Hi! Your friendly Challenge Zone mods here!
Previous mods
We originally began as the DFC - just Remi and Kaito, two digimon lovers who thought there weren't enough writing challenges out there. A few years later, we discovered we'd created a monster and so our mod team grew. Our challenge base grew as well, from a small digimon forum to younger sibling forums, for yugioh, books, puella magi madoka magica etc... and we became part of other challenge forums as well, like pokemon, sailor moon and anime. In our forages in original writing, we also created the Writer's Challenge Cafe: a challenge zone for original writers, but we found FFN and FP quite restricting and so we decided to expand our base. This has led to a multi-platform endeavour, including... see below!
Over time, we've also opened our doors to other avenues of creativity. While not all prompts in our permenant challenges are adaptable to non-writing avenues, our events in particular encourage people to step out of their comfort zones and into multiple media, including but not limited to drawing, podcasting, making youtube videos etc. - all useful avenues in creative communication and most of which play a role somewhere along the line in creating, publishing and promoting content.
We invite people with all sorts of experiences and levels of experience to share their wisdom, try out new things, think way outside the box, and enjoy a community where we take on lofty goals and challenges, support each other, and try very hard not to (jokingly) drown amongst it all. Because although we are a challenge community, we're pretty low-key in terms of deadlines except for competitions and events.
Aim for the sky. Challenge yourself. And in the process of challenges you might think are nightmarish at first glance, discover more about your creative side, reinforce your current skillset and add a few new tools to the trade!
