the essence of a flower

Welcome to No Nut Kinkvember 2025, post edit 1.

You see these prompts? No Nut Kinkvember is about turning these prompts into a sex thing. How you turn them into a sex thing is entirely up to you, along with what kind of sex thing you turn them into, and creativity is encouraged. It's also okay and encouraged to write about a kink without necessarily writing about direct smut!

How seriously you want to take these prompts is another thing entirely up to you. Maybe you want to write a piece about edging while on hold on the phone. Maybe you have a blorbo who would think it's a good idea to try using bread dough as lube. If you want to get silly with it, creativity is always encouraged!

(Despite what the namesake of No Nut November means: yes, you are allowed to nut to this event. Or maybe you, the reader, want to turn this into an arousal denial thing as you read through submissions! The world is your oyster.)

(Side note: when adding "chastity belt", I knew it would basically be a freebie. That being said, I forgot it was already an established kink, possibly making it too easy. I was considering changing day 4 to "Mastercard standards", but then I also realized that one may give someone a new kink if they were to write that prompt.

So, a potential update: anyone who wants to get into chastity belts, or who already is into chastity belts, can still fill the original prompt. But there will also probably be the option of a "Mastercard standards" prompt for day 4.)

Where and when will No Nut Kinkvember be hosted?

No Nut Kinkvember will be hosted on Tumblr and AO3 during the month of November. There will be an AO3 collection to add your works to, created a month before the event in October, and if you @ this blog in posts they will be reblogged. There will also be a submissions box open that you can submit posts to.

The Tumblr tag for this event will be #nonutkinkvember2025, which we will also be looking at for posts to reblog, so make sure to tag your works!

What are the rules?

FULL DISCLOSURE: this is my first time running an event. Thank you to everyone who's been patient with me and asked questions about the rules + given feedback about the rules!!! I'm assembling a mod team with more event experience, and as of this edit, mod applications will go out at a later date! Thankfully, this blog already has a new mod that will help with applications.

In the meantime, the rules have been modified from the original post. Please reread them again!

THIS EVENT IS FOR ADULTS ONLY. MINORS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE.

This event was originally writing only, but I'm considering allowing artwork at the mod team's discretion. We'll talk about it!

Any and all kinks are allowed. Just make sure to tag all kinks present in the work, and add warnings as applicable in a typical AO3 submission.

Do not harass people for their submitted work, for any reason. Yes, this includes for their kinks.

This is a universal fandom event! Anyone of any fandom can join. OCs are welcome too!

When I first made these rules, I didn't know original work uploaded to AO3 for an event would inherently count as fannish, and therefore allowed in AO3's TOS. Once again, thank you to the people who let me know about this! To update this rule: original works on AO3 will be allowed and added to the collection.

If your writing is self-contained in a Tumblr post, as opposed to linking from somewhere else, please add a read more at most after an introductory paragraph or two.

Submission entry will start on November 1st and will close on November 30.

More rules will be updated or added if/when the need arises. If more rules are changed, I will edit this post and reblog it with update notes.

Again, I'll be checking the #nonutkinkvember2025 tag too, and I'm excited to see what everyone does for this event! :]

The ask box will always be open, so don't be afraid to drop by in the meantime!
