✨#FFF YOU | 200th PROMPT CELEBRATION ✨

Dearest writers and Flash Fiction Friday enthusiasts!
Today isn’t just any Friday. “It’s Flash Fiction Friday”, you might think and, yes, of course it is! But it’s even more! Today, we’re posting our 200th prompt. 200 prompts, 200 weeks: That’s way over 3 years—nearly 4 years even. We’ve been around for quite a while! But what would our prompts even be if there was no one to write for them? To bring them to life?
Exactly. Then it would just be three meaningless words each week.
Even if we had only 20 entries per week, that would mean that there are 4000 flash fiction pieces in existence that have been written for this event. If everyone had only written 500 words per entry, that would make 2.000.000 words written since. That is all YOUR work!
So when we want to celebrate our 200th prompt, we actually want to celebrate you.
One of our dragons whispered into our ears that every now and then, people write way more than our limit of 1000 words. Not just a little more. But whole universes have been created because one tiny flash fiction piece has given them the spark of inspiration.
Today, we want to shine a light onto those pieces that never make it onto our blog, even if they are, in some way, an inherent part of it.
Below you will find a link to a form that you may fill out if you have a piece, or even pieces, that only exist because we once posted three magic words. We will create a post especially for your piece and post it on our blog. It doesn’t matter whether it is a 5k short story or a published book, we will give it a shout out either way!
But wait, wait! ✨
If you read this and think "But I have always kept to the limit, so I can't participate!"—fret not! Of course, we've thought of you too. To celebrate your creativity, we will shoutout your favourite FFF entry. Simply send us your post via DM, and we will give it a(nother) reblog to make sure many people can read your favourite FFF piece. <3
(This is an either/or situation. Either you participate by filling out the form, or you send us your fave entry via DM.)
Deadline: This celebration will be open for a whole week until May 19th!
Disclaimer: We do not claim ownership of the contents of the posts or the stories presented within. The contents of the stories and books are unknown to us and we do not take responsibility for it. All rights and responsibility lay with the respective authors.
Until then, take a look at last week's entries, and see you with a fresh prompt in an hour!

Going off my own other poll, and copy-pasting what I said in the reblogs:
"Okay, I'm trying really hard with the smut stories, but the prompts I have are so open ended that I'm just feeling blah about them lol, so they will (maybe) come eventually.
"With that in mind, what else would you wanna see OR would you be okay with short, shorter than flash fiction, just barely needing a "read more" section or not needing one at all, type smut stories?"

bruh I have to write 1500-2000 words worth of magical realism flash fiction for my creative writing class by wednesday 😭
My teacher hardly gave us any time, two periods of classwork and everything else homework, but I guess this is just a first draft so it doesn't have to be extremely good because it'd be edited later. But still. He gave us more time when we just had to write a 900-1000 word story, which some people didn't even finish.
I'm going to be writing 4 stories with 400-500 words each and so far I have written 250. At least it's an extremely long weekend because of Melbourne Cup day so I'll have plenty of time to write (but I also have art homework, which I won't have to finish until friday) 👍
but I did this to myself, because I could have chosen to do screen writing instead which would have been way quicker 😔

What's the deference between fic, one shot and drabble? I'm sorry I'm new to fanfiction world...
don't worry about it bestie! you can ask me anything you want whenever. Feel free t slide into the inbox 😉❣️
alright, so fic basically means fiction (for example fan-fic - fan-fiction)
it can be two types, a series or one shot
While a fic series has a storyline that spans multiple parts, a one-shot ends the story in only one part. If you have a story idea that can be told in one part without feeling incomplete, then you make it a one-shot
A drabble is just a one shot but very short. Like it is supposed to be done in around 100 words.
I saw a post that explained all the concepts very nicely, but i cant find the post right now. But I can tell you it was from the blog @/writingquestionsanswered. you can check that blog out if you need more information and tips!
though i copied a part of the post for personal reference
Here you go:
Drabble: 100 word story Micro Fiction: 50 to 500 words Flash Fiction: 2000 words or fewer Short Story: 1000 to 10,000 words Novelette: 7,500 to 20,000 words Novella: 20,000 to 50,000 words Novel: 50,000 to 120,000 words Epic Novel: 120,000 words or more

