🎃Lady Pumpkin 🧡 Ren Faire Penelope for Polinween from IG janana_art1

Day 1 (Oct 18) for the Polinween Prompt Event is "Pumpkin" (and/or Haunted House). For some reason I thought this would be the fluffiest prompt day xD but the algorithm sent me these and now I think it might be the smuttiest prompt 🎃

꧁༺🖤༻꧂ Happy H🎃liday! For the past few years, the Polinators Discord server has hosted a Halloween Prompt Event. This year's list is ready, and I thought l'd share in case you're seeking some frightful (or delightful) inspiration. ꧁༺🖤༻꧂ 1/3

Happy 𝒰𝓃𝓌𝓇𝒾𝓉𝓉ℯ𝓃 𝒟ℯ𝓈𝒾𝓇ℯ𝓈, ℛℯ𝓋ℯ𝒶𝓁 𝒟𝒶𝓎! Every secret has now come 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. Thank you Readers for supporting these stories, please keep reading, sharing, and showing love 💌 Thank you Authors for this beautiful collection ♥️ archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Happy Anniversary, Polin and Polinators 🩵 One year ago, our souls left our bodies the moment we heard the string version of 𝘠𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 drift in, carrying soon-to-be Penelope Bridgerton down the aisle, to her/our Colin.

Tomorrow is Polin’s Anniversary AND the 𝒰𝓃𝓌𝓇𝒾𝓉𝓉ℯ𝓃 𝒟ℯ𝓈𝒾𝓇ℯ𝓈 ℛℯ𝓋ℯ𝒶𝓁 𝒟𝒶𝓎! When 𝒜𝓃ℴ𝓃𝓎𝓂ℴ𝓊𝓈 𝒜𝓊𝓉𝒽ℴ𝓇𝓈 and 𝒮ℯ𝒸𝓇ℯ𝓉 𝒜𝒹𝓂𝒾𝓇ℯ𝓇𝓈 step 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 and come 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. Today I offer you a mini reveal…

May I introduce you to Ballroom and Latin dance instructor, Colin Bridgerton 🙂‍↕️

“Welcome to Keaton Grove” explores a Season 3, Episode 1 canon divergence that expands the world of the show beyond Mayfair. I’m excited to see what Polin gets up to in the countryside 👀 El: Pen is in Keaton Gro- Col: 🏇💨 Me:🙂‍↕️

An epistolary meet cute framed by chaotic Polin ‘babies’ and a proud Dad telling the story of how he met their Mother! 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘔𝘦𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 🤝 Polin Chapter 1 is such fun and a perfect nod to our canonically letter loving duo.

︵‿୨♡୧‿︵ It’s 𝗪𝗜𝗣 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆! 🧵🪡 Below are a few of glimpses into the amazing WIPs being written for the 𝒰𝓃𝓌𝓇𝒾𝓉𝓉ℯ𝓃 𝒟ℯ𝓈𝒾𝓇ℯ𝓈 event. These words are being shared anonymously 💌 but I’ll be sure to pass along your love. ︵‿୨♡୧‿︵

This one shot is beautifully introspective, a story about what happens when you’ve spent your whole life, trying to be lovable and then decide to love yourself instead. It’s tender, aching and quietly defiant. Please (as always), read the tags and trigger warnings.

The writing is so sharp, the universe so thoughtfully built, I actually had to sit back and blink at the screen. It’s omegaVERSE…a whole universe, rooted in canon in a way that feels alive. The fantasy framework 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴, the stakes. And a royal maze?!? It’s brilliant.

Colin told another influencer that his girlfriend’s name was Penelope (🤡) 🤝 Fake Dating Trope. Pen not only has to navigate the influencer world, she has to do it while pretending to be the girlfriend of the man she’s been in love with for half of her life. Can she do it?

Pen sees Col with a baby/Pen tells Col she wants a baby 🔑🔓Breeding Kinks 𝘜𝘯𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 What if…….What…IF??? Pen travels to Aubrey Hall with the BTons instead of the FTons??? What then?!? The way this author navigates canon moments in this s2 AU has my heart -`♡´- exploding with awe and love.

