Mod Note
Hello everyone! First, apologies for the late prompt, that may occasionally happen during the upcoming holiday season but I will try to be as prompt (ahem) as possible.
Second, we've reached our 10th prompt and I'd like to request feedback on ways to improve the community and encourage participation. Any suggestions are welcome, no matter how much they depart from our current setup. At this stage I am open to all ideas, including closing the community if there is not current interest in a prompt community for developing player characters.
I think the community may benefit from a more narrowed focus. "Any fanwork" is a broad category designed to encourage participation from many different types of creators, but personally I've found having to work within more narrow confines (such as limited word count) spurs creativity.
There will be no comment screening on this post so members can communicate with each other, but if you have a private comment for the mod you may use the Contact a Mod post, which is screened.

On DW, there are a handful of communities that are specifically for announcing new challenges, new prompts, and new community events. I haven't looked too deeply, but these are all active:
- http://fandomcalendar.dreamwidth.org/profile
- http://fandom-on-dw.dreamwidth.org/profile
- http://pimpmethis.dreamwidth.org/profile
More targeted, there is a new Dragon Age comm that just started:
- http://dragon-age.dreamwidth.org/
- http://dragonage-fans.livejournal.com/
There are also some older quieter DA comms on DW+LJ that still have significant membership.
Weekly crosspost announcements elsewhere on DW would help (admittedly, more mod work).

Members are welcome to advertise anywhere that looks promising, of course.
