Thank you so much for playing along! The collection will be open indefinitely if you'd like to finish any prompts! Below the cut is the final list of all the words! See you next year!
AU Roulette 2026 Sign-ups are officially open!
And with that, we are getting things started! As a brief reminder for those new to the event -- AU Roulette is a casual fic-writing challenge encouraging fanfic authors to play around with different types of alternate universe stories, which will be randomly assigned to each participant regardless of the fandom they sign up with.
Writers will be able to sign up from May 10th-31st with a fandom of their choice. At the start of June, each participant will be assigned three AUs from a masterlist using a random number generator. Each author will then have the choice of completing the challenge one, two, or all three of the AUs. Any fic exceeding a 500-word minimum will be considered a completion, so long as it employs the AU premise. Fics can then be posted at any point during the month of June.
As a reminder: The fandom you signed up with is used to filter AU assignments, in order to minimize re-rolls! (For example, someone signing up with "The Lord of the Rings" will not be assigned a High Fantasy AU). Please only sign-up with one fandom.
The sign-up link can be found here. Please feel free to spread it around and get the word out about this year's event!
prompt list for #ComeWhatMay , if anyone would like a little whump event month last-minute. Nothing groundbreaking, playing a lot of the hits haha. We'll see how far I get myself.
No AI, any human-made contributions allowed.

Written for the Come What May Creator’s Challenge 2026
Prompt: borrowed
This is a drabble (100 words exactly)
@Fanfic writers:
My friend send me this link, is a series on a profile on Ao3 (tumblr) that has different tutorials to insert things to fanfics via html code, I thought I would share bc it’s really cool
Lists of tutorials:
How to make images fit in mobile browsers
This is a tutorial/live example on how to make large images fit on mobile browsers but remain normal size on desktop browsers.
How to mimic letters, fliers, and stationery without using images
This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic the look of letters, fliers, and stationery (as well as other forms of written media) without using images. For all your epistolary fic needs.
How to make a “choose your own adventure” Fic
This is a tutorial/live example on how to create a "Choose Your Own Adventure" fic. While this has been explained before (see here), this particular tutorial shows you how to use a work skin to hide the next parts from the reader until they click through to get to them.
How to make linked footnotes on Ao3
This is a live example of how an author can create linked footnotes in their work with only a little bit of HTML and no workskins required. This is best viewed by clicking "Entire Work". While I've included the actual coding in bold and italic once you click "Hide Creator's Style", there's a more detailed explanation here.
How to change text on Ao3 when the cursor is hovering over it (or clicked on mobile)
This a tutorial/live example on how to have text change or appear once a cursor is hovering over it. Helpful for pop-up spoilers, language translations, quick author's notes, etc.
How to mimic author’s notes and Kudos/Comment buttons
Anonymous on tumblr: do you have a skin that would mimic the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons section from the end of a fic? the desired effect being that the fic could go on after the “end” of the fic, so after the author’s notes and review/kudos buttons
Here's a tutorial/live example to do just that, with some of the buttons actually functioning. I'll explain more inside!
How to wrap text around images
This is a tutorial/live example on how to align images to the left or right of the screen and have text wrap around them.
How to mimic email windows
This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic email windows on AO3 without the need to use images.
How to make ios text messages on Ao3
This is a tutorial/live example on how to mimic iOS text messages on AO3 without the need to use images. There's also a chapter on how to have emojis displayed on AO3 as well.
How to make Customized page deviders
Bored with the default page dividers? This is a tutorial/live example on how customize your page dividers with no images needed (though I do show you how you could use images if you wanted to do such a thing).
How to make invisible text (That can be highlighted)
This is a live example how to make invisible text that can only be seen by highlighting the text. Tutorial is included in text, and you can always leave comments about questions you may have.
MOBILE USERS: Sadly, this probably won't work for you, since highlighting in a mobile browser is different than web. I've tried correcting this, but have yet to find a solution.
How to make a rounded playlist
Original coding and design is from layouttest. I make no claims for it, just tweaked it so it will work on AO3.
How to create notebook lined paper on Ao3

Retrieval
(original writing, sf, flashfic, 467 words)
I clung desperately to the side of the car, eyes tightly shut against the dizzying view of the circling moons below. My jockey anchor vibrated at full power as the MagLev33 coaster shot into West Station. I will never understand what possessed the engineers to install clear transit tubes in the Lower Fourth Quadrant.
As the coaster slowed to a stop I looked in both directions, catching sight of Junie’s highly illegal pet construct as it slipped between the third and fourth car. Normally I’d be riding a client’s mark on one of these runs, but today the stakes were higher, and the pay non-existent – if I didn’t catch the little bugger soon it might get traced back to Junie, and then we’d have to run, again.
I scrambled over the nearest MagNode, slipping along the undercarriage, and praying my hand-me-down InvisiShield would do the rest, as I scanned ahead for the Struct. The scanner, a bulky DIY cobbled together by my sister to help track her pet, set off a silent alert in the corner of my goggles – there! The Struct was climbing quickly towards one of the carriage doors, as the coaster came to a complete halt.
“Gotcha, you little bugger,” I muttered under my breath, punching the *lock* button on the scanner with vicious satisfaction, “no more wild tube-chases for you!”
The scanner emitted a small shower of sparks, and the Struct turned briefly to point it’s sensors at me before disappearing into the third carriage.
I swore quietly, cold sweat breaking out on the back of my neck. This was bad.
I smacked the offending scanner against my thigh and got a mild shock for my trouble. Peering closer, it had a loose wire on the side, and I tried jiggling it back into place, using the extendable climbing claws on my gloves to tighten the anchor. After a few tense seconds the scanner gave a contented little beep, and the red dot denoting the Struct turned yellow. Okay!
Stepping off the coaster behind the next Mag-pillar I deactivated the InvisiShield, and strolled up to the open carriage, scanning my latest pilfered IdentyCard at the entrance. The check-in passed without a hitch, and I felt my shoulders relax as I followed the signal on the scanner to the front left side of the carriage.
As the MagLev33 started to pull out of the station I took a seat, casually dropped my IdentyCard on the floor, and leant forward to retrieve it. I grabbed the Struct immobilised under my seat, and shoved it into a thigh pouch as I sat back up with the card once more in hand.
Junie’d better slap a restraining bolt on this thing, before turning it back on – this kind of day was real bad for my blood pressure.
Currently open for flashfic prompts - give me a character, a setting, and a genre, and I will write something short.

