Numb3rs Flashfiction has been imported to a mirror comm on DW as of 4/18/17. I imported the community for archival purposes only; I don't want to lose the fic links here should anything happen to fandom on LJ. If you're new to the fandom, please feel free to browse around.

Please comment here if you have any questions.

Thank you.

Because there have been no challenge responses posted here in many months, and I don’t really have my head in the Numb3rs game at the moment, Numb3rs Flashfic will be going on indefinite hiatus.

The community will not be deleted, nor will posting be disallowed. All of the existing prompts will remain open if anyone wants to write them and post their fic here, but no new challenges will be posted in the immediate future.

Thanks so much to everyone who has participated in the years since this comm was created.

Amnesty Period

by it only burns when I breathe (spikedluv)

at December 19th, 2009 (05:40 pm)

The Bet challenge is now closed.

The holiday season is upon us, and for many of us RL tends to get in the way of fandom fun. For that reason there will be no new challenge issued this week. Instead, we’re going to take the opportunity to hold an Amnesty Period and encourage everyone to check out all our previous prompts (with the additional reminder that all of the past challenges always remain open for writing, even after the challenge has been officially ‘closed’).

The Amnesty Period will run for four weeks, so we'll post a new challenge on Saturday, January 16.

You can find the complete list of all 104 past challenges here. Remember to post your fic here at the comm, but since it’s for a past challenge, it doesn’t have to be exclusive to this comm for the ‘challenge period’.

Have fun!
