#prompt faq

[team-chaotix-week]

They're finally here!!!

Team Chaotix Week 2025:

May 1st - 7th

---

Day 3 has two prompts because I know some may not have read/don't like the comics. You can choose one or the other, or do both

Day 7 is a free prompt! Let your imagination run wild!

If you have any questions, comments or anything else, the ask box is always open!

Please use the event tags so I can see your posts. Feel free to tag the blog as well.

Just a reminder, this week focuses on friendship and family dynamics, and welcomes all types of media (excluding AI generated). However, since the event is family/friendship focused, please don't submit shipping content.

Not all three characters need to be there to fill prompts, and you can start working on the prompts as soon as they're out. However, please try to withhold posting them until the week of the event itself.

And lastly, huge thanks to my sister for making this poster after I explained the new sonic hyperfixation starting with a 'dont judge me' text.

[cagebladeweek]

*whispers* hey. hey you guys. we're doing it again this year! @wandering-koyote did the art this year that we've tucked into the banner. This year, the 1995 movie is 30(!??!!) years old, so we've pulled some prompts from the classic. All the details + text version below the cut.

The Fourth(!?!?) Annual CageBlade Week!

Event Info

Dates: 16-22 June 2025 (Mon-Sun)

All forms of fanworks will be accepted - fanfic, fanart, gifset, playlist whatever it may be! 

If we somehow missed your post after the end of the event, let us know so we can reblog it! We might be a little slow on the day-to-day but we don’t want to miss anything. The only things we won’t be reblogging are NSFW with minors and explicit noncon. We will reblog late posts.

Make sure to tag your posts with #cagebladeweek (within the first 5 tags, thanks algorithm) and/or @ this blog so we can find and reblog everything.

Participate one day or every day - it doesn’t matter! If you post on an external site (AO3, FFN, DeviantArt) please at least drop a link here so we can reblog it and promote it. There will be an AO3 Collection started closer to the date.

Prompts:

Day 1: vintage / lyrics

Day 2: island / AU of choice

Day 3: rescue / horror

Day 4: $500 sunglasses / space

Day 5: dressing up / wrong turn

Day 6: hope / ruin

Day 7: Free Day!

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!

[sapphic-severance-week]

Sapphic Severance Week

Sapphic Severance Week will run between 24th - 30th March as voted. What a way to celebrate the finale. If you have any questions or you think I’m missing something let me know! Asks, messages, and reblogs are on :)

Rules:

Must be a sapphic ship or focused on a sapphic character.

No AI. At all. It isn’t a fanwork if it isn’t done by a fan.

FAQs:

Is this a fanfiction event only?

Nope. Any kind of fanworks will be greatly appreciated.

Do I need to share something every day?

Also no. It’s whatever grabs your fancy.

Do I need to include every prompt from a day?

You can use as little or as many of them as you’d like! My only request is to not put prompts from different days into the one work.

What about NSFW?

Any kind or genre of work is welcome as long as it's appropriately tagged.

Collection/Tags

AO3 Collection -

Sapphic_Severance_Week (sswk) link

Tumblr Tags -

#sapphicseveranceweek2025 and/or

#sswk25

I will be going through the tag at the end of every day of the event and reblogging any new posts :)

Prompts

Since Severance is so contained, I’ve gone with two options that can be interpreted in many ways and then one that is a bit more specific.

My goal when making the list was to choose one prompt per day but if inspiration strikes who am I to stop you? But please try to avoid (purposely) using prompts from different days in the same work.

Day 1: Liar — Memory — Soulmates AU

Day 2: Fear — Loyalty — Time Travel/Loop

Day 3: Regrets — Home — Unrequited

Day 4: Pain — Future — Codependency

Day 5: Blood — Hope — Hurt/Comfort

Day 6: Secret — Rescue — Outies & Innies Everywhere*

Day 7: Free Day

*outie and innie switch-a-roo! Does both outies have a meet cute on the outside? Does one outie sneak down to the severance floor and find out their innie is in love? Does an innie sneak above? Or has your mind cooked something else up?

Tamlin Week 2025: Rules, Prompts, and FAQ

First of all, we'd like to thank you all for the support and prompt suggestions! We'd also like to thank @geniemillies for our brand new icon and banner; it's so lovely, so make sure to send them all your love!

The prompts have been chosen for Tamlin Week 2025, which will run Sunday, April 13 - Saturday, April 19. Every day will have two prompts for you to choose from.

This post is intended to serve as a masterpost for the entire event. It will include dates, prompts, rules, and a FAQ. Make sure to click the read more to get ALL the information!

