Welcome To The Tortured Showgirl Department

☀️Sun-kissed☀️

{adjective}

1: having plenty of bright sunlight; sunny days

2: colour of a person's skin; often noted as a sun-kissed glow

3: freckles are described as ‘kisses’ from the sun

☀️ Slap some sunscreen on, we’re celebrating the inaugural Sun-kissed Lily Evans Summer!☀️

Think tanning topless on a rooftop, summer induced freckles on the collarbone, wet t-shirt contests in the club, tight bikinis on a tropical getaway, skinny-dipping during a camping trip, sleeveless tube tops that stick to sweaty skin, and every sun-drenched moment in between…

You can participate with fanfiction, artwork, edits, playlists, moodboards, graphics, or any other fan-related content!

📅 Event Dates: Starts June 21st (the first day of summer vacation) and ends August 31st (the last day of summer vacation)

🌻 Rules 🌻

1. Your creation needs to include the words sun-kissed, summer, or sun in the creations title, summary, or text.

2. All ships and interpretations of a “sun-kissed summer” are welcome, but it must be Lily Evans focused!!

3. Tag your post with #sunkissedlily2026 and then tag our blog so that the admins can see it, react, and reblog.

4. NSFW content is permitted and—we’d actually prefer it if Lily were missing a few articles of clothing…ya know because it’s ❤️‍🔥hot❤️‍🔥 in the summer…

Are you wondering what to contribute with?

Write about Lily collecting seashells in an oversized T shirt. Draw Lily sleeping in nothing but her underwear because there’s a nationwide heatwave. Imagine Lily showing off her curves in a bikini while slathering herself with sunscreen, or create a moodboard of her falling in love beneath an orange and pink summer sunset.

What’s something you learned while researching a fic?

I don't know... I feel like mostly I am confirming canon facts or looking up a British term for something. I never really do hardcore research for fics.

Does anyone you know in real life know you write fanfiction?

One time at work I got an AO3 notifcation on my phone and a coworker was standign next to me and she was like "I know what that means"
