Day 1: To Whom It May Concern

Correspondence Letters | Passed Notes | Email Chain | Chat Fic | Reply/Comment Thread | Voicemail Messages ALT: System Commands | Inspired by Dialogue

Day 1 is an unusual format theme day. To fill today's prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork that consists primarily or entirely of communication between characters. The provided "System Commands" alternate option gives some inspiration for an added twist about who or what might constitute a character that can be conversed with. The other alternate gives the option to stick with a more traditional format, but take your inspiration directly from an exact line or lines of canonical dialogue.

Day 2: It's On Sight

Visual Media Comics | Collage | AMVs | Video Performance & Essays | Fansite | Photography | Flipbooks & Animation ALT: Using or Featuring Sign Language | Fancasting

Day 2 is an unusual medium theme day. To fill today's prompt, create a piece of visual fanwork. This can be the more typical fanart of course, but this event in particular would love to see rarer works of visual fanwork! For your first alternate, you can again stick to more traditional prose fanfiction provided your fic features the use of Sign Language as a main component. Your other alternate is to make a fancast of your chosen fandom. You can fancast something that doesn't have a cast, or recast something that does. For an added challenge, make a fake IMDb screenshot to show off your cast!

Day 3: So There I Was…

First Person Accounts Diary Entries | Captain's Logs | Self-Narration | Autobiography | Today I Learned.../Am I The Asshole? | Author Insert ALT: Hourly Snapshot/Day in the Life | Trackers (ex: Swear Jar, __ Days Since __)

Day 3 is an unusual format theme day. To fill today's prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork that necessarily must be in first person point of view. For this theme, you can also do an otherwise traditional self-insert -- just make sure that shit is as self-indulgent as you can possibly make it! It should be abundantly clear that the point of view character is you, or an idealized version of yourself, or whatever. No generic, widely consumable, easily-projected over MCs here! The first alternate is like the hourly comic challenge. Put a time stamp and a quick sketch or a line or two of text summarizing what your chosen character did that hour. The other alternate is trackers such as swear jars, [blank] days since [blank], etc. You can physically make a tracker like this, or you can make or rec & review a fanwork that features one as a main component.

Day 4: Are You Hearing This Shit?

Audio Media Music | Poetry/Lyrics | Fanmixes/Playlists | Podfic | Audio Plays ALT: Using or Featuring Conlang | Script Format

Day 4 is an unusual medium theme day. To fill today's prompt, make an audio/aural fanwork. Write music, poetry, lyrics, or record yourself performing those. Make a fanmix or fannishly themed playlist, record a podfic, or write/record an audio play. For your first alternate, you can demonstrate your own fluency in a constructed language, or make or rec & review a fanwork that features conlang(s) as a main component. For the second alternate, write a fanfic in script format.

Day 5: Stay Gold, Ponyboy

The Outsiders Personal Ads | Outsider POV | OC-Centric | Crossovers & Isekai | Breaking the Fourth Wall ALT: Environmental Storytelling | Fandom of a Friend

Day 5 is an unusual format theme day. To fill today's prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork that is all about outsider characters. For the first alternate option of "Environmental Storytelling" you can use any media you want to accomplish the effect. To fill the "Fandom of a Friend" alternate prompt, make yourself the outsider! Choose a fandom that one of your friends/mutuals is into that you haven't directly experienced the source material of, and make the best fanwork you can manage with only secondhand knowledge.

Day 6: You'll Just Have To Taste Me

Edible Media Recipes (Inspired By) | Recipes (In-Universe) | Food Sculpture ALT: Drunk Review | Food-Focused

Day 6 is an unusual medium theme day. To fill today's prompt, make an edible -- or at least taste-able -- fanwork. You can make a real-world recipe that is inspired by your fandom, or write a recipe or cookbook of foods that only exist within the fictional universe in question. The first alternate is to write or record a drunk (or otherwise impaired via ingested substance) review, or an in-universe version of Drunk History, etc. The second alternate is to make or rec & review a more traditional fanwork that is heavily focused on food (or taste/flavor, even if it's not food).

Day 7: And On The Seventh Day…

Rest Day Use today to take a break, catch up, or share and celebrate what has been posted so far.

Day 8: Everyone is A Main Character

Social Media Tumblr Dash Simulation | Instagram Pages | In-Universe Live Reactions | In-Universe Discourse | TikTok Videos/Transcripts ALT: Ask Blog/Fictional Account Takeover | Not Your Friend's Fandom

Day 8 is an unusual format theme day. To fill today's prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork that uses social media as a main component or that features conflicts/mechanics/etc that can only exist alongside social media. For an alternate option, create a roleplaying ask blog (ex: ask-holmes, where you answer asks in character as Sherlock Holmes) or roleplay an account takeover by your chosen character. To fill the "Not Your Friend's Fandom" prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork for a fandom you're into that none (or comparatively few) of your friends/mutuals are also into.

