LMFAO I Am Of The Former. I Love My Oneshots, I Love My Oneshots Series If Someone Has To Be Expanded

LMFAO I am of the former. I love my oneshots, I love my oneshots series if someone has to be expanded upon (for my own sanity), and multi chaps are so difficult? And for no reason?

ao3 writers are either *90% of works are short oneshots* or *physically incapable of writing a oneshot, everything must be expanded upon*

teen storm is just that meme of that kid saying "zeus strike me down if i'm lying" *thunder strikes and everyone yells* "didn't strike me tho!"

In light of the egregious actions carried out by the National Novel Writing Month organization, there has been a wide variety of different challenges created in order to keep the communal aspect of the challenge alive while distancing themselves from the official organization. This blog, at its most basic, is designed to be a hub in which various writing challenges are advertised so that the communal aspects of the writing community can continue in November and beyond. The spirit of Nanowrimo has long since expanded beyond the original group that began the challenge, and writers can (and should!) create their own spins on the idea.

With all of this in mind, I am proud to introduce the Writing Challenges Network!

However, this is not all that this could be. As it is the early days, I have set up a new discord, this tumblr, and a twitter page in the hopes of connecting writers to challenges throughout the year.

The writing community, as a whole, is welcoming and always wanting to lift each other up in reaching their goals. This network will hopefully be an avenue to provide those values to others and provide a place of connection. I would love anyone interested in fostering these values and are willing to brainstorm to please reach out! This is for the community, and thus should be shaped by and for all members of it.

I personally will be hosting quarterly writing challenges via another blog so that there are more challenges than just in November! If you are interested in the seasonal/quarterly challenge, the current @gothnowrimo will be happening in October and will have prompts, themes, and other fun posts to help get in the spooky writing spirit. The next one will be in February!

If you would like to submit a challenge or would like to connect, you can send an ask or connect to me in the discord community.

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read

and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you

like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors

What animal would Ponyboy shapeshift into? What animal should he shapeshift into? What animal fits Ponyboy?

Like, a Dog fits Darry, in my mind. And Sodapop is definitely a cat.

Outsiders Headcanon

Most of these are set in a modern au, but musical headcanons from someone who's never seen a musical but loves the sound tracks of em.

I have a strong headcanon that Ponyboy would be into musicals, not wanting to be in them, but definitely the songs and stories behind them.

Sodapop teases him slightly but he also loves the songs. Darry doesn't understand either of them, but I think that's more so because he's to busy and to tired to try have either explain it to him.

Steve teases Ponyboy about it nearly relentlessly before learning that Sodapop also loves the songs, and will often dance around his room listening to em. After learning that, he'll mix in Sodapop's favorite musical soundtracks to his work playlist (which I headcanon he loves rock music) so he can see Sodapop just visibly brighten up when one comes on.

Two-Bit doesn't really care for musical soundtracks but he won't ask anyone to change em if they come on. He even likes quiet a few of them, even if he doesn't like musicals.

Dally will make faces but won't say anything because Johnny also loves musicals and their soundtracks. Like, Johnny and Ponyboy have specific favorites and can and will sing them from memory. Entirely. And Ponyboy can sing Johnny's ultimate favorite from his favorite musical and vice versa. Dally makes fun of both of them but in the "I'm the only one that can make fun of this". He also has a favorite but refuses to tell anyone. Maybe Dally's favorite is Beetlejuice.

(mainly because op here has listened to very little musicals, mainly the outsiders music, one or two songs from heathers(?), and Beetlejuice, and EPIC).
