What's the tag to get reblogged? ✍️

🍁 The tag is #flufftober2026

Make sure there is NO SPACE between flufftober and 2026! We will NOT be checking other variations of this tag!

🍁 It's also good to mention us: @flufftober

🍁 We try to reblog regularly, but tumblr likes to be difficult and wonky. If you're absolutely certain a post has slipped past us, please send us an ask with the link to your post.

🍁 Please make sure that all info is easy to find, either in the post or the tags. It takes a lot of time and energy to research every other post. So, please make sure to at least include the following very clearly:

💜 the day/alt/challenge prompt 💜 the fandom(s) (add "original work" or similar if applicable) 💜 the characters and/or ship(s) (add "oc" or similar if applicable)

What about the ao3 collection? 📝

🍁 The collection's name is Flufftober 2026 (either as flufftober2026 or as flufftober_2026)

🍁 Our collections will never close, so you can always add any late entries.

Deadlines are my nemesis 🥹

Don't worry, late entries are always welcome!

🍁 Reblogs will become less regular after the event has ended.

🍁 We will stop checking the event tag after a few months, so please make sure to tag us: @flufftober
