Light Years - Fandom of Our Own Flash Fest

Welcome to Fandom of Our Own's flash fest: Light Years, where we transcend our own reality. Within this collection, you'll find a variety of prompts that you can interpret in any way you like. We have hopes that the end result will look like a collection of fics from an array of different fandoms.

As always, and if we haven't made it clear yet, this event is open to everyone and every fandom. We're welcoming all of you to get involved. We do ask that you join our Discord server, but it isn't mandatory to take part. We do, however, post updates and information on there that might not always make its way onto Tumblr.

Although the event has a 'sign-ups close' date, this only relates to whether you want to create a prompt within the collection. You're more than welcome to claim a prompt during the duration of this month and post it to be revealed with the rest. We must ask, though, that you only claim one prompt and that it's one prompt per person so there are no double-ups.

March Multi-Fandom Gift Exchange

There are only a few hours left to sign up for our first gift exchange! With many more to come, we hope to see you get involved now and begin the journey of writing for others and your fandom. Not to sound like a broken record if you've seen our original post, but here's a replay of important information:

This will be Fandom of Our Own's first-ever multi-fandom gift exchange, which we're so excited to bring to you! Fandom of Our Own is a Discord server that only recently started. It is dedicated to every fandom out there and creates a safe space for people to participate in challenges and events. Everyone is welcome to join our events, even if you aren't a part of our server, but we do ask/invite you to join it so you can explore the space and stay in the loop for more events! Here's a link, but if that doesn't work, feel free to reach out so we can get that sorted. 

This is a gift exchange for every and all fandoms that will run for the month of March. Usually, we would have sign-ups start the week before the 1st of every month, but since the Fandom of Our Own server was created on the 2nd of March, it'll run a little differently this month.

Timeline:

Sign-up Opens: 2/3/25 Sign-up Closes: 9/3/25 Assignments Due: 26/3/25 Pinch Hitters Assigned (If Needed): 27/3/25 Pinch Hitters Assignments Due: 31/3/25 Works Revealed: 1/4/25 Creators Revealed: 2/4/25

Due to this being a multi-fandom gift exchange, any fandom is welcome to be requested or offered in it, meaning you can put in as many requests as you want in the hopes that you will be gifted a fic from one of your favoured fandoms. However, when you get an assignment, you only have to write about one fandom, unless in some cases both a request and an offer for a crossover has been made.

Each story written for this gift exchange must have a minimum of 500 words, but there is no maximum, so you can write for as long as you wish.

Now, if this gift exchange has caught your attention, which I hope it has, you are more than welcome to go to the sign-up form and begin putting in your offers and requests!

Discord Server

Recently, in a spur-of-the-moment decision, I decided I wanted to create my very own Discord server that’s dedicated and open to different fandoms. Of course, many servers already do this, so I decided to take it one step further and create not only a safe space for writers, readers, and artists of different fandoms, but also a space where people could partake in multi-fandom events such as gift exchanges, flash fests, and bingos.

It’s still in the very early stages of development, so let me know if you find any problems with it or have any ideas to help improve the server, but I would love to invite you all to be a part of it.

Currently, we have a multi-fandom gift exchange open for the month of March, which I would love to see as many fandoms as possible get involved with. But soon, I’d also like to start a small flash fest up with different prompts that all correspond to the same theme.

I’m hoping this is a start to what will hopefully be a blossoming sever one day; One that you can all be a part of. Fandom of Our Own waits for you.