Sigh...
I enjoy several web serials, and I appreciate the format for being what it is. However, there are times when I just get frustrated with it.
A story that I have enjoyed has gone from having 5000 word chapters less frequently to having far more frequent 500-1000 word chapters, and I genuinely think it is killing the story.
You see, a common phenomenon for web serials is having each chapter end on a cliff hanger that encourages you to go to the next chapter. In fact, you’ll often find web serials written in a way that turns each chapter into its own little thing with stakes, conflict, and all of that.
That strategy can work if the chapters are long enough, but once they get below a certain size, it just... it doesn’t work. If you’re having to establish excitement, stakes, and cliffhangers in every chapter and those chapters are only 500-1000 words long, it rapidly becomes a mess. There’s little space or opportunity to build an overarching plot or provide more details or evocative prose. Character development often goes out the window.
Now, I’m not saying it’s impossible to make it work. I’ve seen it done. But the skills needed to write good chapters that are about 5000 words long are very different. You’re basically going from being a specialist in writing short stories to someone who has to write vignettes or flash fiction. The skillsets have some overlap but are not identical by any means.
The more cynical part of me notes that the change to chapter length coincided with a bold claim that everyone who signs up for the Patreon can read ahead by 10 chapters. It is, after all, very much easier to keep 10 chapters ahead when each chapter is so much shorter.

If I want to apply for both the regular writer position and the love letter position, how would the app there work? I know that there's the flash fiction, obviously, but the other two submissions have the same parameters in both positions. Would it just be four submissions then (two under 3k, one required complete story, one required complete flash fic) orrrr six in total? Is applying for both even allowed?
Thanks a ton! I'm really excited.
Hi there anon, thank you for your interest and a great question!
So, applying for both is definitely allowed, however, you will only be chosen for one of the two roles.
In terms of applying for both, as long as you hit the unique parameters for each role across all three of your submissions, that is all you will need. (But feel free to put more examples in your portfolio, if you would like.)
To break it down, for both regular and love letter writers there is the parameters of:
all samples must be no more than 3000 words
one of the samples must be a complete story with a beginning, middle and end
one samples must focus on either Maya or Franziska as a character.
And for love letter writers there is the additional parameter:
one of the samples must be a complete story between 500-1000 words.
Here is two different examples of how you might apply for both roles at the same time.
Applicant 1 submits 3 samples:
An original flash fiction story. (Satisfies the flash fiction requirements.)
A complete 3000 word FranMaya ship fic, which functions as its own story. (Satisfies the complete story requirement, as well as the focusing on Franziska/and or Maya requirement.)
A 3000 word excerpt from a long fic they wrote that they feel best exemplifies their writing style, prose choice and character work. (Since all other requirements are met, and they make sure to choose the best 3000 words from their long fic, this sample could be from any fandom, or an original work or Ace Attorney but focusing on another character.)
Applicant 2 submits 3 samples:
A complete flash fiction fanfic about Maya Fey. (Satisfies the flash fiction requirement and character focus requirement.)
A complete 2000 word FranMaya fanfic.
A complete 3000 word NaruMitsu fanfic. (Both 2 and 3 satisfy the complete story requirement, and allows flexibility to show off different aspects of their writing style.)
These are just two examples, there are other combinations that you could use that still satisfy the requirements of both applications.
We hope these examples makes sense.
Alternatively, if it's simpler you can apply for each role separately, just leave a note for the mods that you have done so.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask!
And thank you so much for all the support!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with flash fiction. If under 1000 words - Hell, if under 500 words - is the right length for a story, let it stay that length rather than padding it out.
I might have to write a complete "Worf refuses to believe Garak was / is a spy" fan fiction now. An idea for it has been had
By "complete," I probably mean under a thousand words, but still. Plus side, I can naturally include and expand upon previously written Worf quotes.

