Also a couple of reminders that people were asking about: 

You don’t need to fill any particular prompt to write for this fest, you just need to submit one to sign up! 

Cross team pairings are allowed as long as one player is a Bruin! 

Past seasons are A-OK!

Have fun with it, and we can’t wait to see what you guys are writing 🖤💛🖤

For anyone looking for resources on Bruins players, setting, background info – an updated (2021) Bruins fic primer! It’s not 100% complete yet, but it does have most of the prompted characters in it, along with some inspirational gallery photos for each player. We hope it’s helpful!!

Hi, I just went to try to sign up and it says sign ups are still closed 😔 do we sign up by submitting prompts?

oh, gosh, tech strikes again. they should definitely be open – I'll go ahead and double check to make sure the form is working! but also yes, the way that AO3 structures prompt challenges, you do have to submit one to sign up. you can submit anonymously and you don't have to use a prompt to write a fic; they're a suggestion, not a mandate!

Bruins Fic Fest 2021

This prompt fest was created for anyone who wishes to write RPF featuring an ensemble cast or individual players who are members of the Boston Bruins, past or present!

AO3

Rules and FAQs will get their own posts as well, but this is just an overview! 

Schedule:  

Sign-Ups Open: October 14th, 2021

Sign-Ups Close: November 24th, 2021

Fics due: January 3rd, 2022

Fics revealed: January 7th, 2022

Rules: 

1. Your main friend group/ensemble cast (for genfic), or main pairing/polyship (for shipping fic) must include at least one active Bruins player at the time that the fic is set.

2. The fic should have a focus on the fact that they are Bruins; ie., not writing about one player leaving the team and being welcomed to a new one.

3. There is a 2k minimum word count. There is no maximum limit.

4. You do not have to claim a particular prompt! They are there for inspiration, not a mandate.

5. Recasting other players as Bruins is accepted, and strongly encouraged, even! However, this doesn’t count towards the minimum player count.

6. Please tag and warn appropriately.

7. A wide breadth of genres and players is always welcome – ranging from PWP to whump to angst, and beyond. However, this is a team-specific fest, use your judgement when it comes to the tone around representing the Bruins and their players. Avoid blanket bashing for this specific fest.
