The summer break is nearly upon us, which means it’s time for this year’s Summer Slash: The Lucky Dip! For this fic challenge, you submit 5 words to us, we throw them all into the metaphorical hat, and each participant is assigned 5 different words at random on which to base a fic. As it’s a summer fic challenge, we’re asking you to include one word along a summer theme! The fics can stay as true to the prompts as possible (e.g. BANANA, ROSBERG, VENICE could be… Nico Rosberg eating a banana in Venice!) or you can play a little more fast and loose (e.g. Daniel Ricciardo on Venice Beach in LA, pining over Nico Rosberg and slipping on a banana peel). The story you choose is up to you!

The rules, expanded:

• Fic must be clearly based on minimum 3 out of the 5 words assigned (to meet this criteria, you can either do a fic incorporating all the words OR multiple fics based on individual words).
• Please try to include the actual words (or variations of them) that you were assigned within the fic!
• Must contain F1 pairings/people (AU fics are welcome!)
• The minimum word count should be 1000+ words (but if it’s a little under, it should be fine!)

Everything else is up to you! Write about your favourite pairings, scenarios, tropes, or write about something you’ve never had a chance to write before. Just follow these rules!

Prompts will be assigned once the sign-up period has ended and all the words have been collected.

sign ups open: Thursday 20th July (that’s today!)

sign ups close: Sunday 30th July (at the end of the Hungarian GP weekend)

assignments sent out: Monday 31st July

writing period: until Thursday 24th Aug (just before the Belgian GP)

posting starts: Tues 29th Aug
