Happy Reading everyone!

I am bringing this activity that u/lampboy2 once did back! Think of how the characters you write would react to recent events in the real world and write a little scene. Or just say how they react. Upvote and comment on others!

Well, this one is simple: make some memes out of your fanfics! Wether they're about your process in general, or about a specific fic, put em in! Can be just text and a gif, or something more elaborate.

Tell us if its from a specific fic if you wish! And please comment on other's memes if you find them funny!

Wow... what an amazing final match of the World Cup. Congratulations to Spain on becoming the new world champions. 🇪🇸

For the past month, the entire world has been consumed by the world of "football" (I use quotations here because I am American, and to me it's still called soccer lol).

This world cup was filled with so many wonderful moments, that for this activity, I want you to describe your favorite world cup moment from the perspective of one your characters. What team do they support? What country are they from? (And if their from a fictional world is not set on Earth, what team would they support and why?) If you don't have a favorite moment, get creative and write one of your own!

All in all, have fun and share the love of football ⚽️ (*cough* soccer *cough* 🤣).

This is an excerpt activity that focuses on anything body related (from parts/bones (human or not), scars, tattoos, etc). Like usual, post one word and others will reply with an excerpt from their fic that relates to that word. Don’t forget to engage with others!

Halo! After weeks of incredible showcases, we've reached the final weekend of our Fandom Showcase~

Our last stream will be hosted by u/Fickle-One1111 showcasing Kakegurui at July 18th 11pm UTC / 6pm CDT.

We hope you'll join us as we wrap it up 🙌🏻

Hello everyone,

Just a gentle reminder about themed review exchanges (REs).

While you are always free to read whichever works interest you, we encourage participants to review the works that have been shared for that exchange whenever possible.

Themed exchanges are designed to highlight the specific fics that participants have chosen to share for that particular theme.

Reviewing those submissions helps ensure they receive the attention they were entered for, while also giving everyone the chance to discover new authors, fandoms, and stories they might not have found otherwise.

We ask that when participating in a themed exchange, you consider branching out and reviewing works from participants you have not had the chance to read before.

Spreading your lovely reviews around gives more authors the opportunity to receive feedback and connect with new readers.

Thank you for sharing the love across our sub. We appreciate y'all!

If you could talk to yourself from the past, what would be the top advice that you would give them? I am curious to see what everyone comes up with!

For me, I would say: Just start creating the story, and don't worry about who will like or not like it. The right people will find it, and what ultimately matters is that you enjoy your own creations.

CLOSED FOR ENTRIES

HOW IT WORKS: This is an r/FanfictionExchange event where participants post their AO3 (or FFN, etc.) profile with a description of the kinds of stories they write. Others then browse the profiles, pick a fic (one-shot or chapter) to read, and leave a review (leaving kudos would be nice too!)

ENTRY DEADLINE: Sunday, July 19th, 11:59 pm EDT (UTC-4)

REVIEW DEADLINE: Saturday, July 25th, 11:59 pm EDT (UTC-4)

Here’s a timezone converter. Reminders will be sent out about 48 hours before the deadline.

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

Post your profile link with a short summary of what readers can expect (fandoms, genres, ratings, etc.) Please spoiler any triggering or NSFW content.

Once you enter, you’ll need to read and review at least 4 one-shots/chapters from 4 different authors. Please keep track of your reviews at the end of your entry, like “Reviewed: 0/4“ or something similar. There’s no need to indicate which stories or authors you’ve reviewed.

As per rule 8, reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, and detailed, with a minimum of 50 words about the fic itself, clearly demonstrating you’ve read it.

Concrit (constructive criticism) and/or mentioning that you are “fandom blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only. Don’t include these in your reviews unless the author says you can.

Once you’ve reviewed a fic, reply to the author’s entry here to let them know, like “K&C” (kudos and commented) or something similar.

If you join, do not delete your entry. You must complete the required reviews as part of the exchange. If anything comes up and you’re concerned about meeting the deadline, please reach out to the mods for an extension.

PS. Only reply to an author’s entry when you’ve read their fic or if you have questions. Refrain from chit-chat, gifs, or images in these replies. We manually check everything to track completed reviews, and with the high number of entries, extra replies make it much harder for us to verify who has met the requirements.

If you want guidance on giving reviews, check out our Review Guidelines and Resources.

If you’re new to REs, see Joining Review Exchanges.

Happy reading and reviewing! 🤓✨

Welcome to the July edition of the constructive feedback swap! This exchange is to swap with fellow writers, to ask and answer specific questions about our writing. There's no theme to meet, everything is welcome!

If you’d like some suggestions about the kinds of questions you might ask, and/or how to provide constructive feedback, check out this great doc our lovely Elefeather made; with hints, tips and resources

Rules

1. Offer up a one shot or individual chapter you would like constructive feedback on (it doesn't need to be posted, but you do need to have a way to share it with your swap partner.)

