Mischief and Malice One-Shot Contest Results It's time at last to reveal the results of our Mischief and Malice one-shot contest! This was our biggest contest yet, with twenty-one entries, and it's clear our authors were really loving the theme. There's a lot going on in the results thread...

Orzo's realm--you could tell somebody thought they were hot shit, when they started calling the place they lived a fucking "realm"--was exactly as unpleasant as Nate had expected. You could barely fucking breathe for the dust and the heat and the feeling of foreboding or whatever the fuck. It...

All right, it's time for everyone to draw their Tarot cards! What will your fate be? As I said at the outset, I wasn't sure how many sign-ups to expect. I definitely wasn't expecting more than 22! That means we don't have quite enough Major Arcana cards to go around. Therefore I gave a Minor...

Welcome to the forums! Figured I’d check out your first chapter, here. It looks like you’re setting up an interesting scenario here. Two kids getting sent off to an arid region to do medical testing for cash? Nothing could possibly go wrong with that. Especially not when you consider the fic’s...

Nate watched uneasily as Darkrai descended on Mightyena. On their side or not, it was hard for him to take the legends as entirely tame or friendly. If nothing else, the ones around here had a nasty habit of wanting to test people. But as dark energy flared and swirled around Mightyena, she...

Almost as suddenly as it had come, the black of the Nightmare drained away, leaving Nate and Mightyena sitting together in the middle of… Another nightmare. Or dream, if you wanted to be polite about it. Nate was pretty sure fancy-ass reality-warping castles like that didn’t exist in the waking...

All right! I can't guarantee you'll land on one of those, but we'll see what happens.

Glad to have you all! Only one thing--if you'd like to request a specific card, please do narrow it down to one; it's going to get really complicated for me if I have to try and figure out card assignments across multiple people asking for one of three or so. @Inkedust Do you have any one of...

Thousand Roads Tarot Our deck is COMPLETE! See all the cards here, or discover your fortune here! As a special art event this year, we're going to work on creating a Pokémon-themed Tarot deck! Tarot decks were originally intended for typical card games, but over time have become more...

All right, I definitely said I hoped the previous update would be the last, buuuut that didn't make much sense. Instead I hope this is our final judging update of the contest! Two judges have completed their full ranking of fics, and on the whole I'm hopeful that we'll come close to hitting our...

The 2022 contest season is winding down, so let's close it out on a high note by revisiting last year's first-place winner, "Methods of Support!" Whether you missed Equitial's entry earlier or simply want a chance to revisit it, I hope our author interview will give you some insight into the...

Content warnings: Blood, death, not graphically described "Sir? Did you hear me, sir?" Nate came back to himself with a start. It was bright. What had he just been... something to do with water? But the thought slid away from him before he could do more than brush his fingers against him...

Okay, the results are in, and they're giving us... an absolute TIE between the zine and Tarot deck options! As the Tarot option requires much less admin than a zine, I think it makes for a better introductory event and am breaking the tie in that direction. Expect to see a sign-up thread in the...

Sorry to see this one go, but thanks for sharing the beginning with us! Best of luck with the rest of the quest.

Hey, happy birthday! Hope you have an awesome day.

While Thousand Roads' primary focus is on fanfic, we also have a number of visual artists knocking around the community. In the past year or so there's been an increased interest in trying some kind of community event focusing on visual art, so this September, we're going to try one out! Since a...

Indeed, it's time now for our six-week check-in! At this point, one of the judges is done with their rankings and reviews; one hopes to complete their work within the next week; and one is at 14/21 reviews completed. With any luck, this will be our last check-in! And as before, while we wait on...
