Three weeks after creating the AO3 tag for my new fandom, the inaugural fic is sitting proudly at six hits and one kudo. I’ll take it. ☺️

Write it and they will come. Very, very slowly. 😂

It's time to 🔎discover🔎 authors you haven’t read before! 😄

For this exchange, you’re required to read and review 3 fics from 3 different authors. At least 2 of those must be for authors who are new to you.

The third review can be either another new-to-you author or a long-time favorite.

If you’ve already read something by everyone participating, please review authors whose work you’ve read the least. Feel free to review more than the requirement if you want. Leaving a kudos is super nice too!

You may submit up to 3 links and include: title + link, fandom, rating, summary, word count, and any necessary warnings (kindly spoiler triggering and/or NSFW content), etc.

Or simply link your profile or a collection and share what you write :)

As always, your reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed, and a minimum of 50 words about the fic itself. The author should be able to tell you actually read their story.

Constructive feedback and mentions of being “fandom-blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only – please don’t include any of these unless the author explicitly says you can.

You should leave your reviews on the works itself (AO3, FFN, or other fanfic sites), then reply to the author’s entry here to let them know.

Please don’t forget to include your review counter under your own entry, like “Reviewed: 0/3” or something similar.

And do not delete your entry once you’ve joined. If you need an extension or have any concerns, contact us via modmail.

Entry Deadline: Friday, October 16th, 11:59pm EST

Review Deadline: Sunday, October 18th, 11:59pm EST

Take a chance and see where it leads 👀

If you’re new and need guidance on how to participate in exchanges, please read and follow our sub rules and guides: How to Join Review Exchanges and Review Guidelines & Resources, which cover our review expectations along with examples.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing! 🎉

EDIT: This exchange is now closed to new entries.

Review Deadline: Sunday, October 18, 9pm PST

Reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed, and a minimum of 200 words about the fic itself, demonstrating that you have actually read the story.

If your character is in a relationship, what song would they play for their Girlfriend/Wife/Boyfriend/Husband to show how much they love them?

Look, I honestly don't know how else to describe this, but....

Is there a character or ship that you feel you pretty much write propaganda for? As in, maybe they're not as beloved in the main fandom, maybe they don't have such a big role, but still, you make sure to show them extra love. To show others how good they are

And hopefully, to get them more fans!

Miiight apply to fandoms too

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED!

Usually, we write our fanfics like we write a book. But what about when we don't? And that's what I want to celebrate here.

Now what do I mean by "unconventional format"? Well, like I mentioned, most fanfics are written in the same way a typical book is written, so an unconventional format is when a fanfic is not written like that. It could be written like a script, a series of letters, diary/journal entries, or other epistolary forms, group chats. Anything that isn't the typical literary/"book" format counts.

For this exchange, you can submit up to two (2) fics featuring an unconventional format of some sorts. Make sure you have the title, fandom, rating, content and trigger warnings, if needed, as well as how the fic is formatted (is it a script? a series of journal entries? etc.). And in turn you have to review two (2) fics by two (2) different authors.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Wednesday, October 14th, 11:59 PM EST

REVIEW DEADLINE: Saturday, October 17th, 11:59 PM EST

Happy reviewing, everyone!

As title! If you could give your younger self one piece of fanfiction-related advice, what would it be? Tell us about it!

The second -tober exchange is here! It's time for Fluff-tober!

Bring out your tooth-rotting fluff and the sweetness you prepared for this fest.

As a reminder, you can enter up to 3 fics. Your fics must be in our collection and should have been written for this event (prompts were optional) See this post for more details.

I am working on a Trektober fic and I need a beta for tenses as well as details.

Fandom: Star Trek Timelines

Rating: G

Word Count: 987

State: Completed.

Notes: Any way to put in chess moves would be helpful.

Summary: Lt. La'an and Lt. Worf have a very aggressive game of chess and started arguing which captain is better.

Authors can have really wild imaginations, and sometimes, our imaginations can take us to dark places. And sometimes, it can take us to REALLY dark places. So it's got me wondering, how deep into the darkness has everyone's minds gone? What's the darkest fic that people have written, published or not?

EDIT: CLOSED TO NEW ENTRIES! Happy reading and reviewing!

G'day, mates!

Happy Friday! We have a fresh batch of profiles ready to consume in this week's edition of the Long Deadline Profile Exchange!

What's the Long Deadline Profile Exchange?

This is a subreddit event where everyone posts their AO3 (or FFN, etc.) profile with some information about the sorts of stories they write. Then, participants look through the available profiles, and read and leave comments on stories (one-shots or a chapter of a longer fic) by authors who catch their fancy. Leaving a kudos would be nice too!

DEADLINE FOR ENTRY is Monday October 12th 3pm EST (GMT+10)

DEADLINE FOR REVIEWS is Sunday October 18th 3pm AEST (GMT+10)

Here is a time zone converter if anyone needs it - especially since this permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under is in a part of Australia that doesn't observe daylight savings. (Pigeon me is also going, 'Ooh, bread!')

