🍂 🍃 Hello and welcome to our fifth annual Flufftober 🍂 🍃

Wow, we’re so excited to be back for our mini-anniversary and even more excited to have you here with us!

As has become our tradition: let’s fill the month of October with as much fluff as possible 🥰 since it's our mini-anniversary, we have a little surprise for you aside from the main list of 31 prompts and the alt prompts you're used to...😏

As with all our events, our standard blog rules apply, and you'll find answers to most questions on our FAQ post.

Below the cut, you'll find the necessary posting info and all the prompts in writing. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send us an ask.

Prompt Extras

Once again, we're offering you the option of Prompt Extras. You're more than welcome to replace prompts from the original list if they don't work for you for whatever reason - no explanation needed.

Aside from last year's fan favorites, we once again have a challenge for you: five rather romantic prompts - but make them platonic!

But wait, there's more...

As a little treat for our mini-anniversary, your Modmins got together and voted on their favorite prompts from previous years. We present:

Remember, you can use the Prompt Extras however you like:

to replace a prompt from the original list

to create even more content aside from the original prompts

mixed together to enhance one or more of the other prompts

Whichever way you use them, have fun and go wild 💚

We hope you like these prompts, and now

Happy Creating 🥳

Are you ready for CESTEMBER 2025!?!?

Cestember is a month-long multifandom incest event with daily prompts hosted by Macrocest in September.

This is our second year hosting this event and we are even more excited than last year because of all our new friends!! (Though we are still really proud of last year's prompts and works!)

For this year we have our daily prompts of course; but, we want to change things up a little bit each year to keep it interesting, so this year instead of suggested pairings we have suggested characters. For example, week one, day three we have the suggested character “big sister” and the prompt “Doppelgänger,” so you might write a fic that involves two Elsas—to Anna’s amazement—or, two Annas—to Elsa’s horror. The suggested character could be a large or small part of the scene, it’s up to you.

Remember these are suggestions, not requirements. Feel free to ignore them completely. They are merely to inspire you to branch out and try a new pairing or possibly return to an old favorite. Our AO3 Collection is up-to-date and has tons of new FAQs that might be helpful to you! For example, we specifically state that you do not need to post your work on AO3 (or at all!) to participate. And “imagines” (aka nonspecific little brother x big sister Tumblr-type stories) are now explicitly allowed, as well as rpf, reader-insert, and extremely taboo works. These were always allowed but now it says it loud and clear! (Fluff is absolutely allowed too btw!)

Prompts and Rules are below as well as on AO3:

Week 1 Suggested Character: Big Sister

1. Handcuffs 2. Licking 3. Doppelgänger 4. Ropes 5. Over-Stimulation 6. Virgin 7. Humiliation

Week 2 Suggested Character: Daddy

8. Body Hair Kink 9. Fleshlight 10. See-Through/X-Ray Vision 11. Clothed Sex 12. Power Exchange 13. Sweat 14. Massage

Week 3 Suggested Character: Little Brother

15. Size Kink 16. Body Worship 17. Mind Control 18. Felching 19. Chastity play 20. Masturbating Together 21. Coming in Pants

Week 4 Suggested Character: Mommy

22. Tit-Fucking 23. Bites & Bruises 24. Helpless 25. Face-Sitting 26. Dry Humping 27. Body Shots 28. Breath Play

Week 5 Suggested Character: Uncle

29. Come Play 30. Strip Club

Rules

1. All works need to include incest, but every fandom is welcome! Original works are also welcome. 2. Relationships can include more than just the incest pairing, but the incest pairing must feature. 3. NSFW, Dead Dove and dark content is welcome, but please tag them accordingly. 4. No AI or LLM (Large Language Model) works allowed. 5. If posting your work on Tumblr, please tag @macrocest and include: - the name of the prompt - a note of any nsfw content or triggers (somnophilia, underage, etc.)

This might look like:

@macrocest Prompt: Getting caught Dean/Sam | 6.5k words Warning: nsfw, gore It wasn’t supposed to have happened this way…

[zineobiology]

Welcome to the Zine O’Biology Vol.2!

