Trick or treat, gals and ghouls! My name is Ducky and I am back again to announce another Fanfiction Readathon!

The October 2021 Read More Fic-athon!

- What is it? A silly little cross-fandom event/game to make our autumn (or spring, for you Southern Hemisphere darlings) reading even more fun!

- When is it? October 1 - 31, 2021

- Why am I doing this? Because readathons are fun, but I never see them for fanfiction. Also, I thought it would be a great way to boost visibility of lots of different fics and celebrate fanfiction authors!

- How does it work? You read fics! I’ve posted a set of 10 prompts for you below to follow when choosing what fics to read, but you don’t have to use every prompt. You can pick and choose which ones you like, do them all, or toss them all out the window and do your own thing! They’re also open to interpretation - if you think a fic fits a prompt, go for it!

- Are there any rules? Have fun! But also, leave a comment on each fic you read. This event is partly to give back to the wonderful people who write for us, and I want to make sure they know how appreciated they are! It doesn’t have to be an essay - a simple comment to the tune of ‘I really enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing!’ is perfect!

- What fandom/pairing is this event for? All of them! I’ve tried to make the prompts open enough that they can be used for nearly any fandom or pairing. Feel free to mix and match for different prompts, or do all of the prompts from the same fandom/pairing. It’s up to you! If you feel extra ambitious, do the prompts multiple times for multiple pairings!

- What if I can’t find fics that match the prompts? I’ll be encouraging (and reblogging) everyone who is participating to make a TBR (to be read) post that links to the fics they plan to read. Take a look at what others are reading and see if any of those interest you! You can also search by tag on AO3, browse fic rec lists and user bookmarks, or look at the catalogs of works made from previous events in your fandom(s) (such as Bangs, Reverse Bangs, holiday events, etc). If you still can’t find anything, send me an ask, and I’ll post it so that others can suggest fics!

Prompts

- Without further ado, on to the prompts! Some of these you will remember from our July Readathon, and some are brand new!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

1. Read a fic with an autumny word in the TITLE (or if you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, feel free to switch this out for a spring word!). Examples: leaves, shiver, sweater, chill, pumpkin, cozy, apples

2. Read a fic with less than 500 kudos

3. Read a fic by an author you’ve never read before

4. Read a fic TAGGED with ‘Halloween’ or another Halloween-related word - for example: haunted, spooky, monster, fear, trick, candy, costume

5. Read a fic that someone else recommends or bookmarked

6. Read a fic that was published less than 10 months ago

7. Read a fic that’s a retelling of something (a retelling of Cinderella with your fave as Cinderella, the Hades/Persephone myth featuring your OTP, or a scene from your canon with a twist to it - all would work!)

8. Read a fic that’s had fanart made for it (don’t forget to share and comment on the artwork too!)

9. Read a fic that’s more than 25,000 words

10. Reread one of your favorite fics

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Feel free to double up on prompts - that is, if a fic fits both #1 and #10, for example, you can count it for both!

Be sure to tag me @readmorefic in your prompt lists so I can share your choices! Have you written a fic or drawn art for a fic that would work for one of the prompts? Send me an ask and I’ll post it! We love a little shameless self-promotion here!

Even if you decide you can’t participate, I’d appreciate a reblog to spread the word to others who might like to! Thanks so much for taking the time to check this out, and HAPPY READING!

Hellooooo friends, strangers, and distinguished guests! My name is Ducky and I am here to announce the

July 2021 Fanfiction Readathon!

What is it? A silly little cross-fandom event/game to make our summer (or winter, for you Southern Hemisphere darlings) reading even more fun!

When is it? July 1 - 31, 2021

I’m not sure how popular this idea will be, but even if it’s just me having fun by myself, I’ll be spreading love to authors and promoting their work, and you guys can jump in any time to play!

With all of that rambling out of the way, here are the prompts!

✨✨✨✨✨

1. Read a fic with a summery word in the title (for example, ‘June’ ‘beach’ ‘vacation’ ‘heat’). For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, feel free to use a wintery word instead!

2. Read a fic that’s been tagged with something silly (a few examples from my own recent reading: ‘no beta we die like men’ ‘my god the run-ons’ ‘Idiots with a Happy Ending’ ‘Gandalf is shipper trash’)

3. Read a fic by an author you’ve never read before

4. Read a fic that’s less than 10,000 words

5. Read a fic from someone else’s fic rec list or AO3 bookmarks

6. Read a fic written over one year ago

7. Read a fic that’s had fanart made for it

8. Read a fic with five or more words in the title

9. Read a fic that’s first in a series

10. Reread one of your favorite fics

✨✨✨✨✨

Even if you decide you can’t participate, I’d appreciate a reblog to spread to word to others who might like to! Thanks so much for taking the time to check this out, and HAPPY READING!
