Thank you to everyone who played! Yay! You may now go ahead and re-post your entries at your own journal or wherever else you'd like. If you're archiving on AO3, you can add your work to our fan_flashworks collection there.

If you missed the deadline, please save your entry for the next amnesty round.

New challenge coming up soon.

Our new challenge is:

CUSTOMS

As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you and your preferred fandom and medium.

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 Monday, December 10th. 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.

Also, keep an eye out for the next ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the comm yet, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Remember, posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)
