Posted by: huxleyenne

Happy Friday, y'all! Today's theme is Television Programming. Think about all the silly things you've ever seen on television over the years, at any point in your life. What is it about these shows that keep us watching? What is it about the commercials that compel us to make purchases? Is the news in your country a bombastic three-ring propaganda circus? Is there a TV show you'd like to see more fic of? Today's your day.

Rules for prompting are as follows:

- Five prompts each per fandom per day. Author's choice prompts are unlimited.
- Prompts should be based on the daily theme.
- One prompt per comment.
- Warn for spoilers in the subject line of your comment and leave three lines of spoiler space.

Rules for filling a prompt are as follows:

- You may fill your own prompts.
- You may fill prompts that already have fills.
- No minimum/maximum word count.

Full rules here

If nothing today appeals to you, remember you can fill lonely prompts at any time.

Feel free to link to your filled prompts in the Monthly Fills Post; especially when filling lonely prompts, others might miss it.

If you have an AO3 account, you can add your fills here.

Have fun, and don't forget to be nice. No bashing of characters, pairings, fandoms, kinks, etc. Thank you!

Wednesday, May 6 - Drabbles (100 words exactly)

Wed, 06 May 2026 14:44:03 GMT

Posted by: huxleyenne

Greetings!

It's Wednesday. How about a big post for bite-sized treats today? Sometimes a bite-sized treat is all we can manage, but it's still tasty, right?

Today's theme is Drabbles (100 words exactly). I ask that you compose prompts and fills with the 100-word count limit in mind, but as always there's no min/max word count requirement on fills. I simply encourage you to take the challenge to compose a story in 100 words exactly.

Also, did you know that Special Challenge Week is next week? Take a moment to review the rules for prompting and leave as many prompts as you'd like on this post (within reason, of course. Think of a candy dish. Yes, you can fill it with lots of pieces, but eventually it will overflow.) Dig around that noggin of yours and find fandom-specific requests if you want. I suggest everyone leave a few prompts you think you can fill next week. Whatever gets these creative juices flowing, let's do it!

Rules for prompting are as follows:

- Five prompts each per fandom per day. Author's choice prompts are unlimited.
- Prompts should be based on the daily theme.
- One prompt per comment.
- Warn for spoilers in the subject line of your comment and leave three lines of spoiler space.

Rules for filling a prompt are as follows:

- You may fill your own prompts.
- You may fill prompts that already have fills.
- No minimum/maximum word count
