❤️🔥 Microfic May 2026 ❤️🔥
Hello, microficcers, guess who's back??? 😍
We said we were done with microfics (that was a lie). We said 2024 was the last fest (um, well). But in this crazy year of 2026, we are back and we are better than ever! If you were with us for previous iterations, first of all, welcome back! Second of all, things are going to look a little different this year.
So, let’s get to it! What’s happening with Microfic May 2026?
Microfic May is a multi-fandom, open prompt challenge that encourages the creation of microfiction.
We define microfics as works of fiction that are 50 words or less. However, this limit is merely a suggestion. We accept all lengths!
This is a multi-fandom event open to all characters, ships, ratings, genres, and content.
Participants must be aged 18+ and follow DLDR, SALS, and YKINMKATO etiquettes. (What does this mean?)
The use of AI is prohibited! If we find out you have used AI during any part of the writing process, you will be banned from the fest and your works will be removed from the collection.
We have 32 prompts that are split onto 4 mini bingo cards. Pick a card and get started! If you’re feeling extra ambitious, writing one prompt per day will complete all cards.
Don’t like a prompt? Each bingo card comes with one Alternate prompt option.
To submit a work, add it to our collection on AO3 Microfic May 2026 or post it on Tumblr with the tag #microficmay2026. Feel free to mention us at @microficmay, but we will only be reblogging completed bingo cards at the end of each week.