A multi-fandom Star Trek Zine.

Whats New? This time we are organizing the artist/writer partnerships like a bang! We want to avoid some confusion from last time and think this will be best way to do that.

Do you have strong opinions on Vulcan fra’als, Cardassian tails, or how the heck Trill symbionts reproduce? We want to hear from you!

The Zine O’Biology is a fictional comparative xenobiology academic journal set in the Star Trek universe. If you’ve always wanted to wax eloquent for up to 3000 words about your theories on alien biology, welcome to your new home!

We want all your theories about all your favorite aliens! This is a friendly but competitive academic journal where the content of every paper is a little bit suspicious (is this paper based on rumor or fact? What is the methodology?) and some competing authors leave snarky comments on one another’s work. So just like a real academic journal, except ours features the Great Green Anthurium.

We welcome xenobiology articles on all Star Trek aliens from all series!

The final format will be a PDF that you can scroll at your leisure or print at home in order to have a physical copy of the Zine. (This way there is no money involved.)

ALIEN BIOLOGY ARTICLES

How do Andorian genders work? Are Cardassians actually lizards? Why do Klingons have so many redundant organs? What’s the biological purpose of Bajoran nose ridges? What’s the best cement mix for emergency surgery on a Horta?

You’ve been pondering alien biology for years. This is your chance to infodump all your favorite theories to an eager audience of your fellow nerds!

Articles will be separated into two categories: reproductive biology or general biology. Yes, we also want all your theories on what every species is packing downstairs…and how they use it.

Journal articles should be fun and engaging, but also written in your interpretation of a pseudo-academic style, since this is a highly respected Federation xenobiology journal. If you want to keep things more lighthearted and less academic, check out the section on Letters to the Editor.

ALIEN BIOLOGY ARTWORK

If you have independent illustrations about alien biology we would love to see them! If you would like to provide illustrations for one of our journal articles, we will open up bidding so that you can find the perfect article for your ideas!

JOURNAL ADVERTISEMENTS

Even in a post-need future, academic journals will need a little extra funding. Submit your ads for Ferengi Oomox Creme, Self Sealing Stem Bolts, Gently Used Federation Technology, and, of course, “reproductive aids.” The weirder the better! Have fun with it!

All art needs to be printable at high resolution

ART Sizes:

Full page: 4.5"w x 7.5"h

Column: 2.21"w x 7.5"h

Half Page: 4.5"w x 3.75"h

Square: 2.21"w x 2.18"h

Banner: 4.5"w x 1"h

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Do you have a great idea, but it’s not enough to fill out a 3000 word article? Submit it as a “reaction” to a previous journal article. Feel free to lay into a mythical researcher who does NOT understand why their biological theory is wrong and yours is right!

Max length 1500 words. Enjoy making these plenty frothy!

WANT TO GET INVOLVED, BUT YOU’RE NOT A WRITER OR ARTIST?

WE NEED:

Graphic designers to help with Zine layout

Social media promoters

Alien art and article wranglers (ie: get your fannish friends involved!)

McSpirk Month, what is it, and how does it work?

Mcspirk Month is a fandom event meant to celebrate the ship of McCoy/Spock/Kirk, in any and all forms. QPRs are valid, and celebrated here.

5 random headcanons about hsr characters in no particular order!

warnings: i swore once writing these, my bad. but other than that, none! 

word count: 624

author’s note: hope you enjoy! this was very fun to write! :D

taglist: @your-sleeparalysisdem0n, @threnodians, @sheyfu, and @m1ckeyb3rry

part 1 here!

blade:

trusts you and only you to rewear his bandages for him. it’s a very intimate act for him, but there are times where he wants to do it himself.

probably can’t cook well but it’s just enough to get by; please help him learn to cook. 

spars with you regularly to test agility and endurance. teaches you tips and tricks that will definitely throw the enemy off guard, and if you use said tips and tricks in a spar with him, you’ll hear a small grunt of approval from him. 

stalks, i mean, lurks behind you and Kafka if you both go shopping together (somehow someway) and Kafka literally gives him hell for it, Silver Wolf records the whole interaction. 