Day 1; Sunday, April 13: Forgiveness/Change

Day 2; Monday, April 14: Dark Spring/Spring Mythology & Celebrations

Day 3; Tuesday, April 15: Polycules & Platonics/Worship

Day 4; Wednesday, April 16: Powers/Hair

Day 5; Thursday, April 17: Biting/Chest

Day 6; Friday, April 18: Spy/Warband

Day 7; Saturday, April 19: Free Day/Crossovers & Alternate Universe

All works must focus on Tamlin! Any and all ships are allowed, as long as the ship with Tamlin is at the forefront. You are also welcome to create general, non-ship content for him.

Any and all gender/sexuality headcanons are allowed! And no ship-bashing, please.

There are 2 prompts for each day. You can choose one or both of them to inspire your work. The last day includes a Free Day, so go crazy! If none of the prompts speak to you, feel free to create your own Tamlin content on any day. The prompts are meant to promote creativity, not restrict it. If you have questions about any of the prompts, you can message us.

NSFW/Mature content is allowed, as long as you tag everything appropriately and follow the rules of each platform. So on tumblr, that means following their guidelines for NSFW images. On AO3, that means giving your fic the appropriate rating and tags.

Any kind of creative content is encouraged! Fanfiction, fanart, edits, playlists, headcanons, moodboards, ANYTHING!

That being said, AI art is not permitted, and will not be reblogged.

Works must be created specifically for this event; previously published works will not be reblogged. New chapter updates of previously existing fics are allowed, as long as they are posted for the first time during this Tamlin Week event.

(click under the readmore for FAQ, more resources, and last year's masterpost)

How do I participate in Tamlin Week?

Create your content and post it on tumblr. If you post on AO3, make sure to share the link on tumblr. Also make sure to add it to the Tamlin Week AO3 collection, which will be posted about later. Tag this blog in the main body of your post (@tamlinweek). In the tags, tag "tamlinweek2025"

If we don’t reblog your post within 24 hours, feel free to send us a message with the link! I’m sure we all know how unreliable the tumblr tagging system is, we would never intentionally not reblog someone’s post.

If I’m not a creator, how can I support Tamlin Week?

The best way to support content creators leading up to and during Tamlin Week is to let them know you support them! Reblog and comment on their work, send Tamlin content into this blog for us to post, etc. We’ll be reblogging Tamlin content from now up until the week itself. Supporting that work now will encourage creators for the event week itself.

Who is in charge of Tamlin Week?

This blog and the event are being run by @goforth-ladymidnight and @praetorqueenreyna, as well as a new moderator @highlordofkrypton.

I have a question that isn’t here!

Feel free to send us asks, we’d love to hear from you all! They can be questions, headcanons, ideas, or anything else! If you have a question you’d like us to answer privately, be sure to let us know in the ask. Otherwise, all other asks will be published on our blog.

[princessbrunette]

okay this might sound a bit odd but like what do you think each of the boys’ dicks would look like? like girth, colour, if it’s veiny and stuff yk?

i answered this somewhere in detail but i can’t find it </333

john b is the biggest in my opinion, like obscenely large and thick with a small patch of brown curls at the base and veins in his pubic area running down to his dick because it’s so heavy. huge balls too. pretty velvety mauve tip <3

rafe second biggest, and it’s pretty close. very smooth and he keeps it fairly hairless down there because he just prefers it that way. super clean and you can tell bc it tastes really clean (described it as plain avocado last time 😭) his dick gets super pinky red and flushed towards the tip !!

third biggest is pope, also very pretty n clean — small amount of black curly hair at the base and a milky mauvy pinkish tip. heavy balls. not too veiny but some !! on the thicker side for sure

jj’s isn’t small at all but his dick is more long than it is thick. messy blonde pubes. cum tastes like battery acid but we love him anyway. his dick is the prettiest baby pink colour esp at the tip like if you’re gonna get your nails done the colour of any of their tips it’s gotta be his. very kissable.

[bloodyjohan]

Welcome to Johan Week 2025!

August 17th to August 23rd, 2025

You might be wondering 'what is Johan Week'? It's a week celebrating my original character not only in his ACOTAR iteration, but in so many other universes that I have plugged him in. There is only one moderator for this week, and one expected participant — both of them are me, @highlordofkrypton!

Anyone is welcome to participate. There are prompts below, just make sure to tag @bloodyjohan so I can reblog it here and use the tag #johan week 2025 and #nyx johannes archeron (even though he isn't always Nyx, that's just where all his content is now!). It's meant to be silly, self-indulgent and all around fun.

You can also submit to my AO3 Collection!

You'll find more information below!

ART CREDITS

Icon — @kererek

Header — @copypastus @geniemillies @kererek @lucychanart @darero-art @kivizzaofficial @highlordofkrypton

Before being introduced as Nyx in cosmogeny, Johan has existed for decades both in my mind and in different AUs either in WIPs or RPs. This event will cover the multiverse of Johan, and different iterations which is why the prompts are so large!

