Welcome to the Marvel Drabble Challenge!
NOTE:
For the purposes of this challenge, we are taking "drabble" literally - your entries must be exactly 100 words.
JUNE'S THEMES:
June 1st to 7th: New Teammates Tell us about how the team handles a new member, whether your team be the X-Men, Agents of SHIELD, Avengers, Thunderbolts*, Guardians of the Galaxy, Dora Milaje, or any others!
June 8th to 14th: Relaxing How does your favourite character relax? How do your OCs or Reader relax? This could be a picnic by the river, a day out on the lake, a day of shopping, reading, movies, etc.
June 15th to 21st: Firsts This can be the first time your character does karaoke, the first time they go swimming, the first mission with the Avengers, the first day of school - whatever you like, as long as it's a first for your character and it fits in the rules above.
June 21st to 30th: AUs Coffeeshop AUs, Soulmates AUs, College AUs, Vampire AUs - give us 100 words of an AU for your character(s).
There are badges for those who participate and those who complete the challenge.
DATES:
The first challenge begins 1st June 2026.
The last day to submit your challenges or masterlists will be 10th July 2026.
RULES:
Must follow the blog & tag us when you post or in your masterlists
When you complete the challenge, please tag us in your masterlist
Must interact with other people's drabbles, be it reblogs and/or comments
We're here for the community, not the drama. If you don't have something nice to say, keep it to yourself. Conversely, when we receive comments for the drabble challenge, let's assume positive intent :)
Along the same lines, be respectful to your fellow creators and commenters.
No NSFW fics with minors. No bestiality. No minor/adult romantic relationships.
Donation requests are prohibited in posts and asks. We cannot validate the legitimacy of every request.
No links to ko-fi, patreon, or anywhere you may be trying to profit off fanfiction. It isn't legal to do so, and we don't want to be caught in that fight.
Ensure all fics are correctly labelled and tagged. Any fics that don't put a content label on NSFW content or any fics that are incorrectly tagged will not be reblogged or added to any current or future collections.
We encourage OC and Reader fic on this blog! In fact, we love it! But please ensure that you're not cross tagging the two as it may risk alienating potential readers looking for one or the other. Also, please ensure to include Marvel in any OC or Reader fics in some way - that is the overall theme of the challenge :)
You must complete as many drabbles as there are days in the month, but you do not have to complete one every day. As long as you have the correct total by the end of the challenge, that's fine!
If you start but don't manage to complete the challenge, tag us anyway! We'll have a list of fics of participants that we'll be happy to add you to!
No AI. If you're found to be using AI either for the drabbles themselves or accompanying graphics, your work will be removed from the collection and you'll be blocked from the page.
OTHER STUFF:
This will be the first iteration of the Drabble Challenge - there will be a second in November (the most popular option in the poll!).
Hopefully this will let us iron out any kinks in the process.
You can combine your entries with other events so long as they permit it.
Our sister pages @marvel-oc-hub (June Pride Event) and @sam-a-palooza (Spring Shipping Weeks) both permit you to combine events.
If you run another page that permits combining events, please drop it in the reblogs or comments and we'll compile a list here!
