Wordplay 6.0 Schedule

Author Sign-Ups Open - Wednesday, July 27th

First Fics Post - Wednesday, August 24th

Final Fics Post - Wednesday, September 21st

Wordplay 6.0 Basic Info

All participants must be at least 18 years old when the first prompt posts.

This fest is open to all pairings/groupings that include a current or former member of One Direction.

Every fic must include or be inspired by that week's prompt.

There are no word count restrictions or other qualifiers outside of the previous points. The fics can have any rating, gender, identity, relationship or no, etc that you so desire.

There will be no content moderation. Authors are required to use any and all appropriate tags for the content of their fics.

Prompts will be assigned weekly for five weeks total and all participants will have one week to write their fic. More details regarding the posting and schedule will be available come late July or early August.

This is not an anonymous fest, feel free to share snippets of your fics as you write!

Fic posts for the previous five years of Wordplay are being reblogged through the summer to get everyone excited for this coming year's fest! It's been fun to remember all the amazing fic that has already been a part of Wordplay, and I hope it's been inspirational for those considering participating too.

Let me know if you have any questions!

1D Wordplay Fic Challenge - 2022 Edition

About the 1D Wordplay Fic Challenge

The Wordplay Fic Challenge is a challenge that runs for five weeks. Every week there is a single randomly generated word that acts as the prompt for that week's fics. Those who would like to participate in the challenge then have to do their best to write a fic based on that word in a week's time before then getting the prompt for the following week.

This is meant to be a low-stakes and fun challenge to get your creative juices flowing and help get those words out quickly in a way that is different from other similar challenges that attempt to do the same thing (such as NaNoWriMo) by allowing you to create five shorter works instead of one larger project. It is also a fun way to see how everyone interprets the prompts differently giving us a group of incredibly diverse fics all written for the same prompt.

Details

As stated above, the 1D Wordplay Fic Challenge lasts for five weeks. The words used as the prompts are assigned via a random word generator and posted to the @wordplayfics blog weekly. Everyone choosing to participate that week will have one week to write a fic inspired by that word. This year, the Prompts will be given on Wednesday mornings (Eastern Time) with the fics for that prompt posting the following Wednesday. Each Wednesday morning (August 17, August 24, August 31, September 7, and September 14), the new prompt will be assigned and that week’s fics will post a few of hours later. Authors can begin their work on the next week's fics as soon as the prompt is posted and they are ready to do so.

Those interested in participating are not required to take part in all five weeks. It is preferred that all who sign-up have the intent of participating in at least three weeks, but all five would be wonderful. Life happens and creativity doesn't always come about when you would like it to, which is fine. This is meant to be fun and as relaxed as a challenge involving this kind of fast turn around can be.

Rules

All participants must be 18 or older. Please respect this rule.

There are no word count limits or other rules regarding content, though all fics must include a member of One Direction as a main character. 

The only requirements for the fics themselves are:

They are written within a week’s time and posted to the appropriate collection before that week's fics are revealed

The assigned word prompt is clearly used as inspiration for the fic  

Tentative Schedule (Dates are subject to change):

Sign-ups open: July 27, 2022 Sign-ups close: August 16, 2022 First Prompt Posted: August 17, 2022 First Round’s Fics Posted: August 24, 2022

Posting Details

Below is all of the information regarding the details for posting your fics to the collection(s) and what information I am asking you include in AO3 when you post. I will update this post every week as I get the new collection set up for each prompt, but there will also be a link to the collection in the bio of the blog where the prompts are listed for each week, so that will likely be the easiest way to find it. 

The Basics:

Add your fic to the appropriate collection (details below) by 1 pm EDT on the respective Wednesday

Please make a fic post for your fics and tag @wordplayfics  

There will be a masterpost updated weekly with links to the newly published collection

Each week's collections will be able to be found here: Week 1: Scramble Week 2: Particular Week 3: Swing Week 4: Describe Week 5: Check - Posting 21 September

Please be sure your fic is in the collection before 1pm EDT each Wednesday. 

There will be a countdown linked in each post with that week’s prompt because timezones can be hard. If your fic is not already in the collection when I go to publish the fics, then they won’t be approved to be in the collection. You may still post your fic and link it to the challenge–I will even reblog your fic post to the challenge page–but the point of this challenge is to write a fic in a week’s time. I don’t want to give any one person more or less time than anyone else, thus the deadline of 1 pm and not allowing late fics into the collection. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know!

Also remember: you aren’t required to participate every week, but please do your best to participate in at least three of the five weeks this challenge is active.

Once fics are posted, it is recommended you make a fic post. Be sure to tag @wordplayfics in the fic post so it can be reblogged here. (I also recommend you link to your fic post at the end of your fic in AO3. If you don’t know how to do this, please reach out and I will be happy to help you.)

It would be preferred if the fic posts are scheduled to post within an hour of the fics going live so they don't have to be searched for every week and it also helps lower the possibility of fic posts falling between the cracks and getting missed.

Questions? Concerns? Please let me know and I’ll get back with you as soon as I can.

If you’d like to see what resulted from the Wordplay Fic Challenge in previous years, you can find all the fics in the Wordplay collection on AO3 as well as a breakdown of the weekly prompts and the resulting fics in the Wordplay Masterpost.
