A blog to collect, store and promote tumblr events organised for the Band of Brothers fandom. Come join us on Discord, it'll be a lovely time, I promise
This means that from now and three weeks forward, people can post their fics, arts, gifs or other types of fills for the world to enjoy!
The collection is closed for new prompts, but you can still claim and fill any prompt that speaks to you until March 7th. So if you’re a creator, there is still time to join in the fun!
A quick update on how filling works, and how to make sure it gets promoted; You can fill a post with a fic, a piece of art, a gifset, edit or any other kind of media. Either do it on the AO3 collection by going to the claimed prompt and clicking “Fulfill” and post it there (AO3 allows non-fic posts, but it’s wise to tag it as #fanart or #gif if you’re not doing a fic)
OR
Post it to tumblr or the public website of your choice! If you do this, make sure to notify us running this blog; You can send us a message here, or message the mods on our Discord, and we will reblog and share your post (or a link to your post if you don’t use Tumblr yourself). We have one mod in America and one in Europe, so we will try to cover most of the hours of the day, but depending on when you message us it might take a couple of hours so you know. <3
You can also use the #Love Fest 2022 hashtag, but this can be slightly unreliable due to the way Tumblr sometimes works, so a message with a post link is a wise choice.
More info on how to claim and post your fills can be found here!
Prompting for Band of Boyfriends LoveFest 2022 is almost over! You can still go in and prompt on the collection until February 14th, after which point the collection will close for prompts and open for posting. Posting will then be open until March 7th.
We currently have 40 prompts, of all shapes, ships and sizes, so go in and check if anything speaks to you. Only 13 are claimed, and more than one person can claim any prompt, so go forth and be inspired! We allow any kind of content, not only fics. More info on how posting works and how to inform us of your content so we can reblog/support it, you can find here!
The 2022 BoB Love Fest AO3 Prompt Collection
Join Us On Discord <3 (16+)
We want to start off by reminding you that in order to prompt, you only need an AO3 account! Simply go to the collection, press the button that says “sign up” and submit your prompts <3
You can find more information about this event and (if you’re not familiar with how prompts on AO3 work) how to participate here, but the essentials are these:
This is a prompt fest, meaning users submit and claim prompts as they like; every user can submit up to ten prompts, and claim and fill whatever number they please.
You are free to prompt and claim things even if someone else already has; repetition is not an issue. Maybe you can find a new fandom friend that likes the same things as you?
Any kind of media is allowed, meaning fic writers, fan artists, gif makers and any other kind of content creator is welcomed with open and enthusiastic arms.
And the timeline is as follows:
January 24th: The AO3 collection is open for prompts! Every person can submit up to 10 prompts, and they are all live to be seen and claimed.
February 14th: The AO3 collection closes for prompts and opens for posting; from now on, any fills of prompts can go live on any platform.
March 7th: The event is over and the AO3 collection closes.
If you have any questions, send us a message here or join our Band of Brothers Discord server! (Note: Our server is 16+!)
Hi! I was hoping to join the Discord server, but I’ve never really been on one before, and I don’t really make any content. Would it still be okay if I joined?
Hi Anon!
Heck yes! Come on over! Those who consume content are just as important as those who make it over in our little corner of the internet. Hope to see you soon!