Day 9: Hands-On Experience

Physical Media Sculpture | Textiles | Cosplay | Book Binding | Jewelry | TTRPG Figures & Sets | Dance/Choreography | LARPing & Reenactment ALT: Stage a Scene Using Items/Merch | No Dialogue

Day 9 is an unusual medium theme day. To fill today's prompt, create a tactile fanwork. Dance here includes dancing without structured choreography, and choreography includes dance steps as well as fight choreography and other movement direction. For the alternates stage and photograph/record a scene from canon using household objects, or make/rec & review a more traditional fanwork that has no dialogue in it.

Day 10: Whatever or Whoever He Is

In-Universe Fame Celebrity Gossip | Tabloid Cover/Article | Paparazzi Encounters | Entertainment | In-Universe Fan Content | Reader Insert ALT: Genre-bending | Expectation vs Reality

Day 10 is an unusual format theme day. To fill today's prompt, create or rec & review a fanwork consisting primarily or entirely of the publicity around characters who are (in)famous within their own universes. For today, you can also make or rec & review reader-insert fics. These should be the opposite of the author-inserts: second person point of view, and with an MC as universal as possible. The first alternate is to create a remake of your chosen source material as if it was a different genre, or write a Netflix description/critic's review style summary of such a remake. The second alternate is to make an "Expectation vs Reality" meme, comic, or another kind of fanwork with that general setup.

Day 11: Prince of The Land of Stench!

Olfactory Media Perfumes & Colognes | Candles | Bath Products | Potpourri ALT: YA Scent Profile | Follow the Scent

Day 11 is an unusual medium theme day. To fill today's prompt, create a fanwork that stinks -- literally. You can physically make your smelly items, or just list the ingredients you'd use for fragrance if you did make them. For your first alternate, write a drabble about your chosen character(s) describing how they smell using the format "[food item], [natural phenomenon], and something uniquely [character]". Fill the "Follow the Scent" prompt by making or reccing & reviewing a fanwork in which a character solves a mystery, finds or recognizes someone, something, or someplace, or otherwise saves the day using their sense of smell.

Day 12: A Study in Werewolf Transgenderism

In-Universe Nonfiction News, Ads, & Propaganda | Tutorials & Advice | True Crime & Conspiracy | Academia | Incident Reports | History | Law ALT: Lore, Data Analysis, & Meta | Two Truths and A Lie

Day 12 is an unusual format theme day. To fill today's prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork that consists primarily or entirely of in-universe nonfiction. Alternatively, share your own nonfiction fandom work collecting or analyzing lore/data or write/share some meta/interpretation. To fill the "Two Truths and A Lie" prompt, make an interactive post where viewers can vote on which provided option about your chosen source material, fandom, fanwork(s), etc is untrue.

Day 13: Now For Something Completely Different

Misc & Mix It Up Day Multimedia | Games & Challenges | Technological Creations | Roleplay & Round Robin | Fic Remix/Fanwork of a Fanwork ALT: Off Fanon Model | Character/Trope Roulette

Day 13 is a whatever-goes day, and can count toward either completion award! To fill today's prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork that uhh... is any of that shit. Games could be board games, could be drinking games. Tech could be apps, extensions, video game patches/skins, fansites, bots, girl I don't know. A fic remix is when you put a (respectful) spin on someone else's already-written fic, such as writing it from a different character's point of view or writing an "extended version". Other "fanwork of fanwork" would be like fic written for art/art drawn for fic, fic sequels, etc. To fill the "Off Fanon Model" prompt, make or rec & review a fanwork that goes against a non-canon detail that is pervasively present in other fanwork. To fill the "Trope Roulette" prompt, find or make a roulette wheel of fic tropes or of your chosen source material's characters, spin it, and make or rec & review a fanwork that features you got as a main component, even -- in fact, especially -- if it's a trope or character that you usually don't fuck with.

Day 14: Sharing is Caring

Rec Lists Fic Recs/Reviews | Art Recs/Recs Gallery | Fanvid Playlists | Themed Masterlists | Follow Forevers | Creator Spotlight ALT: Comment On & Share Other Participants' Works

Day 14 is the final day, and can count toward either completion award! To fill today's prompt, make a rec list or write a detailed review/recommendation. Your rec(s) can be for fics, art, videos, creators, or even other fans. Make a masterlist or a collection on a theme, spotlight your favorite AO3 author, make a powerpoint presentation about why everyone should play the cool game you found on itch, or gas up the weird artist you follow on bandcamp. The only alternate for today is to share and leave a comment on the works other participants have posted for this event.
