Week 13 signups: The Kdrama tropes Challenge!
Week 13 is upon us, and the NIF world has just expanded with NIF2. The NIF Drabble Challenge will of course, expand to fit the new universe and will accept all drabbles and works for NIF2: The Wind blows in Changlin.
This week, we are inspired by melodramatic tropes, or in my case, Kdrama Tropes! I’ve watched just too many a Kdrama to miss the wrist grabs, the truck of doom, the random amnesia, and the heartbreaking noble idiocy. This week, we have a host of Tropes to inspire you to write drabbles. We hope you will participate and enjoy it!
Come & Sign up right here –> http://bit.ly/2wNtlae
The rules are simple as follows:
The expected wordcount is 100-500 words
Please pick a random number between 1-18, and we will assign you a trope
Signups close by 4PM GMT,  Monday , 15th Jan 2018.
The deadline is 10PM GMT, Monday, 22nd Jan 2018, and please submit your works to the AO3 collection for week, here at NIF Drabble Challenge Week 13!
Looking forward to have you all join us! The week 12 appreciation post will be here soon!

This week, inspired by the release of Nirvana in Fire 2, the sequel, we will be doing a Post-canon challenge. We have three themes for this challenge, which you can adopt any one.
10, 20, 30 years later Grandchildren become Grandparents The wind has never stopped flowing in the halls of the Palace

If anyone wants to pinch hit for the NIF Winter Exchange, our friends @nif-exchange are looking for some help! :D
Looking for Pinch-Hitters!
NIF exchange creation period is just over halfway done!  We hope your creation is going smoothly! If you have any concerns, questions, need help, etc, please don’t hesitate to communicate with us! [email protected] 
We are starting to look for willing pinch-hitters! 
SIGN UP HERE
Until further notice, please assume the deadline for submitting works remains DECEMBER 10th even for pinch-hitters. But as that date approaches, we will negotiate submission deadlines with individual pinch-hitters based on when you get your assignment, since we want you to have a reasonable creation delay.
Signing up to be a pinch-hitter does NOT guarantee you will get an assignment. If you do get an assignment but you strongly feel like it’s a bad fit or that you won’t be able to deliver on time, you CAN refuse it. Life happens, we understand that! Zero Guilt policy! 
We immensely appreciate everyone’s continued support and participation. \0/ \0/ 
NOTE: If you are already a participant and said YES to being a pinch-hitter, we haven’t forgotten you! But as the creation period isn’t over, we feel that you deserve to have the same amount of time as anyone else to focus on your assigned gift. Therefore, we won’t ask you to pinch-hit unless you have already submitted your assigned gift. :D

Week 8 Appreciation Post!
prWeek 8 was indeed a lovely one, with quotes from famous people used in the show ‘Criminal Minds’. We had some lovely submissions, and one belated extra from Week 7! A BIG THANK YOU to all the lovely people who make every week better with their solid efforts.
Please send your love with a kudos or comment! <3
Ember to Flame, a short yet impactful drabble by the lovely  strangefen which talks about the silent power of Liyang, based on the Mexican Proverb, ‘The house does not rest on the ground, but upon a woman.’
She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing, the story of Jingxuan in the aftermath of Consort Yue’s passing, written by @orangememory, inspired by Honoré de Balzac’s saying, ‘The heart of a mother is a deep abyss, at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.’
A two-fer from the lovely  ancient_moonshine (paperfeathers)! For Week 8, she gives us an interesting take on canon in Ignite, with Jingyan as one of the Hua, set pre-series. It was based on the prompt, ‘Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.’
We also have her lovely Furtive, an extra for Week 7, showing some cute interactions between Consort Jing and Fei Liu (set in her New Spring series).
We welcome everyone, so any new writers please feel free to join us! Sign-ups for Week 10 will be out soon, so keep an eye out. :D :D
