I Love My Men In A Fit Of Agony

Happy April 1st everyone, and this isn't an april fools prank, the prompt list is HERE! The prompts were chosen through first a prompt jar that got a total of 40 responses (nearly double what we got last year!) that gave us roughly 350 prompts. From there 70 text and dialogue prompts were chosen and put in for the voting form. The top 31 of each type made it onto the list, one of each for each day of the month!

And, since this is our second year running Fluffy July, we have decided to DOUBLE the amount of alternate prompts as well! Like last year, 10 of them are the mods' favorite prompts that didn't quite make the cut for the list, but this year we also have 10 prompts that were fan-favorites!

Rules:

Works can be in any medium. Fanfictions, original works, podfics, recs, whatever you please, go for it!

Prompts should be responded to in a form of fluff

You don't have to create for all the days to participate in the event

Works only need to include one of the daily prompts or an alternate

Prompts can be used after the event has ended. The AO3 collection will stay open indefinitely and as long as you tag us we will reblog. (although it might take longer than it would during the event)

No AI generated content of any kind.

(regarding completionists)

To be a completionest you must fill all 31 days before August 7th

The completionest form should open on August 1ts and be open until August 7th

Curufin is going through it for @whumpril 's Day 25 prompt: Running on Fumes

The steady clop of hooves began to buzz in Curufin’s ears as the banks of the Narog turned stony. The land reached upward marginally, like a feeble hand longing to touch the sky. Even the small gradient felt a great imposition to Curufin’s way-worn feet. Yet it was this change in terrain that heralded the approach of Taur-en-Faroth, the wooded hills that Felagund called home, and hence some small hope. Not far… he thought. Just a little longer…

Behind, Celebrimbor’s mare snorted and pulled against her lead, irritable after too many days of hard riding along Doriath’s marches and across the guarded plain. All their steeds had been cruelly pressed nearly to exhaustion; it was kinder, though, than the fate that awaited the beasts had the remainder of Himlad’s forces been overtaken: flame and orc fodder. As if Curufin’s thoughts could be plainly read, his own destrier flattened his ears and started forward suddenly, pulling violently on the rope resting in Curufin’s nerveless fingers. He stumbled, and, damn it, his shaking legs had become too weak to right him from the fall. Pain lanced sharply up from his knees as they hit the rocky ground.

• Sleep can function as mental bondage. If you're asleep and can't be easily woken, you're completely helpless and vulnerable. If you're sufficiently drowsy and out of it, you're still basically helpless, but with the added bonus of potentially being somewhat aware of what's happening.

• The many ways to be forced to sleep -- surgical drugs, chloroform rags, hypnosis, sleeping spells and potions, tranquilizer darts, hidden sedatives in food or drink...

• The onset of sleep can be quick, barely giving you time to react before you're out, or so gradual you won't even realize what's happening until it's too late (and everything in-between).

• Uncertainty -- being put to sleep against your will, not knowing what will happen to you while you're defenseless. Being carried away as you fall asleep, not knowing where you'll be when you wake.

• The fight to stay awake, because it feels like something you should be able to fight, to overcome with enough willpower, but...

• The inevitability of being put to sleep. You might not feel the effects of the drugs or magic right now, you might feel wide awake, but sleep will be coming for you.

• Heavy eyelids fluttering and straining to stay open, drooping and closing all by themselves.

• Confusion and disorientation as the drowsiness sets in.

• Floating in and out of consciousness, perhaps just able to hear people discuss you or feel them handling you.

• Deep hypnotic sleep where your conscious mind is shut down and your subconscious is utterly vulnerable to suggestion.

• Glassy, dazed eyes with nothing behind them -- your eyes might still be open, but you're still fast asleep.

• Sleepwalking, wandering around in a trance, unaware of your surroundings -- or perhaps your sleeping mind is following someone else's commands...

Teeth is a queer erotic SFF anthology about things that bite. It’s about the gleam of a fang in the moonlight, the vulnerability of soft flesh, the feeling of sinking into something supple and ripe. Vampires? Werewolves? Absolutely. Something more exotic? Please! As long as it’s got teeth, baby, bring it on.

What we’re aiming for here is not so much erotica as eroticism. On-page sex is welcome but not necessary, on-page sexy is a must. Talk to me about the rush of sharp points piercing flesh, the sensual pleasure of blood spilling over the tongue, the feral joy of ripping into something yielding. About the power of running your finger along the edges of a razor-sharp maw and being sure you won’t get bitten—or hoping you will.Get weird with it, get dark or light with it. Get, above all else, your teeth into it.

The Details:

- Stories 3-7k, though if you’ve got something you think is exceptional outside this range, it can't hurt to send it in - “Queer” here means whatever it means to you—this is an anthology of queer fiction by queer authors. If you think the word applies to both yourself and your story, then it does - We're after first worldwide English digital and print rights, exclusive for a period of 12 months (with exceptions should your story be chosen for best of the year anthologies or the like) - No reprints for this one but I have faith in your ability to write something new - This is a SFF/spec-fic anthology—any flavour you like, as long as there's something in there that isn't literal reality - The one thing I insist you don't send me is human characters under 18, for legal reasons

Compensation:

- $20AUD flat payment guaranteed for accepted stories (with hopes of increasing this depending on success of Kickstarter campaign) + copy of eBook - eBook edition going ahead in all events except my untimely demise, paperback editions again at the whims of the Kickstarter campaign (+ if paperbacks go ahead, authors will also be provided a copy) - Monetary payment on signing of contract, eBook/paperback sent, obviously, when such a thing exists to be sent

Submissions:

- May 1st to June 1st 2026 - Open to queer authors internationally (as long as you can accept a PayPal payment/or are happy to be compensated in the form of cat pictures)

Timeline:

- Submission window: 1st May to 1st June 2026 - Acceptances & contracts: 15th June 2026 (check your spam folder) - Editing period: late June - mid August 2026 (painless single-round process, promise) - Kickstarter: 15th August - 1st September 2026 - Publication: October 2026 (precise date TBD)
