Thousand Roads' Seventh Anniversary Celebration

Another year has come and gone, and it's time to celebrate! Thousand Roads turned seven on April 24th, if you can imagine that. The major milestone we reached over the past year was our thousandth fic posted to the forums. That's a huge milestone, and not one I could even imagine when I was first setting the forums up. It's been a pleasure to get to know all of you, new friends and old. Seven whole years! Let's celebrate!

Here's what we've got lined up for this year's anniversary events. If you'd like to throw another event into the pool, it's not too late! Just send me a message and we can get you on the schedule, no problem. Keep an eye on this thread for further event updates throughout the anniversary period!

Forum Events

- Come on down to Drabble Bingo! Stop by the thread to pick up your custom bingo card of prompts, then get writing!

- It's time for our annual mini Review Blitz, too! Get out there and appreciate some Bingo drabbles--or whatever else strikes your fancy!

- @Nekodatta is hosting a special writing event for TR Writing Buddies! We'll be writing as many words as we can to try and catch up with the legendary beasts--help us out by getting a few words in during the anniversary!

- @Inkedust will be hosting our annual mafia game, this year with a new twist! Look out for more information on that event as the Anniversary progresses.

- @The Walrein is hosting a new Story Swap event! Write the beginning of a story during the first week of Blitz, then receive another person's story to complete during the second week!

- @Flyg0n is hosting a new Grunt Recruitment Symposium! Pitch your evil team idea to the community and see how many grunts you can convince to join your organization!

- I will host a small Keys to the Kingdom RP mission! Look out for sign-ups during the second week of the anniversary.

Discord Events

- I'll be hosting a round of Speed Catnip the weekend of May 2nd and a voice chat fic reading the weekend of May 9th. If you're interested, please click on the event link in the previous sentence and fill out the timing poll so I know the best time to host. I'll announce the final date/times in this thread as they become available.

- I will also be organizing a day of writing sprints in service of the Writing Buddy event, most likely the weekend of May 3rd. Watch this thread for updates on that!

We have three more events now open!

- The Writing Buddies collaborative anniversary event has been announced! We'll be working together to write up to 100,000 words over the course of the next two weeks. Any writing you do during that time period counts--for your Bingo drabbles, work on an existing fic, or any other project you might have in flight!

- Tetra's launched the Grunt Recruitment Symposium, an exciting opportunity to recruit minions to the cause of your very own evil team! Check out the thread for goofy fun and perhaps a prize or two.

- The Walrein's kicked off a Story Swap! Write part of a story, then receive the first part of another person's story and write its ending. It's like a mini Exquisite Corpse, except you get to see more than two sentences!

Well, now that I've written my piece for this year's Drabble Bingo, I'd like to have a Quaquaval partner. Please?

We're one week into our seventh anniversary celebrations, and the final pieces are starting to fall into place for our event lineup! Here's what you can expect to see in the back half of the anniversary, plus some reminders about events that will finish soon:

- Our seventh anniversary mafia game is now open to signups! Make sure you show your interest by May 9th to guarantee your spot at the table.

- Speed Catnip will be occurring tomorrow on the TR Discord server! Pick out a piece of writing of about 1,000 words, whether standalone or from a longer story, and get ready to swap it with other people for lightning-fast feedback.

- Story Swap submissions are due today! Make sure to get your story-start in if you're interested in participating.

- The Grunt Recruit Symposium deadline has been extended through tomorrow, but be sure to get your pitches in there as well!

- The TR Writing Buddies anniversary festival continues through the following week! Push towards your writing goals and win fun (perhaps shiny?) prizes!

We still have our VC story readings and word sprint bonanza still to schedule; those will be happening the closing weekend of the event. Keys to the Kingdom signups will open shortly after the end of the anniversary proper in order to give the mafia game a bit of time to breathe. Further updates to come!
