Our next featured fic is “The Floor Is Lava” by lizzylizzl. I could not be more thrilled!

I read it right after we got our picture of Ginger Baba with his Ginger Mama…and fell in love with lizzylizzl‘s depiction of Polin’s chaotic and love filled family.

I started reading Polin when there were a couple hundred stories under the tag. For YEARS I’ve never once been without an amazing story to read.

Thank you authors and readers for all the work you do/have done to keep the tag vibrant and alive.

“Zombie” is a *Warm Bodies* AU…I had the best time creating a poster inspired by the movie for Lilly’s story.

𓉸 Who Says Romance is Dead 𓉸ྀི

We uploaded “Zombie” to AO3.

“Zombie” is Chapter 3 of @lillywhitefield.bsky.social ’s 𝘐𝘵 𝘞𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘺𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘩, a collection of Polin drabbles and one-shots inspired by Autumn and Halloween.

The way @lillywhitefield.bsky.social weaves Colin and Penelope into *every* world…she never ceases to amaze me.

Colin’s warlock powers✨How Pen’s pact affects Col✨AND Devil Bless Her…LW always finds a way to make it HOT as Hell ((Mind the tags)).

Happy Polinween!
