Title: Self-deception

Fandom: Altered Carbon

Prompt and challenges: fan_flashworks challenge #2 prompt(s) « Prediction », « Genre », « Trapped »

Characters and relationships: OC

Length: 700 (words)

Content notes: onanism, transgenderism issues, implied suicide

Author notes: Altered Carbon describes a world (set in a distant future) where consciousness can be stored on carbon chips and thus transferred into a new body, a new « sleeve ». Curiously enough, the author doesn’t address transgenderism issues at all.

Thank you to everyone who participated! You're now free to post your entries to your journal or wherever else you'd like. If you're archiving on AO3, you can add your work to our fan_flashworks collection there.

New challenge coming right up!

Of course, you're always welcome to post multiple works to any challenge if you finish them before the challenge closes, but that isn't always possible. So dust off those unfinished works and half-formed ideas -- now is the time! And just a gentle reminder from our guidelines: Try not to post more than one fanwork a day. If you have five fanworks to complete for the amnesty, spacing them out might be a good idea.

Please include the challenge you are posting for in the subject line of your post (eg, Communication Challenge: Legend of Korra: Icons: Spirits).

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Saturday, September 1st. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom, media and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

MOD NOTE: NEW BADGES

We have a new badge post!

We also have NEW BADGES! Two new Posting Streak badges, a new Total Posted Works badge, The Doolittle skills badge, SBIGTTS: Food, and SBIGTTS: Crafts.

We have more badges in the pipeline, so keep an eye out for more announcements. Have fun!

We hope these badges will inspire you to create more work and different kinds of work, to take risks and to be productive. We encourage you to enter into the spirit of the badges as spurs to creativity and exploration and to produce new works to earn new badges.

Tracking your progress will be up to you. When you think you qualify for one or more of these badges, please let us know by contacting us here or by email at fanflashworks at gmail. We'll verify your eligibility and give you the go-ahead to claim the badge as your own.

Once you've earned a badge, you can post it wherever you like: in your userinfo, in posts on your journal or on another website. Go ahead and hotlink if you want! (See the bottom of this post for more detailed instructions if you need them!)

Thanks so much to ponderosa and hardboiledbaby (and storyfan and bghost) for suggesting this idea to us in the first place! We are always interested in your suggestions for adding to or improving these.

More detailed image-linking instructions:

Once you've been mod-approved to take a badge, here's what you do:

1. Right-click on the image of the badge you've earned. You should see something like "Copy Image URL" or "Copy Image Link". Choose that.
2. If you are posting the badge on Tumblr, choose to post a photo and then to "use URL". Paste in the link you copied above.
3. If you are putting the image in your LJ or DW userinfo or in a post on LJ or DW, copy the line below, pasting it where you want the image to appear:


<img src="IMAGE LINK GOES HERE" alt="NAME OF BADGE.">

(Make sure you change IMAGE LINK GOES HERE to the link you got in step
one, and NAME OF BADGE to the name of the badge, leaving the quotation
marks and periods in place. The alt text makes your badge visible to
people who use screenreaders or other tools for the visually
impaired.)

Title: Runs in the Family
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Rating: Teen
Length: ~1350 words
Content notes: unplanned pregnancy
Author notes: This is a bit of nonsense that happened with down and I were discussing a current fic of mine and if the 'family tradition' would continue.

Summary: By all rights, it could have been expected, but it was still surprising, nonetheless.
