I am officially 1/30 done. Hooray! Just 29 to go!

GO YOU!!! Can't wait to see it!! :D

[juneofdoom]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've never done a challenge with the three additional prompts each day, are we supposed to use each of those as well or just pick and choose?

No dumb questions!

They are just options! I like to give people options!

Some people like to pick one of the prompts — and then there are people like me who have (in the past) tried to build something around all four in one story. Some people like to try and incorporate the quote into their work and ignore the other three prompts. It's just my way of giving you guys lots of flexibility. Sort of like choosing your difficulty level on a video game. It's a challenge, but you get to choose how challenging! I've also seen people compile multiple prompts from multiple days into one work, and that's cool, too! So for any given day, you can use one, two, three, or all of the prompts! Whatever works for you and the piece you're making!

Have fun with it!

Hi! This is my first year completing this challenge so I was just wondering, how long does the ao3 collection stay open for? Is it just until the end of June? Thank you!

The AO3 collection from LAST year is still open - and still being added to! So it'll remain open probably til next year unless someone abuses that in some way. So far, I'm very lucky to have nothing but cool, respectful participants in this challenge, so I'm glad to leave it open. Because again, this whole thing is operated on "I wish I had more time to participate in fandom but life happens," so if I can be accomodating to that, I will be!

Can't wait to see what you make! :D

54 days??? How has time gone by so fast?!

I really need to stop procrastinating 😂

Here’s to hoping I can actually finish (I only have 5 completely finished, and 13 more started)

You're going to be fine! No rush! And if you post after the month of June, it'll be reblogged here so long as you tag! You can do it! Consistency is key! Trust me, even when you don't feel likle writing, telling yourself you'll write just 100 words (or even 50! or 2 sentences!) can lead to WAY more words! I have really bad Executive Dysfunction, so I get the impossibleness of starting and finishing things more than anyone. But you can do it! Just tell yourself to shut up and write, even if it's just a text to yourself lol

16/30 is really good! I am at 0/30 (though I have started writing 6 of them)

I have the extremely fortunate convenience of an intense hyper fixation demanding I purge fic from my brain before it explodes right now, and it hasn't been that way in a while for me, so I'm taking advantage! And whatever you make is going to be just as awesome! I can usually only manage drabbles for challenges like these if I commit to doing all the prompts, so the fact that I'm churning out actual one-shots is crazy right now. That is also the joy of the list being out so early - we can spend time with these prompts and realize their potential! Just remember: it's not a contest. Even if you make stuff and don't share it, you've practiced your craft, and I'm honored that this challenge inspired you to do so! Keep plugging, people! 54 days til DOOM!

[juneofdoom]

Woah, only 2 months away! It feels like June of Doom is approaching so quickly!

It really is!! I am 16/30 on prompts so far myself, but they keep getting bigger than I mean them to, so I'm behind lol

Can't wait to see you all there!! :D

[juneofdoom]

2 months til DOOM 💣

[juneofdoom]

Super appreciate the prompts being out so early <3

Of course!! I made the 2024 and 2025 lists at the same time last year, and I know how much people in my circle appreciate as much time to prepare as possible, so it was nice to drop them early! It was also a good way to shuffle the prompts and ensure we tried new ones! Looking forward to what you create! :D

3 months til DOOM 💣

(and happy birthday to me!) 🎈

[juneofdoom]

Hey, I'm so sorry if this has been asked before, but is it okay if our first aren't super angsty? I keep going to write just whump, but the comfort sneaks out of nowhere and makes it more lighthearted than I intended ^^;

Seems like you and I have the same “problem” lol. I can write angst all day, but any attempt at “real” whump becomes either comedic in nature or allows for a tender heartfelt moment that steals the show. Sometimes I don't feel hardcore enough to host this challenge. 🙃

I've actually been meaning to add this to the main blog post: angst and hurt/comfort are whump’s siblings and are so welcome here! Heck if someone wanted to take this prompt list and try to make it as fluffy as possible, I’d be hella impressed lol.

So no worries! Whatever your take, it will be great, and it will be shared! So amp up the comfort! Make ‘em step on a rake! Whump is just physical pain, so taking care of/ comforting someone with that pain, no matter how trivial it may be, technically counts! Band-Aid on paper cut = whump!

[juneofdoom]

I somehow looked at the prompt list from last year and already started them. Is it fine to use those prompts for this year since I already have them planned out and don't wanna start from scratch. 😂

I mean. I CAN try to do both. 👀

That's totally fine! You can do these however you want, in whatever order you want! You guys have free reign with these prompts. They are meant to inspire, and inspiration hits at any time from anywhere, so go for it!

[juneofdoom]

This prompt challenge will always be my favourite. It's so fun and casual, and I always enjoy what I make for it. Thanks for creating the event ❤️

You are so welcome, and thank you! It still blows my mind that a list I made for a handful of friends a couple of years ago picked up this kind of traction, and I'm happy to cheer you all on as you create! Thank you for participating and for such kind words! ❤️

[juneofdoom]

Four months til DOOM 💣

[juneofdoom]

You don't have to be a whump event completionist! You can participate as much or as little as you want! If it's just one prompt or a month's worth, your participation is valid! It's for fuuuun! Don't burn yourself out trying to fulfill some productivity quota no one has set for you but you!

Hello! Is there a text version of the 2025 list? I know there was for 2023/2024, but if there is one for 2025 I am having trouble finding it.

I do still have to type one up, and I shall endeavor to do that very soon! I’ll attach a link to the main 2025 list when I do! The 2025 list was posted rather spur-of-the-moment, so I didn’t have the text list ready at that time, but I’ll set some time aside this weekend to get to it! :)
