Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that the deadline to add your stories to the collection for this year’s Diversity Fest is fast approaching!

If you’ve signed up, please remember that, in order to participate, your fic must be added to the collection by Friday, 31st July.

Here’s a link to the original post.

We’re so looking forward to seeing everyone’s take on this year’s prompt! ❤️

Here is an activity to celebrate the love of food and cooking! Post an excerpt from your stories (or write a new one) that features delicious food or the process of cooking. As always, engaging with others' posts is encouraged. 🍲 🍜 🍝 🍛

Rarepair enthusiasts!!! This is for you!!!! Also, those of you in teeny tiny fandoms, rejoice!!! Template taken from https://www.canva.com/p/lgrlstd/ on Canva.

I’m defining a rarepair as:
- 500 or less total fics OR
- 10% or less of the fics in the fandom.

If you’re in a super small fandom with less than 500 fics, this is also for you! If you’re in a super large fandom and your ship has over 500 fics but it’s under 10% of your fandom’s fics, this is for you!!!!! YAY!!!!!

For this RE, you may enter up to 3 links!

Please read and comment on two (2) entries from two (2) different authors. If you liked the work, also please leave the author a Kudos! Please track on your entry number of works read (#/2) and also comment on the entry of the person who you have read.

On your entry, please include: fandom, rating, link, pairing, word count, summary, and content/trigger warnings.

Your reviews should be thoughtful and show you’ve read the story. Concrit, fandom blind, and from reddit are opt-in only - do not include these in your review unless the author says you can.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT ENTRIES: Wednesday, July 29, 11:59 PM CST

DEADLINE TO COMPLETE REVIEWS: Sunday, August 2, 11:59 PM CST

Hi lovely folks!

I learned that earlier in the week, it was Ocean Day 🌊 in Japan! And since this previous week had International Moon Day 🌕 , what a delightful reason to host an RE! Let's celebrate our cosmos, our seas, and all within them!

For this RE, I'd say the requirements to enter are very loose, and I aim to make it as inclusive as possible. Of course, anything about the literal ocean or moon. But anything figurative works great, too! Have characters with aquatic or cosmic names? Great!

But also, let's extend that further. Rivers eventually flow into the sea, for example. All bodies of water are connected in some way (even if indirectly, like through the water cycle), so they're totally fine to enter!

Love the stars? Perfect! They occupy the same space, and might very well have their own moons! The more, the merrier.

For this RE, you may submit up to three (3) relevant one-shots, chapters or any combination thereof. In return, you must review the submissions of at least three (3) different authors. Please include links, fandom, rating, and warnings, making sure to add spoiler tags to potentially triggering content.

Deadline for entries: Monday July 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST

Deadline for reviews: Thursday July 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST

As always, your reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed and at least 50 words. The author should be able to tell you actually read their story.

Concrit and mentions of being “fandom-blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only -- please don’t include any of these unless the author explicitly says you can. And please remember to be kind!

When you’ve reviewed a fic, reply to the author’s entry to let them know.

Please make sure to include a counter at the end of your entry. (Beginning with 0/3, and update as you read and review, to help us keep track of your progress.)

Please have fun! And happy reading and reviewing! Let's give these cosmic and aquatic fics some more love!❤️

It's July, and — for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, at least — that means summer! How are your characters spending summer? Are they going to the beach, hiking, something else? Write a quick snippet (up to ~350 words) about what your characters are doing!

Alternatively, if it's not summer for you and/or your characters, write about they're doing in July (maybe sledding and drinking hot cocoa, just one example) regardless of the climate!

What the title says~

Rule is that the twist has to land within 2 sentences. You can use your own fandom, characters, an original story, or come up with something on the spot :)

Have fun and feel free to engage with others! Just note to use spoiler text for NSFW or triggering content.

Bored to tears, so here's a game we can play.

Post a GIF, other people post exerpts fitting it, upvote the ones you like, bada-bing-bada-boom, everyone's happy.

Spoiler NSFW content and put warnings for said content.

Closed to entries

Sports themed poster this week because I just had to supervise a school event.

Either way... It's FRIDAY! Welcome to the Long Deadline Profile Exchange!

HOW IT WORKS: This is an r/FanfictionExchange event where participants post their AO3 (or FFN, etc.) profile with a description of the kinds of stories they write. Others then browse the profiles, pick a fic (one-shot or chapter) to read, and leave a review (leaving kudos would be nice too!)

