hello, question..... how long will the collection be open? bc i have multiple pathetic top kpop wips and im always looking to support pathetic top enthusiasm and would love to contribute,,, but my life is so hectic rn idk when they will be ready for posting !!! (also in general: ty for hosting, im looking forward to reading all the fics !!!)
Hi! The collection will be open indefinitely so you are welcome to post them whenever! Always happy to retweet a fic post as well when the time comes!
hi i have a super stupid question but: if we submit our work to the collection right now, does it say that publishing date is 17/04 or does it take on the day posting begins?? don't know if this makes sense, sorry ://
Not a stupid question at all! So if you submit the work to the collection now, it will show as the date you submitted. However, once fics are published you can change the date to the current date so it appears at the top of searches! Let me know if this helps! I can also make a mini tutorial of how to change your publishing date on ao3 if need be!
hellooo is pathetic top fanart allowed
why not!!! go for it!! I’ll think about the logistics of postings for that and make an announcement when I figure it out, but create art to your heart’s content!
silly silly question, is the collection open for posting atm? i got over-eager and finished already (like a pathetic top?) no worries at all if you're not opening it for a bit though!! was just curious.
the collection isn’t open at the moment!! I can definitely work on it this week though!! Once it’s up, you guys are more than welcome to submit the fics whenever you’re done, they just won’t be revealed until June!
i think there’s nothing better than younger inexperienced pathetic top so eager to please but so embarrassed at how eager they are/how little experience they have and older experienced bottom who is just endeared and a little pitying
the pathetic eagerness going to the bottoms head >>>
top who cries when they’re not touched and cries when they are touched >:3 so sensitive to everything that they can’t help but tear up
you get me….
does it count as a pathetic top if the bottom is also pathetic
yes!! the more pathetic parties involved the better in my opinion!
Do pathetic top fics need to be explicit? Or it’s just anything as long as the top is, well, pathetically in love with their s/o? I cannot write explicit fics that well, lol, but I’m interested in joining.
Also thanks for the answer!
while the fest does lend itself better to explicit fics, i think as long as the spirit of the pathetic top is there it’s ok!!! write what you’re comfortable with and happy with!
When the top is desperate to prove to the bottom that he can be a Good Boy(TM) to convince the bottom to keep him 😩❤️ meanwhile the bottom (is secretly already convinced but sshh) keeps on taunting and making things hard for the top, being mean and pushing the top to his limit
Is this super specific? Yes. Is this my self prompt that I’m already outlining in my doc? …maybe
we love it
younger pathetic top x older bottom 🤤
especially if it’s maknae x leader…
My fav pathetic top is one who so desperately begs for their bottoms hole only to cum the second they put the tip inside, but then isn't able to stop themselves from continuing to rut into them, even if the overstimulation hurts
GET OUT OF MY WIP FOLDER????
When the topis super confident on heterosexual sex but then becomes a loser in their first homo experience
absolutely
my fave flavour of pathetic top is one who is just embarrassingly desperate for their bottom to let them hit <3
it’s so good
puppy top who us so excited about a wet hole that they dont even notice when their dick falls out 🥺 just keeps thrusting excitedly
YES!!
what IS a pathetic top? i feel like i just started seeing stuff about this all of a sudden and feel so out of the loop 😭
great question! a pathetic top can mean a variety of things i’m sure if you asked 5 different people they’d say 5 different things. A pathetic top might be someone who is just a total loser and doesn’t lose the loser quality in bed. It might be someone who is so obsessed with their bottom it’s pathetic. It might mean someone who is pathetically bad at topping but they do it anyway and is that even good for the bottom like are they even having a good time maybe not but they’re doing it. It might mean that there are some dom/sub themes at play or maybe the top loves to be humiliated by the bottom and get called “a pathetic whore” or something in bed. Basically, if the spirit is there then it’s a pathetic top! I’ll also ask the crowd to maybe get some other answers for you!!
