All Things Sad Become Untrue

It's Nov 1st, which means it's time to welcome you all to our Thirty-Eighth Small Fandoms Fest! It also means that it’s time to submit those prompts!

Google Docs Spreadsheet:

The spreadsheet has been edited to remove filled prompts and prompts for fandoms that no longer qualify, but all other prompts will remain in the spreadsheet so you need not resubmit them.

Disqualified Fandoms: Please check the List of Disqualified Fandoms before submitting your prompts to make sure your fandom hasn’t previously been disqualified. as [several] a lot of fandoms have been disqualified for this round and removed from the spreadsheet, including: Final Fantasy XII (game), Prison Break (tv), Revolutionary Girl Utena | Shoujo Kakumei Utena (anime), and Thunderbolts (movie 2025). (More may be disqualified during the prompting period as they are brought to my attention, so please check back if you think your fandom might be too large, aka, 2,000 or more fanworks at AO3.)

Prompt submission: Input the required information into the form linked below (Your User Name (and platform), Fandom, Pairing/Character, and Prompt) and then hit submit! After your prompt has been submitted, you’ll receive a notification that your “response has been recorded” and will be asked if you’d like to return to the form. (Please submit the prompts in the same format as existing prompts wrt Fandom Name and Character/Pairing.) At any time you may check out the prompts that have already been submitted to the spreadsheet.

Filtering/Sorting: Google not-so-recently forced our spreadsheet into the new filtering process. If you’re not already familiar with it, please read the following so you can sort and filter the prompts. ( more about filtering and sorting back here )


Please read the rules below (especially those regarding the format of the prompts) before submitting your prompts.

Most importantly, have fun!
