The Stratt's Vat Discord Server is hosting its first ever event! YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A SERVER MEMBER TO PARTICIPATE.

This event runs from July 27 - August 10. You can create before then, but the official posting period is those two weeks.

RULES

Prompts

Participants will be provided with 10 prompts. [STARGAZE, ALONE, MIRROR, CRIME, ILLNESS, CIGARETTE, AMNESIA, BLOOD, TRAITOR, MOVIE] You can create any fanworks of your choosing inspired by said prompts. Prompts can be used as loosely or as closely as you'd like, as long as inspiration by the prompt is clear in your work.

Creations

Participants can create anything they'd like. Fanfiction, artworks, edits, whatever you'd like, so long as AI has no process in the creation of your work. There's no specific length needed for written works, nor do artworks need to be to a certain 'standard'.

Restrictions

No AI. Ever. No works created with genAI (to our knowledge) will be promoted, and if you use AI in our server, there is a chance you will be banned. Explicit works are fine, so long as they adhere to the guidelines of the platform you're posting them to.

Posting

You're more than welcome to post your works on ao3, tumblr, or any sort of socmed site of your choosing. If you post on tumblr, you can tag the event with #HailMaryPrompts. If on ao3, please add your fic to the collection hailmaryprompts.

8/3- Newton's First Law: Inertia

Submitted by: Anon law of inertia but specifically about stratt and grace! "an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion." some sort of symbolism of how she stays stuck on earth, stuck as the scapegoat, and how he is always on the next thing on erid, and is now a savior for their worlds.

8/4- Newton's Second Law: Force

8/5- Newton's Third Law: Reciprocal Action

8/6- Pale Blue Dot

Submitted by: Anon Would love to see a prompt for earth's new climate/ice age before the beatles make it back, and how eva + the phm team post-launch lives! Are they renegade scientists aboard that ship in the arctic? Was Stratt condemned by all of earth for her role in the phm mission and forced to escape imprisonment, or did she continue the mission afterwards with gov't approval? what do all our cities look like during an ice age? just ice age earth and eva + co. trying to save humanity while grace + rocky are out saving the stars!

8/7- In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

8/8- To Boldly Go

Submitted by: @hellomynameisalias how about a Star Trek AU? Could go many ways. Maybe eridians are part of the federation, and Rocky and Grace are a chief engineer and chief science officer aboard a starship. Or maybe the eridians are more like the klingon (or the borg? 👀) hostile to anything Federation........ until a landing party gets attacked and Grace has to rely on the help of an also-marooned enemy! Or maybe erid has just broken the lightspeed travel barrier, and a first contact entourage is sent down to interview the genuis engineer who invented their first warp drive...

8/9- Many Universes

Submitted by: Anon 1)favorite quote/bit from favorite tv show, but redone as phm fanart, 2)seconding the crossover prompt <3

8/10- First Contact

Submitted by: @blue-gears First contact -> Grace in the lab, naming and discovering Astrophage biology, or any other character or OC first learning about Astrophage or the Petrova Problem, or stuff about the ArcLight probe :)

8/11- Culture Exchange

8/12- Cosmic Mythos

Submitted by: @nebulae-astros-official Graeco roman mythology or pjo crossover!! Bc yk astronomical objects are usually named after greek/roman mythology figures and ryland grace, son of apollo will not get out of my head ALSO grace and Rocky Orpheus and Eurydice parallels AND adrian and Rocky odypen parallels

8/13- Homesick/Earthsick

Submitted by: @doodlesthedragon Homesick Downtime The Crew's All Here Touched Starved

8/14- Radiation Damage

Submitted by: @specialagentartemis Prompt submission: radiation damage. (Grace gets a ‘sun’burn during a beach day on Erid? Fic about the Patrova taskforce attempting to find other ways to kill astrophage closer to home? The bittersweetness of the Hail Mary quilt fading in the dome’s “sun” over time? Rocky’s 46 Year Long Cosmic Horror Nightmare? yes)

8/15- Laser

Submitted by: @rocky-core port.. prom.. pomt.. Thingy: Grace is playing with a Lazer pointer as rocky is trying to catch it

8/16- Petrova

Submitted by: @starinthegarden i love the petrova lines so much they’re so pretty… there’s also the petrova taskforce, irina petrova, the petrova frequency.. there’s a lot of things lolol

8/17- Xeno-Veterinarian

Submitted by: @fan-stuff-and-things Grace's Eridian doctors are large animal veterinarians. There are some awkward adjustment periods.

