Evil Author Day

Evil Author Day

Evil Author Day is an annual event begun circa 2010 and since then wildly popularized by Keira Marcos and her dastardly partner in crime Jilly James.

The play is that authors pick something from their WIP folder that may or may not ever get updated or finished, and share it on February 15th. Some pick multiple WIPs. It's Read At Your Own Risk because for EAD, anything goes, and while you should never pester an author for more-- it makes you look especially stupid on EAD, when the warning is on the tin. 'This might be all you EVER get. Seriously.'

Jilly hosts a list of participating authors each year on her site, and the event is much hailed on the titular dreamwitdh community. I look forward to presenting my offerings!

Feel free to comment and engage, but remember that unsolicited 'concrit' is not tolerated.

Summary:His counterpart laid back carelessly, braced on his elbows.

“So if you’re like this taciturn version of me, who have you dated? Don’t glare at me like that, Sage, you look like you’d get along with violent-ass Hinata.” Mercurial, his complaint shifted to glee. “Wait, did you? Did you date Hinata? She looks like she’d be so mean in bed, but she’d definitely peg so there’s that—”

“Stop talking.” Sasuke’s intellectual curiosity waned as his urge to throttle the other boy became overwhelming.

With Flying Colors
Relationship: Gen
Genre: Crossover, Gen
Length: 25,700 words
Note: this is the only "finished" fic on my EAD, it's my rough trade from March of 2022. I haven't edited it and might ultimately change a lot of details/rewrite it, so it constitutes a lovely EAD piece.

At the dawn of a new age of magic, Midoriya Izuku is born with a golden key in his hand and the power of a Celestial Spirit Wizard. He sets out to pass each test life throws at him, with old friends at his back and new ones on the horizon.

Harry Potter

To Every Length
Genre: AU, Gen, Adoption
Notes: Canon AU set in the ‘marauder’ era, This is a spitefic about Minerva McGonnagal letting Dumbledore tell her what orphaned boys she can and cannot adopt in canon, which I think is just horseshit. The magical worldbuilding, rituals, and Zirnatra the god of sorcery are all from Keira Marcos, who I think handled every bit of that better than JKR. This is fanfic of both. TLDR; McGonnagal adopts Snape after his mother dies.
Warnings: I’ve invented some horrific history for the Snape family, mentions of off-screen mind-control, rape, and incest that happened decades in the past. None of the above actively happens to any character in the fic.
Words: 6,700ish
Summary: On the worst day of his life, Severus Snape has someone in his corner.

Solanum
Genre: Crossover, Romance (slow burn), OC, First person POV
Notes: This was one of my ‘failed’ QB attempts. It’s a twilight crossover and in the first person, with a Longbottom OC. OC wakes up in Bella’s body just before Twilight starts. Worldbuilding and noble type stuff, and Hermione Potter, inspired heavily by Keira Marcos’ superb worldbuilding choices.
Words: 14,300ish
Summary: Belladonna Longbottom does not know why or how she’s on another world, wearing another skin, but by god she’s going to get to the bottom of it. Fortunately, paranoia and undectable expansion charms have left her well-equipped for the challenge.

HP/Skyrim Fic- Untitled
Genre: AU, Gen, Adoption
Notes: Canon AU where Harry handles the Chamber very differently. He's furious at everyone for the Hermione thing and realized they had absolutely no rights in Wizarding Britain-- that they were not safe. He grabs Hermione and fucks off to Skyrim about it. As always Keira Marcos has rewritten my brain re: HP worldbuilding and magical systems, so if you see anything familiar it's because I'm pulling from that just as much as canon.
Warnings: Rough draft, so present/past tense issues probably
Words: 7,800
Summary: Instead of killing the diary, Harry makes a deal. Hermione Granger is still petrified and that is intolerable. First year introduced him to the wizarding world, but second year showed him that neither he nor his best friend were safe in Wizarding Britain. So they run.

Naruto

Baby Team Seven Time Travel
Fandom: Naruto
Genre: Time travel, light romhttps://timothywren.com/2024/02/15/baby-team-seven-time-travel/ance
Notes: I was trying to write time travel for the big moxie, but the wordcount fell short! Either way, something got written.
Warnings: Canon-typical violence mentioned
Wordcount: 1976
Summary: In a world where Team Seven never split apart, the three of them have never met a challenge they couldn’t conquer, an obstacle they couldn’t obliterate. So, it probably shouldn’t surprise anyone that they’ve set their sights on the impossible. (Even less surprising: that they actually manage what no one has before.)

Chronicles of Vladimir Tod

Thrall; golden weather; all war and no surrender
Genre: Romance, Smut, Friends to lovers
Fandom: Chronicles of Vladimir Tod
Notes: I shipped these two like burning as a tween, and there’s something incredibly hot about a vassal and his liegelord; or in this case, abusing psychic bonds for sex, star trek style.
Warnings: Cuts off in the middle of the fun, incomplete, teens being teens. They’re 17ish in this? But I’m playing fast and loose with canon.
Words: 3,580
Summary: A dirge can feel what his master wants before he says anything. And even if he says nothing at all.
