Drosselmeyer Writes

In 2012 I painted the top image: Rise

Phoenix

To be evil is to be boring

It is far more interesting to be intentionally kind

To strive every day to be better than your last

Knowing tomorrow you’ll be better still

The banality of evil does not come from pain

That you inflict on others thoughtlessly

It is banal because you cannot imagine

Anything more revolutionary than being cruel

The easiest thing in the world to do

Your malice is defeated because you only know one trick

I will triumph because my heart knows a thousand ways to love

Each day has a theme & 3 prompts to choose from.

Each day has a theme of a specific Canon or a specific AU. You can pick either of the two, or if you're really prolific, try your hand at both! In addition to themes there are three separate prompts you can use: a word prompt, a scenario prompt and a dialogue prompt.

The final day is a free day, for you to create whatever you wish!

You can use any (or if you're ambitious, all!) of the day’s prompts.

If you can't strictly adhere to the day's given theme of Canon VS AU, that's all right. Whatever you create inspired by these prompts is welcome!

If any of the day's themes has you scratching your head, please have a look at the SessKag Week Theme Breakdown.

Tagging

You can use either #skw2024 or #sesskagweek2024.

Remember also to use a daily tag to indicate for which day’s prompt the work is for! (e.g. #skw2024d1 for Day 1)

~~

All kind of fanworks are welcome!

Fan fics, fan art, edits, moodboards & gifsets, playlists, podfics etc. Anything you’re inspired to create! The only requirement is that the work should be new.

If you’re not a creator, SessKag week is an excellent time to show appreciation to your favourite creators! You can make fic rec lists or reblog your favourite fan art or make shout-out post to thank the creators you like! And of course, you can always comment on the new fanworks created for the SessKag week and/or reblog them to share with others! 💕

~~

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to ask!

For those who post on AO3, there is a collection for SessKag Week 2024!

I hope you all have fun with this event! I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone’s creations! 💙
