An inclusive, safe community for fanfiction writers to give and receive feedback on their works

What is our goal?

We aim to be a safe, friendly, supportive space for meeting other writers from all corners of fandom and exchanging feedback via the concept of review exchanges. We believe in the importance of seeking feedback from other writers. We value creative liberty and promote inclusiveness. Everyone is welcome, regardless of fandom or the type of content that they write. Please keep these core concepts in mind.

Rules

  1. Be nice- We know this is reddit, but this fandom hobby is hard enough, let's create a nice community.

  2. No harassment- No harassment, bullying, personal attacks, stalking, or doxxing. Such behavior is a banable offense

  3. Posting of Exchanges- Exchanges are free to organize by anyone at anytime. There is a template together with an explanation of what REs are, as a pinned post. If you don't use the template, the rules concerning requirements and deadlines have to be clear.

  4. Deletion of Posted Exchanges- If you post an exchange, please be aware that if anyone besides you signs up for the exchange prior to the deadline for entry that you are committed to managing it through completion. If you cannot fulfill this duty due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact the mods about a reassignment of management of the exchange. Deleting a posted RE without warning may result in action from the mod team.

  5. Management of Exchanges- For exchange hosts, if the deadline of an exchange has passed, send reminders to those who haven't done their reviews. If after 24 hours you receive no reply and the reviews aren't done, message the mods to let them know the status of the exchange.

  6. Exchange deadlines and obligations- Please complete your required reviews within the deadline. Being late in REs isn't a bannable offense. But you have to fulfill outstanding obligations before participating further. If the mods have communicated with you about clearing up obligations and you would like to participate in future exchanges, it behooves you to communicate with the mods regarding completion of your outstanding reviews.

  7. Feedback & Concrit- Please make your feedback on others' fics genuine and thoughtful. If comments you receive in exchanges are too low effort to be considered a review or if you suspect the user hasn't even read your fic, message the mods who will take further action. Concrit is always opt-in. Ie if a user doesn't specifically request concrit, don't offer it unsolicited.

  8. Contact the mods- Please contact the mods via modmail for any questions or concerns. If you are contacted by the mods about any issues, please do your best to reply if needed.

  9. Topics, flairs, and user flair- You can make posts on non-RE topics, hence the existence of flairs like "fic general," "venting," or "writing advice." Note that the use of flairs is mandatory. If the topic isn't at all fanfic-related, please post in discussion threads. For user flair, there is only one flair and it's editable, you can write whatever you want. But please don't be offensive in the flair.

  10. Respect the concept- Don't bash REs or any participants. When organizing REs, try to upvote the post and everyone's contribution. Don't get discouraged by lurker of spam bot downvotes. Focus on the lovely community and friendship.

  11. Safe space- All fandoms, ships, genres, and ratings welcome. Do not complain about any fictional content shared here. KINKTOMATO, ship and let ship, don't like:don't read, etc. Shaming anyone for what they choose to write is a banable offense. Go clutch pearls somewhere else

  12. Original works- Fanfiction writers who also have OG works on a ff platform like ao3 may submit their OG for REs. You may also choose to review OG in a profile RE. However, if most or all of your work is OG, you are a lost redditor

  13. Triggering and explicit content- See rule 11. We welcome creativity and do not tolerate censorship when it comes to fictional content created by our writers. However, please spoiler triggering content when quoting direct excerpts or adding warnings to entries. Explicit content can go in a NSFW post without spoilers.

  14. No individual self-promo posts- Self-promo is all we do on this sub via REs. You can also mention your fic as much as you want in activities, discussions, etc. But no individual self-promo posts requesting reviews without giving anything back to the community please.

👀 'Recommend me' exchange ✨

A review exchange with a twist! Instead of offering up a fic or a profile for others to choose from, you specify a type of story you'd like to read, and then other participants recommend you suggestions from their own fics.

Here's how it works - you post a request (to get the best recommendations, be specific, but not super narrow), examples might include:

  • Hit me with your fluffiest G or T-rated slice of life stories, or
  • I'd like to read M/M smut, the spicier, the better, or
  • I want to read the most action-packed scenes you've got

Others will then post suggestions under your comment. You're required to read and review at least three (3) of the suggestions you get (leaving kudos is also nice, too!)

Once you've entered, you're then free to pitch an appropriate fic of yours in reply to as many others' requests as you like! When you do, please spoiler anything NSFW or triggering, and include rating and word count.

