What You Missed, Live! on TiF…
TiF Presents… is back and this time we’re going to make sure to do it right! The one and only Friday the 13th is happening in June and I could think of no better time than the 13th Weekly Live to start the teasers rolling! Our theme for this Friday the 13th in June is…
What watches us when we think we’re alone? There is so much that can be taken from the concept of seeing and being seen. How will you choose to interpret this theme? What story will you tell?
The clock is ticking. Whatever story you decide to tell, it must be written between today, March 31st and June 1st. That gives you two months. Get cracking! Our grand master plan is to have you all DROP your story on Friday, June 13th and then invite some of you to join us for our June TiF Sociable to read your piece!
We had a great turn out for our very first TiF Sociable! So good, in fact, our next Sociable is happening April 30th! Want to participate? Let me know in the comments!
The TiF 100 official list is coming April 14th! Contrary to how it might seem, based on the timing of recent events, we’ve been working behind the scenes on this list since the release of the Annual Recap back on January 15th. There will be more to say about this list next week when I’ll share how the list was created and who you may or may not see on it.
One more reminder for this Wednesday’s Monthly Recap, March Edition at 1pm EST! It will start with the featured stories from the month of March and then I’ll be joined by repeat guest, Shane Bzdok, to geek out about our love for interior book design as well as a deep dive into The Midnight Vault.
Last minute reminders about what’s going on around TiF:
We have a Discord server and it’s for everyone!
Our YouTube channel and podcast has all previous weekly and monthly recap Lives archived
The Database has a collection of every recommendation made to TiF via Notion, making it even easier to find more of the kinds of stories you love!
Join the TiF Team and put your skill of reading to good use by helping us curate amazing stories every week.
