder Alliance, and so ensure their fielty and crush any further rebellions before they even sparkled.

Only, boring history lessons had always annoyed the Prince of Darkness and heir to the Kingdom of Edom, Magnus Bane. As the anniversary of his Mark Day arrives and with it the Victory Tournament, he figures the only good thing the Mortal War really brought was his father’s hostage, the quiet Alec Lightwood, eldest son to the once great Lightwoods of Alicante. Good could become great, though. Magnus needs only figure out a way to get that boy away from the practicing arena and into his bed. After all, he couldn’t possibly celebrate his day of honor without a suitable gift, could he?

Summary:

Imagine A keeps leaving gifts for B (chocolates, flowers, love letters, etc) as an obvious hint that they have an admirer. Except B is dense and gets confused as to why someone keeps leaving their shit all over their desk, bag, and locker.

Alec starts receiving gifts from a ‘secret admirer’, which are sweet but unexpected. His disbelief in the possibility of anyone liking him clouds his judgement, and with each one he receives, his puzzled confusion grows. What he isn’t aware of, is that he does actually know who his secret admirer is, and whether he believes it or not – they’re a lot closer than he realises.
