Contests

This May, take your stories beyond the stars! Join our "Stardust & Signals" writing challenge dedicated to cosmos and sci-fi, open to both fanfiction and original works. Whether you’re exploring distant galaxies, advanced technology, or the mysteries of space, there are no limits to where your imagination can go! Submissions are open throughout the entire month of May, with voting beginning on May 4th, because, naturally, May the 4th be with you!

Step back into the wizarding world with our new contest, “Letter from Hogwarts”! This fandom never runs out of stories to tell, whether set in the past, the present, the future, or an alternate reality. Ready your wands and quills, and bring your magic to life. Let us begin!

😻 Welcome to "The Cat Saw It!", a fanfiction challenge dedicated to crack ships and rare pairings. The stranger, the better. If you’ve always wanted to explore an unexpected dynamic, now is the time! The recipe for disaster is simple: a rare pairing + a cat that appears somewhere in the story... and THE CAT SAW IT! 🙀 Whether it’s lurking in the background, judging silently, or witnessing chaos unfold, the cat is part of the moment. Write the unexpected. Embrace the absurd!

Spring Into Stories is our March celebration of writing! A month-long challenge inspired by fresh starts, bold choices, and stories ready to grow. Open to all fandoms and crossovers. If you’re ready to combine some 🌷Spring Elements🌷 with a bold ✨Story Spark✨, step in and see what’s waiting for you!

The temperature is rising, the ice is melting, and it's time to start this challenge! Tension, chemistry, unresolved feelings, and everything that simmers beneath the surface — we are so up for tha! We are expecting some really HEATED rivalry during this challenge. If you know what we mean... 😉

Love is rarely simple. Sometimes it’s messy, confusing, poorly timed, or indistinguishable from obsession, loyalty, or something else entirely. How about exploring relationships that don’t fit neatly into a box? Romantic or not-so-romantic, mutual or one-sided, healthy or questionable — if it makes readers stop and wonder “what exactly is this?”, you’re doing it right!

Welcome to the “Naughty or Nice?” contest! This is a festive challenge where you choose your path: sweet or mischievous. Participants must write a story of at least 1,000 words, inspired by any prompt from either of the two themed lists: The Nice List — wholesome, uplifting, gentle ideas. The Naughty List — chaotic, mischievous, rule-breaking ideas. Your choice determines your reward: a Nice Gift or a Naughty Gift. Want both rewards? Write 2 works! The lists are below!

As the nights grow longer and the air turns colder, a whisper spreads through FicFan — the Masquerade of Shadows is about to begin! From November 20 to November 27, write a story of at least 700 words that includes one mystical creature (ANY! It’s your call!) and one cursed object from the list!