If you're unclear on any of that, here's a link to a previous running of this exchange - take a look and it should clarify how it works!

Important note: in order for this to keep with one of the key tenets of the sub it is important that you frame what you would like to read positively. In keeping with rule 12 on this being a safe space for all, do not provide a list of dislikes/'don't wants' on your post. Please also don't list a set of fandoms to read - again, because of the principle of inclusivity.

Please track, on your entry, the number of works read (#/3). Reviews should be genuine and thoughtful; concrit, and mentions of ‘fandom blind’ and ‘from Reddit’ are opt-in only. After you've left a comment, reply to their recommendation on here to let them know. You do not need to reply to all of your recommendations, just the ones you choose to read (please do not say why you aren't reading a particular fic).

Deadline to join (i.e., post your request) - 5pm UTC Tuesday 12th November

Deadline to make recommendations to others' requests - 5pm UTC Saturday 16th November

Deadline to complete reviews - 5pm UTC Saturday 23rd November

If you enter the exchange, DO NOT delete your entry. Please talk to the mods via modmail if something comes up and you have concerns about doing something timely or there are any other issues with completing your reviews.

Happy requesting, recommending, and reading!

Would love a beta for a Skyrim fic I'm working on!

Basically, Tullius has a half-niece, and she was close with her younger cousin, Torygg. She understandably hates Ulfric Stormcloak as a result. When the noblewoman finds out she's dragonborn, she realizes that she's not cut out for the whole "battling dragons" thing, having been raised for court and not war. Most of the dungeons and whatnot are cleared by legionnaires, and she really just follows behind to absorb dragon souls and read word walls. After the point in the main quest that it becomes apparent the only way to beat Alduin is with a shout, she realizes, to her unmitigated horror, that she'll need to work with Ulfric to beat him. He's the only person other than the greybeards who knows how to shout, which means he's the only one who will be able to help her. They are oil and water, don't get along at all, suffer from the sort of "dad and his too-similar daughter" dynamic. Ulfric finds her useless, prissy, and is frustrated by her inadequacy as dragonborn, while she, in addition to hating him for killing her little cousin, finds it absurd that he expects her to become a competent warrior when she spent the first 25 years of her life studying completely unrelated topics. They're both deeply insecure people and lash out to disguise it, and both believe that the ways of their homeland are inherently superior. Neither is supposed to be particularly likeable, but they will have redeeming qualities.

I plan to get around the way that it takes most people years to learn a single shout by saying that dragonrend, as it was invented by mortals, for mortals, is easy for a man who has seen more death than most to grasp. It won't be instantaneous, but he will learn it soon enough to be useful in the final battle.

I'm a good bit of the way through the first chapter, but would love to use someone as a sounding board in addition to having them proofread it. I'm tired of badass dragonborns, I want a girly-girl to fumble her way through the apocalypse with someone she very much wants dead.

Character's Go-To Drink Order

Please share your character's go-to drink order(s). Can they not get by without their morning cup of joe? Black? Cream? Americano? Mermaid Frappe? Do they fancy a cuppa? Do they make a healthy smoothie after their morning run? Soda? Seltzer? Always the correct wine with any meal? A beer? If so, are we talking a Bud Light or a micro brewed stout? Cocktails? Dirty martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives?

Whether it's an established thing in canon, your fic, or if it's something that you are coming up with for this exercise that you are learning about as you explore your character(s) and write your response, please share in the comments!

Seeking advice on a NSFW fic I'm writing!

The only story I've ever written is in the Twilight Fandom, and I always wanted to try 2 things: Writing explicit spicy romance, and rewriting New Moon so that Bella chooses Jacob instead of Edward. Bella grows a backbone and decides that she wants to choose the person that will never leave her. I am also redirecting Jacob out of his problematic arc from the books. He is good to Bella and she finally realizes that's what she deserves. It starts after the cliff jump.

It's not all NSFW content, I have developed a plot and some hopefully compelling content to make it a satisfying, slow burn, hurt/comfort romance story with some pretty explicit sexy scenes.

Now my question!! In my head canon, both Bella and Jacob are 18. I personally cannot write such NSFW content about characters that are minors, and so I have a note in the summary of my story that says "my head canon is that Jacob and Bella are both 18 in this story". Is that enough to not require an underage sex trigger warning? I do not mention ages in the story itself, so I could see where readers might miss the note in the summary. Thing is I just don't want to offend anyone by not including the trigger, but to me, this is a change to the original characters in my fic to avoid the questionable content.

