Week 1 - Star Wars Flashmeme social post

[sholio]

This is a total experiment but I thought I'd try it -- halfway through each challenge period (give or take a bit), a socializing post patterned after the social posts at fan_flashworks, to a) remind people of this week's challenge, and b) provide a place to chat.

If you want help brainstorming, need to ask a canon question, or want to talk about future prompt ideas (I have a short list, but I'm entirely open to suggestions!), this is the place. Discussion is not limited to this week's prompt; anything generally related to the comm, Star Wars, or Star Wars fic is on topic.

Social posts are not locked, so keep that in mind. Anonymous commenting is on.

This week's prompt is Strange New World. Are you working on anything? Think you might try something before the end of the challenge period?

Any questions or comments on the comm so far?

Not related to this prompt, but I'm looking for a beta for a Lando-centric fic (partly set between episodes 6 and 7, partly post-7), if anyone's interested! 5k, mostly gen.

Comm looks great so far! :)

Hey there! I'm currently writing a Jessika/Rey fic for this challenge and wanted to see if any femslashers have been active in the TFA fandom yet. I know we don't have a ton to work with, but we're nothing if not tenacious.

*raises hand*

Currently just here to watch the TFA community blossom, but, as a femslash fan, I am interested in how that branch develops.

[pearwaldorf]

I know there's a few fics on AO3, and there are people who are definitely interested!

[dadcastellanos]

super excited for this! I gasped aloud when I saw the ad. XD I have 500+ words for a KR Returns Home sort've fic I've been kicking around for a few days, so I'm super stoked for that.

[retsuko]

I would very much like to read this. :)

[dadcastellanos]

it's about half done! I should have it before the end of the day if I focus up, haha.

[endeni]

Yay, so excited about this comm! I was planning on writing a sequel to my Kylo Ren/Luke Skywalker series of short ficlets (in my defense, it was all doreyg's fault LOL) and this week's prompt is perfect and just the kick I needed. ;)

I haven't written any femslash for this fandom yet, but I will read basically anything about Rey! (MY REY OF SUNSHINE <3)

[saiditallbefore]

Yesss :D This is exactly what I go to fanfic for.

[dadcastellanos]

same!!

[frith_in_thorns]

I love this ship :D

[sholio]

Thank you! :D

I could give it a whirl on beta. :D I love Lando, but I'm kind of new to the fandom (long-time viewer, first time actually being in the fandom, per se) so I'm not really up on all the ins and outs of canon. So it might be more of a SPAG beta than a canon beta. But if that's fine, I can PM you my email addy!

[sholio]

Oh yay! Write iiiiit! \o/

I have definitely seen fics around for that ship. Actually I just read this one a day or two ago, off a rec. :)

[sholio]

Yay! Good luck with it. :D

[sholio]

Hooray! Good luck with the fic. :D (The challenge runs through Friday, so there is still plenty of time ...)

I don't really care about extended canon like that, it's mostly a question of making sure the character voices aren't too far off and there aren't any gaping plotholes. I think that would work, thanks so much! :)

[fresh_brainss]

I absolutely love that fic...so damn cute! It had me smiling the whole time.

[endeni]

Thank you! <3
