Tiny Fandoms Flash

A couple of things!

1) I've finally learned how to do the codebox, so heres the header in an easily copy-pasteble format. This will also be added to the posting guidelines in the Rules post. First up is the markdown version:

**Title:** **Author:** **Fandom:** (Full fandom name, including TV or Movie, author name if it's a book) (ex: The King's Delight - Sarah Honey, ex: Leverage (TV), ex: Prey (Video Game)) **Rating:** (Teen, General, Explicit etc) **Category:** (M/M, F/F, Gen, etc) **Relationship(s):** ( / for romantic relationships, & for platonic relationships, ~ for queerplatonic relationships) **Character(s):** **Word Count:** **Spoiler:** **Summary:** **Notes/Warnings:**

And here's the HTML version:

<b>Title:</b> <b>Author:</b> <b>Fandom:</b> (Full fandom name, including TV or Movie, author name if it's a book) (ex: The King's Delight - Sarah Honey, ex: Leverage (TV), ex: Prey (Video Game)) <b>Rating:</b> (Teen, General, Explicit etc) <b>Category:</b> (M/M, F/F, Gen, etc) <b>Relationship(s):</b> ( / for romantic relationships, & for platonic relationships, ~ for queerplatonic relationships) <b>Character(s):</b> <b>Word Count:</b> <b>Spoiler:</b> <b>Summary:</b> <b>Notes/Warnings:</b>

2) We're already using / for romantic relationship and & for platonic relationships, and now we're adding ~ for queerplatonic relationships! (Learned about this on SqWA and think it's very cool.)

3) Related to 2, I'm thinking of redoing the category tags. I just pulled them off AO3, but they're every romance oriented, and like. Yeah. I don't really know. Feedback is welcomed.

4) Author and fandom tags. I'm not sure how obvious this was, but it's 5 fics = fandom tag and 5 fics = author tag. That's not how it was originally, but this is simpler. (If you think 5 fics is too high a number or not high enough, I'm interested in your feedback.The other number I'm leaning toward is 3.)

Author tag will be done like so [a: quillpunk] to accommodate long usernames. Fandom tags will be [f: fandom name (tv if needed)].

I'm not keeping very good track of who has written how many fics and how many fics have been posted in a fandom, so if you ever do the math and go "huh. i/this fandom/that author should have a tag" just let me know somewhere.

If you don't want to have an author tag, just let me know. I don't need a reason why. :D

...And I think that's it for now!

Alright. So the set-up for this comm is nearly done. All the necessary things for the comm and challenge to function have been completed (though of course if I've missed something don't hesitate to let me know) and what's left is 'luxury' things like promotional graphics (my graphics skills are... very hit and miss so gonna be fun to see how that turns out).

The set up progress post is here. At the end of the rules post I've stacked on clarifications regarding what qualify regarding franchises and adaptations. A general post for questions, suggestions, etc. can be found here.

...So I think we're good to go with the first prompt on July 1!

About

Hi, and welcome to tinyfandomflash! This is currently run by quillpunk. This is flash writing challenge for fandoms with 500 or less fics!

If you have any questions/concerns/suggestions, you can put them on this post. The comm's set-up progress can be found here.

If posting your fic on AO3, you can add it to this collection. If on Squidgeworld, there is this collection.

A chronological masterpost of all challenges can be found here.

If you're here as a reader, the easiest way to peruse the fics is probably with the [!] fic roundup tag. (Though you naturally won't be finding roundups for the current month there!)

Schedule

I'm keeping the schedule simple: 2 prompts a month, one prompt on every 1st and 15th of the month. No need to make things complicated here. There is no deadline, which means there's no amnesty. You can use any prompt at any time, even if it's years old. You can also combine these prompts with other events as you please.

The hope is simply some more content for the truly tiny fandoms!
