Obviously this is very far in advance so don't worry, I'll be posting again closer to the time. There will also be an official graphic posted about three weeks before the event, but if you want to get started on your contributions now that's totally fine.

I will also be posting an FAQ post closer to the date as well, but in the meantime if you have any questions feel free to message me here or on my main blog @tapestryoftrauma !

That's all for now, thanks for waiting everyone and have fun with these prompts !

I HAD THIS IN MY DRAFTS AND FORGOT TO POST IT, I'M SO SORRY ARC

I've decided to go for a holloweane one, If I could hold you for a minute, aka my d&d hatchetfield au.

Holloweane week was a learning experience, as it was my first fandom week event. Because of that, my writing schedules where from 10 pm to 2 am, something that I could later see reflected in the quality of the writing (nothing editing couldn't have saved tbh). Holloweane week was also a great moment of hubris, as I thought I could write all night for a week with no consequences AND with class during the day. By the end of the week, I noticed it wasn't sustainable.

All three chapters of this fic were supposed to be part of the same one shot, and be published during Holloweane week. While I was writing though, I noticed I had three different sequences in mind (and that I wasn't reaching Holloway's chappel that day), so I decided to divide them in chapters.

A fun fact of chapter 1 is that all the attacks in the fight were looked up (especially for spells) and then rolled... And my rolls really fucking sucked! Duke failed like 3 rolls with advantage, but it was too late to not commit to the bit, even if he had to look cool.

Regarding the party itself, I went for "co-protagonists of their musicals", who casually are some of my favorite Hatchetfield characteres and with their own possible plotlines. The party composition is far from the best, but I think that's one of the most d&d things ever (having two teens/young adults and someone with a life crisis that is running away from their problems). Duke really balances it all out, even if it's only for some days. I'd really like to see them interact all in canon though, especially Emma & Lex and Duke & Pete.

For Duke backstory, I really wanted Duke to be a paladin AND for Holloway to be his patron. One of the prompts for the fic was worship, and there are few things I like more than a paladin/cleric/warlock deeply in love with their patron, and as Curt said, Duke is smitten and swooing. So, I wanted Duke to go through a journey to meet (and fall in love) with his patron, even if he doesn't really know it.

In this AU Holloway would've traded her identity for her powers, making her an otherwordly being. She would've been a bard before the deal. There's something really tragic about a storyteller becoming a myth and not being able to tell their tales anymore, and that being reflected by losing bard levels for aberrant mind sorcerer ones after the deal? I think that's really cool. And she isn't fully forgotten in this reality, as Duke vaguely remembers (and believes in) one of her aspects. I think that would be enough for her.

As a last fun fact, the Hollow's lady chappel was really inspired by a scene from Madoka Magica Rebellion. The despair and love Homura has in that scene it's what I was going for. Although unlike Homura, Duke does meet his love turned deity, and he gets to walk home with her <3
