Admin update: Changes to the Creator Report

Hi there! Just to let you know, we've made some changes to the Fan Flashworks Creator Report (which is now linked in the comm sidebar).

If you click the Badges button, you will see a chronological list of the badges you've been awarded on the comm.

Clicking the second-level Badges button gives you three options:

All Badges - all the badges available on the comm, grouped by type. This is the same as the badges page on the Community Report.

My Badges - (default) all the badges you've been awarded on the comm, grouped by type, with an embed code button.

Available Badges - fan_flashworks badges that you haven't earned yet.

We have also added a button, next to the Unfilled Challenge button, called Next Skill Badge. This shows you a random skills training badge that you haven't earned yet, and the requirements for that badge. You can use this for inspiration if you want to focus on earning new badges.

As always, if you notice any issues or inconsistencies, please let us know. You can comment here, or submit an Issue Report via the form. :-)

Enjoy!

One of my favorite ways of kickstarting the writing brain is to interact with a beloved piece of media. Especially one that makes you feel something! Whether it's a favorite story, novel, fanfic, visual art, movie, show, game, or anything else, just taking in storytelling you enjoy can do double duty as rest and inspiration.

So, visit one of those today! And please share with the class~ 👀👀

Challenge 275
ONE MORE TRY

You’ve tried before, and it didn’t go well. Maybe something catastrophic went wrong, or maybe you just couldn’t quite pull it off. But whatever it is, it still needs to be done, and it’s your job to do it – so you need to give it one more try.

What are your characters trying to do? Why did they fail last time? Will they succeed this time, and what will it take?

Write a story about one more try.

BONUS GOAL: “Third time’s the charm.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, September 29 at 9:00PM EST.