Each Friday I’ll be posting flash fiction between 500 and 1000 words. Every piece takes place in the world I have created for my novel-in-progress, a continent known as ‘Olrion’. While none of the stories will relate to the narrative of my book, I am doing this exercise to expand the lore and build the world in which they take place.
This week, I took the cue of a false confession from @flashfictionfridayofficial’s prompt.
CNs for violence and torture
I spat blood at his face. It splattered across his eye, making him blink and jolt his head back, grimacing in disgust. It earned me another thwack around the face. I rolled my head back and laughed. He really thought this is the worst night I’ve ever had?
I grew up in Krügz, a poor little village in Dwarfesbörg. Families shared one room and we ate rats and stale bread for most of our meals. Even the children went to work in the mines, hauling out the ore that Jügular had apparently blessed us with, for the glory of all dwarvenkind. That’s what the priests told us at the weekly prayer sessions, anyway. My aching back from the age of five didn’t feel all that glorious to me.
Another hit brought me back into the room, this time to my gut. I laughed once more and the man roared with anger. It delighted me to see him so pissed off. I only had to hold out a few minutes longer before I spoke. Then it would sound convincing.
I was approaching 29 now, you see—not quite an adult, but I still felt much older than a child. Much, much older than my younger sister, who was 14, beard just beginning to grow in. Rarni deserved a good life, a life better than mine, a life where she didn’t have to live surrounded by the smell of shit, where she didn’t have to toil away so that the Council of Five could make their poxy offerings each year, where she didn’t break her back so that the nobles on the Isles of Wey could have their jewellery. She deserved gems herself, but instead she had to settle for the twinkle in my eye when I looked at her.
My head was yanked back by my hair, forcing me to snap my neck back and stare the man ‘questioning’ me right in the eye. I grinned at him with teeth now missing, blood dripping from too many areas of my face to name. I could feel my right eye swelling shut.
“You gonna talk now?” the man barked.
“Sure you don’t want one more hit for good luck?” By the look on his face, he wasn’t impressed with my jibes. “Fine, fine, you’ve got me. I’ve had enough. Of course it was me who stole the nugget”.
That fucking nugget. No bigger than your thumbnail, it was, although I do have to admit the gleam of the gold was something to behold once you got the chance to properly look at it. I found it under the rags that Rarni slept on, right where her head would lay. I silently took it, turning it round and around in my hands, deciding what to do next.
The marketplace was to be my stopping point. Security was on high alert in the area as usual, but they were more twitchy since the mine reported the theft. I gripped the nugget in my dirt-stained hands and made sure that I was going to time everything right. It was a reverse heist of sorts. It must’ve been a similar feeling for Rarni when she made her little theft.
As I passed the guard, the one who would later come and beat me senseless for my ‘confession’, I made sure to trip, the nugget flying out of my hand so as to land at his feet. He looked down and back up, and then did the same once more. A terrible sneer swept across his face as he stepped on my hand whilst I was still laid out on the floor.
“You’re fucking nicked”, he said.
“Guess the game is up”, I replied.
The confession was brought out to me, already written, although I couldn’t read a word of it anyway. I marked the paper with an X—much bigger than they wanted me to; a final act of resistance—and stared forward with a slight smile on my face.
It was to be 13 years of hard labour, but I figured that I was used to that anyway. I would’ve paid any price, including the headman’s axe, to save her. I just hope my mother doesn’t weep too much over her precious firstborn being hauled off for a show trial before our separation for a baker’s dozen’s worth of years. Perhaps one day Rarni will even forgive me for taking away her little bit of treasure, the only smidgen of beauty that she possessed—bar her own, which she would not recognise—in an otherwise bleak existence.
I had done my duty as a big brother well. And to do that, I would have walked through fire itself. Thank fuck it’s only going to be breaking rocks, though, as nobody wants burned feet.