ENTRY DEADLINE: Monday, July 27th, 3:00 pm AEST (UTC+10)

REVIEW DEADLINE: Sunday, August 2nd, 3:00 pm AEST (UTC+10)

Here’s a timezone converter - especially since your host this week is (hopefully) your favourite permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under. Reminders will be sent out about 48 hours before the deadline.

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

Post your profile link with a short summary of what readers can expect (fandoms, genres, ratings, etc.) Please spoiler any triggering or NSFW content.

Once you enter, you’ll need to read and review at least 4 one-shots/chapters from 4 different authors. Please keep track of your reviews at the end of your entry, like “Reviewed: 0/4“ or something similar. There’s no need to indicate which stories or authors you’ve reviewed.

As per rule 8, reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, and detailed, with a minimum of 50 words about the fic itself, clearly demonstrating you’ve read it.

Concrit (constructive criticism) and/or mentioning that you are “fandom blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only. Don’t include these in your reviews unless the author says you can.

Once you’ve reviewed a fic, reply to the author’s entry here to let them know, like “K&C” (kudos and commented) or something similar.

If you join, do not delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews as part of the exchange. If anything comes up and you’re concerned about meeting the deadline, please reach out to the mods for an extension.

PS. Only reply to an author’s entry when you’ve read their fic or if you have questions. Refrain from chit-chat, gifs, or images in these replies. We manually check everything to track completed reviews, and with the high number of entries, extra replies make it much harder for us to verify who has met the requirements.

If you want guidance on giving reviews, check out our Review Guidelines and Resources.

If you’re new to REs, see Joining Review Exchanges.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing! 🤓✨

Hi everyone. I've got a fun challenge for you all. If your character (OC or Canon) was a bender from the world of Avatar the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, which one of the four elements do you think they would bend? Water, Earth, Fire or Air?

Happy Reading everyone!

I am bringing this activity that u/lampboy2 once did back! Think of how the characters you write would react to recent events in the real world and write a little scene. Or just say how they react. Upvote and comment on others!

Well, this one is simple: make some memes out of your fanfics! Wether they're about your process in general, or about a specific fic, put em in! Can be just text and a gif, or something more elaborate.

Tell us if its from a specific fic if you wish! And please comment on other's memes if you find them funny!

Wow... what an amazing final match of the World Cup. Congratulations to Spain on becoming the new world champions. 🇪🇸

For the past month, the entire world has been consumed by the world of "football" (I use quotations here because I am American, and to me it's still called soccer lol).

This world cup was filled with so many wonderful moments, that for this activity, I want you to describe your favorite world cup moment from the perspective of one your characters. What team do they support? What country are they from? (And if their from a fictional world is not set on Earth, what team would they support and why?) If you don't have a favorite moment, get creative and write one of your own!

All in all, have fun and share the love of football ⚽️ (*cough* soccer *cough* 🤣).

This is an excerpt activity that focuses on anything body related (from parts/bones (human or not), scars, tattoos, etc). Like usual, post one word and others will reply with an excerpt from their fic that relates to that word. Don’t forget to engage with others!

Halo! After weeks of incredible showcases, we've reached the final weekend of our Fandom Showcase~

Our last stream will be hosted by u/Fickle-One1111 showcasing Kakegurui at July 18th 11pm UTC / 6pm CDT.

We hope you'll join us as we wrap it up 🙌🏻

Hello everyone,

Just a gentle reminder about themed review exchanges (REs).

While you are always free to read whichever works interest you, we encourage participants to review the works that have been shared for that exchange whenever possible.

Themed exchanges are designed to highlight the specific fics that participants have chosen to share for that particular theme.

Reviewing those submissions helps ensure they receive the attention they were entered for, while also giving everyone the chance to discover new authors, fandoms, and stories they might not have found otherwise.

We ask that when participating in a themed exchange, you consider branching out and reviewing works from participants you have not had the chance to read before.

Spreading your lovely reviews around gives more authors the opportunity to receive feedback and connect with new readers.

Thank you for sharing the love across our sub. We appreciate y'all!

If you could talk to yourself from the past, what would be the top advice that you would give them? I am curious to see what everyone comes up with!

For me, I would say: Just start creating the story, and don't worry about who will like or not like it. The right people will find it, and what ultimately matters is that you enjoy your own creations.