doesn’t need sleep but if you like taking naps, he’ll lay beside you and “guard you while you’re most vulnerable”- his words, not mine.

dan heng: 

if you come in his room late at night while he’s busy with the data bank, he’ll read entries he found interesting until you fall asleep. 

you somehow convinced him to play a game with the rest of the express crew and it dissolved into chaos 30 minutes in- he’ll never admit it, but he’s super happy to just be in your presence. he got some blackmail photos of you from March, though.

holds pinkies with you instead of his whole hand because he gets a little nervous. if you bring it up to him, he will deny it with a slight scoff and then grab your hand and hold it for a while. 

in crowded places, he has a hand on the small of your back in order to guide you. also holds the back of your head (reference to belong w/ March) when he says “duck” and brings you down with him.

gets extremely clingy when tired but half the time he doesn’t realize he’s tired so he just holds you and acts like everything is normal. 

mydei: 

gets very touchy with you if he sees someone flirting with you. like… please restrain him before he hurts someone.

that being said, physical touch is definitely his love language. holding hands, arm around the waist, etc., are definitely go tos for you and him. 

can see him teaching you about the kremnoan language, or what’s left of it, anyway. 

you and him definitely have little library dates and you pick books out for the other to read. 

runs warm at night and is definitely your personal heater. will complain if your hands are cold before taking them into his own hands and warming them for you. 

phainon: 

can definitely see him as a giving gifts kinda guy as his love language. like he’ll see something in the marketplace and just impulsively buy it for you “it just reminded me of you!” in his words. can almost see the imaginary tail he has and it’s wagging. 

likes comparing hand sizes with you. he never understood the appeal of it until he started pursuing a relationship with you. 

doesn’t mind you tracing the sun on his neck/shoulder area and his scars. he may tense up a little if you don’t ask before you do it, but just being close to you is enough to make him happy. 

definitely your hype man- like if you feel insecure about an outfit you’re wearing or something else, he hypes you the fuck up and reassures you, it’s very sweet. 

really likes if you play with his hair (he’s also just touch starved and likes being touched in general) and mess with it a little bit. i can see Tribbie asking him if they can play with his hair and he’d feel bad if he said no, so he’s just used to someone playing or touching his hair.

[doctorroseficmarathon]

Sorry to go radio silent, but this is my first fic marathon as a COLLEGE GRADUATE!! Which means we can move the fic marathon back to September!

The Fic Marathon has returned to its original dates of September 1st through 30th which is why I am posting these so late into July. And now has been shortened back to 30 prompts. Before we get started I (@bigbad-tardis) wanted to reintroduce the fic marathon to anyone new to the event or to the fandom.

While the DoctorRose Fic Marathon may seem like a daunting task, that is not its purpose. While there are 30 prompts provided for the event, they are not necessary to follow and you don’t have to write for all 30 days. The point of the fic marathon is just to get people excited to write fics for the Doctor and Rose! In this way I aspire for the event to be beginner friendly! Write whatever you want! It can be any pairing of the Doctor and Rose, not limited to Doctors we saw Rose with on screen! There is also no limit to rating. Just label appropriately.

While the event is hosted on AO3, if you chose to write on fanfic.net or tumblr only this blog will still reblog your posts! The point is write! write! write!

Now onto the rules!

1. If you’re going to connect the stories, connect them via series instead of a single fic.

2. There is no set length or rating. Write however long or short you want your fic to be. All you can write is plenty.

3. Tag your fics with DoctorRose Fic Marathon on AO3! I’m done with trying to separate them by years. It’s easier this way.

4. Make sure to have fun!

Now onto the best part, the prompts!

The 2025 Prompts!

1. Dedication

One thing the Doctor and Rose show to each other is dedication, if not for their dedication, Rose wouldn’t have made it back.

2. Unconventional Reunion

We have the typical reunion, dimension hopping, TARDIS fixing, and the like, this prompt challenges the writer to be a little different in their approach. How is up to you.

3. On the Run

We see the Doctor and Rose run quite a bit, but we never see them on the run for a longer period of time than a night. What would happen if they did?

