TFTHY is open for sign ups through the end of the month!

#ficwip @ficwip.bsky.social · Sep 1

our original discord event returns today! The Fic That Haunts You is a 3-month event challenging us to make progress on fics we think about a lot but never work on. we'll attempt to get past this by identifying what's getting in our way & making plans to get past it.

Not everyone likes discord or larger servers, but it's the setup we've used since 2022 and it works well for us. Tragically this is not the AU where I am a billionaire who can fly you all to a private island.

it's almost impossible to get people to use one hashtag correctly, let alone multiple versions. I've found native tools + simple warnings work best

1

#ficwip @ficwip.bsky.social · 15d

please use the native tools for whatever platform where you share your work to indicate if something is NSFW. that way people with existing filters are taken care of. I'd recommend adding a NSFW tag/mention as well for people who mute that term

this seems like a nice day to remind everyone that there are no content restrictions for All Ships Week. we just ask you to tag NSFW content on social media during the event, as a courtesy to one another, and tag honestly on AO3.
