[#283 | First Impressions] Challenge Post
Dec. 10th, 2025 10:23 pm| Challenge 283: FIRST IMPRESSIONS |
Whether it’s a job interview, your first day at a new school, or an audience with royalty, first impressions can be important. But they aren’t always easy! Sometimes everything works out, and it’s love (or job offer) at first sight; other times, you trip on a shoelace you could have sworn wasn’t untied five minutes ago, or stub your toe and say a word you shouldn’t say in front of your boss’s boss’s boss, or a supervolcano erupts and you have to immediately cut the interview short to go suit up and save the world. What kind of first impressions do your characters make? Good ones? Bad ones? Memorable ones, for all the right or wrong reasons? Write a story about first impressions. If your submission features someone in a suit, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, December 15 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 283 – first impressions • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |

Challenge 500: Flood
Dec. 10th, 2025 05:24 pmOur new challenge is:
As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.
Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Saturday, December 20th. No sign-up required.
Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.
All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.
You can view stats for
fan_flashworks entries and search and filter them via the Community Report and Creator Report. See our FAQ post for more details.
In September, when we announced the new reports, we confirmed our plan to wait a couple of months and then remove the challenge tags from the comm. That time is drawing near.
This is a reminder that on January 1, 2026, the challenge tags will be going away.
Also, keep an eye out for the next
ffw_social post, which will go up in the next couple of days. If you haven't joined the
ffw_social comm, it's never too late to come and check it out. (Posts are locked, which means you have to join to see them.)
