AMNESTY WEEK #026 Challenges # 001-260 |
Amnesty Weeks are a chance to post any stories you've written that, for whatever reason, weren't submitted during that week's challenge. And if you can't get the entries you want in during this Amnesty, never fear! The next one will include challenges 001-270, so you'll never miss out. There's no voting for amnesty entries, and there's no limit on how many you can post, so long as each entry meets the usual community requirements (less than 1000 words, not NC-17, etc.) If, however, you manage to end up with 30 of the things you want to post, try to spread them out through the week for the sake of people's reading pages. These entries may also be crossposted and previewed anywhere you like, since there’s no voting to skew. At the end of this three-week window, a post will be made collecting all the links of the posted entries, which will also signal the end of the posting period, and a new regular challenge will go up. Entries are titled the same way as normal: [#] Story Title (Fandom) |
Amnesty posting ends Wednesday, June 4 at 9:00PM EST • Post your submission as a new entry using the template in the profile • Tag these entries as: amnesty 026, plus the challenge's theme tag • For questions about Amnesty Week entries, please ask them here |

Have you been looking for a series that combines modern sci-fi with mystic experiences and happens to have some of the best LGBTQ rep of the last decade?
Do you usually find yourself drawn to tropes where characters share emotions and physical sensations because they're bonded in some way?
Do you love great cinematography and practical effects and the craft of storytelling?
Boy do I have the perfect series for you! Sense8 is a series created by The Wachowski sisters and J. Michael Straczynski for Netflix where eight strangers around the globe find themselves connected -- first by a violent vision, then by their shared ability to connect with one another's thoughts and actions, and finally by the urgent need to find out what happened and why. Here's why you should totally give it a try.
Warning for mentions of suicide that happen to be central to the plot. I'm also really sorry for the amount of babbling you will see from now on.
