Sign-ups

Hello everyone! Welcome to Obscure Sorrows!

The multifandom challenge is simple. To sign up, just leave a reply stating a letter (see available letters at the end of this post), and I will assign you a random word starting with that letter and a link to the definition. These words come from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

Then, you must create a piece of fanfiction that somehow uses your word. It does not have to be the word itself (though I do ask that you put it in either the title, summary, or notes of the fanfic), but it must somehow have an example of it.

If you do not like or do not have any ideas for the word I have assigned you, please feel free to request another. However, I ask that you do so in the same thread you requested your first word, so as to avoid clutter. There is no limit as to how many times you can request a word.

You may also write multiple fanfics for multiple words, if you'd like.

Your fanfic(s) must be submitted to the AO3 collection before 11:59 p.m. PDT on the 28th of July. The collection will be made visible at 12:00 a.m. PDT on the 31st of July.

I would also like to add that you can sign-up during the entirety of the event. If you stumble upon this on the day before the deadline and you think that you can create your work in a day, by all means, go ahead. I typically respond quickly, so that shouldn't be much of a problem.

If there is anything I have yet to explain, or that you are unclear of, please check the FAQ. If the answer is not there, please reply to the FAQ with your comment, and I will answer and add it to the FAQ.

Available letters (underlined letters mean that there is only 1 word left):

A, D, K, L, M, N, S, T
