[fluff-cember]

when will fics be added to the archive collection? it says i've submitted but haven't seen anything about it

When Ao3 lets me. I have had a lot of issues with the managing end - and not a lot of time to look into it.

Sadly a couple of people also spammed the collection with fics that either are fully not connected to the event - or are explicitly against the rules in one way or another :/

Another Reminder

One big reminder: If you write prose for Fluffcember, I decided to put in a 100 word minimum, which is really not a lot. And with that I mean the actual content of the story.

And yes, this is because in December we had a lot of entries that were basically two-sentence pitches for a story idea, rather than actual wrting.

And that, to me, is not in the spirit of a prompt challenge.

100 words is not a lot. It is the length of a drabble. I want everyone to be able to participate. But at least put at least a bit of work into it.

Distracting

For @fluff-cember 'Fluffcember in July' prompt 2: Candy.

Fandom: Date Everything (Sassy Chap Games)

Word count: 892

Description: Gilby (Homeowner, They/Them) is called up to the mayor's office for unknown reasons...

Warnings: Slightly suggestive-ness but not past PG-13, more in a joking matter.

Note: I am trying to get myself out of a bit of a depression so I'm having fun writing silly little things. I hope you enjoy.

(Note: I wanted to leave this here so you guys could get an idea of who Gilby is.)

Gilby felt a little nervous sitting in Florence’s office, even if they had been there many times before. Okay that was a lie they were more then a LITTLE nervous, probably closer to having a panic attack. It had been the first time the mayor had asked them to come in, and the way that message had sounded almost felt like going to the principal’s office. Gilby looked down at their hands and tried to think. Had they done something wrong? Had they upset someone? I mean the only person they could possibly think of was Dishy. Oh, gods did Dishy complain about them? Was the mayor going to lay down the law and maybe get them kicked out of the house? Wait, she could do that, this was Gilby’s house. But she could bring down the hammers in other ways. Gilby felt the dread building as they felt the cold sweat of panic start to drip down their neck. Oh gods, this was torture. Couldn’t they just get this over with-

              “Gilby,” Florence called in her pleasant tone, “they mayor will see you now.”

              Oh gods, here goes the worst, Gilby thought as they rose from the chair and walked towards the doors to mayor Celia’s office.

              Celia for her part looked very calm, collected, and almost pleasant as she looked up from her paperwork. She certainly didn’t jump like Gilby did as the door’s closed. “Gilby, thank you for coming,” she said before motioning to one of the chairs in front of her desk. “Please sit down.”

              Gilby swallowed against the lump in their throat as they did as they were told. Its okay Gilby, just apologize and maybe you can somehow make amends for whatever mistake you make! She’s a reasonable woman, she’ll understand! She has to! “Celia, I mean Mayor Celia,” Gilby said, voice trembling a little, “I don’t know what I did but I am really sorry for whatever it was and if I can- “

              “Why are you apologizing?” Celia asked, looking a little perplexed. “Did you think you were in trouble?”

              “Well, when a high ranking official calls you into their office- “

              “My dear Gilby,” Celia said with a comforting smile, “you are not in any trouble. I just asked you to come in to talk. Would you like me to get Florence to bring you some tea.” Gilby nodded and Celia hit the little call machine on her desk. “Florence would you please make Gilby a cup of tea.”

              “Yes Ma’am!” Florence chirped before Celia removed her finger again.

              “Now, I want to tell you once again that you are not in trouble,” Celia said turning her attention back to the human in front of her, “so there is no need to panic.”

              “I’m not panic- “

              “Dear, if you grab the arms of that chair any more violently, I believe Chairemi is going to come busting into this office to complain.”

              Gilby hadn’t realized they had been gripping so hard and loosened their grip. “Sorry.”

              “It’s all right my dear,” Celia said with a wave of her hand, “as I said you are not in trouble, but there is something we need to discuss. It’s about…well about your candy eating.”

              Gilby blinked. “What?”

              “This morning was informed by many in this house of ours that you were in possession of what appeared to be a strangely colored candy cane?”

