Hi and welcome to the introductory post for the pan-fandom Keep Fandom Weird event.

Sometimes you get stuck in a rut. Sometimes fandom at large gets stuck in one long hard rut. Stop snickering, this is a serious topic. Do you ever long to read and write some classic fandom weirdness? A modern no powers coffee shop AU has its place, but weird shit has its place too. And that place is here, @keepfandomweird dot com.

This is a bingo event! You sign up, you get a bingo card, you get to working. Any fandom, no rating limits, anything you're into. There will be an AO3 collection you can add your stories to.

Stay tuned for more!

Pride Things Weekly Themes

Each week of June has a theme for you to play with, to break the mold and subvert the expectations!

Week 1 - AUs

Anything goes as long as it's queer! Base your AUs in queer culture and media, or give a gay twist to your favorite romcom! Examples: drag performers AU, Twilight but it's T4T, But I'm a Cheerleader AU

Week 2 - Gender

Explore, express, serve! Clothing, hair, make up, tattoos, surgeries, social situations. Any aspect of gender you can think of. Examples: androgyny, enjoying feminine/masculine activities, binding

Week 3 - Fairytales

Break the cis/heteronormative prophecies! Make your favorite fairytale queer, or make your own! Examples: The Little Merman, Shrek but the princess turns into a prince at night, True Love's Kiss from the maid

Week 4 - Out of the box

The main focus are unconventional relationships - polyamory, queerplatonic, beards, lavender marriages, ace/aro relationships and more! But if you want to focus on other underrepresented queer topics, go for it! Examples: polycule, my partner's Dom, I don't do sex but my girlfriend has a buddy for that

The 29th and 30th of June are for catching up if you didn't make it in time for one of the theme weeks!

You can sign up for the Pride Things Mini Bingo until May 31st.

BatBoysxPrompts - The Only Fish In The Sea Steddie Prompts - Mermaid Eddie / Alternate Universe : Royal/Medieval / Tropes : Arranged Marriage / Image Prompt : Shark + Stranger Things Monster Calendar 2025 - 1st Monster of May : Mermaid - 31.05.2025

Here's my contribution to @batboysxprompts's The Only Fish In The Sea Steddie Mermay event and to the @stmonstercalendar's 'Mermaid' prompt that I decided to combine 😊💙🧜‍♀️

Stranger Things Monster Calendar : Monster of December - Krampus / Monster of January - Dragon / Monster of February - Incubus / Monster of March : Rusałka / Monster of April - Banshee / Monster of May - 2nd Monster - Cecaelia

Princes Steddie with mermaid!Eddie arranged marriage - 31.05.2025

I was a bit inspired by The Little Mermaid ending scene where Ariel's father gets to the ship to hug her by using his powers and the water. I went with a blacktip reef shark for Eddie's design and some jewelry made out of coral :3 (Yes, I decided to replace the bats tattoo with bat rays xD)

Done using ink pens, alcohol markers, gel pens, graphite pencils and Photoshop for the background, lens flare, water splashes, jewelry and embellishments on Steve's clothes

Rage, Grief & Other Quiet Explosions

(Emotional meltdowns that don’t look like meltdowns, but absolutely are)

 The “Smiling Too Much” Grief Your character’s entire world is on fire, and they’re asking if anyone wants more wine. That’s not denial, it’s an effort to hold the damn pieces together. Smile like a glue gun. Watch them crack.

The “Not Crying At the Funeral” Breakdown They don't shed a tear. They organize everything. Perfect speech. Perfect outfit. But a week later, they scream into the laundry basket over a missing sock. That’s the moment. That’s the eulogy.

 The “Silent Dinner Table” Fight No yelling. No slamming doors. Just chewing. Clinking silverware. The kind of silence that tastes like metal. Let the reader feel the air shrink.

 The “Polite but Dead Inside” Apology They say “Sorry” because it’s expected, not because they’re ready. Their voice doesn’t crack. Their eyes don’t meet yours. This isn’t healing. This is a peace treaty with no peace.

The “I Don’t Want to Talk About It” Detour The one where they ask about your day mid-sob. Redirect. Deflect. “Let’s not talk about me.” That’s rage choked by shame. Write it like it’s shoving itself into a smaller box.

 The “Obsessively Productive” Meltdown New projects. New hobbies. Suddenly they’re running marathons, baking sourdough, fixing the garage door. Because if they sit still for one second, they’ll break. Keep the camera on them when they finally sit.

The “Unsent Letters” Grief They write it all down. Every damn emotion. Then burn it. Or delete it. Or hide it in a shoebox under their bed. It’s not for closure. It’s to let the ghosts know they were seen.

The “I’m Fine” That Echoes Delivered too fast. Too sharp. You could bounce a quarter off it. “I’m fine” isn’t fine. It’s the dam cracking. Listen to the echo. Let another character hear the hollowness.

The “Hyper-Logical Rant” Rage They argue with spreadsheets. With perfect bullet points. Cold rage—like ice, not fire. “I’m not mad, I’m just saying…” But that’s a lie. They’re volcanic under that clipboard.

 The “Laughing in the Middle of the Breakdown” Moment That bitter, hysterical laugh. The kind that sounds more like sobbing with teeth. Let it come at the worst time. Let it shock even them. That’s emotion refusing to stay boxed in.

With more and more Ao3 authors restricting their works to the archive (due to AI scraping), they're going to be losing guest interaction. And probably generally feeling down because. You know. AI is stealing their hard work.

So! Now is a great time to stop by your favorite authors/stories and drop them some comments! They really appreciate it!

Corroded Coffin Fest Pop-Up: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Red Right Hand. Orange Crush. Mellow Yellow. Green Light. Blue Ain't Your Color. The Indigo Streak. Violet Chemistry.

ROY G. BIV

The theme for this event is: Somewhere Over the Rainbow:

So, for this challenge, pick any song that features a color of the rainbow either in the title or lyrics and make something that is inspired by that song. Here's a playlist to help get you started.

Now, I'm not gonna get all up in your color wheel. You want to use Purple Pills instead of Violet Hill? Want to go with Taylor Swift's Maroon instead of her Red? Go for it!

This event runs between June 8th-14th, 2025.

You can interpret the prompt any way you'd like, as long as you've focused on one or more members of Corroded Coffin and a song that features a color of the rainbow.

GUIDELINES:

Please tag us here at @corrodedcoffinfest when you post your entries so we can reblog them!

The word count guidelines for this challenge are for fics between 500-2500 words. Your entries must be posted on the correct color day of the event. (And let us know what song you used!)

You'll get a comment from this blog with a "🌈" when it's been checked and added to the queue.

Submissions can be connected to other prompts from the pop-up, but they should still be able to stand alone.

Feel free to use the ao3 collection after you've been reblogged here!

All submissions should include any pairings featured, a rating and any content warnings (CW) or tags that you think are appropriate. All explicit material needs be under a cut. Headers make my life easier, and a sample of one could look something like this:

Prompt: Blue | Song: Blue Bayou | Word Count: 1250 | Rating: T | POV: Eddie | Relationships: None | CW: None | Tags: Corroded Coffin, On Tour, Thinking of the Past

For the artists! Art is definitely welcome! Any entries for the prompts must be focused on at least one Corroded Coffin pairing, a fit the prompt and guidelines.

Please submit your entries between 12:00 AM EST and 11:59 PM EST on the day of the prompt in order to not be missed for reblogging.

Taste the rainbow. 🌈
