Please help us by sharing this post!

The people have spoken and we are once more on this hell site!

Do you like to read fanfiction? Do you like to write fanfiction? Wouldn't you be interested in a fanfiction FESTA?? If you said yes to any of these questions (we know you said yes to the first question, hehe), then check out this idea we have!

Yes, I like fanfiction...what's this about?

fanfiction FESTA is an idea that won't stop gnawing at my brain. the goal of this FESTA is to share AND comment on as much fanfiction as we're able to as a community! For a whole month!

Crimson will then create 1-3 posts on their blog with links to all the fanfiction sent their way (more details on the process below). Here is an example of what the end product would look like

This sounds familiar...

This FESTA is a combination of many influences, but especially the JCS and the fanfiction writer appreciation event. In fact, we are lucky enough to find guidance and help with the FWAE mods!

Cool! How can I participate?

Good question! We have a lot of ideas but here is the bare minimum we need to make this event a reality!

Writers: writers are encouraged to submit (1) of their fics to be promoted, read, and commented by at least (1) person. This will be done via X/Twitter using a tagging and hashtag system. All submissions MUST be appropriately tagged

Dedicated Readers: a team of readers who will commit to reading at least (1) story submitted by writers, and leaving a positive comment. This role is crucial. We will have a signup session later!

Passive Readers: readers who will organically join this event and leave positive comments on the fics we promo. There is no expectation for this role. Passive readers can read whatever catches their interest. We also hope to have a few games to make this more interesting

Behind the Scenes: a team of mods who will help create content/keep things in order. As of now, we're interested in finding an art mod and perhaps one more dedicated mod to help Crimson. If we can't find mods for these roles, we still plan to run the event

Do we have to write new stories for this?

Nope! In fact, we strongly urge writers to share fics they've written before the start date of the event. And stories they wish had more comments. We want to give no/low-comment stories some much needed love

When will the event start?

We have tentative plans to start the event in February 2025. But a fixed date will be chosen after the Interest Check closes

Is there a limit to what can be submitted?

As of now, each writer may only submit (1) story. We may change this rule depending on participation. In terms of content, we have decided to be a Pro-Ship event. And in terms of word count, we are still deciding what the maximum length should be

Help us out by filling out our interest check!

I have more questions...

Feel free to drop by our Retrospring or DMs. You can also drop your questions in our Interest Check form

We will release more details once we have more data/see if people are interested in joining
