Kicking off @bakubangspeedrun Summer Edition with an update to the Fuckboy!Bakura Ryou fanfic!!

We’re wrapping up Arc 1 with this one—and I’m hoping to update in another 24-48 hours or so with another stockpiled chapter and hopefully write more chapters this week too uwu

For those new to this fic… what if the yugi gang woke up one day and found Bakura-but-not-Bakura flirting with his Fanclub at school?

Two Things!!

1) We’re getting closer!! Less than 15 minutes until it’s a Bakubang Summer!!

2) Honestly, I made this subcollection on a whim because I knew I’d at least use it, so if you’d like to use it too, go for it!! Or you can use the one from last time tbh!!

All subcollections will show up with their works side by side in the parent collection here anyway:

Hello there! So, if one were to ask me what I'm doing next week and I said "bakubanging", you think that might earn me odd looks? jk XD About AO3 collections: I personally would even vouch for the exact opposite - instead of adding a 3rd collection keep everything in one! The one for late entries was only used by me and the one from the actual first week isn't that large to not have more works added. I think it would be neat to have them all in one place for this prompt list, that way it also feels more like a collection with a wider variety of vibes and flavours for everyone ^^

“Bakubanging” might get you odd looks but you’ll get all the love here! Haha XD

And ah, good to note—I guess I had a different picture of what was going on! Since, ah, I was possibly under the impression of a few things, namely there being more awareness of the parent collection (which I don’t think I ever truly mentioned on the blog here, oops!) and/or people being curious enough to seek out the parent collection and see that both current bakubang collections could thus be seen in one place together in that collection!

I’ll link the parent collection below and maybe somewhere more official in a minute, so we at least can include the late entry/legacy edition collection as well for viewing with whatever ends up happening. (Speaking of, I gotta check and see what works if any need to be admitted to the collections by my approving of them. Lots to catch up on!!)

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Meanwhile, I’ll keep pondering for now. I’m used to seeing other events keep their yearly and/or other regularly scheduled events that fall under one umbrella series of events as subcollections of the same parent collection. Maybe I could make a Summer Edition subcollection as a subcollection of the 2026 collection (the one that’s been the most used thus far…) so the two linked events’ works would be easily viewable in the same place anyway?

Any input any of y’all have about that?

@bakubangspeedrun Thanks for clearing that up! I really wasn't aware that there was a way to see all fics in one place. I don't know about other events, but I'm a simple person and like to have my stuff in one place haha

That being said, I might be a bit of a special case anyways. I finished my first version of 'Ascension' two days after the creation period, but never postet it. Then I immediately began reworking it and posted chapters for the legacy collection but my final chapter (which turns out to be a beast) will be posted in like three-ish days during this Bakubang, so um… My baby kinda transcends all dimensions of this event LOL

bakubangspeedrun

No problem! Thanks for bringing it up so I could clear it up. I guess I’m an organizational sort of person and like to put things in specific places (since I do tag posts so religiously and all), but people are all different, so I totally get where you’re coming from ^^

And hey, I’m a special case with you with my Oh, God, He’s Flirting with His Fanclub in the Courtyard fanfic, which I started the last day of the first Bakubang and kept updating after and plan to update (but probably not finish) this round! Mine’s also become a beast of a thing, but I find that a fun result of the entire Bakubang concept itself. More Bakura Ryou fanworks is never a problem!! You’re absolutely find transcending the dimensions of this event like that ❤️❤️🌈

Bakubang 2026 Speedrun Event: Summer Edition! (AKA Part 2!!)

Hey all! Just wanted to make a fancier post to talk about the Summer Edition/Part 2 Bakubang Event since I’ve been talking about it for a bit on the blog and we’re now less than a week away from the projected July 26, 2026 start date:

We’re having a casual Bakura Ryou themed summer event using the same lists from the first Bakubang Speedrun round!!

For those new to this, we’re basically taking two lists of prompts (one sfw and one not) that were already collected before and working on making any sort of multimedia pieces with them (art, writing, videos, photography, cosplay; hell, the sky is the limit!!). You can pregame this event, so feel free to start things for it now or you can, if desired, wait for the week of the event and make something then!

I know some of y’all are busy with other summer events (like artfight) so don’t feel pressured to join in if it would stress you out due to that, though you’re totally welcome to join in anyway if you want! This event is simply meant to be a fun second chance to work with prompts people may have missed out on working on during the first Bakubang Speedrun round back around the end of May!

The Summer Edition will run from July 26, 2026 12:00AM PDT to August 1, 2026 11:59 PDT!

Please see our pinned post for additional information (FAQ, Prompt Lists, Countdown Timers, Other Links) about the current Bakubang Summer Edition!

Can’t wait to see what you all make!!

I need you to know that I've been casually compiling some of the prompts from the prompt list, making sure I'm not picking any duplicates from the first time around. I'm going for absolute madness, after all. 🫡

Absolute madness, chaos, etcetera etcetera!! I’m so glad to hear this lol, can’t wait to see what prompts you’ve chosen to work with!!!
