Be The First!

The collection is live! There's a total of 26 fics this time, which is pretty damn awesome! Great job, everyone! And thank you all for being so understanding and patient about the delay, I really appreciate it ♥

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 so 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! And if this flash round got the better of you, just remember that the normal round isn't that far off :) I really hope to see all of you then ♥

The deadline is almost upon us, which means that there's now one day left to finish your fic(s)! Technically, that is, because I'll throw in the same "surprise" mini-extension as I always do, and keep the collection open for submissions until an hour before reveals (which will happen at 00.01 GMT on the 19th).

There's already a very impressive 20 stories in the collection — great job, everyone! Do you think we'll be able to beat the last flash round's total of 27? Best of luck to those who are still writing, you can do it! :Db

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!

This is the final reminder about the flash round, which will start in a month from now. So if you wanted to get cracking a little ahead of time, this is it!
