Hi, and welcome to the fourth flash round of Be The First! This is a low-pressure challenge to write a fic, of any length, for a fandom that previously had none. That's it! If you want to take part, just reply to this post :)

This flash round works exactly the same as usual, with the exception of one thing: instead of having two months to write, you now only have two weeks. The deadline to submit your fic is at 23.59 GMT on the 17th of September, and the archive will go live at 00.01 GMT on the 19th of September.

The AO3 collection for this flash round is here, and I'll be putting up a fandom promo post in roughly a day.

Good luck to everyone who's challenging themselves with this! Write like the wind :Db

Signing up!
I keep missing the main rounds lately, because I always think I have ages to write, and then suddenly, time's up. Maybe this short time span will keep me on track. :D

I will, hopefully, be writing for either of these non-existent fandoms:
Lost Horizon - James Hilton
The Way to the Stars (1945)

Question as I think things over: would a fic in poetry/lyrics format be within the scope of the event?

I managed to finish my fic early, and may have jumped the gun because now I can't seem to add an existing work to the collection. (I have never posted a fic to a collection before, so forgive my ignorance!) If this disqualifies it, no big deal, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't overlooking some obvious feature.

Thank you so much! In that case what I may do is just add it to the collection early next week a couple days before the deadline :) appreciate your help!

Thank you for the encouragement! It's not going too badly thankfully, most of my problems are coming from not having a readily available wiki and bad memory TvT
