Pack your bags, FoLCs! Or rather, back Lois's and Clark's bags. It's time to take these fics on the road. Write a story that puts our favorite characters in a location other than Metropolis. It can be another city, another country, another planet, or even another universe! All of time and space is up for grabs.

Once it's posted (or at least the first chapter, if this is going to take a while), put a link here and it will be eligible for the following categories:

1. Most Novel Location - You know how a lot of stories take place in the same few settings we all know and love? This is the opposite of that.

2. Best Scenery Description - What does this place look like? Sound like? Smell like? Take some time to tell us, and this award may well be yours!

3. Best Use of Culture or Language/Dialect In the Plot - Does someone commit a cultural faux pas? Do Lois and Clark learn a local word or phrase, or even just enjoy some new foods? How about a new outfit to blend in with the locals?

This time around, I will not be the one judging. On August 1st 2nd, polls will open, and all FoLCs will be invited to vote in all three categories for any of the fics listed here. Not only that, but our ultimate goal is to persuade the Kerth Committee to have "Best Destination" as a category for this coming year, with all that entails.

So sharpen those pencils, make sure that passport is up to date, and let's go!

Edit: Not a writer, but still got the travel bug? A new FDK Scavenger Hunt is also live!

ETA: Hey yall, due to extenuating circumstances, the deadline will be pushed back to the 2nd. Hope this isn't inconvenient for anyone.

This is not winning any awards, but: Field Trip.


What we've got here is failure to communicate...

Well, you're in first place for every category so far, if that helps! XD

Queenie, I think my muse is talking to me again, so I would like to join the fun.

Question: Can I use this in combination with my Seasons series?

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Just popping in to say that I'm excited about this one, and to remind FoLCs that it looks like they need their first chapter to be posted by August 1st!


Looking forward to this summer's Location Challenge! Looks like stories are due around August 1st, and then polls open for voting!

And don't forget about the 2026 fundraiser! Head over to the Fundraising page to donate or consider adding a story to the Keepsake Collection fundraising drive!

Wow, Ralph reading in a library? In spite of this being a fandom where a man can fly, Ralph in a library just shatters my ability to suspend my disbelief. Would never happen! wink
