FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge SEPTEMBER 1st - 30th, 2022

Welcome to YEAR 6 of our annual FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge, folks!

Last year we had 10,390 total entries! Which brings us to a total of 31,556 unique written entries over the last 5 years. That is just incredible! And something that I think that we should be super proud of as a creative fan community.

Once again, a quick thanks to you all for your patience with me last year as I was slow to communicate on a lot of things. I was working full-time, traveling, and very pregnant with my first kiddo - who came 3 weeks early, before I had a chance to wrap up all of the FFxivWrite2021 details. The very belated recap post can be found here if you missed it, and all winners have been contacted.

Now, without further ado, let’s get into how this challenge works!

Here’s the gist:

Runs from September 1st - 30th, 2022. During that timeframe:

Visit sea-wolf-coast-to-coast​ once a day at 12:00pm (noon) PDT for the prompt of the day. Convert to your timezone accordingly. All prompts will be one word or brief phrase that you can interpret however you please.

You have 24 hours to write something for that prompt.

Submit the link to your entry post via this Google Form: https://forms.gle/SxFpwkKPLqnUwAYD9

There are no length or skill requirements (short & sweet is fine!).

There will be no 24-hour deadlines for the first week, September 1st - 7th.

Makeup/extra credit days every Sunday.

Every entry posted within its 24-hour deadline will count toward a participation prize raffle at the end.

You can join any time with any prompt #! There’s no need for latecomers to start with prompt #1. Picking up with the most recent prompt is A OK.

If you’re an artist and you would like to volunteer to do a simple black & white illustration as a participation prize at the end of this challenge, you can volunteer here!

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.

Dark am I, yet lovely, daughter of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. Do not look at me as I am dark, as I am darkened by your sun.

Isn't that stellar Uriel?озо Isn't that sun of my dome?

A more formal stats & winner post is coming later. In the meantime, keep an eye out for a message from your artist. They’ll be reaching out to you via the contact method that you specified. They might send you a friend request!

Winners have until 10/31 to respond to their volunteer artist or they’ll forfeit their prize and we’ll roll for a new winner to replace them.
