Greetings Grimmsters!
Admin Liza here to help kick off this hiatus with a bang…er, so to speak.
As any of you who’ve been following FYNB for a while probably know, fanfiction is my passion. If there’s ever a fic-centric thing of any kind on FYNB, I’m probably the one behind it, because there is nothing I love more than the idea of a massive group of people coming together around a single story and weaving their own mythologies out of it. It’s magical to me, seriously.
Ahem. Anyway, instead of a fic rec or liveblog every Friday this year of pre-existing fics, I thought it might be fun to do a series of fic weeks. And as always, I’d love to have your input and recommendations, so keep reading for the details!
How It Works
On the first Friday of every month, I will post a list of the topics for each week in that month. That way, you can choose ahead of time which weeks you’d like to participate in.
I’ll begin reblogging posts from the tumblr tag for week one starting at the end of week one. But if you don’t manage to get something in for week one, don’t worry! You have all month.
Note: Please make sure you tag appropriately for warnings and triggers on anything you add to the tag, whatever platform you choose to use. I understand that fanfiction is often used to explore a lot of difficult topics and themes, but I also want to make sure the Grimm fandom is a safe place for everyone.
Topic Submissions
I only have a few topics in mind thus far, so if anyone would like to contribute ideas for a topic, please feel free to send them to FYNB via the ask box.
Anonymous submissions are welcome, but if you would like to get credit for your idea, send it under your username and I’ll tag you in the post for that week!
Topic idea submissions are welcome as long as there are weeks in the hiatus that we don’t have a topic for.
Fic Submissions
Please do not submit your fics to our inbox! Post them on your favorite fic locale (AO3, FFN, LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, etc) and post a link to tumblr. You can also post the fic directly on tumblr as text.
Please tag all links/fic posts with “grimmsummerficathon2016” and “week 1,” “week 2,” etc. Make sure these two tags are among the first five tags on your post.
I will also be creating a collection on AO3 for anyone posting there! More about that as the start of the first week grows closer.
Questions? Concerns? Come on into the ask box, I got you!
