Be The First!

The collection is live! We got a very impressive total of 47 fics this time! Awesome job, everyone!

As usual, please do not check out the fics via the fandom list page on AO3. Only a couple of fandoms are listed there, due to AO3's wrangling policy, so most of the stories will not show up on said page. Instead, there's an alternative fandom list below. (You can also browse the collection via the works page on AO3, where almost all are accounted for — one story is posted elsewhere, and is marked below with an asterisk for easy finding if you prefer to browse via AO3.)

All stories, ordered alphabetically by fandom:

Thank you all sooo very much for taking part! I know these are all nonexistent fandoms, but I hope we can try to check out our fellow participants' stories and comment wherever possible. If you're not familiar with any of the fandoms, you can also try browsing the tag page to see if there are any themes/tropes/kinks that catches your eye.

Happy reading! I really hope to see you guys again next round ♥

There's only a week left to post your fic(s) to the collection, which means it's time for the question that has become a tradition by now: would you guys like an extension?

Let me know in the comments here (or by email or PM) if you'd like an extra week to write! It'll only happen if it's what the majority wants, so please don't hesitate to weigh in with a yes or a no. I'll edit this post with the result in two days from now, so stay tuned :)

ETA: Alright, an extension it is! So the new deadline is at 23.59 GMT on the 29th of April, with collection reveals happening 24 hours later as usual. Thanks to everyone who voted, and good luck with finishing your stories!

Have you already decided what fandom(s) to write for? If so, how about doing a little promoting? :D

We've all chosen tiny obscure canons, needless to say. But by posting here you might be able to entice someone else to give it a try — or perhaps you'll even run into a fellow fan, who can't wait to read your coming fic.

Your promo can be long or short, and contain whatever you feel like. Want to post a couple of intriguing screencaps from a movie? Quote a few paragraphs from a book? Rec the best episode of an anime or a TV series? Talk about why you love your favorite character and/or pairing from your fandom? It's all good; anything goes!
