Peaches and Plums Big Bang 2026!

Please check out all the specifics, including more details about their schedule, in their post. However, since this event covers a lot of 2026, here are a few important points:

Writer sign-ups are open until May 25, 2026

Artist sign-ups are open from May 4-June 15, 2026

Works due October 12, 2026

Painting completed for Amnesty Week, Aug. 11-17, 2025, for the @magiciansfanworksextravaganza challenge Welcome Home!, Week 2, "It's been a long time," with special emphasis on the Mosaic.

I created the drawing for this painting for the original Welcome Home event, same theme, so it seemed only fitting to finish the painting for Amnesty Week.

I love Eliot's sunrise! I know the true answer to the Mosaic is the most beautiful of all, yet I wish their heartfelt efforts could have been rewarded, or at least acknowledged. (Imagine the Mosaic saying: "I love it! It's beautiful! But sorry, no prize.") I know how much time, energy, and heart they must have put into working out each artistic pattern, with so much hope that each would truly solve the puzzle--you can see how much Eliot believes it will work by his prayer to the Mosaic, followed by his deep disappointment when it doesn't work. As an artist, I also feel for them in having to tear out their work so soon after completing it! Such is life...and that is the point... But after spending so long building it, by the way Eliot relaxes when Q promises to write it down, perhaps their Mosaic pattern journal also provides some balm for the artist's soul: at least Eliot's pattern won't be entirely forgotten.

To see this painting with greater resolution/sharpness (if you have the chance to view it on a computer or laptop, you'll get more detail), visit Chapter 16 of Mosaic Haiku on AO3:

Mosaic Haiku (with Art) - Chapter 16 - EliotQueliot - The Magicians (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Here's the drawing I posted during the original Welcome Home! event, along with more about the theme.

Eliot Waugh didn’t know him, definitely didn’t want him, and probably saw guys like Quentin as…redshirts or something. Maybe NPCs. Yeah, that made sense; he was a shopkeeper in the video game that was Eliot’s life, and all his lines would be garbage like ‘hail, fair traveler, for I have wares to sell.’

He shook his head. Why the fuck was he envisioning this guy as a quasi-medieval quester? Probably because he would look great in hose with a lute slung over his back. Shit. Quentin knew a fourth Witcher rewatch was a bad idea.

(Quentin finds his bravery, the heat he craves, and Valentine's Day treats.)

This is for Amnesty Week 2025!

Event: Welcome Home

Amnesty Week 2025

Welcome Home! - Week 4 theme: Magical creature—A being from the show or books, or from mythology/folklore, or one you make up.

They stayed as long as they dared, but there were still too many teachers around for the group to get any look without taking undue risks. With a new understanding of the room and the setup, they made plans to return again the next day. It was logical to make their move when they were on solid footing. That was also why Eliot had no intention of waiting until the next day.

Our mission: to offer fanworks events celebrating The Magicians (Lev Grossman, SyFy) on Tumblr and AO3. Fanworks of all types are welcome! WIPs are welcome! No signups needed.

We've got a lot planned for you in the coming months.

Our next challenge: Time Is an Illusion, Dec. 8-16, 2025.

It may be hard to believe, but this December marks the ten-year anniversary of the first episode of The Magicians. To celebrate that, we’re running a week-long event. The themes are anniversary, 1x01-inspired, and/or time-related.

In 2026, we have four events planned welcoming The Magicians fanworks. For all of them, we welcome all types of fanworks; additions to existing WIPs are welcome, provided they fit the theme for the event; you may create as many things as you want for each event; no sign-ups needed!

Mar. 23-29, 2026, Don't Make Me Sing (Every Single One of Us Has to Sing) (fanworks event centered around music)

June 15-21, 2026, Queliot Week (recurring event; inaugural revival of original event; will have themes to choose from)

Aug. 10-16, 2026, Amnesty Week (recurring event; reopens all prior unique, non-recurring events)

Aug. 31-Oct. 25, 2026, The Tales of the Seven Keys (anything Keys Quest welcome! We'll have one week per key and one catchup week--but also anything related to the Keys Quest will be welcome anytime, just in case you're not retrieving your keys in the same order as on the show!)

Please see our website Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza for updates! (You'll need a computer or laptop to see everything. Calendar on the left; Navigation and Project Links on the right.)

And don't forget to check out works created for our prior events:

Join us from August 10-16, 2026 (Eastern time zone), for our second Amnesty Week! We welcome fanworks of all types celebrating The Magicians (Lev Grossman/SyFy). Want to dream up new works for prior events, or just enjoy the creative vibes? Please come party with us!

For Amnesty Week, Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza reopens all previous non-recurring challenges. (Note: this doesn't include Queliot Week, which is a separate recurring event that reopens its own prior themes each June.)

