CLAIMING

Only 2 days left to claim a prompt and be part of this year's summer fest!

Browse through the prompts here or check out our new Bingo Cards!

Bingo Cards can be combined with a prompt or used on their own to create something fun :D

AS A REMINDER:

only claim a second prompt if youre reasonably sure you'll be able to fill them both

CLAIMING IS NOW OPEN!

For the next 7 days, anyone who wants to create something for the fest can claim a prompt here!

You can claim your own prompt - if you want to take part, but none of the prompts are catching your eye, write your own and claim it! You might even inspire someone else 👀

Only claim more than one prompt if you are reasonably sure you'll be able to fill both.

Prompts can be claimed multiple times!

PROMPTING IS NOW OPEN!

For the next 7 days, prompts can be submitted to the 2026 collection here!

PROMPTING 💡

You can submit a prompt even if you don't plan on claiming one

You can submit up to three prompts

Your prompt is supposed to spark inspiration, and is not a fic request.

Authors and artists can interpret the prompt as they please

Try and keep your prompts simple, like a blurb or summary

We had so many amazing ideas submitted last year, and we're sure this year is gonna be even better 🥳

HELP!

Carlando Summer Fest is back for its second year! K and I had so much fun with this last year that we had to bring it back!!

This is a prompt-based fest and we'll be following a similar structure to last year.

Prompts will be submitted to our AO3 collection, to be claimed by anyone who wants to create something inspired by that prompt.

Prompting will take place from Monday, followed by claiming! Posting will take place over the F1 summer break in August.
