We do have a fanfiction category you can post in and assign fandoms to it.

They are starting to really put together some interesting things. This came up on my feed today.

Nah... not quite this: more like this...

Sure. I plan on doing at least one story for both themes myself. And hopefully in different ways.

Your comment has been received. Active authors and polite members get more weight with their opinions, though. For anyone who is actually thinking of writing but wants to brainstorm ideas, try throwing a prompt into Grok, Gemini, Copilot, ChatGPT, or any of the other AIs out there. I used this one on Grok and ChaptGPT and it spit out a mountain of ideas. If you haven't used those tools before, they give unique replies to you based on your history with them. Since I use ChaptGPT to analyze data on site, I get a hell of a lot more detailed responses to things. So, I'll share the author note ChatGPT gave me on the Unspoken theme: "Horizons Theme"

I will leave Unspoken my true thoughts on this statement. Suffice it to say, the themes are deliberately open-ended so that creative authors can interpret the themes in new and interesting ways. I think everyone should push to new Horizons and see what they can come up with.

Be sure to let us know if you are planning on participating in our Event:
