Hi, and welcome to the sixth 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 per your votes last year), 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! ♥

I'm going to try to write something for Broken Arrow (1996). because that film delights me, and I'm always sad to discover that there is still no fanfic for it...

I have a couple of fandoms in mind: a Sword & Sorcery film called (appropriately) The Sword and the Sorcerer, and a historical sitcom from the 80s about the Romans in Britain, called Chelmsford 123.

I failed at this last time around, but I've just written the first draft of a fic for the Korean drama Sisyphus: The Myth (which is currently airing) and it looks like no one else has written for it yet! So yay me!

Is it too late to sign up for and submit an additional first fic for a new fandom? With that last extra bonus extension, I think I can finish another fic before reveals... I was thinking of writing some f/f for Netflix's Marriage or Mortgage
