Hey FimFiction!

It's Pride Month, and people need positivity now more than ever, so we're holding an event where you write a Pride-positive fic. We're calling this,

PRIDE AND POSITIVITY!

This can mean many things, including showcasing the LGBT+ aspect of one or more characters, exploring discrimination, or even writing a ship fic with a same sex pairing. We also encourage intersectionality! If you want to incorporate race, mental health, etc. then please do!

Positivity is the name of the game here, so the story should be positive in the end. It can be sad for a while, but there should be a happy ending.

The story doesn't have to be complete. Related to the above, that does mean you can leave us on a nasty cliffhanger! Just let us know it'll turn out fine.

We encourage a maximum rating of T.

As a change from last year, this event is being run both here and on Offprint, a general fiction site I'm helping out with. Note that the site is in closed alpha release, so it is not quite ready for open registration, and you have to sign up for an invite code.

For each submitted fic, we'll donate $20 to a charity of your choice from one of the below, or another of your choice! This is limited to two MLP fics and two non-MLP fics (original is fine too). Non-MLP fics have to go on Offprint.

• Transgender Law Center
• Palestine Children's Relief Fund
• Sewa International (Indian charity collecting funds for COVID relief)

Make sure to include the above links in the description of your fic and encourage readers to donate! You can do this with a story you already published this June, and we'll still donate.

Optional: Stretch outside the bounds of what you usually write! If you've never written a trans character, try it out now. And so on. If you ask, we'll try to offer a sensitivity reader to look over your work. PM SigmasonicX about that.

You can also include pride flags in your cover art, but from last year, we know that can make you a target for downvotes, so be wary of that.

We'll be donating until the end of June (and likely a bit after if this is like last year), but feel free to keep making stories after. EDIT: Extended to July 15.

So to sum up:

• Write a positive Pride fic! Doesn't have to be complete, max rating of T. You can also submit an already published fic from this month.
• With each fic, we'll donate $20 to a charity of your choice from Transgender Law Center, Palestine Children's Relief Fund, Sewa International, or another of your choice.
• We'll be donating until the end of June. EDIT: Extended to July 15.

The group main page description has been updated with the above.

Ooo! Yay!

Awesome!

Nice I'll try to come up with an idea for a story (no guarantees though)

I might have something in mind, but it was originally written in April for Scampy's Sunflower Contest. It wasn't ready in time to be submitted. Is that a disqualifier?

How does submission work?

Sorry for the late response, since I already made a donation for you, but for others in the future, just add the story to the group, and I'll contact you about the donation.

As for my concerns? I was aware that the rules stated that it has to be a fic that was published this month. The submission I had in mind was published in April, but retracted to be polished. The fic was then published again in June.

Sure, that's fine

Thank you for the clarification.

Is this something I can submit? Or do I have to make it into its own story? ^^’ https://www.fimfiction.net/chapter/1520115

It has to be its own story, sorry.