8/18- Rainbow

Submitted by: @j-atticus Prompt submission: rainbows! Another: red string of fate

8/19- Extra-Spectral Colors

Submitted by: Anon Grace describes something as magneta and rocky is confused as to why the light-to-texture device reads it as green. (Middle rough) Cue Grace having to explain that magenta happens when the average wavelength of an item falls into the green section but the item itself actually reflects exclusively red and blue light so our brain interprets it as magenta instead of green. Rocky baffled that the human brain just straight up invented a color that doesn't really exist.

8/20- Echolocation

Submitted by: Anon "Rocky's echolocation "vision"/what Rocky "sees"/Rocky POV

8/21- Final Voyage

Submitted by: @delyth88 Prompt suggestion: Grace has spent nearly a decade on the Hail Mary by the time he gets to Erid. Like him its survived far longer than was ever intended and is looking a bit worn around the edges. How does he feel leaving the ship? Is it a relief, or does he miss it? Is he sad to go? Scared about leaving its safety even though it's cramped? Or is it falling apart when he gets to Erid and no longer a safe haven? And what does Rocky think about all of this?

8/22- Recovery

Submitted by: Anon i feel like not a lot of people talk about grace's starvation near the End of the trip to erid and I think that it should be more delved into with more impact such as the obvious more medical reasons such as unable to gain weight or muscle ect ect, but I would like to see more ED rep, especially because personally I head cannon grace as on the spectrum, and I, who is on the spectrum, suffer from mild arfid. so its something I'd like to see :D Submitted by: Anon i want more of grace gaining weight on erid! i want him recovering from starvation (and if you so choose, an eating disorder) and gaining weight and being happy!! also! physical disabilities. maybe grace has to use a cane or a wheelchair or crutches or compression clothes. maybe rocky has chronic pain or joint issues or chronic fatigue. (we should make the rock disabled too)

8/23- Celestial Divinity

Submitted by: @volswaidkman So i saw an au where Grace is just an angel sent down to earth to help humans save their universe and i liked it but i dont remember the og creator s uh.... Angel Grace AU as a prompt?

8/25- Thermodynamic Disequilibrium

Submitted by: Anon prompt in honor of this heat wave. put that man in a 95° spaceship. let him cook

8/26- Astronomical Arts & Crafts

Submitted by: Anon almost all of Grace's clothes are falling apart. he also needs a new hyperfixation. so he gets really really into fiber arts and makes so many clothes that the eridians get genuinely concerned.

8/27- Planetary Surface

Submitted by: Anon prompt: surface of Adrian!!

8/28- Eridian Biome

Submitted by: Anon Eridian biomes? I know they're under a ton of atmospheric pressure, but what about at different altitudes of the planet? Or how about Eridian civilization, like do they have villages or cities, what do their space elevators look like? Landscape prompt?

8/29- Eridian Exploration

Submitted by: @psychicdelusionblizzard Prompt submission! Grace leaving the biodome and exploring the dark surface of Erid, and the cities developed to operate in the pitch black. Now, Rocky's the one guiding a be-hamster-balled Grace through a foreign world.

Why an event center?

The aim of this blog is to provide a landing point to see what PHM-specific events are happening, and stay updated on the status of these events.

What events may be promoted on this blog?

Zines, big bangs, fanweeks, prompt challenges, gift exchanges, contests, showdowns, multi animator projects, etc. Any PHM-focused event that is free to participate in is welcome here!

I will include events that are focused on ships, regardless of my own preferences. I will include events regardless of content rating.

What is the content of the blog?

For events hosted on Tumblr, I will reblog all relevant updates. For events hosted outside of Tumblr, I will post/reblog only interactive posts such as interest checks, applications, pre-orders and releases.

Some events will be focused on certain ships. These will be tagged accordingly so people can easily find or block according to preference.

Who runs this blog?

Call me Iseia :) My main blog is @theluckygroundhog (beware the fandom hop lol). PHM blog is @grace-rocky-blogs.
