Our new challenge is:

INFLUENCES

The idea of this challenge is that you use an existing work as a template. So, for example, you might make fanart using the poses from an existing painting or photograph, but transposing your fandom characters into it. Or take a scene from a book and use it as a template for a fanfic ("Character A is caught red-handed in the middle of a crime; they make a quip. Character B shoots to miss." etc). Or recreate a vid, but in a different fandom (crediting the original, of course).

Alternatively, as always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

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 Wednesday, 10th July. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom 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 ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)
