For Writers Who Feel the Pull of the Moon
A creative sanctuary for weird fiction and genre-bending storytellers—especially those building creative lives in the margins
What Is Full Moon Fiction?
A Community for Writers Like You
Full Moon Fiction is where weird fiction enthusiasts and genre-bending storytellers gather to create, grow, and support each other through every phase of the creative cycle.
Made by an Author Like You
Founded by K.E. Koontz—a writer who turned to words when chronic illness ended her first career—FMF exists to make the writing world more accessible, less lonely, and infinitely more strange.
Fun For Every Phase
Join us for monthly prompts, workshops, writing sprints, and a community that understands both the magic and the struggle of this creative life.
The Full Moon Challenge
Every October
Our annual month-long writing event. 31 days. 31 prompts. Community sprints, accountability, and creative chaos under the full moon. Think NaNoWriMo's spooky older sibling—but built for people who don't want to write 50K in a single month.

You Belong Here If...
✓ You write horror, weird fiction, dark fantasy, or anything that doesn't fit neatly in a box
​
✓ You're navigating chronic illness, disability, or limited energy while trying to create
​
✓ You're tired of writing advice that assumes you have endless time and resources
​
✓ You want community over competition
​
✓ You believe accessibility in creative spaces isn't optional
​
✓ You're drawn to the strange, the eerie, and the stories that live in shadows
​
✓ You're here to build a sustainable creative practice, not burn out chasing someone else's definition of success
The moon doesn't apologize for her phases. Neither should you.
I lost my first career at 20 when chronic illness took horses away from me. Writing became my lifeline—but it was lonely, and I didn't have mentors or resources.
Full Moon Fiction is the community I wish existed when I was starting out. A place where you don't have to be healthy, wealthy, or traditionally successful to belong. Where 'I didn't write today' doesn't mean you failed but that you're human.
If you've ever felt like the writing world wasn't built for people like you, this is the space for you. I'm building it for us.
