June Updates

Hi All,

HAPPY FRIDAY! We interupt this week's ATTF slot to let you know some of things we've got planned, but don't worry - one of them starts this weekend :)

THIS WEEKEND we're going to kick off a be_compromised Bingo Challenge.

NEXT WEEK sign ups will launch for an AU Exchange.

SUMMER will see the return of the Epic Summer Promptathon (starting around mid-late July)

FOLLOWED BY an exciting new Round Robin plan being cooked up, Halloween Trick or Treats, and Secret Santa sign ups!

ONGOING we welcome ideas and volunteers to host our weekly All The Things Fridays.

And if that isn't enough in the wider world wide web bidding is currently open on the Charity Hawktion until 22:00, UK time Saturday 20th June (currently British Summer Time, which is UTC +1) and sign ups are open for Marvel Big Bang (Author sign ups close 1 July; Artist sign ups close 1 October).

We'd also like to check if there's any interest for a virtual comm meet up, either as a text chat or a video chat. If that's something you'd like to take part in please let us know in the comments and we'll do some planning.

Thank you for all your ideas and feedback! If there's anything else that you'd be interested in doing or that you've spotted in the wider world that you think looks exiciting please let us know in the comments :)

This sounds very exciting and unsurprisingly, I'm all in favour of the virtual meetup.

SO MANY THINGS. I signed up for the MarvelBang for the first time in 4 years (where does the time go???) but you knew that already... :P So excited! With Alistra as co-author and Ink to do the art, how can we fail? \0/

Hope to have time to cook up something small for the comm events, too though. (And maybe finish last year's Halloween treats before the new ones come out? Oops.)

As for the virtual meet=up, count me in. Minus the video, though. I have Covid hair...

All this excitement!! Love this comm and the people in it. Hugs all around!!

Can't fail! *points to icon* Look at how organized we are! Bow to the binder!

Also nay to video, I forgot to say. Covid hair is an international thing.

Hi everyone! Count me in for the virtual meet-up. I’m fine with or without video.

My plan is to participate in all the exchanges and upcoming comm events. AU is certainly out of my comfort zone, but I’m willing to put myself out there. And prompt-a-thon is the most wonderful time of the year! ;)

So happy to be part of the best bar. Cheers y’all!

You could do it. (The AU, I mean.) I have faith in you. (And am willing to beta).

Also, count me in on the virtual meet up too!

I'm always like 'well, no, I haven't in fact finished any of those... but here's a finished fic which is a sequel to something else I haven't written yet so can't post, ta-da!'

I'd love a comm chat!!! I have nothing planned for next weekend lol.

The bingo challenge is a lot more chill than I was expecting so I'll def give it a try and I'm VERY excited for the AU exchange.

I am a fan of stress free fandom, so try to make everything as laid back fun as possible. Yay, come play :)
