It’s where Zack got into a fistfight because of Alex and where Alex is drowning in his own head because of it.

John’s the only human at Zack’s birthday party. That goes well until it doesn’t.

Or, a reimagined bandom version of the scene in New Moon where Bella cuts her finger at her birthday party at the Cullens’.

🐣 All Time Low Microfic Challenge 🐣

April prompt: bloom, 451 words [any pairing]

🐣🐝🌸🦋🐰🌷🐣🐝🌸🦋🐰🌷

Happy April, kids, spring has sprung! Welcome to the second month of the All Time Low Microfic Challenge.

I opted to go with a word I came up with myself for the prompt rather than a randomly generated one, because the randomly generated words were, uh... well, they sucked. So going forward, I think myself, another mod, or even some followers will come up with the word prompt and only the number of words will be randomly generated!

While there is no strict pairing/character rule this time either, just a wee reminder that April is Zack Merrick's birth month (21st April). So if you wanted some extra inspo for your microfic, that's a good place to start.

When Alex learned he was pregnant with their second child only two years after Ethan was born, he wasn’t happy.

Jack had expected some sort of scene from Alex on their wedding day.

But not this.

[alltimefanfiction]

Hi! It's me again! No worries about the wait! I understand that you have that monthly writing going on now. And to answer your question, yes, the original link can be deleted.

I've sorted that out!

EDIT: Just found this in our drafts as of today, 1st April, and I don't know why it didn't post onto the main the day I answered it??? But. Oops. :')

🎊 Welcome to the first monthly All Time Low Microfic Challenge! 🎊

March prompt: winner, 612 words [any pairing]

How do I participate?

On the 1st of each month, we will post a prompt word and a word limit. Both the prompts and the word limits will be randomly generated (with the word limit being between 300-900 words).

You have until the end of the month to fill the prompt; write whatever the word prompt inspired you to write, but you must hit the word count exactly. That's the fun of the challenge!

Post your story on whatever platform you feel most comfortable (although we do recommend using AO3), and submit the link to us as you would with any other fic you post. Make it clear in the summary that the fic is for the All Time Low Microfic Challenge (insert whatever month it's for here).

If you are posting to AO3, please add it to the collection on AO3!

This page of the blog will hold this information too.

We also heavily encourage you as a participant or as just a reader to try and read the other works submitted to the challenge if you have time. Leave a comment and kudos, reblog the post on here to place that work in front of new eyes; we are a small but lovely community and we should try to uplift each other's work. <3

How will you check the word count?

Please use wordcounter.net to check your word count is exactly as listed on the challenge. Different platforms such as Word, AO3, etc may show up the word count differently. As long as it matches on wordcounter.net, you're golden.

We will let you know if your story hasn't hit the word count so you have a chance to amend and re-submit.

What kind of genres, pairings, settings, etc am I allowed to write about?

Absolutely anything, as long as it's to do with All Time Low! You can do an AU, fluff, smut, angst, hurt/comfort... whatever you manage to pack into the word count is allowed, just always remember to use appropriate tags and ratings.

As for pairings, you have complete free rein to do slash, non-slash, platonic, romantic, or no pairing at all if you'd rather revolve it around only one of them. The fics can be about the band members, but also crew, both past and present! It can feature other people if you'd like to pair them with someone from another band, an actor, etc. As long as someone involved with All Time Low is the main focus, it counts.

However, please note that some months will have a mandatory pairing challenge alongside the prompt. For example, we may make a non-slash only month, or only allow pairings involving a crew member, etc. This will be noted alongside the prompt and word count for the month if so.

What inspired you to do this?

Giving credit where credit is due—Eve was inspired to start this challenge to bolster the number of fics in the fandom after enjoying participating in similar challenges in the Stranger Things fandom. Namely @steddiemicrofic and @harringrovemicrofic! 💖 If you're into Stranger Things and would like to write for the fandom/those pairings, please consider joining in their monthly challenges too.

I still have questions.

Hit up our ask! No question is too silly.

#last few days to get your entry in for the month!

Jack is just as eccentric about a notebook he’s been working on about as much as he is about seeing Alex, but Alex feels a bit off, and it frustrates him. Jack ends up having a crazy idea that he thinks may just help him, as weird as it might be.

John hadn’t said it back.

That expression, those three words that Alex had spent months building the courage to say.

“I love you, John.”

“John, you look so cute!”

“Is my dick out yet?” John asks, voice muffled.

“Yes.”

“Then don’t call me cute.”

Or, John gets a surprise when his episode of a naked dating game show airs (and it’s not just how bad his ass looked in the poor studio lighting).

Jack and Alex have been best friends for as long as they can remember, and that’s as long as Alex has loved Jack. When Jack steps completely out of character and gets married to a woman named Caitlin, Alex has to try desperately to move on. That’s how he meets Beau, a seemingly perfect distraction. Beau is far from perfect, and that may cost Alex his life. But in the long run…does Alex really care? And more importantly, does Jack?

Yeah that.

How could they? They were 15-year-old fanboys meeting their musical heroes! You try telling any fan not to be excited over meeting their idols!

Freshmen Jack and Alex win a backstage pass to meet blink-182 and things go, as they do.