4. Confrontation

The Doctor and Rose always talk about their feelings, whether it be romantic or their genuine emotional states. What if that came to a head? Or the Doctor or Rose have to confront someone else? Lots to pull from.

5. Soulmates

This could be a good old fashioned soulmate au or anything in between. Some even say we make our own soulmates.

6. “You burn like the Sun”

You can explore the quote from Tooth and Claw or use it to your own ends.

7. Fake Dating

You know it, you love it (or hate it), let’s see the Doctor and Rose deal with their very real feelings while being in a very fake relationship.

8. Dreams

Explore the Doctor and Rose’s dreams whether they share them or not, and how that changes their relationship.

9. Caught in a Storm

What if the Doctor and Rose were forced to hunker down in a different location due to unforeseen weather conditions. Or stuck in the TARDIS because of an ion storm.

10. One Bed

THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED!

11. Classic

This could be a Classic Who reference, or it could be a reference to classic beauty, but Doctor and Rose will always be classic.

12. Bad Wolf as Disability

What if Bad Wolf left more of an impact on Rose than we saw or thought.

13. Episode Fix-It

Pick an episode you thought did the Doctor and Rose wrong and fix it! Whether that be Journey’s End, Girl in the Fireplace, Doomsday, or an episode of your choice.

14. Supernatural

Vampires, werewolves, mermaids, and fairies we love supernatural creatures here. And I think the Doctor and Rose should’ve ran into more than just the werewolf.

15. Memory

The Doctor and Rose’s memories are important to the facets of who they are, and with the Doctor’s long life they’ve been haunted for quite a while.

16. Guests of Honor

Whether that be a dinner, a banquet, or a ball, what if the Doctor and Rose were the guests of honor at an event?

17. The Stuff of Legend

The Tenth Doctor himself called them the stuff of legend, how did they become this way? How does that change the future and their legacies.

18. The Sword in the Stone

Excalibur was explored once in the Classic serial battlefield, but what if it happened again? Whether in a future planet or Arthurian nerds, a Merlin crossover, or actually going back in time and meeting King Arthur. The opportunities are endless.

19. Multiple Doctors

The CLASSIC TROPE of multiple Doctors in one fic, one of theeee tropes of all time, I have to include it nearly every time.

20. Canon Divergence

What if the plot diverged at certain point.

21. University

Whether the Doctor is a professor, Rose is a student, they meet in the same year, just set the fic in university or at a university.

22. Coffee Shop

This could be an AU, or the Doctor and Rose even just trying to order a drink in between alien invasions. Or a barista watching the Doctor and Rose fall in love through coffee.

23. Literature AU

I try to make most of the prompts canon adjacent, but this one is really meant to be an AU, pick between a piece of literature you like and put the Doctor and Rose in that situation.

24. Celebration

What if the Doctor and Rose were at a party? Or had something new to celebrate. This one is more simple but a bit more lowkey than Guests of Honor

25. Dimension Hopping

Just because traditional reunion fic isn’t on the prompts, doesn’t mean we can’t explore dimension hopping Rose and even what would happen if the Doctor saw her?

26. Messages

Texting, writing in chalk, emails, telepathy, explore the ways the Doctor and Rose communicate with each other.

27. Declaration(s) of Love

One of my favorite tropes and is it back again. We never got to see them say I love you properly.

28. “I would do anything for you”

Who would say this, and why?

29. Alien Cultural Differences

They meet a lot of aliens in their travels, but the Doctor is also an alien, explore the differences between Rose and the people she meets and knows and how that changes her and the Doctor’s relationship.

30. Devotion

This ties back to our first prompt, the Doctor and Rose show utter devotion to each other. We see it over and over again, show us.

And that’s our prompts for 2025! See you soon

P.S. a bonus prompt for whoever wants to write it and misses the 31 days

- Rescue

And follow docrosefic if you’re still on Twitter to get updates there!

You may interpret these prompts as strictly or as loosely as your heart desires. You can stick as close or as wide from the prompts as you want. Want to combine two? Go for it! Want to have some other characters cameo or tell a more ensemble tale? Sure - as long as it has Sonya and Johnny at the heart of it.

