fic_promptly, writing communities

[lucathia]

I've been browsing Dreamwidth writing communities since LJ has been down quite a lot and I needed places to lurk, or else I'd have felt so stranded. Lots of awesome writing communities!

fic_promptly - prompt posts everyday, with lots of people pitching in prompts. I really want to write something for this. There's one Noblesse prompt that I would love to write, but I can't seem to get started, so I guess I won't be able to do it. :3;; Am still turning it around in my mind. Meanwhile... *tosses prompts at people* I hope someone writes some prompts I tossed in. I am kind of stirring up plunnies myself with these, haha.

hard_mode (video game big bang) is something I'd love to do... since 10k sounds doable for a Big Bang. XD; (10k is like... a very long oneshot!) I currently have no ideas for video game fics though, so... *mulls on this one* If I somehow write a video game fic over 10k before June, I'd join this. Unlikely that it'll happen though, since my writing commitments are now all over the place. (I'm still wondering if I can finish my NaNo by June and print it... maybe if I go back and edit/expand the first section and only print that section as a stand alone...)

no_true_pair looks so fun, but the current round has already started. I think I'll keep on eye on this community for the next round that's run this way. :3

As for my writing commitments... currently, I still have 31days_exchange to finish (I asked for an extension! Still, I better finish within this month...) and 30_kisses with Namiki/Kaichou (only 9 parts left out of 30, but my inspiration seems to have completely died. I already plotted out the rest last August, er, more than half a year ago. An earthquake was a major part of the plot, but now I feel it's more of a plot device than anything... I don't think I can write it in a meaningful way). I also want to work on my NaNo more and print it for myself, but eh, June deadline? That's just around the corner!

With so much I want to write... I think I'll end up writing nothing. :'D

I'll definitely keep AO3 in mind. :) Perhaps advertise it a little or gather interest in the next open art/fic post that you put up? That could be a start.

Aside from my own LJ, I don't have any particular places in mind that I could post Tobi's Tale or any of my stories really. D: Do you think any of the places you mentioned (AO3 included) would be good places?

I fret easily about my work; as you may notice.

Oh, that's a good idea. I'll include a link and talk about it in the next open art/fic post. *__*

AO3 would be a good place to do it! I'm pretty sure they would recognize Colors Universe as a fandom... since they also have fandoms for a lot of other fan started things like webcomics, though I guess Colors Universe is a bit different... Deviantart might also be a good choice, and it's also good for posting art. Perhaps I could start a Colors group on deviantart that people could submit to? *muses* We'd probably get the same traffic (people from the TCG), but it'd be nice to have our work on a bigger archive site for people to stumble on!

Fretting leads to improvement though! <3

I'm not sure exactly what Colors is, but in general, if a bunch of people are calling something a fandom, that's good enough for AO3. (Though if it's sufficiently obscure, tag wranglers may not know what to do with the fandom tags for it.)

Colors is an online trading card game, which normally doesn't have anything to do with fic, but the part that does have to do with fanwork is our Colors Universe part. We've been holding monthly contests to design characters. Now we have a set of eight characters that members of the community write and draw about. Here's where all our fanwork goes. Since the characters are all fan created, I wasn't too sure if this would count as a fandom or if it would be too much on the original work side, though various people contribute fic, and we also have monthly writing prompts... it would be very obscure, definitely.
