sweetandshort | Welcome to 'Sweet and Short'

What is this community about?
Sweet and short is a low-pressure community for creating small fanworks each week.

There will be four regular challenges each month. We will have amnesty days at the end of every month.

The schedule for every months in 2026 looks like this:
1. Monthly prompts = 10 out of 20
8. This or That = various themes
15. Unique/rare words
22. Micro Bingo = four prompts
29. Amnesty Days

All challenges run until the end of the month, midnight in your timezone. Amnesty days end on the 1st of the following month, midnight of your timezone.

General Rules
Allowed are fics up to 500 words, poems, icons (100x100 px), and small graphics up to 500px width x height.
During amnesty days, all rules are disabled, and everything is possible.

All fandoms, genres, and ratings are welcome, but please use warnings if applicable. Original works and real-person works are acceptable.

You can combine your works with any other challenge/community, as long as the work is created within the given challenge period at

sweetandshort.

Post your work directly to this community. Please use a header of your choice and put bigger works under a cut. You can also post your work at other places like AO3 or your writing journal - in this case, please leave a header and a link at

sweetandshort to keep the community running. I would ask you to keep the posts unlocked at least until the end of the following month.

Please use the following tags: creator, fandom, work type, and based on. If a tag is missing, use !tag needed.
