Discord invite will be posted sometime in Juneâcurrently a closed test run of the format is beginning in April, and the event will open up properly once most of the trial run has completed!
Welcome to the first Dimension 20 Cake Picnic Party! Join a group of fellow writers having a picnic on the hillâcake and refreshments appreciated!
Relevant information below!
WHAT IS IT?
A cake party! You ever heard the age-old phrase âtwo cakesâ in regards to fanfic? This is a way to celebrate how hard writing fanfic really is, while still fostering the community of fanfic writers and support.
SO WHAT IS IT REALLY?
A three month event that concludes with a cake party on a cliffside!
WHATâS THE GOAL?
To create a sense of community that comes from writing longer fics. The minimum word count is 10k to bring a cake, but there are other things you can do to help the party if writing that much isnât your jamâand everyone is invited regardless!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Starting on at the beginning of the event, you will have three months to write a 10k+ fic. You can start with an outline and help bring refreshments if youâd like, or you can jump straight into writing the fic itself. There are different levels and tiers depending on if you split it into chapters or just do a one shot, and there is a separate tracker for total number of words written across the event that will help specify the essentials if youâd like to help dress the picnic up more.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you are someone who writes, then deletes and rewrites things as well, fear not! The total number of words written will not decreaseâyou put the time and effort in, and even if you donât use the words they still helped you make progress. It may be easier to track how many words you write per day if this is the case, but if not, let a mod know and they can keep track for you!
WHAT KIND OF CAKE?
Cake flavors are dependent on what kind of fic you write. Once the piece is finished, mods will determine and assign a flavor to the fic and at the end of the three months, there will be a menu provided!
WHAT IF I WRITE MULTIPLE 10K FICS? WILL I WIN?
There are no winners or losers! Everyone is invited to the party, whether youâre just here to bring chips (comment), assist with the baking of cakes (beta reading/constructive criticism), bring loads of cakes (write multiple fics), or just bring one involved fic (multi-layer cake and/or tiered cake). The idea is not to race to the finish line, or to never finish at allâwhat we want is to create a community of people putting extended time into fic ideas, with the intention of making sure theyâre appreciated and engaged with.
WHY A CAKE PARTY?
Because every fic is a treat!
WHAT IF I HAVE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS?
The menu will denote specific allergies and ingredients (characters and tags). You will absolutely still be welcome! And we will make sure to provide things everyone can enjoy a taste of.
WHAT IF I START SOMETHING AND DECIDE NOT TO FINISH IT?
Not a problem! Just let a mod knowâany amount of effort to the event, even if unused, will count towards the party total. And youâll still be invited and welcomed!
WHAT IF I HATE CAKE?
Thatâs okayânot everyone likes the same things. If you prefer drabbles or shorter fics, the mods have plenty of recommendations for collections, and youâre still invited to the party.
WHAT IF MY QUESTION ISNâT LISTED HERE?
Reach out to a mod and feel free to ask!
Want to bring a particular kind of cake? There are certain types of cakes that have been assigned to different genres/tropes found commonly in ficsâthey will be determined and listed in the menu at the end of the event.

is this a real picnic in a real location or an extended metaphor i cant tell
As much as I would love an actual picnic, itâs for sure just an extended metaphor. I figure if weâre going for theming, might as well go all the way!
