The Anonymous Unicorns of 1D

Welcome to week one of the anon unicorns fest! Rules are here if you need a refresher, but just as a reminder i DO NOT moderate the collection, and you are not required to use any of these prompts as inspiration! But they're here if you wanna :)

Prompt Wheel-- unlabeled, so it's all a surprise to you!

Full Prompt List-- for those who want a wealth of options

And finally, here's a brief list of words chosen at random and picked from my very own brain, in case that's how you roll:

Execute Regret Rent Pressure Flash Spread

all fics posted in the anon unicorns collection will be included in a roundup post, but please mention the fest in your author notes or summary if you want me to make a standalone (generic/standard) post for your fic!

It's on there!! Bloodsports (for the big umbrella of blood related kinks) and gore, if you want to go the horror route.

They should be up no later than noon PDT!

The plan is to offer:

-A list

-that same list but on a picker wheel

-5 prompt words picked at random

But i might change my mind about that last one, we'll see!!

UPDATE!!

I've been a little MIA the past couple of weeks, but the poll results are in and I wanted to share that the schedule will remain as posted (see the pinned post) but prompts will be shared as a whole list and (for those of us who need a little guidance) on a picker wheel! I will also select a handful each week just because I want to :)

If you have specific kinks or dark subject matter that you'd like to see, feel free to send an ask or leave a comment and I'll make sure it's included.

The 1D Anonymous Unicorns Challenge wants YOU to join in the debaucherous fun!!

No sign up required!!! Here's how it works:

-Pretty much the only rule is that you must be 18 years or older in order to participate in this fest. There are no content limitations, no minimum or maximum word count, and no moderation of posted works as I AM NOT the creator of the Anonymous Unicorns collection!

-Beginning FRIDAY, MAY 29, a number of prompts-- in the form of (for example) themes, kinks, body parts, and (maybe) some randomly generated words will be shared to inspire fics for the week.

-Authors may post to the collection at any point in the week to the Anonymous Unicorns collection using the tag "anonymous unicorns challenge" if they like. These fics can be inspired by the prompt words or not-- it's up to you!

-The following Friday, this blog will share a roundup post of all the 1D fics shared to the anon unicorns collection! Link and brief description will be included in the post along with the challenge graphic (similar to above).

-Still working out sharing posts for individual fics in addition to the weekly roundup and collecting fics by authors who choose to sign their fics with an emoji at the end of the month.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Friday May 29 and June 5, 12, and 19: prompts post

Friday June 5, 12, 19, and 26: fics "due" to the collection and a roundup post shared weekly

Saturday June 27: BIG round up post for the whole fest shared in time for reblogging on June 28th and inclusion in 28th appreciation monthly recs!!

Questions? Excitement? Send me an ask! Anon is on!

This one is for potential readers! I wanna get a sense of what will potentially draw you in/entice you to check out the fics in this fest. Definitely need comments/reblogs with tags for this because I'm not sure my poll will really cover this topic well? But I gotta try!!

I know the waters are a little muddy when it comes to kinks vs tropes in some ways, so just as an example: bondage would be a kink, fuck or die would be a trope. There's obviously lots of grey area there, and I'm not actually sure how I'll divide things up just yet (or if I will at all).

Here's a second prompts poll. I'm leaning toward a mix, but I want to know what writers prefer that mix to contain. Please consider reblogging with suggestions in tags or sending them via ask if you have things you really want included. In the meantime, here is another question for potential writers:

Hello 1D anon unicorn lovers! I'm dropping an info post about the upcoming challenge on Monday and need your opinions on prompts! This will be the first of several polls, so please come share your thoughts!! Reblogging with opinions and sending asks encouraged!!

Announcing Round One of the 1D Anonymous Unicorns Challenge!!

The Anon Unicorn collection has until recently been a treasure trove of dead dove fics for the 1D fandom. This challenge aims to restore some of that glory!!

There will be no sign ups for this collection (as I do not have any control over it) and fics will go live as soon as they are posted, with a round up post shared at the end of each week of the one month challenge.