In celebration of Valentine’s day, we are putting together our SECOND ANNUAL Love Fest prompt event on AO3! Our goal is to create a lovely collection of fics, gifs, art and other splendid Band of Brothers-themed content for Valentine’s day, fuelled by your prompts.
Y’all, it’s year two! We really can’t believe that we get to do this all again with you. And in our excitement, we have decided to not only add a new prompt page and collection, but also open up last year’s prompts for filling. Both collections’ prompts can be claimed and filled, and they will all be listed in the Annual Band of Boyfriends Love Fest collection (navigate to "subcollections" to see every year's collections!)
We will be sharing all prompts and their fills, be they fic, art, gifs or any other medium, both here as well as on our public Band of Brothers Discord server, to make sure that prompters and creators receive as much attention as they can and deserve (which is a lot).
The only thing you need to participate is an AO3 account, and all kinds of fandom participation is accepted; Fanfic, fan art, gifs, edits and any other types of creation are accepted by us, of any length and size! We welcome prompts that include gen, canon character ships, oc ships (barring that the prompt does not necessitate an artist to know anything outside of canon information), and xreader content.
Check the bottom of this post, under the ‘keep reading’ for information on how to submit prompts and fills. <3 Regardless of what your medium is, promote your work and any favourite prompt you have with the #Bob Love Fest tag, and we will reblog and share it!
The dates on the event are as follows:
January 24th: The AO3 collection is open for prompts! Every person can submit up to 10 prompts, and they are all live to be seen and claimed.
February 14th: The AO3 collection closes for prompts and opens for posting; from now on, any fills of prompts can go live on any platform.
March 7th: The event is over and the AO3 collection closes.
This will give creators a few weeks to find, claim and fill the prompts that they feel spark their lovey hearts, and all of us some time to read and enjoy them! <3
We hope that this will be a fun and inspirational love fest for all of us, and that we as a community will create a lot of lovely things together!
Until Monday, when the event starts, feel free to spread this post and word of the event and we can all hype together. Happy prompting!
/Mods Laura & Maria
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
1. Prompting
The only thing you need to submit prompts is an AO3 account. Simply go onto our Love Fest Collection over on AO3 and submit your prompts. Every person can submit up to ten prompts, and they can be of any nature, ship and au that you want. Submit your prompt, and it will show up in the collection open for claiming!
If you're having some trouble figuring out how AO3's prompt page works, head over to this post and we'll walk you through it <3
(The collection is currently up, but prompting (called sign-ups on ao3) will not open until January 24th, 01:00 GMT.)
2. Claiming prompts
In order to claim a prompt, you navigate to the ‘Prompts’ section of the AO3 collection, find the prompt you want and press ‘claim’. The prompt has now been claimed! If you accidentally claim a prompt, or don’t think you are able to fulfill it before the timeframe is up, simply press the button to ‘Drop Claim’ and it will be unlisted from your account.
Multiple people are able to claim and fill multiple prompts, and while we do ask you to attempt to first prioritize prompts which no other person has claimed so far, there is no rule that says you must, so go for which ever prompt sparks your interest. <3
As this year we’re opening up the unfilled prompts from 2021, we also highly recommend you check out the 2021 Love Fest collection for any un-filled (or previously filled!) prompts from last year. The claiming and filling process should be the same for that one. As with any prompts, there is absolutely no demand for these prompts to be filled first - we’re just sending everyone this way in the hopes that you may find something that tickles your creative bone! :)
3. Filling prompts
If you are a fic writer, you fill your prompt by pressing the button in the prompt list that says ‘Fulfill’. This will then take you to AO3’s regular posting page, with the prompt included, and you post your work as per usual.
If you are an artist/gif-maker (or some other kind of non-written creator), you can also share your prompt fill on Tumblr.
To do that, simply make your post as per usual, and send a message to the Bob-Events Tumblr with a link to your post and we will reblog it and share it on the platform, as well as over on our BoB discord. After doing this, you can un-claim the prompt on AO3 if you want, or upload your fill there as a pic- or gif fic. The upside to uploading your thing to AO3 anyway is that it’ll give your prompter a little notification in their inbox that their prompt has been filled, which can be neat!
The collection for the 2021 Heavy Artillery Holiday Fic Exchange is now live and available for your reading pleasure! You can check it out here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/HeavyArtilleryHolidayExchange2021
We were also fortunate enough to have several folks write treats for our participants this year, which are included within that collection, though the authors were not kept anonymous. Stories written as part of the main exchange will remain anonymous until Sunday, December 26th, when authors will be revealed.
Happy Holidays to everyone in the greater HBO War fandom! May they be filled with lots of love, laughter, and really, really good food.
I look forward to running more events for you in the coming year, and hope to see a whole slew of new and returning faces for the Holiday Fic Exchange in 2022! In the meantime, please feel free to reblog this post and share this collection far and wide so our extremely talented holiday authors receive the credit they’re due for their beautiful works this holiday season.
Love,
Mod Tec

Band of Brothers first aired 20 years ago, to celebrate this anniversary @hbowardaily is hosting a 10 day event. The event will run from September 1st to 10th!
Each day has three or four different prompts to chose from for gifs, edits, moodboards, art, fics and any other media types! Each day is dedicated to one of the episodes and the prompts are connecting to them accordingly, but your creation doesn’t have to be from the given episode, the prompts can be adapted for any other episodes!
Feel free to do as many days as you’d like! Don’t forget to tag #bob20anniversary so we can share your creations! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to reach out to @hbowardaily! You can find the prompts below the cut!
All the fics, works of art and media are now live!
Happy international friendship day! 25 gorgeous works, all centred around friendship, are now available for all of us to enjoy!
The works have been created as a gift exchange, meaning they’re all based on someone’s individual prompts, but are of course also intended for every fan of BoB to enjoy.

Happy Summer of Friendship, everyone! Currahee, good morning/day/evening/night wherever you are, remember to support your local creators and we wish you all the best of summers.