If you have any questions about prompts and submissions, send us an ask here! We look forward to seeing all the wonderful contributions!

FAQs:

1) Do I have to write in English?: No, you do not! This is a multi-language-friendly event. Post in your language of choice and users can machine translate if needed. If you choose to write in one language and later post translations to English, those translations can also be added to the AO3 collection.

2) Can I write an OT3 fic?: The mods support polyamorous shipping, however this week is for CageBlade specifically. We'd like that contributions focus on Sonya & Johnny's relationship.

3) Well, what if I write a breakup fic and have them hook up with other people? It's still CageBlade, right?: Not for this event. This week is a celebration of CageBlade and how awesome they are together. Want to give us some hurt/comfort, breakup & reconciliation, sure! Whump? Go wild! But we want to see them coming together and realizing how great they are as a couple.

4) What if I don’t like any of the prompts and have ideas of my own?: Then go ahead and write them! Want to explore their friendship before they hooked up? Want to write all AUs? Do you have some art ideas you’re just itching for an excuse to post and draw? The world is your oyster!

Stucky Historical Fiction: Mini Bang 2025

I’m so excited to finally share the schedule for Stucky Historical Fiction’s very first bang! 🏛️✨

A huge thank you to everyone who filled out the interest form—it was incredibly helpful in shaping the event. While we’re still not 100% sure we’ll be able to pull off a full bang (depending on artist participation), we’re going to do our absolute best!

And no matter what happens, everyone who signs up will still receive a custom fanfiction cover, just like in previous years.

Also! Since we’re drawing a bit of inspiration from Thunderbolts (and older, possibly grumpier Bucky), we’re opening the door to time travel for the first time ever in this event! ⏳

That means you can bring modern or post-canon characters into historical settings or pull historical versions forward in time—whatever suits your story. Just make sure history still plays a big role in the fic!

RULES

❌ DON’Ts

To keep this event respectful, fun, and inclusive for everyone, please do not:

Include incest or explicit underage content in your story or artwork.

Set your story/art in a fantasy kingdom or world that isn’t based on actual history or mythology (historical fantasy based on real time periods is okay!).

✅ This Year Only Exceptions:

Time travel is allowed!

Modern-day settings are also permitted—as long as they include a historical connection (e.g., time travel, flashbacks, or historical research as a plot element).

✅ DOs

Your work should:

Be complete by the final draft deadline.

Be beta read before posting (we'll help you find one if you need!).

Be informed by historical context, events, or figures—some research is encouraged, but remember, it’s fanfiction, not a thesis. Do your best and have fun!

Be respectful of the cultures, histories, and mythologies you’re engaging with.

Meet the minimum word count of 5,000 words. You’re more than welcome to write beyond the 5,000-word minimum if you’re feeling inspired—we’ve always loved long fics! But please don’t stress. Whether it’s 5k or 50k, do what’s realistic and fun for you.

For artists: submit at least one complete piece tied to a story or the event.

🏺 Acceptable Time Periods:

We welcome stories and art set in any of the following timeframes:

Prehistoric

Ancient Civilizations (Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc.)

Viking Age

Medieval Era

English History (Tudor, Regency, Victorian, etc.)

American History (Revolutionary War, Civil War, etc.)

World Wars I & II

1920s – 1990s

Cold War

Modern Day (only for this event!)

💬 Community Expectations

Hey @everyone — we know you're here because you love history and stories just as much as we do. We encourage thoughtful discussion and debate—but let’s keep it respectful.

History and mythology often carry deep personal and cultural significance. Everyone brings their own perspective and background, and that’s something we want to honor.

It’s okay to share your opinion.

It’s okay to disagree respectfully.

It’s okay to interpret history or myth differently.

Please remember: we’re here to tell stories and have fun doing it. Keep conversations kind, inclusive, and open-minded. There’s room for everyone at this table.

💙 With love, —The @mods

WELCOME TO THE INAUGURAL PEACHES AND PLUMS BIG BANG EVENT!

