Multifandom microfic prompts posted whenever Ao3 is down (and I notice in time).

More information under the cut.

How to Participate

Aim for a word count between 50 and 500 words.

Must be a complete, self-contained fanfic. (Not part of a series.)

Use the word prompt in your title, content, or simply as inspiration.

As a multifandom challenge, fandom and ships are up to you.

Post here on Tumblr (and wherever else) for the benefit of your fandom friends in this trying time.

Please mark your post appropriately with fandom, ship (if applicable), word count, prompt, and any content warnings.

Do art if you'd like. That's cool, too.

Tag @ao3isdownmicrofic for a reblog and to spark the movement.

Add to Ao3 and our Ao3 Collection when Ao3 is up again, if you want. Find it here: ao3isdownmicrofic.

If your question isn't answered here, you can ask!
