FK Recently: What You Guys Have Been Up To (10/1/20-11/1/20)

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

Ficathons, fests & communities that welcome FK

  • [community profile] ushobwri, the "You Should Be Writing" community, has plans to support writers through NaNoWriMo, Yuletide, and all.
  • [community profile] what_ho_library is a new historical resources community, for writers of fic set in "England and America," 1900-1940. (I would presume they meant all of the UK, Canada, and Ireland, also, but "England and America" is what they wrote.)
  • [tumblr.com profile] goodintentionswipfest is a fest for "perpetually unfinished and discontinued" works.
  • [community profile] beyondthealgorithm is a fandom recommendations exchange. Sign-ups to November 7, due December 27.
  • [community profile] smallfandombang is a big bang challenge for small fandoms. Sign-ups to November 30.
  • [community profile] heroinebigbang is a 5K or 10K-word challenge focused on a female character. Sign-ups to December 31, due March 31.
  • [community profile] fixedthatforyou_fest, a prompt game for improving "what if"s, accepts fills through November 28.
  • [community profile] fancake's November round features "favorite fanworks." (Trapped on a desert island without internet? What do you wish you had printed out?)
  • Winter holiday events:
    • [community profile] mistletoe_exchange is a shippy exchange for kissing under the mistletoe. Sign-ups to November 2, due December 9, revealed December 21.
    • [community profile] yuletide_admin has some traffic about associated collections, challenges, and genres. Due December 18.
