I truly appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked through the logistics and fine-tuned the prompts… and now, without further ado...

Kloktober is almost upon us!

What is Kloktober? First and foremost, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to @lampmeeting for their unwavering dedication and incredible service to the fandom over the past five years. Their work has helped make Kloktober what it is today, and it’s truly an honor to be taking the reins and carrying this amazing tradition forward!

Now, onto the fun stuff: Kloktober is an electrifying, zazz-tastic event that takes place throughout October, where we come together to celebrate all things Metalocalypse. Every day of the month has a unique prompt that you can interpret however you’d like! Whether it’s drawing, writing, cosplay, memes... anything goes! There’s no limit to how you can participate, so feel free to get as creative as you want.

How do I participate? Simply create your totally brutal masterpiece inspired by the day’s prompt and post it using the hashtag #kloktober2025. That’s it! Share your creations wherever you normally post your work: Tumblr, Twitter, AO3, Instagram, or any other platform. The more, the merrier!

But am I allowed to— YUP! ANYTHING GOES! There are no wrong answers in Kloktober. You can interpret the prompts however you like, and even if you only do one day (or none at all!) that’s totally fine too. No pressure! This is all about fun and celebrating our love for Metalocalypse. So don’t worry about burnout, just do what feels right! NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO CHICKEN OUT! NOW'S THE TIME TO SHINE!

What if I don’t vibe with a prompt? No worries at all! If there’s a prompt that doesn’t quite click with you, feel free to dig through past years’ prompts (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, or 2020) and choose one that speaks to you. And if you have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for it!

@thisisfanon has unveiled their inaugural Cleo Awards and Dethkomic Volumes 1, 2, and Dethkomic Drabbles are all nominated for various categories! If you've read it and think we're worthy, it'd be awesome if you could give any of them a vote...

Maybe more to the point... I think it'd be hilarious for a Metalocalypse Fancomic (Dethkomic: Volume 2) to take home the top prize for Romance.

For every artist and voice actor out there, we bring to you the first ever awards of its kind - The Cleos award for visual fanfics.

Nominate yourself here!

The first week has been nothing short of incredible, and the competition is only just beginning 💫

Alright, gang. It's time... Send me your characters to cameo in Dethkomic. Because this time around, these idiots could use all the help they can get.

It's the last-hurrah of Dethkomic. The final five issues. Endgame. Show's over. Curtain call.

So let's make it extra special by inviting as many OCs/self-inserts as we can, hey?

DISCLAIMER: If you've had an OC in the comics previously, you don't need to ask me to include them. They're already involved. As a thank you for sticking with me over the last 3 years, 8 issues, and 200+ pages, they'll be a little more involved than newcomers, but I still want to give any new people lending me their MTL children as much "screen time" as possible. That said...

An appearance is guaranteed for all who submit an application. Just one character per person, please! And you do the picking – don’t make me choose between multiples. I am terrible at that. :) Reference sheets with art are best, but I also take written descriptions, celebrity stand-ins, and that kind of stuff, too!

Feel free to give me an idea of anything they wouldn't do. There'll probably be ample crowd shots but if there aren't too many, I like to give these supporting roles at least a line of dialogue or some active involvement that's on-character.

And that's it! Send me a note on here and you're in! Please note that I have the right to refuse a character for any reason, but if you're not trolling, you'll probably get in.
