Discussion time: When I was in school, I was very much a "one story writer". Every now and then, I might switch to another story if the first one hit a block, but generally, I never wrote multiple things at the same time. After college, I continued very much in this same way, where I wouldn't even let myself think about writing something other than what my current project was (especially when it was exchange related and therefore time sensitive).

And then one day ~~I took an arrow to the knee,~~ I decided to write something besides my main project out of spite for myself and my arbitrary Highlander-esque "there can only be one" rules.

This did help relieve some of the stress of "I'm not writing AND I'm also mad at myself for it, so I'll not write even harder." It also created a new issue where I have so many stories started but relatively few of them actually finished.

Which is a very long-winded way to ask: what about y'all? Do you tend to stick to one story/project until it's finished? Do you hop from one to another depending on your mood/brain capacity/due date? If you have multiple stories running at once, is there an order that you follow for when one gets its turn? If you write one at a time, do you ever have times where other ideas try to muscle in on your time, and, if so, what do you do with them?

It's bingo time again. Let's have some fun with the following table:

The End	Market
Sad	Evidence

To complete the challenge, grab all the prompts and blackout the card. You can do single works or combine the four prompts in one work.
No one will blame you when you decide to do only one or two prompts, though.

Allowed are fics up to 500 words, small poems like haiku or similar, icons (100x100 px), and small graphics up to 500 px width x height. Please stay to the maximum, even if you decide to use all prompts in one work.

All fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, as are original work and real-person work.

Please tag your work with '2025' and any other relevant tags.

This challenge runs until March 31, at midnight in your time zone.

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

The UK Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of "woman" is defined solely by biological sex (Whilst also mentioning the protections are still in palce for trans people), crowed over as vindication by those who you never want to see crowing, and leaving trans people in vague limbo whilst Government bodies look to rework their policies.

Pope Francis died at 88, the day after Easter and the day after meeting US VP Vance... coincidence? A Pope who, more than any before, shifted the boundaries in terms of seeking out the excluded and the marginalised and caused uproar when he said things like "If someone who is gay is seeking God, who am I to judge?" and permitted priests to give a blessing to same-sex couples. Not a perfect man by any means, nor as radical as some had hoped, but in terms of the inertia he was working against, probably more progressive than any would have dared hope for ten years ago.

Star Wars Celebration happened in Japan this past weekend, with many new projects announced

A live colossal squid was caught on camera for the first time and is as beautiful as you'd have hoped

And Doctor Who gave us "Lux", which I won't spoil further but was certainly different, in a good way.

Hello, friends! We're here once again.

Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 4

Discussion time: Since it's still currently Monday here, I'll pretend that's the case for all of us. ~~Please humor me, I have so little else.~~ Monday's can be hard for getting writing time. For anyone working the typical officey/9-5 type job, it's the start of the new work week. For anyone in school, it's usually the start of their week, too. And for some poor fools, it's trash night! ~~It's me, I'm fools~~

BUT! New weeks mean new starts! So, yes, while it might mean a return to more rigid daily schedules, it might also mean that things are starting over. The week's only just begun, so we might not have hit the "cascading unfinished tasks" portion of the week that frequently overwhelms writing plans later in the week.

So how does Monday land for you? Are your Mondays usually more one extreme or the other? Or are they somewhere in the middle? Or maybe a secret third thing?

Hello! I have continued the annual tradition of dragging my feet on posting a schedule and, as a result, pushing everything just a little bit later than last year. But 2025 is here! Some dates may be tweaked slightly before signups begin:

Nominations: 23 April - 1 May

Signups: 3 May - 11 May

Assignments out by: 14 May

Mandatory check-in: 7-14 June

Default deadline: 14 June

Works due: 28 June

Works revealed: 19 July

Creators revealed: 28 July

I'm also announcing a few rule changes.

First, standalone comics of 5 pages or more will be allowed this year!

Second, partly to support the ability to request/offer comics for different character combinations, I will be allowing participants to request and offer the same fandom multiple times. You must still request 3 unique fandoms and offer 4 unique fandoms.

Third and finally, the use of AI to generate text or images is not allowed in Fandom5K.

Rules are still being finalized, but you can read the draft here. Not much else has changed since last year.
