Apologies for the lack of a voting post last night, folks - RL happened and I've been inconveniently computerless for a couple days. Post will be up as soon as I can sort it out on a work computer!

It is once again mini-amnesty time! Toss your Dark Forest fills (and just for fun, let's say any fills for other #270-anything prompts) at the community until Wednesday at 9pm, or whenever after that your friendly neighborhood mod has a chance to get the new challenge up.

Prompt #216: Amnesty or Voting

2024-04-16T01:12:04Z

Posted by: fanweeklymod

Quick poll from your friendly neighborhood mod! This week, we technically have three fills, so we could run a voting round. However, one of them's mine (from my personal account) and I traditionally exempt my own fills from voting to keep it fair and anonymous. That would leave us with two fills, meaning an amnesty round until Wednesday when the new prompt goes up.

What's your preference? Would y'all rather have an amnesty round, or a slightly less-anonymous voting round? Let me know in the comments!

I'll leave this up until 10:30 US Eastern Time (about an hour and a half from now) and then make a judgment call after that based on feedback.

Early Amnesty Start

2023-11-14T03:23:16Z

Posted by: fanweeklymod

Hi all,

Since we only had two entries for Prompt #200 and the usual procedure is to put the rest of the week into an amnesty posting period anyway, we'll be starting the Amnesty 020 round a little bit early! Please weigh in here as to whether or not you'd like the fills for Prompt #200 to be posted separately in a roundup on Wednesday as usual, or whether you'd like them to be included with the Amnesty 020 roundup in two weeks. There will be participation banners for both of you either way - it's just a question of whether I post a separate roundup.

As always, thank you so much to all of our writers! Enjoy an extra-long amnesty.

Mod Update: Slight Amnesty Extension

Posted by: autobotscoutriella

Quick mod update: due to travel delays and changes, I will be on a plane at 9pm Eastern (hopefully!) and will not be available to post the Amnesty roundup until sometime around midnight. Please feel free to continue posting entries up until the roundup post goes up!

Prompt #137 Extension

2022-05-24T01:19:47Z

Hi all, hope your week's off to a great start! Since we don't have enough entries to effectively vote on this week, I'm extending the prompt #137 posting period through Wednesday, 5/23 at 9pm and will post a roundup then (per group consensus last time this came up). Have fun!

Mini Amnesty

2022-01-28T23:31:30Z

Posted by: fanweeklymod

Good evening, everyone! Per the results of this morning's post, we'll be holding a brief, five-day Amnesty round through February 2nd. All the usual Amnesty rules apply (see here for usual Amnesty protocols and prompts 001-120. Prompts 121-123 can be found through the tags page).

My apologies again for the forgotten challenge! Your regularly scheduled FandomWeekly will be back next week.

Admin Post: Oops!

2022-01-28T13:09:40Z

Posted by: autobotscoutriella

Hi all, it's your friendly neighborhood mod here (on her non-mod account). My sincerest apologies for the lack of results and a new challenge on Wednesday! I sat down on Wednesday, wrote up the new challenge, and somehow mentally registered that as "my job here is now done" and never actually got around to posting it. My bad.

I'll post the Challenge 123 results when I get home from work tonight in about ten hours (when I may, ironically, be a little bit snowed in). Would you guys prefer having the challenge posted as well and doing a slightly shorter round with posting Saturday-Tuesday and voting Tuesday night through Wednesday, or do you want a five-day Amnesty period with the new challenge starting next week on 2/2?

Voting/Amnesty Week

2021-06-08T01:15:58Z

Posted by: fanweeklymod

Quick moderator question for everyone, since we only have two entries eligible for voting this week and last time this came up we had a tie! Would everyone prefer:

-voting round as usual, with only two entries listed

OR

-Treat this as an amnesty week and allow people to continue posting fics through Wednesday evening, with a roundup post in place of a voting round?

Update or voting round will be posted later this evening, depending on responses!

Bannermaker Signups: May

2021-04-22T01:38:01Z

Posted by: fanweeklymod

First off, my sincerest apologies for falling behind on bannermaking the last couple of months. Life got intense, and unfortunately keeping up with banners fell by the wayside. I'm going to be working on catching up over the next few weeks, but if anyone would be interested in helping out with banners for past challenges, please let me know!

That being said, prompts have been written for the next month, so they are available for bannermakers if anyone is interested in signing up.

Challenge 091: 4/21-4/28
Challenge 092: 4/28-5/5
Challenge 093: 5/5-5/19
Challenge 094: 5/19-5/26
Challenge 095: 5/26-6/2

Please note that Challenge 093 will be a two-week challenge, since I have real-life commitments the week of the 10th that will keep me from posting on time.

Bannermaker guidelines below the cut, in case anyone wants to review those before signing up.

( guidelines )

If you are not able to make the banners for your week, please let me know as early as possible so I can find a backup option!

Also, as a reminder, ideas for prompts are always welcome and can be submitted here! Comments are screened, and any kind of suggestion is welcome.

Challenge 079: 12/23/20-1/6/21
Challenge 080: 1/6-1/13

Please note that Challenge 079 will be a two-week challenge, since I have holiday commitments those two weeks that are likely to cause issues with posting on time.
