Sledgefu Week 2024
Thanks to you guys we’ll be doing our seventh Sledgefu Week from August 30 to September 5 and for that we need prompts!
Each day of Sledgefu Week will feature a prompt you can create something for (fanfics, moodboards, fanvids, poems, edits, art, playlists, anything is possible) and those prompts will be suggested and voted for by you :D
In this first round it’s all about suggesting prompts which typically work best when they are broad, so think of some single words or short phrases that could be interpreted in many ways, but please keep them SFW (your creations later on can be explicit!).
In the form itself you’ll find a list of past prompts so you don’t risk submitting doubles since we like to do new prompts each year. Those past prompts will also give you an idea for what you can submit if you are unsure. If in doubt, submit the idea anyway, it might work out after all :)
You can also always ask us here on tumblr, if you have any questions, or you can join our Discord server and chat with us there :)
You have until August 1 09:00 AM CEST to submit your prompts.
After that we will sort through the submissions, remove doubles, group prompts that are very similar and then we’ll post another form where you can vote which of the submitted prompts you wanna see during the week :D The form is anonymous btw!
Click here for the form. We can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!

City That Care Forgot - Chapter 8: Just A Little Overcome
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans, and miss it each night and day? I know I’m not wrong, the feeling’s gettin’ stronger the longer I stay away.
Following the catastrophic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, tens of thousands of displaced New Orleans residents are dispersed throughout the United States. One of which is Merriell Shelton, Eugene's newest classmate in French III, who he finds himself increasingly drawn to.
aka the intensely researched hurricane katrina au that nobody asked for lol
+ chapter 8 has been posted :D

Different War AU - To fight a hurricane
@sledgefuweek - E - 16087 w
Hillbilly didn't look amused, "Having sex in the Jaeger pit is not allowed. One strike and I'll personally stuff your mouth with a blue ticket."
Snafu raised his hand, "So making out is okay?"

Burgie's POV: You left your mortar squad unsupervised for one (1) night, and Sledge and Snafu had a verbal altercation, which then tipped Peck over the edge into a mental breakdown and got Hamm killed

Sledgefu Week 2024 - prompt explanations
Hello, everyone! We sincerely apologize for publishing this so late into the preparations and hope that despite this delay, your work is going smoothly. Without further ado, here's a small deep-dive into this year's prompts!
REUNION
This is pretty self-explanatory. How would a reunion between our boys go? Would one of them be angry with the other? Would they jump into each other's arms? This prompt doesn't have to be used in a canon-compliant/post-canon fic, of course. Maybe it's a Modern AU - one of them leaves for college and they reunite in Summer? Or, if you decide to write an angstier fic, they reunite in the afterlife? The choice is yours and the possibilities are endless.
OUTSIDER POV
A very interesting prompt that lends itself to some character analysis as well! Think how the relationship between Sledge and Snafu looks to other people. Take into account the personality of the person or people whose point of view you're writing from, and the environment in which the characters find themselves. This prompt is quite versatile and has a lot of potential for a fluffy fic.
LIES AND PROMISES
This one will lend itself well to angsty fics. Perhaps one of them failed or refused to fulfill an important promise made during wartime? Maybe someone is hiding a secret that, if revealed, would significantly change their relationship? This prompt may also involve miscommunication and lots of emotional confrontations between Eugene and Merriell. Still, it's not impossible for them to have a happy ending, even with such an ominous prompt.
INVISIBLE STRING THEORY
To put it in very simple terms, this theory posits that one’s soulmate is always present in one's life, even if they haven't met each other yet - they are tethered to each other by an invisible, unbreakable string. How would this impact Sledge and Snafu? Would they be annoyed, or would they find themselves unable to fight back against this cosmic connection? Either way, the Universe seems to put them in each other's way no matter what. This can work with very sweet, romantic fics as well as comedic ones - just imagine the shenanigans!
DIFFERENT WAR AU
This prompt is actually combined from several prompts that were similar to each other: Masters of the Air AU, European Theater AU, Iraq War AU, and World War I AU. You may choose from any of those individual suggestions, or pick something completely different, including a fictional war. In fact, neither Sledge nor Snafu (or any other characters, for that matter) need to be combatants for this AU to work. Think about how different it would be if one or both of them were medics or civilians. This is a rather difficult topic, so don't be afraid to do research or ask for help!
BIRDWATCHING
We all know that Eugene Sledge was an avid birdwatcher. The question is, how does that figure into your work? Maybe he ropes Snafu into it and they turn it into a date? Maybe they search for tropical birds during their time on Pavuvu? This prompt is well-suited for fluffy works and all sorts of scenarios (as long as birdwatching, or attempts at it, are involved in them somehow).
FREE CHOICE
A fan favorite! Do whatever you like, including reusing prompts from previous Sledgefu Weeks. The world is truly your oyster with this one!
Once again, thank you all for the suggestions! Our Discord server is always open to new members and we'll gladly answer any other questions you may have about the prompts. We wish everyone luck with their work!

hbo war couples as the neighourhood songs
webgott - reflections
where have you been? do you know when you’re comin’ back? since you’ve been gone i’ve got a long, but i’ve been sad. i tried to put it out for you to get. could’ve, should’ve, but you never did. wish you wanted it a little bit more, but it’s a chore for you to give.
baberoe - pretty boy
even if my heart stops beating, you’re the only thing i need with me. even if the earth starts shaking, you’re the only thing worth taking with me.
winnix - compass
you listen to my lectures on the phone. you help me find the treasure in the hole. you’ll tell me if i’m acting like a fool. i know you’re not something to lose, now.
luztoye - alleyways
if things were different, we were young, skinny dipping, having fun, i remember. all i wanted would become everything i ever loved, i remember.
spierton - tobacco sunburst
looked in those brown eyes, i thought i found myself. damn, it’s been awhile looking in your blue eyes, never knew i’d lose myself, in the tobacco sunburst sky.
sledgefu - void
i’ll fight just to do somethin’, i’ll fight cause i got nothin’. even if i lose again, i can’t quit. i wonder how i got by this week, i only touched you once.
