#projectcommunityfic

Hello it’s half 11 at night and I almost forgot about my own damn event I was supposed to post today and I’m also very anxious about this so haha here goes nothing

Many of us have seen, or even joined in with 'community fics'. These are the posts that start as something stand alone and people are inspired to add onto the story. The only issue is that sometimes people add some amazing additions, but their story never gets continued...

(And introducing my crappy MS Paint text addition because I wanted to make the post look a bit more exciting)

What I would love to do is exactly what we’ve done before, where a story starts with one person and people add on in reblogs, but this time including everyone, so here’s the idea

1) Everyone who wants to take part in the project will fill out this Google Form

https:// goo.gl/ forms/ z6yD3htCKSwae87t1 Without the spaces (since links don’t go into the tag) or alternatively, I’ll reblog this with a direct link

There’s only 5 simple questions, one of which is more of a poll to see if people want the story to branch off at certain points or be linear, and there’s also a sneak peak at the start of the story

2) The deadline is January 15th, which is in 2 weeks time, and the event itself will start on January 18th (leaving a couple of days in between for me to organise everything)

This gives you plenty of time for the word to get around and for you to put your name down

3) I will then arrange an order of people based on where they preferred to be placed and post the list on Tumblr

This will be posted on the evening of January 17th and the start of the story will be posted on the morning of January 18th (UK time). It can continue at your own pace after that. There’s no rush, so don’t worry if you’re a slow writer or need some time to process your ideas

4) Remember, you don't have to write paragraphs and paragraphs. Every addition is important

Don’t look at this and think ‘oh I’m not a good writer’ or ‘I won’t write enough’. This is about a collaborative effort to make a story. Your addition will subsequently change where the story will go because the next writer will be continuing from your ideas. ALSO, if you are an artist or a gif/photo editor, feel free to also add something extra to your part of the story

That’s it really until the deadline is hit. More information will be given when this mini community event begins. After this is over, I urge others to definitely take inspiration from this and plan their own writing events since my anxiety will probably get the better of me soon

Tagging the people who reblogged/showed an interest in the post I made in November (Sorry if I missed anyone. The post broke and I couldn’t see the other reblogs)

Welcome to the brand new ProjectCommunityFic tumblr blog! We’re glad to have you here!

This is the new hub for all the content surrounding Luci-morningstar’s #projectcommunityfic. Here you’ll find the latest update to the fic, fanart/writing, encouragement/feedback for the writers, and much more! 

Colleen (@aquaticember06) and I (@egopocalypse) are dedicated to helping other writers with this fic, so if you have any questions, feel free to send us an ask or DM! We’ll be happy to talk with you!

There’s also a couple of channels in the JSE Writing Community Discord server that are solely dedicated to the community fic, so feel free to join if you’re interested in chatting with other writers involved with the fic or just catching up on what you’ve missed! It’s a great place to not only share your own work, but to discover new writers as well!

Welcome to the community fic I hope we can build together If you’re not participating, be sure to check the reblogs to see the most recent addition

If possible, put your additions under a read more line as to not spam everyone when this is reblogged, and tag your reblog with #ProjectCommunityFic so those who aren’t interested can blacklist it

I hope this is a good start to the story (I may have written this back in November) and allows for some creative way for each participant to show off their story-telling

What is it?

Project Community Fic is a way of getting everyone together to write a story whilst making sure no one is left out. The will be a set order so everyone knows who is before and after them, and by the end of it, we will have a complete story written by everyone involved

But I'm not a good writer

You don't have to be 'good'. If you can write even a small paragraph that helps progress the story in the right direction, you can join. No need to worry about if English isn't your first language either because a few spelling/grammar errors won't effect your part of the story

I'm too anxious to join

So am I friend. I'm the one arranging the damn thing and my anxiety is skyrocketing, but it will be fun and when you can look back on the full story and see how your part effected it, you'll be glad you took the chance

I can't write serious stuff though

Although the story is likely to be angsty, there's always room for fun, goofy intermissions. If a character is trapped and struggling, you could write a flashback to a time when they were happy. There's always a way you can add as long as it progresses the story

How do I join?

I have reblogged this post with the link to the Google Form. It's only a few questions just so I have an idea of where to put you in the order as well as knowing the Tumblr URL you'll be adding your part from

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send an ask or dm me. Alternatively, you can search #ProjectCommunityFic on my blog to see all previous posts about it

If you want to join 72 others (including myself) in writing an ego related story, this is the place for you! Just fill out the Google form that I will link in a reblog immediately after posting this

The order for adding to the story will be posted on Thursday night and the actual event will begin Friday morning when I post the start

I give up. I honestly can’t cope anymore. I’m too nervous to push people if they don’t respond within a certain number of days. I’m stressed and think about it way too much, wondering if people are even paying attention anymore

So you know what? It’s up to you guys now. The order is there. You know your place in the list. It’s now down to you. If the story comes to a sudden halt, you guys can ask the next person if they’re still writing and you guys can help this continue

Thank you to the 79 people who have signed up to take part, making it an even 80 including myself. I am so excited to see the creativity of this community really shine through

The story will be branching off in the middle as voted on by you all