2. In your submission state fandom, length, rating, any relevant warnings (please spoiler NSFW and potential triggers) and the questions you are looking to have answered about your work. There’s no maximum number of questions, however please consider the time it will take someone to review your work and answer them constructively.

3. Look through the thread for someone to swap with. Because of the kind of exchange this is, you don't have to pick something you’ve never commented on before. In fact, if you have already read it, you might find giving the feedback easier. If you offer a swap, the other person can decline for any reason, and they don't need to specify those reasons.

4. This is important! For all your swaps, agree upfront *how* the feedback will be provided.  This might be in an ao3 comment, by DM on reddit or discord, a shared Google doc created for the purpose, or another mutually agreed method.  

If you don't find a swap, then you may consider your obligations under this exchange fulfilled. There are no limits on the number of swaps you can make, however please consider the extra effort which will be required in order to complete your obligations.

Once a swap is agreed please edit your post to state who you are swapping with, and edit again once the constructive feedback has been provided to help us keep track.

For posted works, it would be nice to leave a kudos on the fic if you enjoyed it. A public comment, if you are not providing your feedback that way, is a courtesy rather than a requirement for this exchange. Once you provide the requested constructive feedback in the manner agreed, your obligations have been fulfilled.

You have until July 20th at 11.59pm CEST 📆 to enter and agree to swaps.  All constructive feedback should be completed by July 27th at 11.59pm CEST 📆

IT'S CONCRIT TIME!! Let's swap some fics and get some constructive feedback on our work!🚧🧰🏗️👷🏻‍♀️

It's been a while, so I thought it would be nice to do this again, and find out how your projects are moving along or if you've started anything new!

We all have our open projects, those new chapters or one-shots which aren't quite ready to release into the wild yet. So here is your space to yap about them and let us know what you're working on. Whether it's still at vibes stage, actively in production or coming soon, we want to hear about it.

This is also a space to discuss WIPs with other writers: chat about research, commiserate about editing woes, anything at all really. So come on in, pull up a chair and let us know what goodies you have in store for us.

(As an aside: please remember to spoiler anything nsfw or potentially triggering. Thank you!)

Today is the birthday of one of my favorite OCs, and that gave me the idea for this exchange! This time, the theme is Birthdays! This can be all manner of things: planning a birthday party, a birthday gift, even the birth of a baby. As long as your entries are on and/or about someone's birthday (canon or OC), they fit! Feel free to mention whose birthday it is as well!

Rules: You can submit up to three (3) entries. Entries can be either a one-shot or a chapter of a longer fic. In return, please review at least three (3) different stories by three (3) different authors, one from each.

Please submit your entries by 11:59 pm on July 19, 2026 Central Time.

Reviews are due by 11:59 pm on July 21, 2026 Central Time.

All reviews should be at least 50+ words and show that you read the fic! As per the rules, concrit, “from Reddit,” and fandom-blind are opt-in.

Please make sure you list the fandom, rating, word count, title + link, genre, warnings (in spoilers if needed), and anything else you think we should know, like a summary. Have fun!!!

Pokémon! The series that every fandom has a little crossover with!

And often times, the team build for the character tries to look into the choices and what it says about the character

soooo....

Make a Pokémon team for your characters, wether they are OC or canon! You can choose the mons here! and tell us why they'd pick them!

We all have that one character who's a little dubious to everyone else, but who we still love. Know someone like this? Tell us about it! Explain why you love them.

EDIT: CLOSED TO NEW ENTRIES! Happy reading and reviewing!

G'day, mates!

We love our characters and often shine a spotlight on our favourites in our stories. Today, the spotlight is on our beloved original characters. Our OCs. This is the OC RE.

This OC can be anybody. A friend. A love interest. A family member. Someone completely unrelated to the canon characters in your fandom. The only rule is the OC is the main focus in your story/chapter.

DEADLINE TO ENTER: July 14th, 6pm AEST

DEADLINE TO REVIEW: July 21st, 6pm AEST

Reminders will go out 48 hours before the deadline. Here's a time zone converter for anyone who needs it because your RE host is the sub's resident permanently exhausted pigeon from the Land Down Under.

You can enter up to three (3) stories/chapters containing your OCs. Your entry should include all the relevant info on your fic - link, fandom, title, rating, warnings (NSFW and triggering warnings must be spoilered), etc. In addition, I want you to include a bit of background on your OC. Who are they? What's their link to canon? What's their role in the story? Be as light or heavy on the spoilers as you like.

Since we can enter three fics, all participants will have to review three (3) separate authors. One story from each. Reviews should be 50 words (excluding quotes) and show you've engaged with the fic. Please make sure you include a review counter in your entry. Fandom blind, ConCrit and/or 'there from Reddit' are all opt-in only.

But above all, have fun and happy reading and reviewing!
