Our new challenge is:

CARD

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 Tuesday, August 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.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Posting streak aid

As mods, we are well aware of how difficult it is to keep up a posting streak, and we’ve decided to offer a little bit of help. If your streak is at least one year long, and you accidentally miss a round's deadline, you can contact the mods (via our contact post) for a single-round extension.

Requirements
- Your streak must be at least one year long before you qualify for a streak aid extension.
- You should contact the mods as soon as possible after the missed deadline.
- You must still post a work for the round that you missed, and that work must be posted before the end of the current round (when the extension is granted).
- To keep your streak going, you also have to post a work for the current round’s prompt during the round.
- If you use a streak aid extension, you can't apply for another one until at least a year has passed.


*****

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.)
