Sign-ups 2023

[galerian_ash]

Hi, and welcome to the eighth round of Be The First!

This is a low-pressure challenge to write a fic, of any length, for a fandom that previously had none. That's it! If you want to take part, just reply to this post :)

Quick rundown: You have two months to write. The deadline is at 23.59 GMT on the 20th of April, and the archive will go live at 00.01 GMT on the 22nd of April. You can submit up to four stories, as long as they are for different fandoms.

If you'd like more information beyond those basic points, then you can find the FAQ right here. The AO3 collection for this year is here, and I'll be putting up a fandom promo post in roughly a week.

A big thank you to everyone who's reading this, whether you're a returning participant or someone checking out the challenge for the first time. As always, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you all write this year! ♥

Going to attempt it this time! Still no English fic for the fandom I have ideas for so fingers crossed.

[karrenia_rune]

Oh, Yes! Thank you for running this again!

[tildytwo]

I want to participate this year, though I'm a little burned out at the moment. I'm thinking I'll do something for either "The Colossus of New York" or "Four Assassins."

Thanks, as always, for hosting!

I've got a fandom to write for, and inspiration at the moment to do so! ✨ Let's go!!

Sounds super fun, I'm definitely trying to do this^^

[aphrodite_mine]

I'm in! Not sure of fandom yet, but it'll strike me!

[flo_nelja]

Ooh I might try to write something for a French comics named Aubépine... or maybe one of the most obscure Andersen fairy tales...

[fairyniamh]

I'm in. This will help ease my mind about what new fandom to write in!

[friendofthejabberwock]

Yay, count me in! :D

[27twinsister]

Tbh last year I found out about this and wanted to write about Chuzzle 2 then but didn’t have any ideas and do this time I’m excited to participate!

[meinterrupted]

Well, I thought initially there was no way I was going to sign up for this because there's nothing I want to write for that has zero fic, but I've now been bitten by a plot bunny soooooo here we go I guess?

[sheenianni]

Count me in :)

[catchmeifyoucreon]

Hoping to write something for the film Joyland (2022)!

[quotemyfoot]

Ahh, I have come to this a little bit late, but there is a great book series I wanted to honour with some fanfic (especially since I saw on the author's website she wrote fanfic herself!)... I'm going to give it my best go!

[activelyweird]

So many people have mentioned this event to me because I am in so many obscure fandoms so... looking forward to writing something for this evevnt :)

[ducarion]

I'm in, and looking forwards to this!

[bring_me_sugar]

Definitely joining up this year! Gonna write about More than Friends, a 1978 TV Movie!

[commanderbayban]

Sounds interesting! I have a good handful of obscure media that I’d love to write for.

[corvusumbranox]

Well, I already have something on the go so it looks like I'm in this year too. :D
