Narnia Fic Challenge

Hi Folks!

I hope the writing is going well for everyone, and I just wanted to apologize for the silence on my end. Strangely, I seem to get ill every year around this time, and have had surgery for the past three years in the fall. This year I have a biopsy on Monday, and possible surgery again!

I wonder if the universe is trying to tell me to change the timing of the NFE. :D

In any case, that is why I haven't been around much. But I have updates!

First, the NFE 2018 Madness collection is open and you'll find it here:

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/NFE_Madness_2018

For Madness this year, as it's the 10th Anniversary of the NFE, you will be able to choose from all the prompts in all the years the NFE has been on AO3. To view the prompts, go to the NFE subcollections page here:

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Narnia_Fic_Exchange/collections

Click on the year you want to view, and in the left sidebar, click "Requests Summary" to see all the prompts.

There is one other part to NFE Madness this year: you must include the number "10" in your story in some way. Any way is fine! Be creative! Include ten talking Rabbits! Ten different meals prepared by dwarfs! Ten sentences of Narnia fic (based off the prompt you choose). It's all good.

Thank you to everyone who offered ideas for this Madness round!

So please, take part in NFE Madness this year. Invite a friend! Invite all your friends! Anyone who loves Narnia and wants to write a fic can participate.


Second, an updated schedule!

Due to a few things (AO3 problems with the assignments, delayed Madness opening, and some requests for extensions), we're giving you extra time to write. Here's the new schedule:

Main collection fics due: anytime before midnight on September 22nd
Prompts Revealed/Madness: September 6th - September 30th
Pinch-hit period: September 23rd - September 29th
Both collections opens: September 30th (You will have a one hour warning before the collections open)
Authors revealed: October 7th


Okay? I hope you're all excited to browse through the past years' prompts and pick ones that catch your eye! Please comment here with any questions, or email narniaficexchange@gmail.com

Thank you all for participating in the NFE!