Should I feel worried about this, and what would you do?

Long Deadline Profile Exchange 📖📚📓🎉

It's Friday, and so it's time for the Long Deadline Profile Exchange 🎉

HOW IT WORKS: This is a subreddit event where everyone posts their AO3 (or FFN) profile with some information about the kind of fics they write. Then, the other participants will look through their profiles, read a one-shot or chapter by the author, and then leave a comment on one of their works. (A kudo would be nice too!)

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY is Sunday 10th November at 5PM CET (Central European Time) (UTC+1)

DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION is Saturday 16th November at 5PM CET (Central European Time) (UTC+1)

What Are the Rules?

Post your profile link and a short summary of the kind of stories that one might find there (fandom, genre, rating, etc.). Please spoiler anything triggering or NSFW.

Once you enter, you will have to review at least 4 stories/chapters of long fics from 4 different profiles (one from each). Please include in your submission "Reviewed 0/4" so we can keep track.

Your reviews should be thoughtful. The writer should be able to tell that you read the story. Say what you like about the story. Was something funny? Did something touch you? Make you want to throat punch one of their characters? TELL THEM ABOUT IT! At least 50 words/3 sentences per review. ConCrit and/or stating you are "fandom blind" or "from Reddit" in the review are opt-in only. After you've left a comment, reply to the author's comment on this post to let them know.

I would like to continue to challenge folks to read at least one person who is new to them as possible.

If you enter the exchange, DO NOT delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews for the exchange. Please talk to the mods if something comes up and you have concerns about doing something timely.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

Fic de iron man Time travel

HELPAAAA. I'm looking for a time travel fic where tony travels back in time. The title is something like “wikihow doesn't have a guide to saving the world” or something like that.

In the story Tony moves into his family's old house and has the Delta and Strike team as his bodyguards. Tony and Rosa take down Hydra and the Rimelos agents and their team help Tony because at Hydra they are treated very poorly and Tony is a good boss.

In the last updated chapter that I remember, they just finished with hydra and Tony gets a call from Clint that they have Laura and Tony and his team are going to save her (Bucky is included)

Normally I always find it very quickly but the tags that I usually use for bus tal don't work and I think they have deleted it 😭😭😭😭

Lost LOTR Fic - brokenhearted and hoping you can help

I'm looking for copies of some lost Lord of The Rings fics. Unfortunately, I lost a year's worth of saved fics recently so just trying to find these last few faves. They were posted on AO3 and are Aragorn/OFC pairing.

1 fic is a 2-part series by FaerieTr4p - links below.

The series link: >https://archiveofourown.org/series/2290829

Like A Powder Keg: >https://archiveofourown.org/works/31043405

Whispers In The Moonlight: >https://archiveofourown.org/works/31270193

The other, and most wanted fic I'm looking for I cant remember the name of but I've included a description below. If anyone recognises it, even if you don't have a copy of it, please let me know. I might be able to track it down:

It's very similar to Padma the Q's fanfic, "Never Back Again". In this one, though, the OC has a medic background, is a Tenth Walker, and goes to Gondor with Gandalf and Pippin but remains hidden in the city, helping to plan for the upcoming battle at Pelenor Fields to reduce the number of deaths. She does this while hidden away in a dark pub in the lower levels of Gondor. Prince Imrahil helps and she becomes friends with his daughter.

She also helps a healer that has come from Rohan, with the ill of the city - a man who is tired and has a grey palour - they use belladonna or something similar to help him and the writer makes note that it is also used as the base of heart and/or asthma medication, here. They also mention pharmacology.

😬 Thanks!

Demographics: Where you at?

I am (also) curious about how worldwide this subreddit is. This poll was drawn before about a year ago, but I wanna do it again since we have significantly many more people here now! Feel free to list your country in the comments too.

Also (for no particular reason at all) I hope you are all doing okay and that you know that the rest of us has got your back! 🫂

Are you participating in writing challenges this month?

Hello sub population,

Are you participating in any challenges this November? If so, what's your goal, and how is it going so far?

Are you partaking in the Water Closet Challenge on our Discord server perhaps? I know how the name sounds, but it's like shlong (except the term hasn't quite taken off yet). On our server, we have a challenge to write a specific amount of words you set in advance in the month of November. The example is 50K, but it doesn't have to be, it can be higher or lower. It's a general WC Challenge. (WC stands for word count of course in this context, at least normally. But it also stands for other things, hence... I'm sure I don't need to explain this too much lol)

Anyway, gush about your goals in the comments below, what you want to write, whether you're planning on finishing that forever WIP of yours, or start a new fic or original fiction work, etc

Rare Pair Exchange

Rare ships, sometimes invented by our own wild imagination, other times just a ship that gets overlooked or overshadowed by other ships. So, let's got for a rare pai exchange! Saw the last one was done a bit ago so wanted to host one

The ‘rarepair’ (doesn’t have to be a ‘pair’ – OT3s, etc., are welcome) is a ship with under 100 total fics on AO3. IF the fandom is huge, the ship has to represent under 5% of the total fics in its fandom. You can include crossover ships, but not OCs.

You can submit up to four (4) one-shots or chapters – these can all be for the same ship or for different ships.

Please include the title, fandom, rating, wordcount, and, so we get to know just how rare the ship is, the number of fics for your rarepair versus the total number of fics in the fandom (e.g., ‘10 Character A / Character B fics out of 10,000 total stories in Fandom X’).

Apply content warnings, spoil any triggering content,and feel free to add a short summary or any context that you think would be helpful for potential readers.

If you submit your work, you are required to review four (4) works from four(4) different authors. As ever, feel free to review more than the requirement if more stories catch your eye! Reviews have to be at least 50 words long

Please track, on your entry, the number of works read (#/4). Reviews should be genuine and thoughtful; concrit, and mentions of ‘fandom blind’ and ‘from Reddit’ are opt-in only.

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT ENTRIES: 10 PM EST, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 10 TH

DEADLINE TO COMPLETE REVIEWS: 10 PM EST, FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15 TH

Please complete your reviews within the deadline!

Happy reading and reviewing!

looking for a beta + i am willing to beta

hiii, so i have 2 WIPs for now (and 2 more lined up):

FANDOM: romance club

FANDOM-BLIND FRIENDLY: yes, i think so.

GENRE: supernatural, mystery, angst/romance with sexual content

LOOKING FOR A BETA: read both published and unpublished chapters and give feedback (con-crit is welcome), make sure it makes sense (not too long/wordy, use of overused phrases/words – guilty of this) help with tags, dialogue-check (to feel more natural), flow of the story/transition (to be more cohesive), fandom-blind is fine, is ok with smut.

WORD COUNT: 3-5k words per chapter

UPDATE FREQUENCY: tbh it depends. weekly/biweekly/monthly

FANDOM/GENRE WILLING TO BETA FOR: message me first, there are too many to mention. i can do fandom-blind but it depends, i’ll have to ask you about it then decide and also if you’re ok with that. any genre is fine. smut is ok. for TW – depends, DM me.

WHAT I OFFER IN EXCHANGE: read your published chapters and leave comments, read your unpublished chapters and give feedback, but NOT con-crit. it also depends on what you need and if i can provide that for you (communication is key lol) DM me. long fics are ok, but this will take time. one-off or ongoing betaing will depend on us.

Constructive Feedback Swap

UPDATE: closed to new submissions, happy swapping!

This exchange is to swap with our fellow writers, to ask and answer specific questions about our writing. There's no specific theme to meet, everything is welcome!

If you’d like some suggestions about the kinds of questions you might ask, and/or how to provide constructive feedback, I’ve made this hints, tips and resources document.

Rules

  1. Offer up a one shot or individual chapter you would like constructive feedback on. It can be posted or in progress so long as you can link to it.

  2. In your submission state fandom, length, rating and any relevant warnings.

  3. Also include the questions you are looking to have answered. There is no maximum number of questions, however please consider the time it will take someone to review your work and answer them constructively.

  4. Look through the thread for someone to swap with. Because of the kind of exchange this is, you don't have to pick something you’ve never commented on before. In fact, if you have already read it, you might find giving feedback even easier. If you offer a swap, the other person can decline for any reason, and they don't need to specify those reasons.

  5. This is important! For all your swaps, agree upfront how the feedback will be provided. This might be in an ao3 comment, by DM on reddit or discord, a shared Google doc created for the purpose, or another mutually agreed method.

If you don't find a swap, then you may consider your obligations under this exchange fulfilled. There's no limit on the number of swaps, however please consider the effort which will be required in order to complete your obligations.

