#cfww2022

Greetings, folks! 

You’ll recall that recently, I asked everyone to vote on the prompts for our upcoming Coldflash Winter Week, which is due to take place December 26th–January 1st.

The votes are in (and voting is now closed)! As always, we had a lot of amazing prompts to choose from, but there were definitely some clear favourites. I used a combination of the most popular prompts, in no particular order. There are two prompts for each day, to give everyone plenty of options. I’ve tried to include a themed and non-themed prompt for each day of the event, for or for those of you who may not celebrate Christmas or don’t feel like sticking to a strictly winter theme! 

Like the last event, we’re keeping it chill *finger guns*. Any kinds of fanwork are welcome! Fanfic, fan art, playlists, moodboards, fan videos, edits, gifsets… whatever your heart desires. Feel free to make as many contributions as you’d like---the more the merrier!

Without further ado, the prompts for the event are...

Day 1

Mistletoe The Rogues

Day 2

Holiday Truce Secret Relationship

Day 3

First Christmas Fake Dating

Day 4

Secret Santa Body Swap

Day 5

Cuddling for warmth Post Oculus

Day 6

“Let me help" Ice skating

Day 7

New Year’s Kiss Free day

Once again, is a pretty casual event, with no commitments or sign-ups. The only rules are as follows:

1.      Remember not to start posting until the event begins! You can start sharing your contributions on December 26th. If you’re a little behind schedule, don’t worry—I’ll continue to monitor the tag for a short time after the event is over in case anyone misses the deadline!

2.      Make sure your work includes the prompts! There’s plenty of room for creative freedom, so hopefully these suggestions will spark something for you… pun intended. You could even mix and match---maybe Barry begs Len to let Barry “help” him on the ice rink, or they have to cuddle for warmth post-Oculus. So many possibilities! 

3.      The tag for this weekend will be cfww2022, so remember to tag all your contributions! When we get a little closer to the time, I’ll also start an AO3 collection where you can share your works with the world!

4.      Please use appropriate tags. If your work is nsfw, or contains themes that might be upsetting or triggering, please make sure to tag it as such. We want everyone to be safe and enjoy themselves during this event, so be mindful of your fellow users and make sure to leave warnings if necessary!

5.      Have fun!

As always, if anyone has any questions, please feel free to drop me a message!
