...Is it that time already

Summer is here! Where did the time go, eh? Us Mods are gathering once again as we crawl out from our hibernation. We're wiping the sleep from our eyes, well-rested and ready to plan this year's whumpfest!

Keep an eye out for graphic updates, a refreshed FAQ, and of course, your chance to pick your favorite tropes to be included in this year's list!

We hope your blorbos have had a relaxing summer, because Whumptober is returning soon!

Stay tuned x

Just found out that the people who moderate collections can see who a fic is posted by even if it is also in the anonymous collection. I have some anon fics in your Whumptober collections and I just wanted to make sure that you would never do something like reveal who wrote an anonymous fic, right?

We would never reveal the identities of people who have posted anonymously.

Besides, I wouldn't even know where to begin. As far as I can see from my end, anon authors in the collection still come up as anonymous.

[whumptober]

This is gonna sound really weird but I wanna continue with the Whumptober prompts because I started them and then got hit with a lot of work. Would it be okay to date back my works on ao3 even though I didn’t write them until now?

Our prompts are available to use whenever you like, even after the event ends. Feel free to backdate them too!

Happy New Year!! 😊

The 2025 Fanfic Reading Challenge

Welcome to another year of the Fanfic Reading Challenge (FRC)!

I won't bore you with the history of the challenge, this year, but I will welcome you to check out past posts that do explain some of it, as well as include a brief overview of what, exactly, this challenge is, though it does change year to year. (Essentially you read fics to complete goals and win bragging points and an artsy badge.)

This year is especially different, as I had the extreme pleasure of having @noxsoulmate as a partner in crime in keeping me hostage on track to completing this year's FRC. Another valued member of the mod team is @jandjsalmon and speaks for all of us if you need questions answered!

As for the challenge....

This is, indeed, a challenge. Of course.

First of all... you must obviously read fanfiction. As if you don't already!

You also need to download and make your own copy of the spreadsheet, which can be found here, as well as below in the important links section.

To participate in the challenge, you read fics that match the tasks in the challenge. An example of a task can be: "read a fic with a title containing the word purple in it." Should be easy! Of course, there are harder ones.

Which is why there are different modes of challenge to the FRC. These are as follows:

Participation (Complete 1 task)

Regular Mode (Complete 80 tasks)

Hard Mode (Complete 150 tasks)

Extreme Mode (Complete 220 tasks)

Complete (Complete 250 tasks)

The challenge lasts from January 1st, 2025, to December 31st, 2025.

There are badges that go with the modes completed, and even a secret 6th badge that will be fairly obvious if you look at the spreadsheet! Doesn't mean it'll be easy to complete though. *smirks* (Blame Noxy)

Most important of all: this challenge operates on the honour system. We don't check your work, or your reading logs (see below), so I mean, I guess if you want to be slippery with the rules, you do you, and that's on your conscience, but honestly it's so much fun to see how much you can get done by following the letter of the law/tasks! You can be slippery even with following the tasks fully. It's great fun. ;D

I think that's enough for an intro, really, maybe too much.

Important Links and Reading Logs/Trackers

As there is a component of the FRC that includes tracking numbers of words read, most of us use a reading log/tracker to keep count of how many fics we read, including data such as words, of course, chapters, month completed, ship, author, title, fandom, link to the fic, and such. It's a great place to mark what fics you want to read in the future as well!

This year we have FOUR trackers on offer, quite different from one another, so take a look, play around with them and check out their "intros", and choose according to what you think will work best for you!

Fic Tracking Sheets

Juulna's 2025 Reading Log

Noxy's 2025 Reading Log

2025 Jandy's Fic Tracker

Taru's Fic Tracker 2025

Discord

We have a blast on Discord. From general chatter to sharing pet pics to being there for each other during the tough times to forming lasting friendships and making friendships you’d never make in a ship- or fandom-specific Discord, to asking for help ‘rolling the dice’ (pick a number between 1-10!) to choose the next fic to read, to finding some of the really challenging task fills in fandoms people might not have ever read but are willing to try, or finding fandoms someone has never read and is very tentative about stepping out of their box, but they’re being 100% supported and know they don’t need to complete the fic for it to count for the task, stepping out of their comfort zone… we’ve formed a very odd group of, if not friends, then companions (but there are definite friendships that have formed!! Just ask the people who have started watching NHL and NFL together in our off topic channel!).