              Gilby thought back. “Oh yeah, I had been helping Holly taste test some of the new Blissmass in July candy canes. The pineapple and peach ones were really good. I did have quiet a few of them today.”

              “I’m glad you enjoyed them dear,” Celia said with a knowing grin, “but are you aware that the way you have been eating them is, oh how do I put this delicately, a bit distracting?”

              “What…my eating is distracting?” Gilby said slowly as if trying to work through every word.

              “Yes, or if you don’t mind me quoting something Maggie said today- “And Celia’s mouth turned upwards almost playfully, “- and these are her words but ‘I would love to know what else that tongue could do if put to good use’.”

              “My tongue…” Then Gilby felt the creep of embarrassment’s heat as it all clicked. “Oh…oh boy…” OH gods! Oh gods! OH, MY GODS!

              “You are aware half this house would love to jump you right now,” Celia said, still smiling, “it’s a wonder that you didn’t get dragged into a closet and ravished quiet thoroughly. I’m guessing you haven’t seen Betty today for if you had I’m sure you would be pinned under her doing…well some things a lady should probably not talk about in company I mean poor Hector nearly had lost all ability to function watching you throughout the house.”

              “I was thinking it felt a bit hotter then usual,” Gilby sighed unable to meet the mayor’s eyes, keeping all focus on their balled-up hands in their lap. “I am so sorry Ma’am will do better in the future to keep the…candy eating to a minimum.”

              “See that you do my dear, if nothing else but for your own safety,” Celia suggested. “Now after Florence brings you your tea, I suggest maybe you sit here and enjoy it before you go out again. Best give some people some time to cool down before you get in over your head don’t you agree?”

              Gilby could only blush from head to foot.

Sugar Rush [Castlevania - Striga & Adopted Kids]

Today's story for @fluff-cember in July I have a story for my Styria timeline. This once more being set about 10 years post-canon of the Original Netflix show, featuring Striga and her adopted children - including @g-vlssz's Sophie. A lot of chaos included.

Sugar Rush

Fandom: Castlevania (Netflix) Relationship: Striga & Adopted Children Genre: Fluff & Slice of Life

One child has a dumb idea. Another child wants to prevent it. Chaos ensues.

[fluff-cember]

Chloe lives in a land made entirely of candy. One day, she decides to venture outside her village to discover what the realm has to offer.

This is my submission for Day 2 for #fluffcemberinjuly25.

(Please say somewhere which prompt was used! That would be super helpful for me!)

child-like

Let us be child-like, my friend.

Let us sneak around and ruin our appetites with candy like we did in our early youth, let us forget the troubles that like restless hounds nip at our heels.

Let us be child-like, my friend.

Is bubblegum still your favorite, or has lemon taken over? Is your choice a way to remind yourself the sweet & the bitter that life has to offer? Forget that today.

Let us be child-like, my friend.

Lets gobble up candy like we did late at night, sneaking, two giggling children who cared not for cavities or rules beyond our wish for sweetness. Let us remember that.

And let us be child-like, my friend.

Long Way Chapter 4 - Of howling winds and warm hugs

@fluff-cember

Fandom: The Witcher

For the Fluffcember in July prompts 1 "Fire" and 3 "Warm hugs".

Summary: After crossing the dangerous mountain passes around Toussaint, Geralt's Hansa finally makes it to Caravista.

They rode as fast as they could, which, unfortunately, was not even half as fast as they wished they would ride, the distance between their little group and the Witcher growing steadily. Worried sick about Angoulême, they talked less than usual, even the habitually so loquacious Regis seemed in a pensive mood. If Angoulême died of the bite wound on her hand, it would not only be a tragic loss for them all as they had grown fond of the spirited teenager, who felt like an adopted daughter to their group, it would also be his fault because he could not save her. A devastating failure. But there was nothing they could do except hope that Geralt would make it to Caravista in time.

The next day, with the onset of heavy rainfall and a bad storm approaching, this hope began to dwindle fast. Drenched to the bone, the two humans shivering and chattering pitifully, they finally holed up in a cave that Regis located with the help of his bat senses just in time before the worst of the tempest hit.

