Be still my Barris Heart 💙

to our boys and our wonderful ship!

Launched in mid-September of 2019 with a standing ovation at the UK premiere, celebrated in countless delightful fanworks ever since, this ship has long sailed out of the reach of its original creator and taken on a marvellous life of its own… Thanks to the amazing talent and dedication of its actors, and to YOU, the lovely people who keep it afloat. 🌛💙 Here's to many happy returns!

The Barris Prompt Picnic will run from the first of August to the 7th of September! Prompts will be posted every other day in August, with a final week in September to catch up on the last prompts. It's a bit of a tight schedule during a busy time of year, so the idea is to have a chill, low-key fest - like a picnic, where everyone who wants to brings in a little something for all to share and enjoy. A moodboard, a playlist, fic, fanart, etc. are all scrumptious pieces of cake to share on our collective picnic blanket! 🫖🥧

Prompts are optional, however, so this can also be used as an opportunity to dust off those old WIPs about to be eaten by ants...

If I should lose you, the stars would fall from the sky If I should lose you, leaves would wither and die

any and all types of fanworks are welcome: fic, art, fanvids, fanmixes, gifsets, edits, etc

posting is from December 14th to January 14th

works must be posted within the posting dates. Works posted after Jan 14th will not be included in the event masterlist

regarding multichapter works on AO3, at least the first chapter must be posted by Jan 14th. The remaining chapters can be posted after Jan 14th

as long as it's still Jan 14th somewhere, you have time to post!

you can take part only with fanworks that have not been previously posted anywhere publicly on sites such as tumblr, insta, or fb. It's completely fine, however, if you have posted it privately, such as on whatsapp or a private discord server, or dm'd it to an internet friend, etc.

no minimum or maximum word count, sizes for art, or anything like that

any and all ratings

prompts are optional and can be used however you like, e.g. you can use a naughty prompt to make something nice, and vice versa, combine multiple prompts, or not use any

when posting on AO3, add your work to the Naughty or Nice collection

when posting on tumblr, tag us at @barris-events (not barris-event-blog). Otherwise, we might miss your contribution!

We're very happy to announce our newest Barris event, Naughty or Nice! Let's celebrate our wonderful boys with fanworks of all kinds from Dec 14th to Jan 14th, covering both the festive and seasonal spirit. Both seasonal and non-seasonal contributions will be welcome, however, as long they are Barris!

Stay tuned for the event rules and lists of prompts. This time, we'll have two different types of prompts. Do you want to be naughty (and get some inspiration that leans nsfw) or nice?
