damn we got 2022 tomorrow
Ohhh handy
This blog is an attempt to collate and collect all the monthly writing challenges posted here on tumblr - it is not an attempt to take credit for any of these challenges! Please follow the actual blogs of the challenges you're interested in participating in and check out their individual prompt challenge rules!!
There are many, many more writing prompts out there than these monthly challenges, if you're looking (daily prompts, weekly prompts, fandom specific challenges, etc.). This blog is for monthly prompts only, with prompts given for each day of the month (for now, unless there's a lot of interest in something else?).
If you know of a challenge that hasn't made it to this blog, please let me know, I'm happy to share it.

Love when Tumblr recommends me a post based on my likes and the post is just a picture of a cardboard box filled with water
Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.
Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.
I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅
Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.
something that I feel like is missing from fandom nowadays is the idea that you dont have to have a unified, chronologically/tonally consistent interpretation of your favorite work. your fics dont have to fit within the same version of canon, even if theyre all canon-compliant on their own. your headcanons can contradict each other. be a multishipper. write metas that take two totally different interpretations of the same plot point. write a character as a villain and then write them as the hero next time. write a character as a lesbian and then write them as straight next time! engage in hypotheticals and drop them when you get bored! make up the rules as you go!! have fun with it!!!
A demon simply called The Brother. It doesn't have siblings or any family, and it's ambiguous whether that creature itself is even male at all. It just keeps turning everything and everyone into broth.
due to lazard and tseng getting sick heidigger gets put in charge how does it go
Heidegger suggests Sephiroth should cut his hair, and this immediately radicalizes him.
*Sephiroth is at his desk tearing pages out of reports and folding them into origami. Genesis bursts through the door, wearing the standard issue First Class uniform*
Genesis: Can you believe this barbarism Heidegger has us wear? No customizations? My individuality? Erased! My freedom? Suppressed! My coat—
Sephiroth: Gone. Like my respect for authority.
*Sephiroth proudly presents a stack of paper cranes made with highly classified field reports*
Genesis: What in Minerva's name are you doing?
Sephiroth: Engineering dissent. Origami is art, and art is rebellion.
*He begins tying string to the ceiling fan blades, and attaching them to his paper cranes*
Genesis: ....
*Angeal walks in*
Angeal: Can you believe Heidegger cut the funding for the new training program? I swear to Gaia, that man is going to start a shitstorm here at SOLDIER.
*Sephiroth flips the fan to full power, sending a paper storm spiraling through the room, everyone has to duck to avoid being hit by paper cranes*
Angeal: THERE IT IS. THERE'S THE SHITSTORM.
Sephiroth: Shitstorms are first step to revolution.
Everyone who plays around with Tarot cards long enough winds up with a “bad” card that they love. I just barely persuaded my husband not to get the Ten of Swords tattooed on his body; traditionally, it shows a corpse with ten swords stuck in their body and means “utter ruin,” but he thought that if it took ten swords to kill you, then you must have put up a pretty good fight.
honestly this is the most badass ten of swords interpretation i've ever heard. i'm stealing this
I just think it would be really funny if Jay remembers nothing except for every single piece of lore about Fritz Donnegan and the Starfarer comics. He may suffer from amnesia, but not even the FSM can erase this man’s audhd hyperfixation on this space comic book series. Every agent and all of Ras’ team wish he could.
