Feel It All Challenge 
Members have been asking for this for a long time, and it is finally here: a new challenge from THF! And what better time to start than right in time for the second leg of the Feel It All tour? The theme for this one is simple:
Write a story based around 4 randomly paired phrases. Half of them will be taken from Kings of Suburbia lyrics, and half will be normal everyday items or ideas. For example, you might get a set like this:
hurts like love/into the daylight/blue lake/long wait
We are hoping to inspire writers to write from the themes of the album and transform them into something new. If you would like to enter, please read the details here!
We are so excited to see what you come up with and hope you all are excited too! Stories will start to be posted on September 13th, and voting for the top 3 stories will be held once they are all up. Get to it!

Changes! As you may have noticed, we've been going through some changes here on THF.
First, we're saying goodbye to Fyredancer on the staff. She's been a wonderful, supportive Admin since the site changed hands, but sometimes real life just has to take precedence. Tay, we will miss you so much, but we're super happy that you'll continue to host your TH fanfic on THF. Please leave some love for Fyredancer in comments!
Next, I'm so happy to announce two new additions to the THF staff! Please welcome Zarlina, who will be joining AshesPashes and MohanRocks in the Mod Squad. Also, a huge welcome to Ghostie, our new Admin. We're so happy to have you both on the staff!
Aliens, don't forget that this site works best when more people participate. Writing, reading, and especially reviewing makes this a place people love to be! Thank you guys so much for being here!

The Your Own Spin Challenge is now ON!
Just a week ago, we posted about our new challenge, The Your Own Spin Challenge. Prompts were submitted, collected, and compiled. Thank you for those! We got some really great prompts, but we could only choose five. I sent those prompts to the staff with no indicator as to who submitted which prompt, and we all voted. Our final five was the result of that vote.
So here we go! Are we ready to do this thing? Prompts and rules are found HERE! All members are welcome to play. Have fun, and we look forward to your submissions!

The Your Own Spin Challenge! I promised a happier post and I'm here to deliver.
Ages ago, the extraordinary Gaja emailed me with an idea for a writing challenge, and we think the time is right to get this thing going!
There are an incredible number of stories on THF, and after a while, you notice that some seem to have the same general theme, but are written so differently, they are still very different stories. So here's the idea: We put up 5 different prompts and you write a story for the one you choose.
If you don't write, you can still participate in the creative process. The incredibly creative and prolific writers and readers of THF have the opportunity to email to us the prompts from which we choose the 5 we'll ultimately use. The prompts should be just the idea, not specifying the characters to use, so the actual story could be any combination of characters the writer chooses.
For example (from a previous thfanfic prompt list): Tourbus stages of the 1000 Hotels tour. Everyone is going out to celebrate something but (character A) doesn't fancy it. He/she opts to stay on the bus alone. Not too late into the night, a tipsy (character B) comes stumbling back onto the bus and somehow they end up in (character A)'s bunk together, naked. Cutesy/tipsy (character B) and bewildered (character A) would be fun :) (Thanks to em_rose483 for the prompt!)
Email as many prompts as you'd like to thfiction@gmail.com by April 4. We'll pick the 5 prompts to use for the challenge, and we'll post them by April 6. Then you'll have until June 1 to write your story. They can be longer, very involved stories, or they can be as short as 2000 words. It's up to you!
Any questions? Leave us a comment and we'll get you an answer! Otherwise, BRING ON THE PROMPTS!

Before Submitting
First of all, thanks for being here! I know posting, reading and reviewing has slowed down, but TH fans are a tenacious bunch and we're not quitting yet, right? Now we just need to hear a release date from the band and hopefully we'll see an influx of new, excited fans.
Before that happens, though, I think we need a reminder post. We've had a lot of chapters/stories being submitted in which the author has improper paragraph spacing, incorrect dialogue punctuation, incorrect word usage or misspellings.
Please be sure you're reading through our Before Submitting page before you click submit. I'd especially like to direct you to the Dialogue page. We will no longer be validating chapters/stories with no punctuation in the dialogue, as this resource is here and written by our kind founders to help you.
Additionally, story warnings aren't just to help people find the kinds of stories they like to read, but also to warn them away from stories they don't want to or can't read. Some topics, especially when written well and graphically, are very triggering to some readers. Please do NOT spring Major Character Death on unsuspecting readers. No, published books often don't carry MCD warnings, but on this site, we request and require that the warning be added. We appreciate your cooperation!
Lastly, we'd really like to be able to provide more help in these areas, so we're working on putting together a new list of beta readers. That project is being headed up by our mod, AshesPashes. Look for more information coming soon.
Next news post will be fun stuff--anyone up for a new writing challenge? Let us know in the comments!

Introducing The Short Fic Fest and it's simple rules! There are many wonderful fests in this fandom, large and small, on tumblr and not. But so far, in this fandom, one area has remained untapped in the darkness.
The short fic.
In this fest, there are two levels that an author can write on - and one is harder than the other.
Level, the First: For the novices, the wordy, and the unrestrained, there’s the big one. The 500 worder. You have a whole five hundred words to play around with - to get your adventure down, the porn to climax, and the romance to the gratuitous kiss. And to rescue Gustav, too, if that is your fancy. Sounds like a lot, right? Wait until you get in there - it’s a closer fit than you might expect.
Level, the Second: For the old hands, the tough nuts, and the insane ones out there, you can upgrade to level two; the drabble. And this is the old, by the book version of the drabble; 100 words exactly. Not 101. Not 99. No doubling up so you do two in a row to get your story in. One hundred. Right on the nose.
But wait! Before you reach for your writer icons and comments of “I’m in!” there’s one tiny little thing we should mention...
There’s prompts.
That’s right.
You don’t get off so easy, dear writers. HERE is the post where you can drop prompts off - as many as you like, any character too! - and then each writer will pick one per drabble to write for.
Have fun!

Promoting Tokio Hotel Slash's 2014 Short Fic Fest
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...
A SHORT FIC FEST!
We’re offering a March fest for exactly that - short and sweet fic, just like a drabble. And that’s exactly what you’ll be writing, if you accept this mission: you can either write a "True Drabble", 100 words exactly, or a Short Fic, 500 words, if that’s more your thing.
It’s open for everybody - old hands at fic writing, people who just write loooooong fics, or those who are new to the whole fic writing business, you’re all welcome! We like everybody. Tumblr peeps, dreamwidth peeps, you’re welcome to join in, too!
The only thing you need is a livejournal account, to post your finished masterpiece, and to perhaps comment. But if the big bad livejournal scares you (we promise to try to make it play nicely) - mail the mod here and we’ll figure that shit out for you.
But what to write? Ah, well there’s the beauty of it. There’ll be a prompt post where you can drop off and pick up prompts to kick start your imagination regarding the boys!
Keep your eyes on the community right HERE and there’ll soon be posts with more info for anyone who would like to join in as a prompter, writer, or a reviewer!
