Comment Challenge (May 2025)

We have a new Challenge for you! This time, the challenge is for writers and readers alike: support your favourite fanfics and fanfic authors by leaving a comment! Often times we want to show our appreciation to our favourite author, but don't know what to say - but as every author will tell you, that's not important, because every nice comment is a good comment!

Rules/Goals:

Within the month of May, leave at least 15 different comments

Be nice- the goal is to appreciate and support, not to bash others

Don't give unsolicited concrit- while well meant, it still includes critique, and some authors might feel discouraged by it. So only give concrit if the author states they are fine with it/ want it!

There are no rules about the length or elaborateness of the comments- no matter how unsure or awkward you feel with leaving comments, the important part is that you do! A small "I liked this, thanks!" is perfectly fine.

If you want to talk about this challenge with others, let yourself be inspired by comments that others have written, and/or track your progress, join our Discord Server!

#32: FFL Febuwhump 5k Challenge

It's time to bring back a classic - with a small twist! February + Whump = Febuwhump! In this month, we want to cater to angst!

We are doing so by giving you 10 prompts to choose from. You can pick one, or ten. You can write one work or ten. The goal is to write a total amount of 5k words while using at least one prompt. If you write more than one work, then that's fine - but one prompt can only be used once, so only in one of your works. The detailed rules are available in our server's challenge post. You can sign up for the challenge and its respective AO3 Collection there!

If you want to participate in this challenge, or talk about this challenge with others, join our Discord Server!

Pridemonth 4x3 Challenge

In June, we want to host a challenge fitting for the month of pride. Whether you're a part of the community yourself or not, you are welcome to participate!

The challenge is divided into four (4) parts, with three (3) themes each. Each of the four weeks is one part.

We want you to write one work (oneshot, multichapter, etc. - your call) per week that picks up one of the three given themes of that week. You can also write 3 fanfics per week if you want; the minimum is one per week, so a total of 4 works.

November Challenge: Longfic month!

Our comment challenge is over, our 4 Seasons Challenge is in full swing while our OTP year challenge is starting it's second to last month- and yet we can't leave November be.

Keeping with tradition, November is Longfic month at the FFL! Come gather around the warm fire, make yourself a tea, make yourself comfortable in a blanket- or grab yourself some ice cream and enjoy the bliss of a/c, if you're within the southern hemisphere. Whether it's the heat or the cold, it's a shit time to stay outside. So instead, go full writer mode with us this month, join in on our writing sprints and write a longfic!

Rules

Your goal is to write 20,000 new words for a fic in November

You can work on an old project or start a new one, as long as you write!

We are a fanfic community tho, so fanfiction only!

There’s no maximum limit to the number of words you can write for this challenge, so even if you hit 20k words, keep going!

If you have any questions regarding the challenge, feel free to ask! All Challenge works written by our server members on Ao3 for our challenges are gathered in our Ao3 Collections. You can check out works from our earlier challenges there too!

Come join our Discord Server for some extra motivation, there's a whole event channel of people cheering you on waiting for you! Everyone can start a writing sprint on our server, so there will be plenty around to stay motivated, but every sunday we also have some officially scheduled writing time so you can't escape your WIP... at least not this month!

We have a new Challenge for you!

We present you: the OTP Year Challenge!

Yes, you heard right: this Challenge runs for the entire year! It's all about your OTP (One True Pairing) - or several, if you have more than one ;)

Each month, you'll get one prompt that you can write a work (preferably a oneshot) for - interpreting the prompt however you want to, as long as it's a work about your OTPs! The goal is that you write one work per month, making it 12 works for your OTPs at the end of 2024.

If you missed the beginning, no need to worry, you can join in at any point! You don't need to have been there for it from the start.

The posting time for each prompt is for the duration of their month, but the collection will be open the entire year.

Additional Rules:

For each prompt, the word count has to be at least 500.

The prompts need to be kept and posted in order. You can skip a prompt. You can join in late.

Please do only post one work per prompt and per month. You have to name the prompt you used in the author's notes at the beginning. You do not need to make the prompt the title, but you can.

Any topic/trope/rating (so sfw/nsfw) that is within our server rules is allowed as long as you tag your work properly!!

All Challenge works written by server members on Ao3 for our challenges are gathered in our Ao3 Collections. You can check out works from our earlier challenges there too ^^ .

Come join our Discord Server if you want a place to chat about your ideas and your progress on this challenge with other writers and to be added to the collection for this Challenge!

In any case, please credit us if you participate in this Challenge.

Our Challenges are events in which we challenge our writers on the server to write fanfics for prompts, quote prompts, a certain tittle, a certain theme etc. and...

We have a new Challenge for you!

This challenge, which will run for the duration of april, is all about tropes - but not just any tropes. Nope!

Like how in April in the northern hemisphere the weather does what it wants, we did what we wanted and mixed up some tropes to bring some fresh wind into the world of tropes!

There are 10 reversed tropes for you to pick from. You need to write one to participate - but you can write for all of them if you like!

You can begin with planning and writing your work starting on the day of the announcement.

General rules:

For each trope work, the word count has to be at least 500 words. Whether you write a longfic, multichapter work or a oneshot is up to you.

You need to at least write for one trope. How many others you decide to write for is up to you!

You can't use two tropes in one work.

Tropes:

Soulenemy AU (Original trope: Soulmate AU)

Last Kiss (Original trope: First Kiss)

Too many beds (Original trope: Only one bed)

Lost Families or Found Foes (Original trope: Found Family)

It's not my fault (Original trope: It's my fault)

True Hate's Slap (Original trope: True Love's Kiss)

I should have been worse (Original trope: I should have been better)

Real Dating (Original trope: Fake Dating)

Ruin-it (Original trope: Fix-it)

Accidental Encounter (Original trope: Fated Encounter)

Posting time will start on the first April, but you can start planning and writing now.

All Challenge works written by server members on Ao3 for our challenges are gathered in our Ao3 Collections. You can check out works from our earlier challenges there too ^^

Come join our Discord Server if you want a place to chat about your ideas and your progress with other writers and to be added to the collection for this Challenge!

In any case, please credit us if you participate in this Challenge.

Happy writing!
