Iludida do Carlos

The event is open for everybody to join, there’s no formal sign-up. It’s hosted on both Tumblr and Archive of Our Own. If you share your creations here, too, after the work reveal, please tag us @gaxfest and #gax fest 2026 so we can see and reblog your posts.

FEST RULES

🦁 George Russell/Max Verstappen should be the main pairing. (There can be other pairings but the creation (story, drawing, GIF set, video etc.) has to focus on Gax.)

🐍 You can create any type of work, writing, art, GIF sets, podfics, videos, posters/edits, web-weaves, crafts, anything.

🦁 There’s no minimal wordcount or equivalent for any type of work. I want this to be a stress-free fest and I know a lot of people are tired/burnt out, so 100-word drabbles and quick sketches are also welcome here.

🐍 This is an AI free event. Please respect your fellow creators and do not bring any AI slop here. There’s no minimal word count (or equivalent) so that everybody can create something.

🦁 All ratings and themes are welcome but please tag appropriately.

I don't want this profile to be dead during prompting so I'll reblog prompt ideas every once in a while to inspire you to create. 😊

data taken from 01-01-2025 until 15-12-2025 (why don't you just wait until the end of the year? well, im bored and quite free now, not sure during the holiday later....also the season practically ended already so ☺️)

this is based on fics gained during this time frame only NOT TOTAL WORKS.

Max had the most ships in the top 30; (Total: 8). the paddock slut that he is smh.

russtappen had the most outstanding fic growth in 2025. for ref, their total works are 2356 so about 2.2k fics came from this year alone. in contrast, they only gained 95 fics during last year. george's increasing popularity this season definitely played the part, also they did have a lot of moments this year so, its not really surprising i guess.

that said, charles, oscar and george had the most positive increases in almost all of their ships data.

honourable mention: isack hadjar/liam lawson @ 31st place.

thought you guys would get a kick out of this one
