There were 359 prompts, with 4,675 posts and 51,005 comments recorded in the community as of 2022. Winners were chosen through community voting, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners received custom banners to display in their journals.

About

Welcome! This community is for WEEKLY fan fiction challenges for the Full Metal Alchemist anime and manga series. This community is similar to naruto_contest, dn_contest, and bleach_contest.

GENERAL RULES AND PROCEDURE:

Every week, a prompt and word count will be posted and community members will be encouraged to write for that challenge. This community welcomes all ratings, genres, pairings, and characters, and requires all NC-17 fics to be locked to the community. Interpret the prompts as you wish and let your creative energy take you to new places, knowing we're all here to have fun, develop our writing skills, and squee over each others' FMA-love. Only fics directly related to the contests of this community may be posted here. Also, it is prohibited for members of this community to copy any post that is member locked to this community and paste the contents elsewhere; we as a community value our members and understand and agree that only the author of the fic may cross post their own work and anyone who violates this member lock policy will be banned from further participating in this community. We have not had any problems, but we do want current members and potential members to know that we are committed to keeping our community a wonderfully fun, mutually respectful, and an amazing, positive, interactive place to be!

Each week's winners will receive banners to post in their LJ's and covet shamelessly. All members are eligible (and encouraged) to read, comment, and vote each week, whether or not you submit an entry. Writers are key to our success, but having ample readers, commenters, and voters is equally important.

Word Counts:

Word counts will be on a rotating basis of four ranges: 100-250, 251-500, 501-1000, Open/Free (totally up to you how much you want to write for your fic!). See Prompts sidebar and weekly prompt posts for each week's count. We're using the honor system here: we're not going to count the words of your entry each week. Please stick to the range given and work with it as part of the week's challenge and fun.
