Name: An Alternate Timeline
Story: The Fulcrum
Colors: Nacarat #8: Antsafa (Malagasy): Inquiries about things of which one is fully cognizant beforehand, Light Black #4: Carry
Styles and Supplies: Panorama, Gift Wrap, Cartography, Brushes (July 13 2025: Contrite)

Rating: T
Warnings: Fantasy Drug (Ab)use, Discussion of slavery
Characters: Setsiana, Qhoroali, Cyaru (and an unnamed minor character with significant dialog)
In-Universe Date: 1912.2.1.3
Summary: Qhoroali takes Setsiana to a Sohanke timeline.
Notes: Gift wrap for Nyoacelya Lyuya. At some point I thought this segment might actually make the story pass the gender-reversed Bechdel test, but then the old man never wound up getting a name, and didn't wind up having a real conversation with Cyaru directly.

And here you find this week's playlist.

Short reminder:
You can post unlimited works, but the total weekly regular points are 15.
You don't have to use both prompts, but you can reach maximum points by using one prompt only.
The lucky color can bring some extra points when following some special rules (optional!)
The color is always connected with the given prompt (color 1 belongs to prompt 1 / color 2 belongs to prompt 2)
You can earn extra points once for each prompt.

Color blue = write a fic in first person or create three icons with a plain blue background
Color orange = write a crossover or create a graphic work based on two different fandoms
Color yellow = write a 'dialogue only' ficlet or create two 'text only' graphics bigger than an icon
Color white = write an poem (haiku is fine) or create two icons based on any RL character(s)
Color green = Joker: you will earn five extra points for free
Color red = Zonk: you won't earn any extra points for the connected prompt

Complete rules/points H E R E

If you want to participate in the team challenge (even if you didn't sign up, feel free to join as a joker at any time), go H E R E

Don't forget that you have three wildcards to swap a prompt for any from your prompt list. The lucky number remains unaffected!

Catch up
Some participants have missed posting last week. They are marked with 'catch up' in the list.
For this week your maximum points increase from 15 to 30.
You can use each lucky color twice to earn some extra points (Joker excluded!).

Hiatus List
Participants who have missed more than three weeks in a row will be moved to the hiatus list. Don't worry, this is only to keep the playlist easier to handle. You are more than welcome to jump back into the game at any time.

Background: Dreamwidth has a 1500-tag limit, and

fan_flashworks is constantly bumping up against it. So we have an ongoing tag management project to try to gain ourselves some elbow room. You might have seen our periodic posts about merging old single-use fandom tags. Unfortunately, we are coming to the end of the easily-merged fandom tags, and so need to find another way to reduce our tag use.

Today's topic: We mods have been talking about the challenge tags (c: amnesty, c: science, etc.) These tags label an entry as responding to a particular prompt (or being part of an amnesty round).

We're not sure if anyone's actually using these! So we wanted to check in with you all before deciding between A) removing them entirely, or B) leaving only the ones from the last 12 months (and only tagging amnesty posts with the amnesty tag). Option A) would make our mod lives easier, but if they are serving a purpose for some of you, we definitely want to take that into account when making our decision. :-)

If we remove the challenge tags, we will change the standard subject-line format for all rounds to "[challenge]: [fandom]: [medium]: [title]", ie, the same as the current format for amnesty rounds. Community members are welcome to go back and add the challenge to the subject lines of previous entries, too (though we know that for some of you, that would be a Herculean task!).

Please take a moment to vote in this poll.

Our new challenge is:

FACE

As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Sunday, July 20th. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

Also, keep an eye out for the next

ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the

ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)

Warnings: A/B/O, past child sexual abuse, mentioned sexual content, incest.

I'm basically a high school dropout, I apologise for inaccuracies – you can blame them on the nature of omegaverse.

Challenge 266:
A WALK IN THE PARK

What could be easier? It’s just a nice stroll through the park. A relaxing summer evening, a crisp fall morning, an afternoon with the kids…

But maybe it’s not quite that simple. Maybe the weather’s out to get your characters – a relaxing walk is interrupted by rain, snow, or lightning. Maybe the park has been overrun with wild geese, and now you’re facing a gauntlet of angry birds just to get to the picnic tables. Or maybe no matter how hard your characters try, getting an afternoon off from saving the world just isn’t happening.

So how does their walk in the park go? Do they get to enjoy it?

Write a story about a walk in the park.

BONUS GOAL: Birdwatching

If your submission features birds (of any species), it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, July 14 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 266 – a walk in the park
• If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here

Here are this week's votes tallied, and below the cut are our winners for Challenge #265 – Trickster!

Total Challenge Words Written: 3135

Title: In the Family

Summary: Asclepius's hands part carefully, and Apollo sees what he's holding: a brown songbird, feathers ruffled and spotted with blood, an arrow protruding from one wing.
