As I mentioned in the last blog post, I have joined a new group: Word of the Week Quickfic Challenge. To summarize, the group moderator – Deli – finds a new obscure word every week and posts it as a prompt for that week's contest; the writers' job is to write a little story inspired by that word within the five-day time limit. I figured it'd get the creative juices flowing again, and maybe be a barrel of fun

I'm thinking about entering the Go Big or Go Home AppleDash writing contest. Usually I enter writing contests only if I already have a fanfic idea that loosely fits the contest theme. I didn't have an idea that would fit this theme, but for the opportunity to win a decent cash prize, I decided to come up with a new idea. And . . . I'm not sure if my fanfic will be one of the strongest entries, since my story

Since I was super bored, I've decided to do a writing contest! The winner will get to have their story featured in my most top bookshelf, A Librarian's Choice. It takes a lot to get into that bookshelf. The writing prompt is to write a story about a character who learns a valuable lesson that will affect their life later on. It can also be funny too, depending on what is valuable to the character. The deadline is on

Are you ready to make history? To write one of the first G5 fics on the site?

This writing contest has an unusual premise: each author gets a different prompt.

I've always wanted to hold a writing contest. Dear god, why is this the first one?

What is "Soft Hands"?

Soft hands is an inside joke from the Seattle's Angels chat that I am led to believe is my fault. I blame Syeekoh anyway. But there's a group now, and to mark its opening, we are holding a contest, open to anyone on the site! The rules are as follows.

I've signed up as an on-call editor for Super Trampoline's forthcoming FimFiction Feghoot Festival. Be sure to check it out.

I think it's pretty neat that he's encouraging people to get their stories edited, and connecting people to make it happen. I approve.

In two weeks I'm going to launch a new writing contest.

This is a sequel to my previous writing contest, which had a unique premise: each contestant was issued a randomly generated prompt card with five characters, locations or concepts on it. They were asked to write a story that incorporated as many of the ideas on their card as possible.

Hey people!

I'm happy to announce that I will officially be one of the judges for the Generation 5 Bingo Writing Contest! Starting January 9th, I'll be reading entries, and...well...judging them. Like judges so often do.

I honestly can't wait to read the submissions, as I haven't seen a lot of good G5 fics lately.

It’s coming up on April, and the world is a very scary place right now. What better way to distract ourselves than to frighten everyone around us with horror stories?! Fimfiction doesn’t feature as many good, scary horror stories as ‘Slice of Life’ or ‘Comedy,’ and we here at the Barcast think it's time to change all that!
