FOR FANFIC OR META WRITERS - prompts and/or themes for inspiration:

if you wish to add your fics please put the day and prompt in your summary if posting to ao3.

reminder: merlin/arthur do not need to be the one to say the line or be the things exactly! and the + means and/or. these are mostly for inspiration alone. if you would like to just write modern royalty for day one, for example, and not use angst, then that's perfectly fine.

February is for Romancing Stargate! Feb 14-28, 2026.

@melagan is hosting "Romancing McShep" which has 2 simple rules: (1) McShep and (2) a happy ending. Words can be posted here: Romancing McShep 2026 | Archive of Our Own

@mific is hosting "Romancing SGA" which is for any SGA story that doesn't fit into Romancing McShep. Any pairings or unhappy endings are welcome. Works can be posted here: Romancing SGA 2026 | Archive of Our Own

@goddess47 is hosting "Romancing SG-1" which is for any SG-1 (and SGU) works you may want to share. Works can be posted here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Romancing_SG1

It's still early February, so you have time to create your works... fic, art, podfic, mood boards... all types of works are welcome!

What is the Podfic Big Bang?

A challenge to record a fanfic (or series of fics) of a minimum of 10,000 words, between now and the last second of March 31st, 2026, UTC-12.

How do I sign up?

Just read the rules of the Dreamwidth post below and leave a comment saying you're participating. Guest posts are totally acceptable!

Please note, for newbie podficcers

Per AO3's Terms and Conditions (and basic podficcing etiquette!), you must have permission from the fanfic's original author to record their fic. If asking someone seems daunting, there's over 10,000 authors on AO3 with a Blanket Permission to Podfic statement on their profile! You can find a list of authors here, but I highly recommend using the Blanket Permission Highlighter extensions for Chrome and Firefox, to help you see at-a-glance what author's are on the BP list.

Good timezone, Katekyo Hitman Reborn community! This year we’ll be once again hosting the KHRween Rare Pair Week mini-event!

Similar to all other events hosted by us, this is a Rare Pair Week wherein you can create fanworks for your favorite rare KHR relationships. This could be platonic, romantic, so forth. It could even be a crossover pairing or a Canon Character/OC!

As seen in the picture above, the prompts for this spooky season of rare pairs are:

October 29th - Disguse | Ritual

30th - Mystery | Photograph

31st - Haunted | Forest

For more information, please look at the following links:

About | Rules | FAQ | AO3 collection | Ask Box | Discord

As usual, this is an event where we endeavour to share our appreciation for the series, enjoy depicting relationships that aren’t common in fandom spaces, and sometimes even wonder how far we can challenge ourselves with coming up with a pairing that no one else did.

We celebrate love in all its forms in Stargate in the month of February! There's something for everyone!

February 14-28 is the posting dates for whatever works you have -- fic, art, poetry, pod fic, temple dancing -- to share with everyone. No sign ups, no commitment -- only sharing the love.

The rules are pretty lax and if you think your work fits, go for it. We love to celebrate Stargate. No length requirements, all formats, no sign-up... as low pressure as it gets.

Romancing McShep

romancingmcshep celebrates romance with two important caveats; (1) John and Rodney; and (2) happy endings. Whether in Pegasus, on Earth, an AU, or whatever amuses you, you can share the love of John and Rodney.

Romancing SGA

For anything that doesn't fit into Romancing McShep but is Stargate Atlantis, Romancing SGA is the place to be. Other pairings and other endings are more than welcome (even unhappy John/Rodney stories!). Posting is to sga_saturday on Dreamwidth.

AO3 community: SGA_Saturday_Romance_2025

Romancing SG-1 and Romancing SGU

For the SG-1 and SGU folk, don't worry, we've got you covered, too! Any pairings, any endings... all are welcome! Post is to stargatefests on Dreamwidth.

AO3 community: Romancing_stargate_2025

You don't have to post anywhere specific but it's helpful to post at least a link on Dreamwidth to share the love! Or leave a note here and we can reblog your work!