The Rules

Post your profile link with a short summary of the kinds of stories one might find there (fandom, genre, ratings, etc.). Please spoiler anything triggering or NSFW.

Once you enter, you will have to review at least 4 stories/chapters from 4 different profiles (one from each).

Please include in your submission a counter such as "Reviewed 0/4" so we can keep track of the number of reviews you've done. There's no need to also note which stories/authors you've reviewed in your entry.

After you've left a comment, reply to their post on here to let them know. For anyone new, 'K&C' in a reply stands for 'Kudos and Comment'.

Your reviews should be thoughtful. The writer should be able to tell that you read the story. Say what you like about the story. Did something crack you up? Were you brought to tears? Did you have a favourite part? TELL THEM ABOUT IT! At least 50 words per review. ConCrit, stating you are "fandom blind" and/or "from Reddit" are opt-in only.

Please only reply to an individual entry when you've read their fic or if you want to ask a question. Also, please refrain from adding GIFs and images to replies as they are not relevant to whether you've reviewed a fic. We're happy that you're excited about reading, but unfortunately these make it hard for users (and mods!) to navigate the thread.

If possible, it would be awesome if everyone read at least one person who is new to them.

If you enter the exchange, please do not delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews for the exchange. Please talk to the mods if something comes up and you have concerns about doing something in a timely manner.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!

We all have our open projects, those new chapters or one-shots which aren't quite ready to release into the wild yet. So here is your space to yap about them and let us know what you're working on. Whether it's still at vibes stage, actively in production or coming soon, we want to hear about it.

This is also a space to discuss WIPs with other writers: chat about research, ask for input or feedback, commiserate about editing woes, anything at all really. So come on in, pull up a chair and let us know what goodies you have in store for us.

(As an aside: please remember to spoiler anything nsfw or potentially triggering. Thank you!)

UPDATED TIMELINE:

Entries due by October 10, 10pm EST

Reviews due by October 14, 10pm EST

ENTRIES ARE CLOSED

It’s that time of year! Whether it’s straightforward horror, cosmic horror, horror comedy, a psychological thriller, an eerie mystery, or something in between or adjacent… Let’s sink our teeth into it.

Review at least two different submissions by at least two different authors. You can submit up to three one-shots or chapters of a longer work. Include your review count in your submission comment (e.g. 0/2 reviews).

Since this theme can include heavy subject matter, please censor any graphic details from summaries with the "spoiler" feature.

Your reviews should be thoughtful and show you have thoroughly read the submission, minimum 50 words is a good starting point. Concrit and “from Reddit” mentions are opt-in only. Leaving kudos is not required, but is encouraged if you enjoy what you read.

I think we've done this before for song lyrics, so here's something similar: song titles! Just comment the title(s) of a song (and the artist, if you wish), and respond with excerpts to song titles posted by other people. For example, if someone posted Faith Hill's "This Kiss," you could reply with a scene about a kiss. If you reply to "Behind These Hazel Eyes" by Kelly Clarkson, the excerpt could be about a breakup. Also, the excerpt doesn't have to be about what's going on in the song. "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette could be replied to with an excerpt of someone following their heart, but also a doctor literally listening to someone's heart! "December 1963" doesn't have to be about two people meeting each other and dancing; it can be a scene that literally takes place in December (not necessarily 1963). Most of all, just have fun!

~ 🚫 REVIEW DEADLINE HAS PASSED 🚫 ~

In the spirit (haha get it?) of Halloween, this exchange is for fics that showcase at least 1 non-human character. If you character is a human with unnatural abilities (super hero or wizards, for example) that's also acceptable.

In return, please leave a review on at least 3 other chapters or one-shots by different authors. Leaving a kudo as a first-time reader would be nice too. Then, after you have left a review, reply to their post here to let them know.

Your reviews should be thoughtful and show you have read the chapter/story. "Con-crit" "fandom-blind" and "from reddit" are opt in only. DO NOT include these in your review unless the author says you can. 

Deadline for entries: Fri October 9th - 9 pm US Pacific PDT (UTC-0:700)

Deadline for reviews: Mon October 12th - 9 pm US Pacific PDT (UTC-0:700)

Anything else a potential beta should know before reaching out: I am writing this for an October Fluff Exchange, so there is a deadline.

In honor of me finishing my 75-chapter longfic, this one's for the completed works! In this exchange, each entry should be the last chapter of an already-finished, multichapter story. It doesn't have to be a huge story; as long as it has more than one chapter, and you submit the last chapter, it qualifies.

To enter, you may submit up to three (3) links, and in return, you must read and review three (3) ending chapters by different authors.

Please include in your entry: Title/Link, Fandom, Rating, Word Count, Summary, Warnings (use spoiler for NSFW or triggering content), and a Review Counter
