12 Days of Solstice BG3 Fandom Event
Details under the cut!
I put together a seasonal prompt list for December for any BG3 fans to take part in! (Shoutout to @play-me-a-durge for a clutch assist with brainstorming - thank you, friend). Bring whatever energy or talents you have or simply watch and enjoy - all contributions are welcome :)
How you can participate:
Use the collection bg3_solstice on AO3
Use the #bg3solstice tag on Tumblr
You're welcome to do as few or as many of these as you have the desire and time for. Both SFW and NSFW content is just fine but please be sure to tag anything NSFW as such since this is not an exclusively NSFW event. Any medium is welcome but I imagine the below are the most common:
Virtual photography (VP)
Headcanons
Short fic
Drabbles
Bullet list of ideas
Fanart
How to use this prompt list
I'll be real with you, I'm a little chaos gremlin and I'm not here to gatekeep. Feel free to use this as a rough guideline and have fun! I myself will be following the prompts through a specific lens, which I'll be calling "12 days of Thiefmas." But if you're looking for a little more structure to help you brainstorm, here's what I had in mind when I put it together:
Each day is meant to celebrate a different BG3 companion including Tav/Durge, with Day 12 being a free day to focus on your favorite NPC or whatever/whoever else you want. The words next to each character's name is kind of a bonus theme or object to incorporate if you want to challenge yourself.
For instance, this could be a date/friendly outing with these characters, or perhaps your OC shopping for a Solstice gift for them, or maybe you want to imagine what kind of Solstice traditions or memories that character has.
Timeline
Our favorite tadfools would have likely celebrated Winter Solstice late in Act 3 based on the game's timeline so following the Forgotten Realms calendar this event kicks off on 8 December and runs for 13 days including the bonus day on 20 December which would be BG3's Winter Solstice day.
What if it's not winter where I live?
The tadfools may be celebrating the Winter Solstice but this event can be hemisphere agnostic! Everyone loves a beach day episode, am I right? Any of these prompts could be done for summer or winter so don't let that stop ya.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments :) If this sounds like a fun event you'd be interested in seeing/participating in, consider helping to spread the word with a reblog!