Events reopening for Amnesty Week 2026:

Don't Make Me Sing (Every Single One of Us Has to Sing)

Time Is an Illusion

Warm Up

Welcome Home!

As many or few things as you wish to create are welcome, as long as they fit the event guidelines. Warm Up has a length restriction, but Welcome Home! does not. All our events have themes, but one choice for Welcome Home! allows new additions to existing WIPs that don't fit any other theme.

Amnesty Week takes place on AO3 and Tumblr. We have AO3 subcollections for each challenge, and we'll reblog your work here and gather it in our recap posts for Amnesty Week 2026. We'll also add your work to the recap posts for the original events!

As always, new works and additions to existing WIPs are welcome, as are all types of fanworks (fic, art, edits, vids, cosplay, crafting, podfic, fanmixes, pinboards, moodboards, and more). If you wish to submit individual chapters of the same work as separate entries, that's totally valid! They could be for the same theme, or different ones.

Stay tuned for more specific guidelines! In the meantime...

Here's more about those prior events!

Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza has been such a delight. The first post went up Oct. 9, 2024, and we held our first challenge from Dec. 1-8, 2024. So it's now been a little over a year's worth of challenges—an incredible thing to share with fellow fans of The Magicians (Lev Grossman, SyFy)! Thank you so much to everyone who participated, is taking the time to enjoy these amazing works by so many creators, and/or has joined us in the Discord to chat with fellow fans.

In case you're looking for some fanworks to enjoy (during long winter nights or any other time), here are all our challenges so far in one place.

Also I'd just like to add an additional thank you to the mods who've helped us and creators who've joined us over the past year-plus.

Finally, keep an eye on our website and/or join our Discord to learn about (or help suggest) future fanworks events for The Magicians! We've got a lot planned for the coming year! (Discord is not required for any challenge.) Details below.

Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza Challenges

Our first four fanworks events have brought us 182 individual entries (some of them containing multiple chapters or types of work). The following breakdown counts entries as they were presented (separately or together), except in 3 cases where types of work presented together were distinct enough to warrant a separate mention.

Art

86 works of art and art chapters, including collage, drawings, edit/graphic, paintings, pinboard, etc. (Art chapters had multiple works.)

Fanmix

1 separately identified fanmix; additionally, several fic chapters identified and/or linked to mood music.

Fic

84 fic or fic chapters (not counting poetry chapters counted below). Sometimes fic with multiple chapters were presented as one entry, so there are more chapters than this number reflects.

Poetry

4 poems or poetry chapters, most of which included quite a number of poems per chapter.

Video

10 video-related works, including animatics, edits, gifsets, vids, etc.

Individual Events

Time Is an Illusion

Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the first episode of The Magicians! Themes: anniversary, 1x01-related, and time-related.

Amnesty Week 2025

Reopening all prior non-recurring fanworks events we've held! Bringing more work to prior themes

Welcome Home!

Seven weeks with multiple themes! Themes: Welcome Home! (overall event theme); Week 1: Home; Week 2: "It's been a long time" (especially Mosaic fic); Week 3: Seasonal/holiday; Week 4: Magical creature; Week 5: Returning after absence (or returning to being themselves); Weeks 6-7: Welcome back to WIPs! and catch-up.

Warm Up

Short fanworks (fic to 1.5k; smaller things) on the theme of warmth and warming up, any interpretation.

2026: More fanworks challenges for The Magicians are just around the corner!

We're excited to let you know that our first Amnesty Week will occur from August 11-17, 2025, so you can dream up more fanworks for our previous events! (We also have a new event planned for Dec. 8-16, 2025, so please stay tuned for news about that!)

During any of our Amnesty Weeks, we will reopen all our previous event collections and guidelines, and you may contribute works to any of the previous events.

We're hoping you'll be inspired to create more works for either of the two events we've held so far! As many or few things as you wish to create are welcome, as long as they fit the event guidelines. Works for Welcome Home! will follow the guidelines for Weeks 6-7, which were our catch-up weeks, in which all the weekly themes were open, as well as the overall event theme and Welcome Back to WIPs (no theme necessary).

As always, new works and additions to existing WIPs are welcome, as are all types of fanworks! Read more in the guidelines. Note: Warm Up has a length restriction, but Welcome Home does not. Just as before, if you wish to submit individual chapters of the same work as separate entries, that's totally valid, and we encourage it! They could be for the same theme, or different ones!

Also, note that if you send the first chapter of a new work for one of the event themes, your work is now a WIP, and subsequent chapters may be sent during Amnesty Week under Welcome Home's "Welcome Back to WIPs" category, even if they don't match another theme!

Here's a little more about the events you may join during our first Amnesty Week!
