He's a trickster and a troublemaker and a rat bastard. He's determined and clever and resilient. And did we mention he's hot? FUCK EREBUS FEST is a celebration of the best worst guy in the grimdark future. It's pretty simple: from now until the end of September, make fic and art featuring Erebus at his best, shipped with anyone, everyone, or no-one (actual fucking is encouraged but if you're not a smut artist/writer we still want your best Erebus). Tag tumblr posts with "fuck erebus fest" and add them to the AO3 collection if you'd like. At the beginning of October I'll post a master list of all the works people have posted.
Need some inspiration? Have lots of ideas but no chance to do anything with them? We have an AO3 Prompt Collection where you can drop off prompts for things you'd like to see, and browse other people's prompts to get ideas. These prompts are optional! Feel free to go wherever your inspiration takes you, whether prompted or not.
Because the temptation was irresistible. The sentiment "fuck Erebus" is common around fandom, and most of the time people don't mean it this way, but the energy where "fuck Erebus" becomes "fuck Erebus" is spicy and delightful. Besides which, when people are going "man, fuck Erebus" you know he's thriving.
Can I do crossover ships/original characters/Erebus x reader?
Yes, you can. Any and all partners are fine.
Can I write/draw [niche kink]/[problematic content]?
Yes, absolutely! We want to celebrate this character and that can take a wide variety of forms. The only thing we don't want to see is Erebus bashing.
How do I add prompts to the prompt collection?
Head over to the prompt collection page and hit the Prompt Form link on the left. Add your prompts to the form and save.
How do I add a fic to the AO3 collection?
When you're ready to post your work, go to the collection profile and hit the "post to collection" button, then fill in the posting form as usual.
If you want to add a fic you already posted, hit the Edit button on that fic, scroll down to the "Associations" section, and add FuckErebusFest to the "Post to Collections / Challenges" field, then save.
But Erebus is horrible! I hate him.
You're in good company! But this is probably not the fest for you. We recommend making something about one of your faves instead.
But Erebus is horrible! You shouldn't like him either.
Thank goodness none of us are actually the Inquisition. We recommend blocking the "fuck erebus fest" tag.
Still here? Then we'd love to see what you make.
