Do you have a mountain of unfinished fics or art? Do you need motivation to finish that AU that all of your reviewers are begging you to update? WIP Week is here to help. Each day of WIP Week (Dates TBD) has a theme (such as Oldest WIP, Canon WIP, AU WIP, etc.) to help you update those fics and art pieces that have been sitting in your drafts folder for ages. WIP Week is open to all fandoms and anyone can participate. Check this blog for further updates.
This is such an awesome idea!!! Let’s spread the word and participate!
title is a literal description of the story (”5 times x did y”, “first kiss”, etc)
perfect formatting, title is evocative of the story’s main themes
song lyrics
3 feet long all lowercase (overlaps w/ song lyrics)
one word. only one.
title seemingly has nothing to do w/ the content of the story until it gets dropped during a high-tension dramatic scene 70k words in, making you feel like the world meant for you to be born in time to read it
7. “Of X and Y” where X and Y are seemingly random unrelated entities
