New Wicked fic community that accepts Wickedverse femslash as well as Wicked RPF femslash (from any production). Come over and check it out!

http://community.livejournal.com/wickedly_real

I'd like to introduce a two news fanfition festival communities; jossversefest - a fanfiction festival for all Whedon fandoms (Angel, Buffy, Dollhouse, Dr. Horrible, Firefly and Fray) and whoversefest - a fanfiction festival for all Whoverse fandoms (Dr. Who [classic and new], SJA and Torchwood).

Also, a one-stop fanficton community for all your fanfic needs; fanficonestop.

fic_variations is open again after a very long hiatus.

Sign ups for January 2010 can be found here.

The premise of the community is simple: writers submit a claim and are provided with two prompts to use in either 5-7 drabbles (100-500 words) or 3-5 ficlets (anything over 501 words) within an one month period.

Sign ups close on January 5th for the January round.

gen_drabble

This is a weekly drabble challenge community for gen fanfiction. You can have a relationship there, but it can not be a romantic one. There are many other communities available for romance :)

Come and write! Current prompt: window.

10iloveyou is a themed writing challenge community similar to all those other themed writing challenge communities.

What's so special? The difference is that you'll be writing ten stories about LOVE. There are tables of ten prompts each. Though most of the prompt tables are themed, you don't necessarily have to write to those themes. There are no time limits or deadlines and there's no waitlisting: more than one person can claim the same thing.

However, there are no RPF, RPS and NC-17 stories allowed. In case you would like to use these themes or in case you are not interested in "censorship" I suggest going there: fc_smorgasbord. :o)

I hope you come, enjoy and write!

Holiday debuggery

We know there were a few kinks with the holiday promotion. We've been working very hard to get them ironed out. If you have a paid/permanent account, keep on sending those coupons. Here's an update:

• If you were unable to send out multiple coupons at a time, please perform a hard refresh, and you should be good to go.
• If you redeemed a coupon to upgrade your account and the balance at checkout was $0 instead of $9.95 or $15, this means your upgrade did not go through (nor were you charged). We've straightened this out, so you can now apply your holiday coupon toward the purchase of an annual paid account.
• If you tried to redeem a holiday coupon and had trouble using a gift certificate to cover the balance of an annual paid account, we identified the root problem. If this happened to you, you can now use your holiday coupon together with your gift certificate.
• If the number of holiday coupons you have available suddenly goes up (instead of down), this might be due to recipients declining the coupons, at which point your pool of available coupons will be replenished and, therefore, increase.
• If you need assistance with holiday coupons or pretty much anything else (well, LiveJournal related), please open a support request and we'll be more than happy to help!

Tweaks

• There were some initial glitches displaying results on My Guests, but we've worked them out. We hope you'll check out who's been checking you out!
• Some of you reported formatting issues using the Rich Text Editor (i.e., line breaks were being removed incorrectly). We've implemented a fix! Thanks so much for your patience.

Give a little extra!

We're pleased to report that we've already sold over 100 virtual red ribbons in honor of National AIDS Awareness month. Remember, for each charitable vgift you purchase for $2.99, we'll donate 100 percent of gross proceeds to IAVI.org (the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative) to fund the development of an HIV vaccine. Once again, we thank you for your generosity.

Celebrate with holiday vGifts!

Stop by the Virtual Gift Shop and share some holiday magic with your LiveJournal friends.
