FK Recently: What You Guys Have Been Up To (8/01/17-8/31/17)

[brightknightie]

For the month of August, in my corners of social journaling, here are the Forever Knight items that I happened to see:

Fannish charity fundraisers

• harvey_fanaid is fundraising via fanwork creation/sponsorships, including auctions, buy-it-nows, and custom requests, through the end of September. (senmut's are the only offers I recognize so far.)
• RevelCon, an annual fan-run Houston zine/fic convention, is fundraising for ConvoyOfHope.

Ficathons, fests & communities that welcome FK

• trickortreatex, a Halloween exchange, has nominations through 9/09, sign-ups 9/11-18, due-date 10/24, and reveals on Halloween. FK is nominated.
• yuletide time has come again. Check out the Master Index Post or Fandoms Brainstorming.
• ladiesbingo, a challenge featuring relationships (all kinds) between women, runs September-March. (I've recognized chelseagirl, lightbird, senmut, and muccamukk among the sign-ups so far.)
• fffc, a weekly "flash fiction" community, is holding a special September event with daily (rather than weekly) prompts.
• picture_prompt_fun is a weekly picture-prompt fiction community.
• Recommendation communities recap: fanart_recs, het_reccers, gensplosion, recshelf, underheard, and fancake. (More FK-friendly rec forums? Let me know!)
