Hi lovely folks!

I learned that earlier in the week, it was Ocean Day 🌊 in Japan! And since this previous week had International Moon Day 🌕 , what a delightful reason to host an RE! Let's celebrate our cosmos, our seas, and all within them!

For this RE, I'd say the requirements to enter are very loose, and I aim to make it as inclusive as possible. Of course, anything about the literal ocean or moon. But anything figurative works great, too! Have characters with aquatic or cosmic names? Great!

But also, let's extend that further. Rivers eventually flow into the sea, for example. All bodies of water are connected in some way (even if indirectly, like through the water cycle), so they're totally fine to enter!

Love the stars? Perfect! They occupy the same space, and might very well have their own moons! The more, the merrier.

For this RE, you may submit up to three (3) relevant one-shots, chapters or any combination thereof. In return, you must review the submissions of at least three (3) different authors. Please include links, fandom, rating, and warnings, making sure to add spoiler tags to potentially triggering content.

Deadline for entries: Monday July 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST

Deadline for reviews: Thursday July 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST

As always, your reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed and at least 50 words. The author should be able to tell you actually read their story.

Concrit and mentions of being “fandom-blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only -- please don’t include any of these unless the author explicitly says you can. And please remember to be kind!

When you’ve reviewed a fic, reply to the author’s entry to let them know.

Please make sure to include a counter at the end of your entry. (Beginning with 0/3, and update as you read and review, to help us keep track of your progress.)

Please have fun! And happy reading and reviewing! Let's give these cosmic and aquatic fics some more love!❤️

Bored to tears, so here's a game we can play.

Post a GIF, other people post exerpts fitting it, upvote the ones you like, bada-bing-bada-boom, everyone's happy.

Spoiler NSFW content and put warnings for said content.

What the title says~

Rule is that the twist has to land within 2 sentences. You can use your own fandom, characters, an original story, or come up with something on the spot :)

Have fun and feel free to engage with others! Just note to use spoiler text for NSFW or triggering content.

It's July, and — for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, at least — that means summer! How are your characters spending summer? Are they going to the beach, hiking, something else? Write a quick snippet (up to ~350 words) about what your characters are doing!

Alternatively, if it's not summer for you and/or your characters, write about they're doing in July (maybe sledding and drinking hot cocoa, just one example) regardless of the climate!

Hi everyone. I've got a fun challenge for you all. If your character (OC or Canon) was a bender from the world of Avatar the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra, which one of the four elements do you think they would bend? Water, Earth, Fire or Air?

Do you sometimes feel like you're wearing a mask? This exchange is about pretending to be something / someone you're not. The mask can be literal or figurative, as long as your character(s) is hiding their true self.

Submit up to two (2) fics and in turn review two (2) fics by two (2) different authors. Remember to keep your reviews thoughtful and a minimum of 50 words, and that “from Reddit”, fandom blind, and concrit are opt-in, so respect everyone’s wishes please.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Friday, July 24th, 11:59 (AM) UTC

REVIEW DEADLINE: Wednesday: July 29th, 11:59 (AM) UTC

Sometimes, things can get dark. Real dark. And in those moments, you just have to flick on the light switch and look on the brighter side of things. And that’s what I want to do for this exchange here.

For this exchange, submit up to three (3) fics, omeshot or chapters of fics, that are fluffy and lighthearted, and in turn review two (2) fics by two (2) different authors.

Happy Reading everyone!

This is an excerpt activity that focuses on anything body related (from parts/bones (human or not), scars, tattoos, etc). Like usual, post one word and others will reply with an excerpt from their fic that relates to that word. Don’t forget to engage with others!

Well, this one is simple: make some memes out of your fanfics! Wether they're about your process in general, or about a specific fic, put em in! Can be just text and a gif, or something more elaborate.

Tell us if its from a specific fic if you wish! And please comment on other's memes if you find them funny!

Hi hi, thank you so much to everyone who has been participating in hosting quests and helping keep our sub's activity going :)

It's been fun seeing everyone take part and climb the leaderboard~

Here are the current Top Tyler Durdens (as of June 30, 2026):

Note: Rankings are determined by quest totals. For tied quest totals, placement goes to whoever reached that number first based on the quest completion date.

Happy questing!

I am bringing this activity that u/lampboy2 once did back! Think of how the characters you write would react to recent events in the real world and write a little scene. Or just say how they react. Upvote and comment on others!

Wow... what an amazing final match of the World Cup. Congratulations to Spain on becoming the new world champions. 🇪🇸

For the past month, the entire world has been consumed by the world of "football" (I use quotations here because I am American, and to me it's still called soccer lol).

This world cup was filled with so many wonderful moments, that for this activity, I want you to describe your favorite world cup moment from the perspective of one your characters. What team do they support? What country are they from? (And if their from a fictional world is not set on Earth, what team would they support and why?) If you don't have a favorite moment, get creative and write one of your own!

All in all, have fun and share the love of football ⚽️ (*cough* soccer *cough* 🤣).

What better way to celebrate my birthday than with a steamy, juicy, and scorching HOT smut exchange?! 🥳🎂🍆💦🔥❤️‍🔥🌶️🥳

Anything smutty is welcome: from the fluffiest and most heartwarming, emotional vanilla sex to the most hard(heh!)core, kinkiest stuff you've ever written. And, of course, please remember to respect others - if in doubt, refer to sub-rule #12 “Safe Space”, don’t like don’t read, and KINKTOMATO. We're all here for a good and happy time! 💜

The rules are simple: post a link to one or two fics or chapters with some smutty goodness, and review at least two works from other participants. But, feel free to read and review as many as you want.

You can post up to two fics or chapters. Please include fandom, word count, rating, a short summary, and potential warnings in your entry.

Once you enter, you must review at least two fics, from two different authors. Please make the reviews thoughtful and substantial, and don’t forget to leave a kudos if you enjoyed the story!

Deadline for entries: Sunday, July 19th, 11 pm CET

Deadline for completed reviews: Wednesday, July 22nd, 11 pm CET

Mentions of 'Reddit', 'Review Exchange', 'Fandom Blind', and of course, concrit are opt-in only.

As you complete the reviews, please respond to the comments of others to indicate that you have read theirs, and add the number of reviewed fics to your post (e.g. “reviewed 0/2” or something similar).

Enjoy and have fun! 🌶️🌶️🌶️

If you could talk to yourself from the past, what would be the top advice that you would give them? I am curious to see what everyone comes up with!

For me, I would say: Just start creating the story, and don't worry about who will like or not like it. The right people will find it, and what ultimately matters is that you enjoy your own creations.

Hello everyone,

Just a gentle reminder about themed review exchanges (REs).

While you are always free to read whichever works interest you, we encourage participants to review the works that have been shared for that exchange whenever possible.

Themed exchanges are designed to highlight the specific fics that participants have chosen to share for that particular theme.

Reviewing those submissions helps ensure they receive the attention they were entered for, while also giving everyone the chance to discover new authors, fandoms, and stories they might not have found otherwise.

We ask that when participating in a themed exchange, you consider branching out and reviewing works from participants you have not had the chance to read before.

Spreading your lovely reviews around gives more authors the opportunity to receive feedback and connect with new readers.

Thank you for sharing the love across our sub. We appreciate y'all!
