Challenge #3

Pimp Your Favorite Communities, Fests or Challenges! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


Two small communities I want to rec because they've brought me much joy:

[community profile] poetry_fiction - This is one of the challenges I look forward to doing every year. Sometime in October, the mod picks a poet and posts a short bio and signups for the next year's challenge open. In the beginning of January, the mod sends everyone a short snippet of poetry and you have about a month to write a fic inspired by it. In July, there's a free-for-all challenge where the mod posts daily snippets that everyone can write to.

This year, the challenge is a bit different. The mod is doing a month-by-month retrospective of previous poets, starting with Anne Sexton, and there's a new poet (and the chance for a new snippet) every month until the new poet of the year is announced.

It's a low-stress challenge. While the posting period is only about two weeks, once the amnesty period opens, all previous missed challenges can post.

Also, if you don't like the snippet you've gotten, just ask and you'll get a new one.

I have to say that I've written some of my best works for this challenge. I seem to really find inspiration in random bits of poetry.

[community profile] homemade2homemade - 2019 was my first time doing this exchange and I had a total blast. It really speaks to the creator in me, the one who loves to make pretty things and give them away.

This comm matches geeky crafters of all kinds and from all countries (you can choose, however, not to be burdened with international shipping), based on your likes and desires. The comm is extremely well-run and the mods are always present and ready to answer questions. I am looking forward to the 2020 edition of this exchange and creating something special for someone I don't know.
