Ficlet Fridays (?)

[alchemistdoctor]

Would anyone be interested in doing Ficlet Fridays as a weekly thing/Ao3 tag? Along the lines of Smut Sundays but without the requirement of smut. I think it might be a fun way to generate more content and community on here to start.

If you’d be interested can you leave a comment and “follow” this post for updates? We’ll discuss ways to tag/share fics, and what counts as a “ficlet” (in my mind anything from a single paragraph to ~10,000 is easily readable in one go, but I’m not sure that’s the fandom consensus).

Thanks!

I'm trying to get back into writing so I'm tentatively interested. on the other hand I cannot promise to produce anything.

I'd be interested in this! :) (though I'm really bad at consistency, idk if that would be a problem? I might do it sometimes and not other times?)

I'd totally be into that!

Basics

[alchemistdoctor]

Considering we've got some interest, I'm going to propose some basic rules, let me know if they work for you.

1) A 'ficlet' is going to be anything from 100-10,000 words, with a little wiggle room. I'm not going for picky, but also please don't tag novels.
2) There's no pressure to submit every Friday, but submitting around once a month is encouraged.
3) Fanartists can submit works! My thought behind this is that any art tagged "Ficlet Friday" is art that an artist is actively requesting ficlets for; the equivalent of "here, use my art as a prompt if you like". There's no obligation to use the art as the prompt for your fic, but I'd very much like to encourage artists to create with our tag too.
4) Please tag your art as "Ficlet Friday: Fandom" and then "Ficlet Friday: Ship" - two tags, both under the "Ficlet Friday" header, but allowing people to search by what they prefer.

Questions:
Does this still sound workable for everyone?
Would we like to put together a group/community for ficlets, or leave it to the tag?

Thank you all for responding!

It's Up!