“There were, in fact, gemstone mines in Georgia.” 🚶🏻‍♀️walk with me. I want to tell you about something really special, a fanfic project that means a lot to me. It’s a crossover. It’s a caper. It starts with a cursed ruby, and somehow it’s still a Polin love story. 1🧵🪡

This fic is off to such a great start. Ch1 nails the chaos and charm of the whole BridgerBunch! But amidst all the Bridgerton Pandemonium and fun, there is real, heart panging angst. Ch2 just dropped, a blond suitor has entered the chat…and CB is obvs totally cool about that 👀

As the tags and summary imply…this story will deliver the smuts, and lots of it, BUT chapter 1 of this fic is the kind of FLUFF that makes your cheeks hurt it’s so sweet. Featuring some top tier Colin spiraling.

I am honestly such a sucker for a good ‘villain’ origin story, and the fact that “To have & to hold” takes us all the way back to 𝗦𝟭 when Colin is in such a dark place canonically…it’s just the perfect spot to explore an AU/canon divergence. Please read tags: Dark!Colin

This story is so special, a sweeping romance, full of longing, angst, and gorgeous writing. It’s already 12 chapters, and 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 satisfying 😇

✨🪽— WRITER SPOTLIGHT There's something so enchanting about creating magic or studying dungeons together. @onceabluemoon.bsky.social understands this well, and has chosen to cast her spells alongside another mage with complimentary tales.

It's my birthday! Every year since 2022...I've gotten something special from BridgertonNetflix. Nothing is ever going to be last year, but this is pretty great 🩵

Happy Anniversary, Polin Season! A year ago, we were basking in Polin's afterglow...on our ♾️ rewatch of the first 4 episodes (with extra love for the kiss and carriage scenes). Instrumental Pitbull flooding our timelines. So much joy. Gorgeous images...hang them all in the louvre.

Huzzah, Friends!!! HUGE day for the fandom. Season 4 first look AND Season 5 & 6 confirmed!!! Philoise and Frachaela will be ours 🫂

Today is my ACTUAL wedding anniversary and also the anniversary of this chaotic day. I am a chronic illness girlie 💪🏼 and was so sick that day, but I was determined to at least try and see our faves. It was special to see the cast and get to hang out IRL with fandom folks✨

The AGONY of defeat and the THRILL of Luke Newton. In the end Polinators truly do win because the "Carriage Scene" is ours forever. #Polin

Luuuuuuuuuke Newton attends an event hosted by British Vogue and Netflix to celebrate the BAFTA Television Awards!!! This is not a drill Polinators…..Polin is in the same building 🚨Bless the carriage scene, the gift that keeps on giving 🙌🏼

Unwritten Desires: WIP SWAP An event for unfinished stories still waiting to be loved. If you’re not on Discord or would prefer to participate outside of the Polinators server (link in comments) you’re welcome to DM me. Can't wait to see WIPs find love 💌

I ended up with an extra copy of the “And Again” paperback I bound while sorting out the final version. If anyone in the U.S. (can’t afford Intl shipping 😢) might like it, comment: “And Again”. No pressure, just happy to share a good story and something that I enjoyed making.

Anyone else having heart palpitations over this 👀????? Aaahhhhhh!!! www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

It’s been quiet on the podcast front—I was sick for a while and lost my voice. But I’m back to editing and recording now. While I was resting, I tried something new: bookbinding! I made a copy of “And Again” by Giaele the spotlight fic we recommended from our first featured author.

🥰

When the “starter pack” trend was making the rounds…I resisted the urge to create an AI-generated *art* meme. I did think it was a fun concept, so I messed around with Bridgerton and stock images. It doesn’t look professional, but I made it and I had fun.

I love him your honor. #LukeNewton #AngelBoy

Lilyofthevolume, one of our beautiful Polin fanfiction authors has experienced the greatest loss imaginable. I will keep it vague as I don’t want to trigger anyone, but she has asked for strength by way of prayers and thoughts as she braves through 2 of the most difficult days of her life.

Polin/Bridgerton X Black Mirror AU, please. NetflixANZ even provided a mood board image.

🥹 I love it!

🥰Love this so much!

Literally, perfect ✨