Once a swap is agreed please edit your post to state who you are swapping with, and edit again once the constructive feedback has been provided to help me keep track.

For posted works, it would be nice to leave a kudos on the fic if you enjoyed it. A public comment, if you are not providing your feedback that way, is a courtesy rather than a requirement for this exchange. Once you provide the requested constructive feedback in the manner agreed, your obligations have been fulfilled.

You have until Friday 8th November (11pm, GMT) to enter. All constructive feedback should be completed by Sunday 24th November (11pm, GMT)

It's peer learning time! Let's swap some fics and get some constructive feedback on our work!

Here we go again, everyone! It's Friday! Hallelujah! And it's our favourite time of the week! It is the Long Deadline Profile Exchange!

So, come to the dark side! We have cookies!

HOW IT WORKS: This is a subreddit event where everyone posts their AO3 (or FFN) profile with some information about the kind of fics they write. Then, the other participants will look through their profile, read a one-shot or chapter by the author, and then leave a comment on one of their words. (A kudos would be nice too!)

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY is Monday November 4 3pm AEST.

DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION is Sunday November 10 3pm AEST. Reminders will be sent out 48 hours before the deadline.

Again, I'm a permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under, so please make sure you note the different-than-usual deadlines. In case you need it, here's a time zone converter. (Any fellow Aussies lurking, remember daylight savings and that it's AEST and not AEDT.)

What are the rules?

Post your profile link and a short summary of the kinds of stories that one might find there (fandom, genre, rating, etc.). If you include anything that is NSFW or triggering, please spoiler it.

Once you enter, you will have to review at least 4 stories/chapters from 4 different profiles (one from each). Please include in your submission "Reviewed 0/4" so we can keep track.

Your reviews should be thoughtful. The writer should be able to tell you read the story. Say what you like about the story. Was something funny? Did something touch you? Make you want to throat punch one of their characters? TELL THEM ABOUT IT! At least 50 words/3 sentences per review. ConCrit, as always, is opt-in only. Putting in your comment that you're from Reddit and/or fandom blind is also opt-in only. The author must say they're okay with it in their post.

It would be awesome if everyone could try to read at least one person who is new to them if possible.

Also important: if you enter the exchange, DO NOT delete your entry! You must complete the required reviews for the exchange. Please talk to the mods if something comes up and you have concerns about doing it in a timely manner. We're here to help, guys.

But above all, have fun and happy reviewing!

Monthly Shlong Exchange: November

UPDATE: CLOSED TO SUBMISSIONS

Note: there have been some issues with Reddit removing posts with lots of links. I'd recommend not adding more than 3 or 4 links in your post (this includes links to other people's Reddit profiles). Even though I do reinstate them, once Reddit decides your post is spam for too many links, Reddit will remove it again every time you edit.

Welcome to the November edition of our monthly shlong swap exchanges. Please read through all the information carefully as it differs from a regular review exchange.

What is a shlong? A shlong is a short long fic. The minimum length is 10k.

What is a shlong swap? You offer a short long fic or an arc of your long fic and agree to a swap based exchange with another user to read either the whole fic, an arc, or X numbers of words or chapters. The swap can include an agreement on the number of reviews to be left across the chapters read.

The timeline for this exchange is:

November 7th - Deadline to enter

November 10th - Deadline to finalise swaps

November 24th - Deadline to complete swaps

All deadlines are 11.59PM EST. Here is a Timezone Converter in case you need it.

Your entry should include all the usual information - fandom, rating, word count, link to the story, summary, applicable content warnings. There is a suggested maximum word count of 50k. Please bear in mind that you do have to read whatever you agree to before the deadline if you swap.

All participants must have their own entry as a reply to this post. Do not simply share a link to your fic in reply to someone offering a swap.

Your entry must also include data regarding your swaps and their status.

For example:

Swapped with:

flags_fiend - Completed

Riienmarja - 3 of 5 Chapters - In Progress

LoudSize7 - 4 Chapters - Pending

There is a limit of no more than three (3) incomplete swaps at a given time. However, if you complete a swap before the deadline to finalise swaps, you may make another swap, not to exceed three incomplete swaps at a given time.

Holidays Check-In

Heyo lovely community,

It's already November where I am. And not even 5 AM. Send well wishes to appease the writing gods, maybe I'll use this morning productively.

