40fandoms is a LiveJournal-based challenge that asks participants to write one fic in a different fandom for each day of Lent. As of 2023, there were 968 entries and 3,177 comments recorded in its user profile.

Rules

The Rules

1. Fics must be produced during Lent - no reposting old works! By this, I mean that you can plan in advance as much as you like but please write only during Lent as the time pressure is as much a part of the challenge as the number of fandoms is.

2. Any length is fine - if you can manage 40,000 words for each of the 40 days, that's great! Equally, short drabbles are more than acceptable.

3. "40 different fandoms" does include crossovers, so you could write a Supernatural fic, a Buffy fic and then a Dean/Faith fic and those 3 would count as 3 different fandoms.

4. This community is slash and RPS friendly.

5. Please post entries here and then link elsewhere, rather than posting links here. I'd like this community to be an archive of all the fic produced for this challenge. I don't mean for you to post the stories exclusively here, feel free to start the post with 'read the whole thing here but otherwise here's part 1 of X'

6. Please number your entries and tag with your penname and the fandom

7. Please post entries behind a LJ cut and include all appropriate ratings and disclaimers