V.E. Schwab's advice for creating memorable characters - works for both protagonists and villains
source post: X
This is really good advice.
It also ties neatly into the simplest version of the formula for getting people emotionally engaged with your characters: or how to build the moment in which your character starts moving from their initial state to the state in which they'll start changing their own lives.
First, you figure out the one important thing the character believes that they're wrong about. There's usually a core misperception that they haven't examined. Once they're forced to engage with it, it'll start to change everything about their perception of the world they're inhabiting and/or the people in it.
Then, as V.E. says, you identify the character's great desire and their great fear: the thing that character wants more than anything, and the thing or situation that terrifies them, and that they'll go to any lengths to avoid.
And having identified these two objects or situations, you build a situation in which the two forces will be in close, direct opposition to one another... then drop the character down in between them, and squeeze. Those two opposing forces become the jaws of a vise... and you crank the vise more and more tightly closed until the character has no choice but to acknowledge those opposing forces, and start (even in a small way) to deal with the pressure being exerted and push their way through.
This does not have to be, initially, a great climactic moment. In fact, it works better if it's not. It's more effective if your character has a brief low-intensity brush with these conditions-in-conflict early on. That way, when your big resolution scene comes along about two-thirds or three-quarters of the way along through the story arc, you'll have set up a resonance between that earlier hint or intimation of what's to come, and the really big blowoff. Your readers will recognize the resonance—the throb of tension between the two occurrences, like the vibration of a plucked string—and will find satisfaction both in the true resolution having been partially telegraphed earlier, and in how it's now being experienced and resolved in full.
This approach also allows you to set up more minor resonances between the realization of the conflict and its final resolution. These can serve to bind the structure of the work more closely together: to make it look (and be) less like a series of loosely strung-together plot events, and more like a unified whole, in which ripples of story business flow backwards and forwards, interpenetrating and influencing one another, and hinting at the big one to come.
But none of this can happen until the paired and opposing what-do-they-most-desire, what-do-they-most-fear axes have been defined. So that's a subject it's smart to spend some while thinking about (and for all your characters, not just the major ones), to be sure you're getting it right.
It's not unusual to get the wrong answers, or merely superficial ones, while you're still working out what's actually going on with the characters. So take your time. Eventually you'll find a set of answers that feel unquestionably right... and you can then nail those down in your notes and get on with making the kind of "good trouble" for your characters that will see them made complete.

Here’s the reverse-trope thing, if anyone wants to play around with them.
Just saw a list of reverse tropes as prompts and... Retirement Home AU anyone?!?
I think it's brilliant! Now I really want to write a Jian Yi/Zhan Zhengxi flashfic where they meet at a retirement home instead of in pre-school, it would be fucking fantastic. Imagine JY getting bullied by the old guys and biddies there, and Zhan Zhengxi swooping to the rescue - it would be so fucking cute!
There's an ongoing commotion when Zhengxi walks into the south drawingroom after his post-lunch stroll.
Mrs Wu is angrily berating the new guy, a slightly frail looking man who she's cornered in the recliner by the window-- normally Zhengxi's preferred reading spot. The man in the chair has a tight grip on his walking cane, but no space to get up and out of the chair with Mrs Wu squarely planted in front of him gesticulating angrily. One of her usual cronies, Mr Jiao Zhengxi thinks his name is, chimes in with his own gruffly disparaging remarks whenever there's a pause for Mrs Wu to draw breath.
The man in the chair looks like he would like to be anywhere else in the world.

Can I offer a reframe of the common "write the shitty first draft" advice? I like that advice a lot but I think the way it's often presented bounces off a lot of people and activates shit that does not help writing happen.
I think of the first draft as an armature.
If I was making a beautiful bronze statue, I would need to make a clay model first. And, depending on the shape, before I even got out my clay I would need to get some good thick wire and create a basic shape for the clay to adhere to, so it doesn't all fall down. Once I have this essential 3D wire frame, I can start building and subtracting and refining.
But if I try to refine on just clay, it won't have enough of a core to hold it up. I'll sculpt a beautiful hand only to have the whole arm fall off and go smush.
The armature isn't the sculpture. It is the frame you build the sculpture around.
The first draft isn't the novel, it's a sort-of-novel-shaped thing that will hold up everything you build and beautify later.
Write the armature draft. Try to make it a good armature, instead of trying to make it a good novel before it's ready.
Jian Yi is kidnapped on one of the first days of high-school, and kept in house arrest on an isolated island for a long time.