DAY 1: JOHAN'S YOUTH

Johan's childhood is more or less the same in all universes with slight differences that make his life better or worse. In the ACOTAR universe, he was raised by absent parents. In the PACRIM universe, he was adopted by two loving fathers. In the WITCHER universe, he was taken and remade by the Viper School. Despite these differences, Johan's demons and afflictions follow him everywhere.

DAY 2: JOHAN AUs & HEADCANONS

Let's put this guy in situations. You know those moments where you have scenarios, or universes that you haven't quite fleshed out yet? (Hello, Teacher!Johan x Student!Tamlin AU~) What about the headcanons that are weaved into the story, but you just wanna put it in black and white on the page? I've got a ton of those!

I'm also inviting anyone who wants to participate in the week to send me an assumption about Johan and I will confirm/deny it!

DAY 3: JOHAN ART, MEMES & CHARACTER SHEETS

The tricky thing about OCs is that you need to make or commission the art you want to see of your character! I've got a bunch of work done for him, and I want to keep them all in the same place: this blog! (I'm might even try to have more done as a treat for me to me.) The same goes for silly character sheets I've filled out... and I'm might drop some new ones of my own making for you guys to fill out. Don't even get me started on memes...

DAY 4: JOHAN X READER

This is a gift from me to everyone who enjoys Johan! It will probably take me months to write the one Johan x Reader, and will be the treat of the day for you all. A little palate cleanser and break between all the content.

DAY 5: YOU OR YOUR CHARACTERS MEET JOHAN

ORIGINAL CHARACTER HAVERS, RISE UP! There's quite a few people who have OCs who know Johan, so I think it would be fun to have a day to focus on those interactions. They can be headcanons, discussions, or even building up situations with him. Please remember, Johan is a grumpy and extremely jealous guy. He will bite and take a chunk off...

DAY 6: JOHAN REQUESTS

A few months before the event, I will make a post encouraging everyone to send requests of what they would like to see in terms of Johan content. You can send asks at any time, but I'll do my best to keep full-length writing (or my really ugly doodles) for this day! Maybe I'll respond sooner as teasers for the week, hihi 🤭

DAY 7: FREE DAY

I don't know what happens here. Tears of joy? Gratitude for anyone who participates or hangs around for this nonsense? Finishing up fics that I wasn't able to? It'll be a surprise to me and you!

Don't see the answer to your question? Send me an ask!

CAN ANYONE PARTICIPATE IN JOHAN WEEK?

Yes! I primarily made Johan Week to be self-indulgent and give myself an excuse to share all the content I have about my blorbo. There are a lot of people who love him, so anyone is welcome to participate as long as the content is made with love and in good faith. It's a daunting feeling to let people play with your OC!

WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR JOHAN WEEK?

The same rules apply as any other appreciation week: respect others, no hate, "don't like, don't read", tag your content appropriately, etc. I will also add: I'd prefer it if (romantic/sexual) shipping was centered around Johan's existing ships (i.e. Tamlin, Eskel, OCs I've already discussed with, etc.) unless otherwise specified.

HOW DO I SUBMIT SOMETHING TO JOHAN WEEK?

Just tag this account @bloodyjohan and use #johan week 2025 and #nyx johannes archeron. You can also submit fanfiction to my AO3 Collection.

WHAT KIND OF CONTENT CAN I SUBMIT TO JOHAN WEEK?

Anything! I will probably be posting written content with some very ugly doodles, but anything is welcome. I'm just happy people are interested in playing with Johan! I will say: I don't want anyone spending money on Johan and commissions will be frowned upon 🫵 Only I should spend on my blorbo!! GIVE ME THINGS MADE WITH YOUR OWN TWO HANDS!!!

For any other questions, feel free to send me an ask!

Will you promote my work on Tumblr? If you want us to, you can either tell us in the server, or put a note at the end of your fic that you'd like us to make a post about it.

Can it be a new chapter on an already existing fic? No. We want to promote creating new Birdflash works

Can my submission for the week be a multi-chaptered work? As long as it's new, absolutely! Whether that's one fic with a chapter for each day, or the first chapter of an unfinished fic, doesn't matter! We just ask that the fic have up to the part inspired by the prompt posted on that day, whether that's chapter 1 or 20.

Where should I post NSFW art? the best place would be blusky. You can follow out blusky account and tag us if you post something for any of the events run through the birdflash server. We will repost it there!

