I joined this exchange expecting to write a bit of Biggles fic to keep my hand in, which admittedly I did. But I also committed almost five thousand words of original vampire filth, which was less expected.

My main assignment was for karanguni, who I only discovered after writing and posting actually coded the app which the exchange celebrates, and I ended up writing Original Work because emulating Pterry felt too difficult for an exchange with such a tight turnaround. So instead I wrote, as mentioned, five thousand words of original vampire filth.

I thought about the characters in this a normal amount and now I've got Ideas for the continuing adventures of Laurence de Ros, horrible vampire, and his tailor William Cooper, horrible vampire fetishist. They will have a spring wedding if they don't kill each other first.

For treats, I wrote in plane sight for

philomytha, for her prompt about EvS as a were-plane which I've always thought is a fantastic prompt so I was pleased to knock out a triple drabble for it, featuring EvS as an off-pattern biplane with dubious instruments and Biggles Just Going With It. I imagine he's been awake for three days and has essentially thrown his hands up at the universe. I also wrote observant for

ysande , which features Bertie and Gimlet sniping at each other for two hundred words while things blow up in the distance.

I RECEIVED a FANTASTIC fic from ysande, a courtroom transcript fic about EvS being put on trial for hurting Biggles, and it's such a perfect encapsulation of the Algy&EvS dynamic as well as the Biggles -> EvS dynamic, it's so wonderful and I can't stop smiling thinking about it. It really evokes the first chapter of Strong Poison in tone, I enjoyed it muchly - and the cameo by the most handsome man in England, of course!

And lastly I must rec Steeplechase by Philomytha, just the most perfect bit of Bertie&EvS whump with GIMLET EX MACHINA!!!!

EDIT: ALSO ALSO ALSO, not in the exchange but

tweague wrote a TWENTY THOUSAND WORD Ted Scott fanfic of filth and delight, it is SO fucking good, everyone must read it immediately even if they have less than 0 interest in the actual books.