Are you celebrating anything these days? If so, what and how are you celebrating?

We don't have holidays these days where I am, but my job has devolved into a bit of chaos, since I work in an international team, and a lot of my coworkers are off for Diwali, Reformation Day, and similar. I'm working a different job temporarily to fill in for someone. It has been going... interestingly. Let's just say I'm glad the weekend is almost here 😂

Speaking of the weekend, do you guys have any plans? I intend to write that shlong I've been going on about to some of you. Actually I have two shlongs lined up, one fanfiction, one OG. Will start with the fanfiction because it'll be quicker.

Hope you have a nice day/morning/evening/night wherever you are on this thingy: 🌎🌏🌍

PS: I'm also listening to this song and feeling like a viking😂

Need a Beta for Star Wars KyloRenxReader Fic!

- Here is the summary I've been using:

"In the period of the Cold War before the First Order make their first strike, Kylo Ren has made finding his old master Luke Skywalker of paramount priority. He receives intelligence that somehow his whereabouts was passed to you, a Inner Core royal and socialite. This news comes as you are about to have a political marriage and achieve your life's crowning moment. You begin to have weird dreams and feel the anxiety of the Galaxy as it waits for the first blow to begin a war, all the while preparing for a life of more luxury. Thats when it all is changes and Kylo Ren kidnaps you and starts the long task of finding the secret buried in your mind."

- This fic started as a fun hobby because I just kept thinking about ideas at work and decided to write, but I'm dying to get feedback because I just have no idea where I need work and whats good or not. Essentially I might be writing garbage and not know it.

- Currently have some chapters published to ao3 but am considering rewriting them seeing as I haven't dropped the story yet, and have exciting ideas for how to end it. And after rereading some of it I think they might appreciate some feedback.

- Rating is M/E/!, essentially I have included some horror elements and will probably have sexual content, as of now the first chapters are a little under 40k, planning on a longer story most likely 100k-200k. This is not my first fan fic but my first serious one (everything else was more casual)

-Pretty lowstakes I just want input on plotlines, dialogue (if its crummy or not) and if the story is entertaining. Probably will use google docs but am open to anything else if needed.

-If you don't know anything about Star Wars or Kylo Ren I would still appreciate some help because I've been writing this as if someone without prior knowledge could get the gist of it.

-If your interested please reply or dm me :)

Bring Out Yer Dead

Tomorrow is All Hallows Eve, Ghouls and Boils!

Happy Halloween writers! I thought for this spooky season, we should raise the dead. Are you in a Dead Fandom? Or one so teensy tiny it might as well be? Did you make a post and celebrate the 6 hits you got? Are you shouting into the void about a fandom long forgotten?

Let’s call them up out of the grave!

You can resurrect up to two works and posts should contain the following: link, title, fandom, summary, word count, rating, number of fics reviewed, and any applicable warnings and/or context notes. As a bonus, tell us how many total fics are in your fandom, and give us your best elevator pitch to lure new unsuspecting victims, oops, I mean fans to your fandom

In return for this eldritch boon, you must also **review at least two works by two separate authors.** There's no minimum word count for a review, but they should be thoughtful and show that you've read the fic in question. Con-crit is opt-in only. Sort of by nature of this exchange, *everybody* is going to be coming in fandom blind and from Reddit, so there’s no need to say that in the review! Leaving a kudos is always appreciated as well!

The guts... Make sure your submissions include

Title/link

Fandom

Rating

Summary

Any warnings that may apply

Why it qualifies; (tell us how niche and micro your fandom is! Tell us how fics have slowed to a crawl! Give us your best college try to bring in some new blood to your tag!)

review counter (must review 2)

Deadline for posting is **November 4th 12 PM GMT **

Posts are now closed. Thank you to everyone who participated! You have one week to get your two reviews completed!

Deadline for reviewing is **November 11th 12 PM GMT**

Describe Your Favourite OC in One Sentence

It’s OC week in our -tober fest, so we of course wanna shine a spotlight on our OCs!

We have so many amazing OCs here. And we know it’ll be a challenge, but let’s see if you can describe your favourite OC in one sentence.

And if you’re like me - someone who thinks choosing a favourite OC is akin to choosing a favourite child - you can do more than one. You can even do one per fandom if you want.

You can be as funny or literal as you want. Just keep in mind our rules concerning NSFW and triggering content.

And go. ☺️