[advantage-tennisblr]

the calendar and faq are now live! here's a taste:

what’s a prompt fest?

a prompt fest is an event where tennis rpf enjoyers submit and fill prompts for fic, art, and more. anyone can submit a prompt, and anyone can create a fill. you don’t have to sign up in advance or "claim" a prompt, and you can fill as many prompts as you want.

how does it work?

you think up tennis rpf prompts and submit them through a very simple form *you can also send an ask, but be aware that asks sometimes get lost

admins release the prompts in two rounds

you pick your favorite prompts and create fic/art/edits/graphics/other cool idea you have

you post your prompt fill(s) beginning on a certain date (see the calendar)

tag your post “advantage tennisblr fill” for the event blog to rb (← optional but encouraged!)

check out everyone else’s fills in the fill masterpost!

2024 FAQs

(Since tumblr mobile isn't exactly known for its reliability regarding links at the top of the blog...) We made an updated text post of the event's FAQs. There have been no major changes. We just wanted a text post that reflected the Sicktember 2024 event information.

Sicktember 2023-2021 Past Prompts Text Post [Link]

* What is Sicktember?

-Sicktember is a fan-run,  September-long hurt/comfort prompt event focused on sick characters and their caregivers.

* What fandoms can participate?

- Every fandom is welcome to participate, including Original Characters and Original Works!

* When does Sicktember begin?

-The idea is to have a prompt a day for the entire month of September, but that’s more of a guideline than an actual rule.

* Do I have to write all 30 prompts in order to participate?

- Not at all! Don’t feel pressured into writing all 30 prompts. You can write as few or as many as you want. This list is meant to spark inspiration, not cause any undue stress.

* Do I have to write all of the prompts separately or can I combine them?

- You can write all of the prompts in one continuous fic, write them all separately or combine a handful at a time. Do what works for you!  Just, please, specify which prompts inspired your work.

* Do I have to write the prompts in order?

-No. You can write them in whatever order you’d like, but again, please identify which prompts your work is based on.

* Can I combine with prompts from other events?

-As long as the other events you’re participating in are okay with it, so are we! Combine all you’d like!

* I don’t write but I can draw. Can I participate?

-Yes! All types of content creators are welcome to join in the fun.

* What if I don’t finish the prompts by the end of September?

- No problem! Take your time and create at your own pace!  There’s no rush. But also keep in mind that you are not obligated to fill each and every prompt.

* Are there any restrictions?

- There are only two major restrictions. No sexually explicit material and no illegal or non-consensual relationships.

    - No explicit descriptions of sexual encounters (smut/erotica/pornography)

           - Innuendo and passing mentions of sexual encounters are okay. 

    -No romantic relationships between adults and minors, relationships that are incestuous, and/or relationships that are stockholm syndrome based.

            - As a hurt/comfort-focused event, we would like to keep the main focus of this particular event on the sick character and their caregiver/caretaker

 -This also allows us to leave this event open to a broader range of participants.

*What if I want to use one of the prompts to write something that doesn’t fit within the event rules?

 - We understand that inspiration comes from many places and we certainly aren’t here to tell you what you should and shouldn’t write.

 - If your prompt-inspired content is outside of the event’s restrictions, then it is no longer for the event, and it should not be associated with it. At that point, your content is for you, and all of the people who would enjoy it!

     - In this situation, we ask that you please do not use the event tags, submit the content to the blog, or enter the content into the AO3 collection.

*Can dark themes, character death and/or swearing be included in my content?

- there are no rules against the use of heavy subjects or character death or swearing

-All we ask is that you tag your content appropriately so that readers can decide whether or not that’s the kind of content they want to read.

*There aren’t enough alternate prompts for me. Can you add more? Can I add my own?

- If you need additional alternate prompts let us know! We would be happy to discuss the potentiality of adding one or two more if the need to do so becomes apparent.

-You are also welcome to suggest an additional alternate prompt if you have an idea of what you would like to use. However, there is no guarantee that it will be added to the official list.

-But also, please keep in mind that you are not obligated to write thirty prompts. If you find that there are only a few or perhaps only a single prompt on the list that you’re comfortable working with, then that is absolutely fine! No pressure!

* Once the event begins, will projects be collected anywhere?

- Authors who post their work on the Archive of Our Own (AO3) website are welcome and encouraged to add their work to the collection, ‘Sicktember 2024’ 

- Content Creators who post or cross-post on Tumblr are encouraged to use the tag #sicktember 2024 so that others can find and enjoy their work.

*How do I post my work to the collection on Archive of Our Own (AO3)?

-When you create a draft or edit your work, there is a section titled [Associations]

-In the section, you will find a text box labeled [Post to Collections/Challenges]  

-That is where you will type,  Sicktember_2024  (It should auto-fill for you to make a selection. However if it doesn’t, you can type the name of the collection into the bar- exactly as you see it here- and it will still post appropriately.) 

- You can also post to the collection by using the ‘post collection’ button on the top right corner of the Sicktember_2024 collection’s page. 

*Keep in mind that (a) the collection will not be open until September and (b) your work will not be added to the collection until you hit [Post]

* Will you be promoting/featuring completed projects on Tumblr?
