Famous Last Words Challenge Update
Hey everyone!

All submissions for our "Famous Last Words Challenge" are now in. We received around 25 submissions for this challenge, so thank you to everyone who participated!

We will be posting the submissions starting Monday. The submissions will be up for about a week or so and then voting will begin. Because of member concern, this round the stories will be posted randomly and not in any order. We'll try to give all of the stories enough time to be read so the voting is fair.

Thanks again for your participation!

Okay, OFFICIAL WorkSafe Layout!
Hey again!

Our members weren't that happy with the work layout we put up, so I've just made a new one. It's very inconspicuous, so browsing at work will be a breeze. Please forgive the ads, but they pay the bills. ;)

The layout is called "worksafe" so please, use it if you wish! I hope everyone's happy with it. :) I think it's a good one.

Validated Authors, etc
Hey everyone :)

Just a little change to the site. We've added a section under the Main Menu with information about how to become a THF Validated author. Please note the change. :)

Have a good week!

Schrei Box
Recently there's been some shady activity in our Member Lounge Schrei Box. I won't go into it, but I want to reinforce some of our long-time Schrei Box rules.

  • You must register with your site username. If you don't have a member account, then you really have no business being in our Member Lounge.


  • Do not impersonate any celebrities in the Schrei Box. I thought this was obvious, but apparently not. None of the members of Tokio Hotel frequent our fanfic site, and will not be chatting in the Schrei Box. Know this.


  • Be courteous and polite, to fellow members and your admin staff. I think this one is self explanatory. Our Schrei Box can be removed at any time, so please, let's all keep the Schrei Box on the site by using it correctly.


Anyone who fails to follow these simple rules will lose their Schrei Box privileges.

New Featured Author, Featured Fic, Etc!
HEEEEEYYYYYYYYY

:) How's everyone doing? Just a bump and nudge to let you all know there's a new featured author, and a new featured fic.

We've been a little quiet as of late, and you guys have been pretty quiet, too. Have any ideas for the site? Do you like the way things are going? Are you all having a good summer?

Hope you all have a good weekend!

THF Official Challenge #2: Famous Last Words!
Hey everyone!

We've just set up the second official THF challenge, and we're really excited about this one! We're calling it The Famous Last Words challenge, because, well, this challenge is ALL about the last line of the story. ;) The last line is...

Drumroll please...

He turned to his band mates, a weary smile on his face, and said, "Well, it could be worse - at least we still have our dignity... and our pants."

Each submission MUST end with this sentence. :) Your story can be any category, any genre, any pairing - ANYTHING! Take it any direction you want, as long as you end with this sentence.

For more details, please visit the Official THF Challenge page. We really hope you participate! We were overwhelmingly pleased with the turnout of Challenge #1, so let's make this one even better!

Submissions must be between 1000 and 7000 words.

Thanks for reading and good luck - you're all awesome. :)

Last Day of THF Challenges and NEW Voting Dates
Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay in posting the Friday challenge fics. We're about to post them now.

Because of some member concern, and the late hour in which we're posting the last round of stories, we've decided to begin voting on Monday, June 1st, instead of the 30th. Voting will end on Sunday June 7th, so this will give you an entire week to check out all of the challenge fics and decide which to vote for.

I will explain the rules to voting on Sunday, so watch the news posts for that.

Thanks to everyone who submitted and those who are reading and reviewing. Remember, one lucky reviewer will receive a prize as well, so go read the stories and let the authors know what you think!

Check out all of the completed challenge fics HERE!

Housekeeping and Writer's Block
We're doing some housekeeping on THF and in an attempt to make things more organized and clean, some links and sections have been moved around.

The writing guides section has been moved to their own page, and the link for that section can now be found under the main menu. This was done to clear up some space on the menu. The "genre" page has been moved into the writing guides, and removed from the "Browse Content By" menu.

The fan art link has been moved to the main menu, as well. The site staff link is now under the menu beneath the header.

Sorry for all of the confusion with moving links, but we're trying to fit everything into its place.

Also, we've added a small section to the site called "The Writer's Block". This section will feature fun writing prompts and members can contribute their own prompts by emailing thfiction@gmail.com. Your prompt could be featured on the site.

That's all... and remember that today is the last day to submit a submission to the THF "Flip Flop" challenge!

ETA- I added a really stupid game to the Member Lounge, too.

"Flip Flop" Challenge! PLEASE READ
In honor of Memorial Day here in the US, we are going to extend the THF "Flip Flop" fanfic challenge to Monday, May 25th. The old deadline was the 24th, so you will have an extra day to pen your prose.

That means you have one extra day to get your fanfics submitted to thfchallenges@gmail.com.

The stories will be posted by the admin staff throughout the week of the 26th, and they will be posted anonymously through the THFChallenges account.

Voting will begin (by the members of the website) on May 30th and end on June 4th. All members are allowed to vote, and that includes the mod staff. Only the admin, who know the identities of the authors, will not be allowed to participate in the voting.

As of right now we have thirty entries from various authors on the website... and we'd like to have more by Monday, so whip out your keyboards and get writing!

You can find more info on the challenge HERE.

Now get to writing!
