Snowflake Challenge - Day 5

[prisca]

Day 5 - In your own space, promote three communities, challenges, blogs, pages, Twitters, Tumblrs or platforms and explain why you love them.

I want to promote two writing communities, I love, and if you are looking for a place to let your fantasy run wild you may want to check them out. As an extra, I added a multifandom community for advertising.

1. getyourwordsout
This comm is open for every writer (professional, original work or fanfiction) who needs a challenge to overstep the lines or who is looking for encouragement to build a regular writing habit.

There are various pledges (word related or habit related) to choose from, and no one will blame you if you don't meet your pledge at the end of the year. The comm also offers writing-related discussions and various writing challenges to keep you running.

Important: Sign up to the community and make your pledge for 2019 until January 15

2. fffc // fffc = Froday Flash Fiction Challenge
FFFC originally was a writing community for Lord of the Rings related short fiction. Froday = Frodo+Friday ;) When the fandom started to get quieter, the comm almost died out, until in 2015 naemsi took over the comm and resurrected it. She finally opened FFFC for all fandoms and any kind of fanwork. Since 2017 there is also a DW comm (where I am the co-mod; really I still don't know how this could happen, but I love it)

We now have regular prompts every second Friday plus a little special once a month and a bigger, monthly special.

3. Check out fandom_on_dw if you are looking for a community to find more (mostly writing) challenges or communities. You don't need to be a member of the comm to lurk, but if you want to advertise a community you fell in love with or your own shiny new community to find members you need to join at first.

gywo is so USEFUL. I've been participating for several years now, and have written so much because of the comm.

So, fffc is multi-fandom? It looks like it, but I wanted to check.

These are great hub recs. Thank you for sharing them!

Yes, every fandom is welcome at FFFC, also RPS and original fic. As long as you think it might be fun, just go wild.

Oh excellent! Honestly, that might be just what I need to get moving with some of my original work. \o/ Thank you for the clarification. :D

Famdom_of_DW can be very helpful when you are looking for new challenges/new comms. Good luck with that.
