AFF Infinite Writers: Community activities!

To my friends who are Infinite writers, or anyone who sees this (add me if you can).

I was thinking about this the other day, and I really love and appreciate every Infinite writer here who writes fanfic. Passion and love for Infinite, and it makes me happy seeing so many stories here. I really want to start the year off with something really great for all Infinite writers and readers (old writers and new writers who have yet to even create a story. We are all waiting for you!) I have some ideas that can connect Infinite writers alike, as well help spreading more Infinite stories to the readers.

 

1. Secret Santa, without the Secret Santa. Infinite Writer's Writing Challenge: I think Secret Santa is an amazing idea, writing prompts of other users and making them into your own story, but why not have it all year round? Instead of having only a Secret Santa every December (Jade is awesome for starting this last year), let's have another one and simply call it the Infinite Writer's Writing Challenge. If you want to participate, you enter with your name and one sentence of any kind of one-shot plot you want. Then for one month (March most likely), people will have a full 31 days to write the one-shot for a random person and prompt they get. While that's going on, another person is writing your own story. After, all stories are posted during April.

It's Infinite Writing Secret Santa, except not just during Christmas. We can even have it themed, maybe one month is about friendship, one month is comedy, another month is angst, another month is school, etc. The possibilities are endless.

 

2. Infinite Writer Reading and Review: Another idea based on the concept of Secret Santa. Everyone who participates enters their username, and they will receive a random username. Then for one month (most likely March again), you go through the user's fanfics and write a great post and review about what your favorite story from the writer is. Then in April, all reviews and recommendations will be posted. It is a way for every writer to get reviewed and commented, as well as sharing what your favorite story by them is. 

 

Especially because I plan on retiring from chaptered fanfics by the end of 2015, I really want to make the best out of AFF and make memories with the people and website that have made me happy since 2013. Let me know what you think, or if you have anymore ideas! I think these ideas are great if all of us work together, so if you are interested in helping out with things like this in some way, let me know XD

I'll do the fic thing as long as you don't run it or we can collab through Nov-Dec because that's when I'll be doing Secret Santa again :)

Aaawww.. Both sound like a great idea!
Though I'm not sure if I can do the second one since I'm a very slow reader :p
