THE 7-DAY CHALLENGE #1

Sign up for the First 7-Day Challenge is open at dailyfics! More info | Sign up!

How it works:

This challenge works almost the same way the normal challenge does, except you only find out your prompt on the day you have to post. On the first day of the challenge I will post the first prompt word and participants will have 24 hours to write and post a fic based on that propmt. Another word will be posted on the second day and this will go on for a whole week. During that week, participants will have 24 hours after the prompt word is announced to post their fic. Winners will get banners.

I have days 1 to 6 posted in dailyfics. They are all drabbles, ranging from 300 tp 600 words. The prompts, in order, were: Beach, Valley, Sweet, Numbers, Innocence and Mercy. The last one is a Vegas AU missing scene. They are all Shep whump, but I don't need to say it, right?

I've got a new writing comm!


If you are one of those writers needing a challenge, or if you want to create a writing habit, improve your techniques, or simply to have fun, dailyfics is the community for you!

The dailyfics comm always has 8 prompt tables for your writing pleasure. You can pick any: the 7 days prompt tables, the 15 days prompt tables, or, if you are feeling bold enough, you can choose one of the 30 days prompt tables. The trick is that you have to write a fic every day the challenge runs, starting any time you want. The minimum word count is 100, just enough to get the creative juices flowing.

The rules are few and simple, the important thing is to have fun and write, write, write! It doesn’t matter what, for which fandom, if it’s just a frozen moment in time, if there is no plot or if it ends up being an epic. The important thing is to write something, anything, on each day.

You can read the rules post here and you can find all the prompt tables for our first round here.



I posted this on torch_wood, startrek2009 and sga_noticeboard. If anyone knows of any other places that I can pimp my new comm, just drop a comment.
