#fandom pride event

This is a little fan event that I’ve put together to help bring a little joy, community, and creativity into the world for Pride Month. I hope you join in on the fun and enjoy yourselves! And it’s back again for another year!

(June 1st - June 30th)🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

What is Rainbow Rush?

I’m glad you asked! It’s a fan event done by me to just bring a lot of good feelings, and hopefully good times to people this Pride Month, through the act of small (or big, if you’d like) creative creations! Think “no pressure creative exercises centered around Pride Month!”

Essentially my goal is to allow people to create – with small projects being the minimum (drabble, small doodles/sketches, etc.) – something quick and fun for the month of June: Pride month!

What kind of creative works are allowed?

Anything and everything! Writing, art, digital art (think gif making as an example), crafts, music, etc! It just has to fit within the boundaries of the prompt(s), SFW and NSFW are both welcomed (so think fluff vs smut), and no AI is allowed under any circumstances.

What are the rules?

The rules are very simple:

For writing, a 500 word (drabble) minimum requirement.

For art, basically think what can take you probably up to no more than an hour (so think something done during a lunch break or before bed.) Doodles, stick figure drawings, small little things that don’t have to be fully fleshed out and perfect.

One big reason I wanted to put this together was to give people something to do as a somewhat fun creative activity, that can also be exercises that don’t need to be completed or perfect. You can and absolutely may go for larger projects or do more than what’s listed, but you also absolutely don’t have to.

Do I have to do every prompt provided?

Absolutely not! Feel free to skip around or do whichever you’d like! One, all, or some! I tried to keep it pretty simple, but I know some prompts aren’t for everyone, and that’s ok! Again, I want this to be fun and creative! Don’t worry about not doing them all.

Wait, there’s multiple prompts listed on one day, do I have to do every single one?

Nope! I put many together because they either fit under the same umbrella, or I wanted to include them and didn’t have the extra space. I wanted to include as many as I could to give everyone a seat at the table, so to speak, as well as offering as much choice as possible. You don’t have to do every single one (but you can if you’d like!)

Is Rainbow Rush open to any fandom, character, and/or ship?

You betcha! Feel free to create for any fandom, character, ship, etc., that you’d like! Crossovers are also welcomed!

Can I skip around prompts? What if I miss a day and still want to do that prompt?

Excellent question! You are absolutely allowed to do things out of order, and if you miss a day, feel free to go back and do it anyways!

What if I’d like to do several for one prompt? And what is “free day” all about?

You may absolutely do as many for each prompt as you’d like! Create to your heart’s content! And “free day” is for whatever prompt you’d like that still connects back to Pride. I know I didn’t fit every single thing in, and I don’t want people to feel excluded, so that’s your day to create something for whatever you’d like and that I missed! Again, just please have it connect back to Pride in some form or another.

What if I’d like to post my work somewhere else besides here?

I currently only have this up on tumblr, but feel free to post your creations wherever you’d like! Go and be free! It’d be wonderful if you could still share this event in some form or fashion, but you’re also not obligated to.

What are the prompts?

So very glad you asked! The prompts for the 30 days are:

1. Rainbow

2. Lesbian/Sapphic/WLW

3. Gay/Queer awakening

4. Weather event (kissing in the rain, snowball fight, etc)

5. “It was always you.”

6. Dance, dance! (Something connected to dance of any kind!)

8. “I was scared to tell you.”

9. First love (Can be platonic or romantic!)

10. Questioning

11. Bisexual/Pansexual/Anything else that you feel fits here under the same umbrella/category.

16. “I didn’t think that would work”

17. Joy/Happiness

23. MLM/Gay Men/Queer Men

24. Butch/Femme/Bear/Otter/Etc

29. Parade/Club (Think pride parade or a queer club/bar/etc!)

30. Colors of the rainbow (Pick and choose any and/or all colors of the rainbow!)

I tried to keep the prompts vague on purpose to allow for more creative freedom and interpretations. Feel free to create with them as you’d like! I also switched them up for the new year of the event!

If you’d like to join and do create anything, please use the tag Rainbow Rush 2026, so everyone can see it, as well so it can be easily shared!
