Slight delay, sorry!

The collection was set to open in roughly six hours, but something unexpected has come up and I won't be around to do so. I should be back home maybe 4-5 hours later, but I can't be sure and I prefer to be able to give you a specific time. So, for both safety's sake and simplicity, I'm pushing reveals back by 24 hours. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!

The collection will stay open for submissions until then, too, so if you were stressing with last-minute edits or writing you at least get an extra day now? Again, I'm sorry and I hope this doesn't cause any big problems.

Final Deadline Reminder

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

Half the writing time for this flash round has already flown by, which means there's now only a week left to add your fic(s) to the collection! How's it going, guys? I wish you all the best of luck with finishing on time!

Fandom Promos

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!

Flash round sign-ups

Hi, and welcome to the second flash 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 :)

This flash round works exactly the same as usual, with the exception of one thing: instead of having two months to write, you now only have two weeks. The deadline to submit your fic is at 23.59 GMT on the 17th of September, and the archive will go live at 00.01 GMT on the 19th of September.

The AO3 collection for this flash round is here, and I'll be putting up a fandom promo post tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone who's challenging themselves with this! Write like the wind :Db

Hi there, this is just a quick little heads-up to let you all know that the flash round will begin in two months from now! So if you'd be up for another round this year, but aren't too keen on the flash aspect, then please take this as your cue to get started ahead of time :Db
