Twelve weeks! I love... desecrating two corpses… with you all?

You know, the time comes when I have to slap together one of these posts again, and I'm always so shocked! Like, wow, didn't I just make one two hours ago? Nope, a whole two weeks have gone by.

Things have been busy, busy, busy! I've gotten a few interesting questions this week and was very privileged to get a sneak peek at someone's work 👁️ I wonder how drastically things will change in a few more weeks... and a few more after that... and a few more after those... 😂

Our seventh set of murderers (participants) has been contacted. Let's hand them hacked-off pieces of our hearts, and again applaud the hard work of our sixth corpse carriers 🥳

Ten weeks! I checked our pulse, and I can't quite believe it myself, but we really do seem to be alive and kicking 😵

With each passing day, our corpses slowly come together 🥹 Word by word, stitch by stitch, we're creating little bodies - giving life to little worlds. Even though I'm sure the stress will take me out (non-romantically) one day, I just think it's so incredibly special. Thanks again to everyone joining in! These last two corpses are going to be the best yet 😌

Our sixth set of murderers (participants) has been contacted. Let's send some gorilla glue, duct tape - maybe a clamp(?) their way, and again applaud the hard work of our fifth necromancers 😌

[exquisitetomarrymortcorpse]

Eight weeks! Are you as scared as we are?

Maybe you’ve seen our post floating around like a bloated body we accidentally set loose down the river 😩 Alas we’ve lost a companion to the woes of life (and possibly our corpsely hubris), so if you’ve got time to spare and missed your chance to join the corpse 👁️ there is hope yet… Reach out anytime and you totally won’t regret it! Though they do say bad things happen in threes 😬

Our fifth set of murderers (participants) has been contacted. Let's send some smudging sticks, a rabbit’s foot, and a lucky horseshoe their way and applaud the hard work of our fourth exquisite participants 🥹

Help Wanted: Exquisite Tomarrymort Corpse – Team A Member

Are you an artist or writer with a deep, possibly unhinged, love for Tomarrymort? Do you have the ability to be available between September 29th - October 12th, or at the very least, the ability to pretend you have your life together for that specific timeframe? Do people describe you as a silly goose, and do you take that as the highest compliment?

Job Responsibilities:

- Contribute to the ongoing madness of a collaborative Tomarrymort project (art or writing, we’re not picky—just talented) - Be available (or at least marginally responsive) from September 29th - October 12th - Bring maximum silliness while still producing actual work (a delicate balance) - Embrace the chaotic energy of group projects with too much creative potential and not enough self-control - Be willing to trust the process (even if the process makes zero sense)

Qualifications:

- Must be an artist or writer - Must enjoy Tomarrymort - Must possess silly goose energy, which can manifest in many ways: - Laughing at your own jokes - Sending unhinged horoscope memes at 2 AM - Making increasingly bad puns until someone logs off in protest

The sheer thrill of seeing where this collaborative experiment takes us The mild terror of not knowing what the person before you did The eternal glory of being a part of something truly unhinged

This chain will continue until the corpses inevitably finish on November 10th.

A gentle reminder that if anything arises in the meantime that changes your availability, please let me know as soon as you can. With enough notice, we can make a quick and painless swap with someone further down the list. This way, everyone still gets to participate.

Thank you, participants, for your patience! Let's go out there and make TWO most exquisite tomarrymort corpses.

[exquisitetomarrymortcorpse]

Six weeks! When the going gets tough, the tough gets going - in our case... would the tough get...shambling? Who is to say 😌

A very wise frog 🐸 once told us, "One who gains strength by overcoming obstacles possesses the only strength which can overcome adversity." And with the dawn of week seven here, isn't it such a perfect opportunity to share this quote with tumblr dot com? 182 days remaining, and the challenges have just begun. Nothing we can't handle, though 😎

Our fourth set of murderers (participants) has been contacted. Let's send some battle axes, maybe a bludgeon or two their way and applaud the hard work of our third exquisite participants 🥹

[exquisitetomarrymortcorpse]

Four weeks! Some would say ain't nothing gonna break our stride, nobody gonna slow us down... uh oh! I guess we're going to keep on moving 😎

The beginning weeks during the first corpse felt like they went by so so quickly - this time is no different! Our progression so far is uninterrupted and full speed ahead... for a shambling dead body, that is... 🧟

Our third murderers (participants) have been contacted. Let's send an energy bar their way and again applaud the hard work of our second fearless participants 😌

[exquisitetomarrymortcorpse]

Two weeks have passed by us already! Some may say I'm stealing exactly what I wrote from last year... those people are correct 🤩

The exquisite tomarrymort corpse still drags its way along - well, actually, it's in a state of active decay where the body begins to lose mass as fluids are released and soft tissues liquefy! But that's rather specific... at least I didn't talk about the smell... 👃

Anyway, our second murderers (participants) were contacted only a short while ago. Let's wish them well in their upcoming murderous designs and applaud the hard work of our first ones 😌

[exquisitetomarrymortcorpse]

Happy March 30th! BOTH exquisite tomarrymort corpses have officially begun!

