FAQs and Rules (Updated for the Dice Game 2026)
There really aren't many hard rules for entries to the Fugitive Doctor Celebration. The main two are:
The fugitive Doctor has to appear or be discussed in your work
NO AI "ART". AI art is theft. If you enter AI art or writing, you get blocked.
And the slightly softer rules:
Try to tag spoilers and characters involved in your contributions so people can avoid them if necessary
Reblog entries to spread awesome art and meta
Leave comments or tags to say thank you and compliment the creators
Tag your friends that you think might enjoy the works so they can share in the fun!
But to answer some questions pre-emptively, here are some things you might be wondering about:
Just post them and either tag this blog (@thefugitivedoctorweek) or tag the post as fugitivedoctorweek2026 or fugitivedoctorweek.
Do I need to use all dice/prompts?
Nah, you are free only to roll specific dice or even throw out prompts after the fact. Or even choose specific prompts without rolling for them. Whatever inspires you best.
Is [this type of art work] allowed? How about meta analysis?
Yes! This is for ANY kind of art. (Except for AI. Which isn't art.) And we love to see meta, too!
Is the event based solely on the TV show or is eu material allowed ?
Any source material is allowed, just please tag spoilers.
Are shipping fics/art allowed?
Is gen fic/art (non-shipping content) allowed?
Can I also enter something I have already posted before if it fits within a prompt?
Yes, totally, we are here to celebrate old works, too. Do feel invited to make something new on top of that, though ;)
Are OCs/reader inserts/self inserts/etc allowed?
Anything is allowed. As long as it involves the fugitive Doctor and you have made it yourself, you may create whatever you like.
Do I need to post my entry on tumblr or can I post it on ao3/wattpad/etc?
You do not need to make a tumblr post. However, since I don't have much experience hosting - and exclusively am familiar with ao3 - I have made a collection on ao3 that you can post works to, but that's about as much as I can offer. If you would like to give me permission to make a tumblr post for your work, just dm me with the link and I will make a "further contributions" post once a day linking to all works that can be found off the site.
You haven't reblogged my contribution. Is there anything wrong with it?
Uhm - well either it is not the right date yet and I am holding out for the right moment, I just haven't gotten round to it yet today or I probably have made an honest mistake. In any case, just shoot me a message and I'll get back to you asap! Don't be shy to notify me, I do get things messed up easily and I know from my own experience you might feel like a bother, but you aren't. Promise <3
Please come to my ask box or just include your question in a reblog :)