In any case, our Discord is not necessary, but it is a worthy and tactical element to completing many of the tasks of this challenge. 💙

And.... without further ado....!

The 2025 Fanfic Reading Challenge! (link)

There is an info/rules page as the first sheet on the spreadsheet that should fill in any further questions you have. It also has more contact info than just this page if you have any further questions and perhaps need a more immediate answer for your needs.

*Occasionally you will run into something that looks like an error, and it may in fact be one! Let us know if you see it. It's hard not to make a mistake on as large a spreadsheet as this.*

Please, first of all, have fun and just read fanfiction that you enjoy! I (Juulna) did that last year and didn't even come close to completing the entire challenge, and I still had a blast because I was enjoying what I was reading and rereading. Others took the challenge right to the completed end. Others forgot about it halfway through but still had fun, and some even went back and filled in the sheet for a really good showing! The challenge is what you make of it, what you want from it. So... just have fun. Read fic. Smile. Enjoy. :)

Second of all... well, we would love if you signal boost this post!!!!

Third of all, we do have our pinned post that includes a link to this page and that will include a link to our Discord and all our trackers as well, including past links for memento and informative purposes.

Thank you, and a blessed 2025 to all!

Tag your submissions with #12daysofchristmas2024 and/or mention this blog so that we will be notified to reblog your submissions here. (Also, it would be super cool if you gave this blog a follow!)

Submissions for the day must be posted before midnight YOUR time. We're not super hard-and-fast about this rule, but posting within time is very much appreciated!

Happy writing, and good luck 🍀

Trope Vote Results 2024

The Results Are In!

Hi all, remember the trope vote we did alll the way back in July? Well, now the event is coming to a close, we wanted to share some of the statistics!

So out of the 1484 responses to the 259 tropes:

The TOP 10 most voted for tropes were:

"I'm Fine.": 924 votes

Collapsing/Fainting/Passing Out: 903

Panic/Anxiety Attacks: 872 votes

Ignoring An Injury/Illness: 871 votes

Hidden Illness/Injury/Scar: 858 votes

Bleeding Through Bandages: 845 votes

Passing Out From Pain: 843 votes

Not Realizing They’re Injured: 814 votes

Emotional Angst: 789 votes

Nightmares 781 votes

And the LEAST 3 voted for were:

Radiation Poisoning: 157 votes

Sunburn: 149 votes

Necrosis: 131 votes

When we start to make the prompts list, we took inspiration from the most voted for, and from the least voted for. Then between us four mods, we chose our favourite tropes and added them to the mix before discussing as a team which lyrics/dialogue to assign each day etc.

We are very proud with how the prompts list has turned out, and we have been blown away with the positivity we have received - thank you all very much. It has been amazing to see what everyone has been making this month based on our prompt list!

Mods Yenn, Kitty, Vanne and Surro

[whumptober]

wowie, this is our first year participating (on time) and its been fun! still working through the prompts (we had a very late start lmao) but we're looking forward to going for next year's throat :D

I've seen a discord referenced a couple places. Is that open?

Welcome!! We’d love to see you next year! And the discord can be found here :)

[whumptober]

Thank you to our Fairies!

Hi everyone! We just wanted to say a big thank you to all of our Fairy Helpers this year!

Every year, Whumptober calls for a group of volunteers to take some time to reblog Tumblr posts to the @whumptober-archive throughout the month of October. This gives Tumblr creators a chance to have their works boosted and seen by the whump community, and this is something we would not be able to do without the help of our Fairies!

If any of your posts have been reblogged to the archive, you have our hardworking fairies to thank! So, everyone give a huge thanks to all of those who took time out of this past month to help us run the event smoothly and efficiently. Their help has been very much appreciated!

Thank you Fairy Helpers!

Mods Kitty, Surro, Yenn and Vanne