I have contacted our starting murderers (participants) and will start going down the timeline as the weeks progress. So excited to see what we all come up with together! (again)

Event Breakdown

Now that all participants have submitted their forms, we will move on to the next course of action. The event will continue as follows:

All participants comfortable going first will be added to a randomiser. Once a starting person has been selected, those comfortable going last will be randomised. I will reach out to the selected first and last people and confirm if their estimated date range works for them - if the date range doesn't work for one or both, I will restart the process until both parties confirm. When everything is settled, the remaining participants will be randomised, assigned a date range, and reached out to. After each participant has agreed to their dates, the Timeline will be posted. To keep things simple, the event will officially start on Sunday, 30 March 2025 at 00:00 UTC-5! After the first person has completed their contribution of the corpse, the second person will be contacted at the beginning of their date range and given the last five lines of the fic or a cropped portion of the fanart. This chain will continue until the corpse inevitably finishes.

Due to higher participation rates this year -- we will be running two corpses concurrently in an attempt to avoid this event going into June/July 2026! What does that mean for you? Nothing! The event will continue as normal - don't think too much about it.

- Outreach Timeframe

Below are the deadlines for outreach and date range confirmation:

February 28th — The first and last randomised participants will be contacted. They will have until Sunday, 2 March 2025 at 00:00 UTC-5 to confirm their date range. March 2nd — If one or both participants cannot complete their date range, alternates will be selected. They will have until Monday, 10 March 2025 at 00:00 UTC-5 to confirm their date range. March 13th — All other randomised participants will be contacted. Because this group will be much larger and may need more changes, they will have until Thursday, 27 March 2025 at UTC-5 to confirm their date ranges. March 29th — The official Timeline will be posted. March 30th — The event begins! The first person starts the exquisite tomarrymort corpse and has two weeks to finish and submit their contribution. This pattern will continue and repeat until the corpse finishes (decays).

- Submission Requirements

Free Rein is still in play - however, to maintain consistency, here are a few things requested of each participant:

- All participants must submit their contributions to the corpse via Dropbox. Doing so will help keep everything consistent, easily mergeable, and manageable when transitioning to AO3.

Each participant will receive an individualised Dropbox link to submit their portion! You do not need a Dropbox account to submit - do not share your link.

Please send me your last five lines or the cropped/altered version of your art separately via your preferred contact method so that I may pass it along to the next participant!

- All fanart participants must submit their contributions to the corpse with a link to their art. Feel free to send the link separately or within the submitted Dropbox file. Doing so will help with image embedding when transitioning to AO3.

- All writing and fanart participants should edit their fics/fanart panels for proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar to the best of their ability. If you can't, please contact a beta reader for editing.

- All writing and fanart participants should exclude any explicit material in the contributed portion that is passed on to the next participant! No explicit material should be present in the last five lines of the fic or within the cropped portion of the fanart sent.

“Explicit material” is defined by AO3 guidelines as content containing explicit adult themes, such as porn, graphic violence, etc. Which includes some of their major archive warning tags.

HOWEVER - via overwhelming majority, NSFW is allowed this year! All participants are over 18 and unanimous in the inclusion of NSFW. Please be mindful and continue to follow AO3 guidelines for explicit material.

- Optional Guidelines

- Aim between 500 to 2k words; or 1 fanart scene with a small amount of dialogue to 3 scenes with no dialogue (no pressure). - Here are some randomised words to help inspire you: dialect, board, revoke, log, layout. - If all else fails, pick a classic Tomarrymort trope: Time Travel, Dark Harry, Soulmates, Harry and Tom Grow Up Together, Forced Proximity, Voldemort Wins, etc. and apply it to the portion given to you. - Don't focus on making a cohesive story/narrative; that's quite possibly the last thing we want. Review the portion sent to you, and just create until you feel things have suitably gotten out of hand or until you think you've confused the person after you well enough. - Keep in mind that the ultimate goal is to have fun. (And submit what will likely be the most extraordinary Tomarrymort AO3 story that ever was, of course.) If you aren't having fun, please reach out; I'll do everything in my power to help you have fun.

Final Notes

From my rough calculations - the event will finish sometime on or before Monday, 10 November 2025 at 00:00 UTC-5. Now, this is a long timeframe. If anything changes your availability in the meantime, please let me know as soon as you can. With enough notice, we'll be able to make a quick and painless swap with someone further down the list. This way, everyone still gets to participate. Thank you for returning for a second year or joining for the first time! There are new changes, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to direct message, send an ask here on Tumblr, or reach out on our Discord (18+) server.

3 minutes left!!

Hello! And welcome to the second-ever Exquisite Tomarrymort Corpse.

An Exquisite Corpse is a game in which each participant adds to a fanwork in sequence by only being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed.

That's right - we're back, baby 😎 And we've gotten a little colour upgrade 👀 Last year was just so much fun, and we think it went off without a hitch! So we're going again 😂 can't afford to have any one-hit wonders here, no thank you 😌 (someone save me)

I’ve compiled a new Google Form with a few questions to gather a sense of interest and start narrowing down some new rules & guidelines and, inevitably, a timeline! Please feel free to complete the form if you'd like to participate!

The link shall remain active until 27/02/2025 12am UTC-5.
