Okay y'all, the fanime community is pretty dang small, but boy do we love each other. As tiny web animators, we band together for survivfal in the cold, desolate reaches of youtube, banding together to grow, and we have flourished. Not only do we produce content for our own series, we make amvs, and fanart for each other. Everyone loves making content and everyone loves receiving it. That's why ii think we should expand our horizons. Fanfiction is severely limited in this fandom, and i think that doesn't let a lot of people shine. I know for a fact there are a lot of great writers here- after all, every series needs a story! That's why i'm vouching for a fanfiction week. It'll be one week devoted to creating and promoting fanime fanfiction. Because hey- take a look, its in a book, it'd be fucking awesome amirite? The way i see it there are two ways to go about this. 1. A secret santa thing. You can enter as many times as you want- more entries, more received content. Itd be good to spread the love to less popular series. You could still write additional fic too, i guess. 2. Free for all. This has the disadvantage of ending up being tilted towards popular series, but it also lets you do your thing, even if the fanimator you want to write for isn't participating. Of course there are other options, so comment in the thread! A date can be decided later.

I think the secret santa event is favorable because this community seems to have a bad past with favoritism towards popular series from what I've heard. i don't think the people here have that favoritism now but it's better to be safe than sorry, and the secret santa aspect would make it more interesting.
also "Secret Sandor" is great lol because nobody makes a better jolly gift giver than an evil prophecy god who wants to destroy humanity.

Yeah, I mean it's not like you can't write outside of the S.S., you just need to fill the little quota.

This sounds like a lot of fun! Especially the secret Santa system! Where do I sign up? ヽ(゜∇゜)ノ

But how can someone write 'fanfiction' for something they aren't a fan of? Especially if they don't know the characters that well... This is an interesting idea, but I think you should aim for the method that makes it the most fun for everyone involved.
Maybe there's a midpoint somewhere between the two ideas.
