Hello and welcome, dear footieforesters, to all of the old and new ones!

We promised you to revive this community at the beginning of the year and now we'll finally live up to that promise -
we brought you a challenge and slightly changed our usual ways... Hopefully this will suit all of our writing better and perhaps help to get this tree to grow strong... ;)

So, for this new tree we will no longer have a starting ficlet to get your ideas bouncing, but a list of ten individual sentences instead.
You can pick, mix and match these sentences after your own liking; the only thing you have to do is write a ficlet (or a drabble) around them and then post it in the comments of this entry. There are no limitations to your imagination, you can pick all the characters, pairings, raitings and genres you like - as long as it can be classified as 'football slash', you're good to go!
[This also means that you can take all of the 'he','him','his' etc. and turn them into 'she','her' etc., or replace a name x with y!]

As for the challenge: Of course you can pick the sentence you like best, but why not tickle your muse(s) and try to write a ficlet/drabbles for each one of them?


The Sentences:

1 His phone buzzes in his pocket so he reaches for it and sighs when he sees the screen.

2 He came up to me suddenly, grabbed my chest and pushed me against the wall. (x)

3 This is not enough; sex is not enough. (Cold Red Light, IAMX)

4 His skin was thicker than mine and a gorgeous shade of toast. (The Help, K. Stockett)

5 You have every reason in the world to hate me, yet somehow I thought you were the one person to give me half a chance. (x)

6 I miss the way you say my name.

7 The dialing tone becomes his heartbeat as he waits for him to pick up.

8 If you really love me, you'll stay up and watch Game Of Thrones with me tonight.

9 The stadium lights around him become brighter, then flicker, then fade.

10 And then X knows Y knows what he did in the dark.


Once our tree starts to grow (= once there are ficlets/drabbles in the comments), our usual way of things gets back into order: you can pick any sentence or part of a sentence you find in the comments, write your own ficlet/drabble for it and then post it as a reply to the comment you took your starting sentence from. That's as easy as it gets!

We mods hope that this new way of starting off a tree is to your taste, too - Happy Foresting! ;)

(If you have any questions, please address them to the help post. // Wrote a ficlet and you would like to give others the chance to give you some feedback for it? Want to give feedback yourself? Here's the place for it! // Wrote yourself into a frenzy? Check out our awesome affiliates, too!)

Yes, you! We mods would like to wish you a very happy new year and only good things for all of you. May 2013 only ever be kind to us.

And no, we haven't forgotten about this place ... but everyone knows that good foresting means as well to leave the forest some peace to grow back on its own every once in a while, no? ;)

Anyway, as this forest had his fair share of growing back on its own now, we'd like to welcome you all back to this place. Don't worry, nothing at all has changed, so feel free to carry on where we kind of lost it in 2012 ... New year, new chances! ;)

So, without further ado, here's the link to our tree (which could do with some new spring-like branches, especially this winter ;) ).

BREAKING NEWS: we exist.

Even we mods haven't been that active for some time... can't blame you if you forgot of this comm. We however do feel this stinging guilt every now and then, it's our baby after all.

So, the birthday boy to attract some more attention!



(May you find yourself there only once a year, to ensure you're fucking healthy! And keep smiling *_*)

Ahem. The current tree is here!!! And you can get help in this thread.

And now I really gotta run. x

... so, dear fellow footieforesters, are you feeling the tension creeping in already? With the semifinal Portugal vs. Spain knocking at our doors, I highly doubt I'm the only one around who could do with some anti-stress writing, am I now? ... Or are you not touched at all by what's going to happen tonight because your team is already out of the Euros/playing tomorrow and therefore you're having a spare night, anyway? One way or another - our tree of course is open and running and awaiting your every ficlet.
Be it your pre-game jitter or observations coming from the first half hectically scribbled down during half-time or your emotional closing and breakdown of the night, we gladly take it all. ;)

Our current tree (featuring a total of three ficlets as of right now) is to be found HERE. That's also where the other helpful links can be found.

Hoping to see some of you around, your footieforest mods. x

On the occassion of summer solstice (and because the old one seemingly has stopped 'growing' for good...) and the EUROs (I'm sure some of you have got a lot to write about that ;) ) ... how about we have ourselves here at footieforest a brand new shining tree?

Without further ado, here be the starting ficlet.


Starting ficlet to kick off under here.Collapse )


You know the deal, dear community citizens, just take what you want and run with it. :)

Yep, even your footieforest mods /or at least me/ are not above the Hunger Games hype, so I present you today the

1# footieforest challenge

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to go about the well-known footieforest business as usual -  with the small exception that you can try and make your ficlets The Hunger Games themed. You can interpret this prompt as you wish, it's up to you whether you make your two favourite players watch the movie, have one of your characters freaking out about reading the books and annoying his entire team during training by telling them all about it or even write a Hunger Games AU where your favourites find themselves in the arena ... seriously, what you do with this is up to you! (To a reasonable extent, of course.) Just pick a line from an already existing ficlet and write away. Of course you can as well ignore this prompt and write whatever you like, it's only a voluntary challenge ... :)

So, if you feel inspired - be it by the prompt or not - our tree (for writing) or the flowery field of feeback (for giving feedback) await you. If there are any questions, our rules&questions&help post is your place to go!

So much for today. Have fun with the challenge, but most of all have a nice weekend. Your footieforest mods.

Hoping that everyone has had/is still having a good Easter (or in general a good weekend), here comes your weekly reminder ...



*If you'd like to actively participate this week, it's either to the tree (for writing) or to the flowery field of feeback (for giving feedback).

* If there are any questions or concerns, our rules&questions&help post is your place to go!

* And last but not least, if you'd like to affiliate with us or are looking for some new communities to check out, here's the affiliates post.

So much for today, have a lovely week! Your footieforest mods.
 
 
 

Huh! ... Admittedly, it's been a while, but due to recent events, I thought maybe a new reminder post is long overdue?
(If there are some people around who are still interrested, of course. I thought it was worth giving a shot, just in case.)

Therefore, here you go:

* Have there been recent events/bromantic moments/match stats & scorelines that have inspired a spark, but you haven't gotten around to type something about it, yet? Here's our tree, hopefully helping you to bounce off everything that's on your chest!

* As it's been a while, have you forgotten about what this community is all about? Or is this the first time you're stumbling across one of these posts and you're not really sure of what to make of all of this? Here are our participating guidelines, in case you want to have a look! (This is also your place to go if you need to contact a mod for any reason. You can always drop a comment there or, if it's a matter of privacy, mail either of us mods directly.)

* Have you read one of the ficlets belonging to the tree and were blown away? Or have you written something yourself and would like to hear what others think about it, too? Here's our feedback-thread, where you can leave your username and your feedback directed at a certain writer, alike.

* Are you looking for some more awesome communities (related to football slash) to enrich your friends list? Or are you the owner of a community and would like to be affiliated with us? Here's our affiliate's post; come check them out! ;)

* If there's anything else you'd like to say (or not like to say) that's not fitting any of above posts, feel free to make use of this one, instead.

So much for now. ... Hoping that all of you are doing well and looking forward to your contributions,
your friendly neighbourhood footieforest mods. :)

And to celebrate the new year, what better way could there be than launching an all brand new tree?

Here's the starting ficlet, written by trainmad  (thank you very much!) ... you know the deal from here on out!
(And if you don't (especially if you're new to the comm), feel free to visit our various posts meant to help you - links below.)

NC-17 warning for this ficlet. Also, yes, it's long, but it should provide lots and lots of things to work with, too, no?


Here be the ficlet to start it all. ... Have fun!Collapse )