What does that mean?  Well, the short answer is a Magician’s Big Bang.  The longer answer is probably best answered in our Rules and FAQ page.  That’s where you’ll find all the details on what a Big Bang means, at least in this context.  Other fandoms and events may have different interpretations, so please, really, check out the FAQ.

There, now that you’ve done that and have some idea what THIS Big Bang is about, in general terms, we can get into the smaller details.

For our opening we’ve decided to run a Reverse Bang.  There are several reasons for that, most of which fall on the modding side of things, but also because it’s a smaller commitment which makes it great for a starter.  What that actually means is that artists will sign up first.  They will submit between one and two new original works.  Each work will go into a list of works for the event, and then writers will sign up and submit a list of which works they would like to write a 10k+ work inspired by.  Artists and writers will then be paired up based on those selections.  Now, Artists, this doesn’t mean that you can’t submit more art for your writer's work, if you so choose, but it isn’t required.  Just the original work, which can be tweaked with the writer's work if so desired, but again, isn’t required.  You could technically be done once your art is submitted to the selection pool.  It is lovely community, though, to be around for your writer to at the very least toss some ideas at, or pick your brain about your artwork.  And just to chat with other creators in general.

Writers, your job, once you’ve been given a partner, is to create a fic inspired by that piece of art.  For a Reverse Bang we’ve lowered the required word count to a 10k minimum, which is a large part of why we decided to start with a Reverse Bang.  Something a little smaller to let everyone get the feel for the event.

We will set up lines of communication between each set of partners for this event, be that email or discord.  So please be prepared to offer up one if not both of those methods of communication for your partner.

And that’s about it.  As the FAQ says, if you have any other questions please reach out, either here on tumblr or by emailing the mods at peachesandplumsbigbang @ gmail.com .

January 2025 CPNs round-up 🚥

The first month of the year went by just like that?! but we are so lucky cause in 1 month we got 2 LRLG submissions and 2 events that they both attended. What a great way to start 2025!

• starting off the year strong with CCTV series new year greetings from our dear actors

• guo jing x xie yun new cp

• i am not here nye performance candies

• coco crush ring importance for bobo’s performance during nye 💍

• 010225 lrlg submission translation and the cpns involved

• amiri logo x wo men writing

• paparazzi that the last time he saw xz chatting so much was in 2018 with wyb

• the 2018 dinner with cql crew video released 🥹🙏🏼 - there is some side cpn to this cause it was released not even 30 minutes after ybo refuted a rather absurd dating rumor. Liu dachui is the pap that released it and he is a v popular blogger. DH also guested on his channel before so you can say they have some friendly connection. i know bloggers like LDC are a pain in the ass for companies but you gotta keep your enemies close am i right? so some cpfs are thinking that the timing of release was to take some attention away from the hs. which didn’t actually cause the HS was up for a long time. take this with a grain of salt. 🍉

• wyb’s main accessory for his NYE performance was a hat brooch. this reminds us of the whole hat cpn😂

• same light leak editing design for these two videos between ybo and xzs. it’s not a secret that we think they sometimes share staff when it comes to editing. and it’s a rainbow? 🌈

of course other artists has access to this video editor design or whatever. anyone could make it logically. but why are the similarities always between them?

• coincidental matching years later

• speculations from xz’s portrait magazine interview

• weibo night candies part one / part two

there is also this that i wasn’t able to add, how they have the same staff assisting them. idk if this person also assisted other artists but it’s interesting how she was assigned to both xz and wyb.

there’s also some unsavory twisting the narrative thing that solos are doing regarding the seats. bec they are so obssessed with us and our candies lol.

• cpns from xz’s portrait magazine feature

• ybo has a movie ticket theme

• why do they twist their feet like that 🙃🙃🙃

• minor cpns from china internet and audiovisual festival

• 1/28/25 lrlg 🎉🧧🧧🧧 - this one is mostly incoherent because of the very random convos with no context. which is the norm for lrlg. but there are sweet moments too! they care for each other so much 🥹🥹🥹🥹

• 1/29, jam hsiao reposted his collab stage with yibo and bobo commented with this:

mr xiao! hahahahahaha! what a coincidence. of course we are just clowning!

-END.

