THREE WEEK FICTO FEST 2026!

[toothpastepancake]

Welcome! I know this comm has been dead. It's 3weeks4dreamwidth time, though, so I thought it would be a good time to revive! This will run from April 25 to May 15.

This is a fest for creating things for and about your relationship with your fictional others. Despite being run here this fest is not only for fictos, but for anyone in any kind of relationship with fictional characters (I just thought fictofest sounded fun.) Selfshippers, yumeshippers, OC X Canon if you want it to count, etc.

Rules: 

Post your works to the community here or a link to your works hosted somewhere else on Dreamwidth (your journal, a creation comm, etc.). 3weeks4dreamwidth is a fest intended to encourage participation on Dreamwidth, so please don't post these anywhere else until it is no longer May 15 in any timezone. Thanks!

You may post anything. I will have a list of prompts below, but you do not need to follow them. If you make something related to your fictional other or relationship, at all.. feel free as long as it follows the rules. Fic should be at least 100 words, but question prompt fills can be any length. Any other mediums, use your best judgement for an equivalent of 100 words of fic. Basically, just create! Have fun! 

Please tag your fills "3wfictofest".
