About:

Five by Five is a multifandom fiction challenge and prompt community. Created in the spirit of other challenge communities, Five by Five aims to be an active, low-pressure community that encourages its members to write, and gives them an arena in which to do so.

Rules
The purpose of Five by Five is to write five sets of five fics. These sets may take place in different fandoms, or all in the same fandom, but the fics within each set should be linked - whether by fandom, character, relationship, or something else is up to you.

To begin, you must join the community, and choose five areas in which you wish to write. It is recommended that each area be in a different fandom, but that's completely up to you. These areas may be as broad (eg. general fandom) or as narrow (eg. one particular character) as you wish.

After you have chosen five areas, you should choose a set of prompts for each. There are twenty-five prompt sets to choose from in total, so you should be able to find something that inspires you.

Once you've chosen your areas and prompts, post here to claim them. There is no limit on how many people can claim the same fandom, character, etc. You don't need to wait for your claim to be approved; once you've staked your claim, you can begin writing as soon as you like.

To post your fics, you should use the following template:

Notes:

Please tag all entries by fandom. If the tag for your fandom does not yet exist, you can ask for it to be created here.

The minimum word count for each fic is 100 words. There is no maximum word limit. All fics should be placed under an lj-cut or fake cut to link back to your journal. Please don't disable comments, but if you would prefer to receive comments in your own journal, feel free to say so. No entries should be friends-locked (including entries in your own journal if you've included a fake cut). Each fic should be posted in a separate entry.
