Here we're playing fic (and original) shiritori, in which players go in timed (three or five day) turns writing and posting short fics that begin with the end of the previous fic!

The quick rules are a helpful reference, and the full rules and guidelines are an attempt to cover all the questions we've had over the years. All past rules posts are also available on the rules tag.

[admin post] [sticky entry] Admin Post: 📍 Rule amendment - emojis

This new rule addition came up recently. It was discussed with a small poll on the Discord, but we wanted to make sure that non-discord players also get a chance to both be notified as well as provide feedback if desired. Please comment on this post if so.

Emojis

If your last word is an emoji, that is allowed. However, there is flexibility in how it can be interpreted:

  • the next player may start with the exact same emoji
  • the next player may swap it for any other emoji ("wildcard"), similar to how pronouns may be interchanged, or verb tenses modified
  • the next player may choose to use the meaning of the emoji as a word instead, using their best judgement. For example, 👋 may be wave, waving, hello, goodbye. etc. and 😭 may be sob, sobbing, crying, sadness, etc. These substitutions may also be used if the last sentence contains an emoji, even if it isn't the last word.

After a period of time to allow for feedback, this addition will be added to the rules.

Ed, Al & Roy (Full Metal Alchemist); G; 100 words

This is all nonsense! I know the puns as-is wouldn't work in Amestrian? Amestrisan? (what's the in-canon language?) so it's either suspension of disbelief or our-world-au in an English-speaking or at least English-familiar context :D I really wasn't sure what fandom to use, but this one felt bickering-ish enough, and other fandoms that felt like they could have a similar energy definitely wouldn't work with the English puns (...although Hyouka does have some interesting references sometimes...and I bet Eustace and Jill from Narnia would bicker...oh well).

India Stoker (Stoker) & Morino Yoru (GOTH); PG; 204 words

A continuation from part I (includes prompt details), part II, part III, part IV, and part V.

A reflection on this story, now that it's finished: I didn't manage to use the prompt really at all! I think I'll need to try to write something from India's point of view instead, because Morino Yoru just doesn't really care enough to be that intense.

I'm finally posting this shortly after tagging [personal profile] lovesgaze on Discord!

India Stoker (Stoker) & Morino Yoru (GOTH); PG; 233 words

A continuation from part I (includes prompt details), part II, part III, and part IV, which continues in part VI (complete). This should have been posted shortly after January 28 but time again got away from me. The bolded line is where I was when I needed to pass my turn on to [personal profile] lovesgaze, so that’s this section’s “official” last line; I’m just tacking on the rest to have somewhere to put it.