See you all next month! 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

Event Info: Full Guidebook & Rules | Artist Guide | Writer Guide Contact The Mods: ask | discord | email: thedragonagebig@gmail.com

All writer-specific deadlines, deliverables, guidelines, and more can be found in the WRITER GUIDE. Please bookmark this for your reference. The information below is abbreviated.

TIMELINE

All Deadlines are “by end of day” (EOD) in any timezone.

July 14: Nonzero Word Count Soft Check-In Due July 31: Pitches Due August 1-September 15: Interview Scheduling OR Questionnaire Submissions Window August 8: Writer 7500 Word Cut Off Due August 14: All Teams Formed & Connected September 15: Artist & Writer Check In Due October 31: All Works Due November 1: Tumblr Promos Begin, 1 team/day

There will be a 2025 DA Big Bang Google Calendar that you can add to your own calendar - link coming soon!

WORK REQUIREMENTS

Writers & Projects Start Anonymous: do not share your ideas publicly. You are not allowed to discuss your project outside of the SECRET writer-only chat in the discord. This is to make the artist pitch claims blind and fair.

Your Final Product: Writers commit to producing a completed, new fanfiction PRIMARILY for the Dragon Age Media of at minimum 25,000 words. This work must be completed and posted to the AO3 collection by October 31, 2025. Writers who fail to reach the minimum will not be included in the Bang Collection, nor advertised by the Bang. This is out of fairness to all writers undertaking this challenge.

Longfics can be anything you like, within our sparing content guidelines! They are not constrained by prompts, DNWs, etc. There is no maximum word count, no limit to the fandom(s) (in case of crossovers), and no restriction on max rating.

Written works must be new:

They cannot be rewrites of existing fanfictions, or compilations of existing fanfictions, or reposts of existing fanfictions, that have been posted on tumblr, AO3, FFN, Livejournal, Wordpress, or other platforms.

Written works must be primarily for the Dragon Age franchise, even for crossovers:

“Geralt of Rivia with Templar Abilities, but still in The Continent, and no Dragon Age characters appear” is probably skirting the line, but “Geralt of Rivia is sent into Thedas” or “Cullen Rutherford as a Witcher in an AU version of Thedas” are probably okay.

Written works must be at least 25,000 words, and complete, when posted:

Works must be uploaded to AO3

Works must be submitted to the 2025 Big Bang collection

Works must be completed (no new chapters or significant revisions to be added)

Writers agree to meeting minimum checkpoint progress, and clearly communicating progress (or lack thereof) to the moderators of the event. These are listed in the Timeline.

DELIVERABLES AND DUE DATES

Sign Ups: June 1-June 30

On the Google Form, open from June 1-June 30, Writers must provide:

▸ contact information ▸ a non-binding 1-5 sentence explanation of their fic idea ▸ an estimated length (25k+) ▸ an estimated Rating ▸ if you wish to be added to the secret writer discord channels

Soft Check-In: July 1-July 14

On the Google Form, open from July 1-July 14, Writers must provide a current, non-zero word count. Any non-zero word count received by July 14 will qualify you to submit a Pitch.

Writer Pitches: July 15-July 31

On the Google Form, open from July 15-July 31, writers will submit their project pitches for Artists to claim. The information will then be anonymized and posted to the DABB 2025 Pitch Collection for Artists to peruse and claim. The mod team will then finalize teams.

Cut-Off Check-In: July 14-August 8

This will be a Google Form. Even if the fic was requested by an artist, we will not match artists with a fic that has not met the minimum 7,500 words by August 8, 2025.

Team Collaboration: August 14-October 31

Upon matching, Writers and Artists will be connected over email. From there, Teams can decide what platform is best for their communication. Please keep in mind our privacy recommendation.

In the event that the event has more artists sign up than writers, all fics will enter a lottery for the chance to receive a second artist match (forming a Team of Three).

Writers must send the latest draft of their writing to their Artist partner(s). It can be any length (7500 words+), and in any condition, but the artist needs something to go off of for their part of the Bang. If an Artist does not receive a draft of the fic after 72 hours, the mods will investigate. If it is found that the Writer has not met target word counts, they will be disqualified from the event and banned from future participation.

