October sign up
Sep. 18th, 2017 08:39 pmlilly_c in writethisfanficIt's time to sign up for the October WIP challenge!
Some people join the challenge midmonth, or comment on check-in posts without signing up, which is fine -- I'm glad there's a way for the challenge to be useful in a variety of ways.
But for those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.
Signups will be open until the end of September.
Copypaste below:
I couldn't continue to run this challenge without assistance with the daily check-in posts. Many thanks to everyone who's helped with the check-ins before!
Please let me know if you'd be interested in helping out. A week per person would be ideal (I usually assign weeks running Sunday-Saturday just for consistency). I'm happy to help come up with suggestions for discussion topics (& Friday or Saturday is usually the general chat/snippet/beta-seeking etc. post).
(& if you've completed a fic through the challenge, don't forget our collection on AO3! If you need AO3 invites, let me know.)

Signups will be open until the end of September.
- Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like
- Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point
- What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc.
- What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto!
- How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc.
- Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you

Trick or Treat Exchange letter
Sep. 17th, 2017 12:43 pmprpl_penDear creator,
Thank you so much for creating for me! Here I'll try to give a little more information about the kind of fic/fanart I'd like to receive. If there are any questions on anything, please contact the mods to reach out to me for clarification.
General DNWs

General DNWs
- AUs - canon setting only, please. Canon divergence is generally okay if you want to go that route, especially in the case of One Piece
- extreme angst - some angst is fine if it fits the story (especially in certain Trick prompts), but please don’t make it the major focus of the fic
- explicit sexual content - not for this exchange, please. Making out, over-the-clothes touching, and fade-to-blacks are fine if it comes to that
- crack
- non-con

DW Fic: Hearts & Moons Recall the Truth, Chap. 27
Sep. 15th, 2017 08:13 pmkaffyr in dwfictionTitle: Hearts & Moons Recall the Truth
Author: kaffyr
kaffyr Chapter: 27
Characters: the Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Captain Jack Harkness
Rating: PG-13
Author's Note: In which homecomings give way to leave-takings, and Rose says what has to be said. I thought this was the penultimate chapter, but have since realized it was not. Not quite. But soon, soon.

Note: Because this is a long chapter, Live Journal may eliminate paragraph breaks, so you might want to read it over on Dreamwidth.
