Announcing... EL GOONISH SHIVE FLASHFIC WEEK 2024!
YE GADS, CAN IT BE? It's that time of year again!
For those not in the know, every year (sometime between September and October - this year it'll run from September 1 through September 8) we issue a challenge to everyone in the fandom to write a zero-editing quickly-written fanfic every day for a week. Each year there's an optional theme; this year it's EXTREMELY VAGUE PROMPTS!
How vague? Well, here's the list. If you're going with the theme, each prompt should be used in the fic somewheres, be it at the start, the end, or somewhere in the middle but sparking the idea of the rest of the fic around it (somehow!).
"I never thought I'd be sick of this."
"Your mom said to call her when we got there."
“Well. Didn’t expect that.”
“I’m sorry, it does what?”
“Don’t worry, I know where all of the bodies are buried.”
"So, I figured out how my new spell works. Kinda."
"What smells like pancakes in here?"
“Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, and I have no idea what that is.”
"We've been lost for the last hour!"
“You did safety test this, right? Right???”
"It's morally, ethically, AND structurally questionable."
“Well, if you’d told me when I woke up this morning that I’d end my day shaving off this much fur…”
"Pants always feel weird with a tail."
“Wait. That body part is not normally that shape, is it?”
“You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means”
"That isn't inherently romantic, is it?"
“No, really, I know what I’m doing. Now don’t flinch.”
A: A short fanfic with no minimum word count that's written in a single sitting with no editing.
Q: What do I do when I'm done?
A: POST THAT STUFF. You can put it on Archive Of Our Own, Fanfiction dot net (if you must), your own website, or just toss it up here or on the Discord!
Q: Is there a collection I should post it to on AO3?
A: Not officially, but please tag it "EGS Flashfic Week 2024" if you post there!
Q: Do I have to use the theme?
A: I'm not your parent, you do you.
Q: Can I add more extremely vague prompts?
A: Sure, comment `em down below.
Q: Do you have a really good bread recipe to share?
A: Not relevant! But yeah the Peasant's Bread recipe on the King Arthur Flour site is basically foolproof. Love that stuff.
A: If you do fan art every day during flashfic week I will find out where you live, fly out there, and give you the BIGGEST freaking hug. Or, well, probably not, but know that I'll be thinking about doing that.
