Hey there, Autobots, Decepticons and gentlebeings of all persuasions! Moderator @eerian-sadow here to give a few more details for Jazz Week, where we celebrate the smoothest, coolest cat ever produced by Hasbro.Jazz Week, or Autobot Jazz Week to keep confusion among the music festival crowd to a minimum, is a themed prompt week that runs annually during the month of July. The 2026 event (our 7th year, wow!) runs from July 19th through the 25thThis year’s timing might overlap with at least one other fandom challenge, but I haven't heard of any others this week. But, if I'm wrong, you can absolutely overlap your challenges. I don’t expect anyone to turn out two or three or more pieces per day, so please double or triple dip for THIS challenge. After all, it’s fine to wear the same dress to more than one party. ;) AND this is an “All Fanworks Welcome” challenge! Whether you paint, draw, write, knit or make floral arrangements, any fanwork that celebrates Jazz is happily welcomed here. The most important thing is that you are having fun! (We're also all ratings, so tag/warn accordingly, please!)Like most theme weeks, we have some prompts! This year, they are:July 19: Space//Light ShowJuly 20: Planning//Past & FutureJuly 21: Trio//PeekabooJuly 22: Swing time//CareJuly 23: Telephone Game//BalladJuly 24: Avalanche//HeistJuly 25: Oath//On patrolWild Card Prompts:-You can certainly try-Comfort-Distrust-Integration-Firestorm The prompts are presented in pairs, and you are welcome to take inspiration from one or the other or both or neither! (Again, the fun is the point.) We also added Wild Cards for the 2026 event, which are prompts that you can switch in if you aren't inspired by the ones in the main list.When posting your works, please remember to use the official Jazz Week tags (written so they don't overlap with the music festival scene, again) #AutobotJazzWeek and #AutobotJazzWeek2026 (Tumblr & Bluesky) On Dreamwidth, the tag is Jazz Week 2026.For everyone on AO3 there is a collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/JazzWeek2026(JazzWeek2026) And if you only manage one fill for the week? Don't sweat it. One fill is a success and you've added to the net joy of the universe!Have a great time, everyone! Don’t forget to share this (and the prompt posts all week) wherever you’ve seen it, and have a great fest!
