FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge SEPTEMBER 1st - 30th, 2023

Welcome to YEAR 7 of our annual FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge, folks!

Last year we had 11,165 total entries! Which brings us to a total of 42,947 unique written entries over the last 6 years. That is just incredible! And something that I think that we should be super proud of as a creative fan community.

Whether you're new to the FFxivWrite community or a 6-year writing challenge veteran, if you'd like to give perfectionism in your creative writing process a swift kick in the butt, then this challenge was designed for you!

More info is below the cut~

Here’s the gist:

Runs from September 1st - 30th, 2023. During that timeframe:

Visit sea-wolf-coast-to-coast​ once a day at 12:00pm (noon) PDT for the prompt of the day. Convert to your timezone accordingly. All prompts will be one word or brief phrase that you can interpret however you please.

You have 24 hours to write something for that prompt.

Submit the link to your entry post via this Google Form: https://forms.gle/ixGUFKnYqKLz64Cw5

There are no length or skill requirements (short & sweet is fine!).

There will be no 24-hour deadlines for the first week, September 1st - 7th. The deadline will go into effect on September 8th at 11:59am PDT.

Makeup/extra credit days every Sunday.

Every entry posted within its 24-hour deadline will count toward a participation prize raffle at the end.

You can join any time with any prompt #! There’s no need for latecomers to start with prompt #1. Picking up with the most recent prompt is A OK.

If you’re an artist and you would like to volunteer to do a simple black & white illustration as a participation prize at the end of this challenge, you can volunteer here!

Reading the rules for FFXIV Write and I'm just reminded of how much fanfics, for whatever reason, is held at a much higher standard than fanart. Like no one cares if an artist spits out a rough sketch for warmups, but a rough fic is treated so much more poorly. Which I get, really, reading a fic is way more effort than glancing at a fanart so if you think it isn't worth the time you just spent, then of course you'd feel negatively. Still, imperfection in writing feels like it's so scrutinised compared to visual medium.

Maybe it's just my personal feeling bleeding out as an ESL writer with a bunch of grammatical mistakes, but this isn't a new sentiment either; and I'm one of the lucky ones who could, and did, weather those 'little criticisms' people threw my way. I wish people would be more encouraging to those imperfect fanfic writers because in the end we do this all for free and out of love 💖