"F-fuck!" Milva cursed under her breath, flopping down on the cave's hard stone floor, her lips bluish from the cold. "How can G-Geralt get to a healer in this g-gale?"

It was what they were all thinking. And for once, not even Regis had an answer. The only thing he could do was see to that Milva and Cahir were safe and would not catch pneumonia in their soggy clothes.

"I'll be back," he said after a moment of heavy silence. "Try to keep each other warm in the meantime."

Having done so plenty of times before on their travels through the frozen mountains, the two friends did not need to be told twice. They huddled up as closely as physically possible. Still, soaked as they and all their blankets were, Regis knew it would not be enough. In a swirl of black smoke, he disappeared without another word.

"W-wonder what he's up to n-now," Cahir chattered. "I w-wouldn't mind a hot s-soup."

"And a h-hot bath," Milva said, chattering no less than her companion. "There was t-this h-hot spring in B-Brokilon..."

For a while, they fantasised about warm foods and hot bathes together until, suddenly, Regis, was back, not with a steaming pot of soup or a bathtub filled with hot water - which was a ridiculously unrealistic notion anyway despite the vampire being able to do all kinds of things nobody else could possibly achieve - but with an armload full of birchwood for a fire. In no time at all, they had a nice campfire burning, and slowly, its warmth began to dry their drenched garments and dispel the chill from their bones. The hot herbal tea that Regis cooked for them also helped a lot, as did the left-over horse meat that they warmed over the happily dancing flames.

Continue reading on AO3. Have fun!

[fluff-cember]

6 More Hours!

In 6 hours at least Germany officially has July, which means it is officially time for Fluffcember in July!

I hope y'all are prepared! :D

I am looking forward to see your stories!

Reminder: here you can find the prompt list.

[fluff-cember]

Hi, can we also use a fluffy prompt to add a new chapter to an old fic of ours?

Yeah, sure. I don't see why not :)

[fluff-cember]

Ten Days Left

We have 10 (well, technically 11) days left to go till Fluffcember in July starts. For those who only now find this: Fluffcember in July is going to be a winter- and fluff-themed fanwork challenge for the month of July, based on the fact that the Southern Hemisphere is in the middle of winter now!

Given that it is just ten days more to go I wanted to do just a bit of housekeeping.

First things first: We have an Ao3 Collection now! So when the event starts, you can upload your works there!

Also I wanted to quickly advertise my other two prompt challenges going on closely to it or at the same time. If you are interested in writing spicier stories, I do have Summer Spice going on right now. And if there happen to be any Digimon Fans here: Just after July ends, there is also a Digimon-specific writing challenge: DigiMemorial August.

Feel free to enter either.

(Also, yes, I am aware: Summer Spice could also be named Winter Spice, given that yes, it is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, but that is less of an alliteration - and given the prompts are kink-based not summer-based I think it is fair like this.)

[fluff-cember]

Just in case we have some Digimon fandom folks here. Another challenge I am organizing is for the month of August, given the significance that the month holds in the Digimon fandom. For that one I do not only have fanwork prompts, but also just questions for you to answer in your blogs! :)

DigiMemorial August 2025

Trying to revitalize the Digimon Fandom further with this account, I decided to try and organize another fandom event. You can do it one of two ways (or both), so that a lot of people can participate.

Every day has a question for everyone to answer - and a prompt for art or fanfics or whatever else you want to submit. (Like, you can also do picture collections or stuff like that. I am leaving this fully up to you! :D)

I am posting this today, so that everyone has about two months to prepare their stuff for this. Though obviously you can also post stuff for this after August. Especially as this account is going to be active throughout the year! :)

Rules

Any submission needs to be about Digimon of course.

You can submit NSFW stuff on the Ao3 collection (which I will open in July), though if you post it on tumblr I will not reblog it with this account, as this account is purely SFW.

Ideally you post your fanwork (if you do fanwork) on the days, though you can post it later.

On each day I will also make a post for the day - if you want to answer to the questions you will have a little reference pic for that!

As fanwork you can enter anything: fanart, fanfics, renders, gifs, aesthetics, whatever...