Fanfiction 101: The Basics
Fanwork is a crazy thing because it can be fun and frustrating at the same time. Obviously, it’s fun because it’s a way to express passion about something. But it’s also a demanding activity. To create something good, it’s crucial to have the skills to do so. Writing fanfiction is no different from any other form of fanwork: it takes time, a lot of effort, some basic knowledge and some specific knowledge. But for now, I’ll stick to the basics.
When it comes to fanfiction, an author has to consider a few topics during the creative process. The most common ones are genre, length, characterization, relationships among characters and how similar the piece is to canon. Let’s talk briefly about each one of them.
Genre
It sets the tone of a scene or an entire piece. Aside from the ones used on literary world, fanfiction also has fluff, smut, humor, angst, hurt/comfort, dark and vent. Yes, there are others, but don’t forget that we’re talking about setting the tone of a story.
One thing some writers do a lot in one of the fandoms I’m part of is to add the genre in the warnings. I could ramble a lot about the misuse of warnings and what I think about revealing the gender of a story, but I would digress too much from the basic notions of fanfiction. This is a subject for another post.
Length
The length of fanfiction is determined by its word count, which is precisely what makes this metadata part an important information in a fanfic. By definition, any form of writing, even if it has just a few words, qualifies as fanfiction. Each story has its own length and it can have as many words as the author see fit.
Dribble: 55 words long
Drabble: though some might say anything under 1000 words is a drabble, its definition specificies that drabbles have exact 100 words.
Double drabble: 200 words long
Trabble/tribble: 300 words long
Pentadrabble: 500 words long
Flash fiction: 500 words or less
Ficlet: any work with word count between 100 and 1000 words (A.K.A. what people usually call drabble 😏)
Short fic/short story: word count between 1000 and 17500 words
Novella: word count between 17500 and 25000 words.
Novelette: word count between 25000 and 40000 words.
Novel: over 40000 words.
Long fic: though the concept may vary, works with more than 10000 words are considered long fics. It usually has a complex plot and multiple parts/chapters.
Characters and Pairings/Relationships
Not every story has one, but on Choices fandom, those are the things that usually draw fans to a certain book. Fanfic authors can either keep the essence of a character (canon compliant) while writing them or give them different traits writing them out of character. Though it’s common to find fics mentioning the presence of OOC characters on the header because some of us don’t appreciate significant changes in characterization, it isn’t mandatory.
Pairings refer to any characters in romantic and/or sexual relationships. Though the original concept implies romantic relationships between two characters (one true pairings), some can extend its meaning to polyamorous relationships (OT3/4, moresomes). When we think about relationships in fanworks, it’s important to mention a few concepts:
Main pairing: a relationship that exists in canon and is popular in the fandom (e.g. Liam Rys x MC, Damon Salvatore x Elena Gilbert, Peter Parker x Mary Jane Watson);
Rarepair: a relationship that may exist in canon, but isn’t popular in the fandom (e.g. Hana Lee x MC, Jeremy Gilbert x Anna Zhu, Steve Rogers x Natasha Romanoff)
Crack ship: a relationship created by fans and it only exists in fanworks. It includes pairing up main characters with non-romanceable characters, relationships between love interests, love interests and non-romanceable characters, relationships between non-romanceable characters (i.e. Drake x Olivia, Klaus Mikaelson x Stefan Salvatore, Steve Rogers x Bucky Barnes)
Fanfiction which doesn’t include any sort of romantic or sexual rellationships are known as gen. They’re not so popular in our fandom, but I love them. I mean, who doesn’t like a good friendship or family fic?
Canon compliant x Canon divergent
This is probably the best part of writing fanfiction in my opinion. So many things can be done if you explore canon complaint stories like writing missing scenes to give further explanations about a event or character’s behavior, fix-it fics to adapt the scene to your liking, flashbacks, future fics and so on. On the order hand, canon divergent stories are the ones because they allow a fanfic author to be creative and imagine those characters in a new setting. The possibilities are endless when you write an alternate universe version of a story.
But much like characterization, some people are only interested in stories based on the original setting. It’s important to give a heads up to your reader if your story is canon compliant or divergent.
That’s it for this week! Did I miss any topics? Do you have any suggestions? Let me know by commenting, reblogging or sending me a message/ask.
Happy writing/reading!

A Shoutout To Fanfic Writers
The COVID-19 quarantine has thrown us all off a bit, but we're finding ways to cope. One of those ways happens to be fanfiction. Before we continue, I'd like to say thank you to all the writers providing us with content during this time, and as a writer myself, thank you to anyone who has read my stories and left their comments and kudos. It means more than you think. Now, onto a question I believe most fic writers find themselves asking every now and then...
How much are we writing?
According to this website, there are several classifications dependant on word count. These include:
0-500 words: Flash Fiction
1000-8000 words: Short Story
5000-10,000 words: Long Short Story
10,000-40,000 words: Novella
60,000-100,000 words: Novel
Sidenote: While 60K to 100K is the usual range, any work of literature above 40K can be considered a novel, and 110K words is the absolute maximum for novels.
110,000+ words: Epic
So, what are my stats?
According to this system, if I take a look at my completed projects, I've written:
6 Short Stories
1 Long Short Story
4 Novellas
1 Epic
In case you want to take a look at any of them, my AO3 profile is here.
Collectively, I've written 282,674 words of fanfiction total. That's about two epics and a novella. The fact that I've already written ONE epic is already crazy enough as is. Inspiration really is a powerful thing, ain't it?
In case anyone's curious, the epic I wrote is 148,649 words long. It's called Lost Cause.
So, if this is how much I've contributed to the fanfic community, imagine how much other, more frequent writers are doing. How do you stack up by this system?

Reason Behind my Commissions: I'm looking to try to save up some money to help my mother with the bills once I turn 18. She has stage 3 invasive ductal carcinoma (Breast cancer that starts in the milk duct) and I want to surprise her.
IMPORTANT: Terms and conditions will be privately given to you if you decide to commission me.
Prices (Art)
Prices are as stated;
Prices will depend on the criteria below, we can discuss them to be flexible to your budget.
I will no be lowering my prices for someone who can pay me with a higher budget.
- The complexity of your character design.
- Whether or not you want a background.
- Whether there will be extra characters in the piece or just one - additional characters = additional cost.
- Whether you want it as line art or coloured.
- Whether you want a traditionally coloured piece or a digitally coloured one.
- If traditional, whether or not you want the piece mailed to you - mailing fees will be added on top of the price we arrange.
- We can discuss payment method.
- Contact will be done on Instagram or Discord if you do not have either of these we can come to some other agreement - after the initial note here.
- I will draw most anything except; nsfw, extreme gore and feral.