Writers should be in regular, private contact with their Artist partner(s). Writers should provide as many written excerpts as the artist (reasonably) requests.

While your partnership is not necessarily anonymous, your work should not be shared/streamed publicly until the whole fic/art combo is posted on your reveal day!

Submissions: October 19-31

Writers must add their work to the AO3 Collection for the 2025 Dragon Age Big Bang when finished, AND, via a Google Form open October 19-31, ONE REPRESENTATIVE from each time must submit material for the Tumblr promo posts. Decide your team representative ahead of time! The full version AND a square crop of the art must be submitted by ONE REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR TEAM for the final tumblr promotional post. Please read more about image submission, hosting, formatting, and cropping, here.

Become Your Best Version Before 2025 - Day 9

Auditing Your Relationships

Hey Goddesses! We're going to talk about something really important, but often overlooked, our relationships.

Our connections with others play a massive role in our happiness and growth. But life gets busy, and sometimes we put those connections on autopilot. That’s why today is all about doing a relationship audit. Think of it as checking in on your “connection bank” and making sure the important ones are thriving.

Pull out your journal (or open your Notes app), and let’s dig in.

1.Reflect on Your Circle

Ask yourself: Who are the people in my life right now? This isn’t about judging anyone; it’s about awareness. Write down:

People you talk to daily.

Those you lean on when life gets tough.

People you love but maybe haven’t connected with in a while.

Now ask: How do these relationships make me feel? Energized? Loved? Drained?

To keep it simple, create three columns in your journal:

Nurture: Relationships you cherish and want to pour into.

Reassess: Connections that feel one-sided or unhealthy.

Reconnect: Those you’ve unintentionally drifted away from but miss.

2.Strengthen Your Core Relationships

Think about the people in your Nurture column. These are your VIP, your people. Ask yourself:

When was the last time I told them how much they mean to me?

Have I been truly present when we’re together?

Now, pick one small thing to do for someone this week:

Send a random “thinking of you” text.

Plan a coffee date or video call.

Leave a sticky note of appreciation on their desk or mirror.

Sometimes, the smallest gestures speak the loudest.

3.Address Strained Connections

Relationships in the Reassess column can be tricky. Maybe it’s a friend who constantly cancels plans or someone whose energy doesn’t match yours anymore.

Here’s the thing: it’s okay to outgrow connections. It doesn’t mean you don’t care about them; it just means you’re prioritizing your emotional health.

This is where practicing boundaries comes in.

For example:

If a friend is always negative, limit how much time you spend with them.

If someone constantly crosses your boundaries, have an honest conversation.

It might feel uncomfortable at first, but protecting your peace is so worth it.

4.Rekindle Faded Connections

We all have people in our Reconnect column, friends or family who’ve been pushed to the edges of our busy lives. Reaching out can feel awkward at first, but it’s amazing how quickly the warmth can come back.

Try sending a simple message like:

“Hey, I was just thinking about you and realized how much I miss our chats. How are you doing?”

“Life has been so busy, but I’d love to catch up. Are you free next week?”

Sometimes, it just takes one brave step to reignite a meaningful connection.

5.Check in with Yourself

Let’s not forget the most important relationship: the one with yourself.

Ask:

Am I showing myself the same love and compassion I give to others?

Do I make time for activities that light me up?

Am I proud of how I’m showing up in my relationships?

Make sure you schedule me time this week. Even 30 minutes can make a huge difference. Take a walk, read a book, or journal about what’s on your mind.

So basically...

You don’t need to have perfect relationships to feel fulfilled. What matters is that you’re trying, that you’re showing up with love, intention, and care.

Let’s commit to nurturing the connections that matter, letting go of what doesn’t serve us, and pouring back into ourselves. This isn’t about being perfect; it’s about being present.

Tell me: which step are you starting with today? I’d love to hear how it goes, let me know in the comments or send me a message.

See you tomorrow for Day 10!

♡ ☆:.｡ Keep glowing, babes! ♡ ☆:.｡ With love, Goddess Inner Glow.
