A Comment Drive For Promptober Fills

[commvember]

Welcome to Commvember!

October sure is a busy month for writers and readers alike, isn't it? With so many prompt events happening concurrently, there's never any shortage of new and wonderful works to create and enjoy.

It also presents a problem: Due to the oversaturation of works in the same general themes, some wonderful writing can slip through the cracks. These hidden gems often get few to no comments or reblogs, especially if they aren't picked up by the event archives.

That's where Commvember comes in! During the month of November, this blog will promote both fan works and original fiction written as fills for various promptober events that are lacking in the love they deserve.

What works fit this criteria:

Any written work* that was created as a promptober event fill which has fewer than 3 comment THREADS on AO3 and/or fewer than 10 Tumblr reblogs (self reblogs do NOT count) at the time of submission fits the criteria. (*Some exclusions apply, keep reading)

How do I submit works?

Submission guidelines are here

A03 collection link and rules are here

Are there any types of works I can't submit?

No fan works of any IP owned by Joanne Rowling, Neil Gaiman, Scott Cawthon, or any RPF of currently in-office politicians (including in the context of South Park fanfiction) will be promoted on this blog or included in the AO3 collection. This is non-negotiable. If you are in such a fandom, feel free to use this blog's format to host your own comment drive in your fandom. In addition, no works known to be AI-generated in full or in part will be promoted or collected. Other than that, anything goes! Any trope, ship, kink, etc is allowed as long as it's properly tagged. Yes, even that one. Those, too. If it's not AI or one of the banned fandoms, it's allowed.

So does that mean there will be 18+ works promoted here? I'm a minor...

Yes, all manner of explicit works are permitted. However, minors are also welcome to participate and submit their work. This means that it is very important for anyone submitting 18+/nsfw/explicit works to tag properly. Minors, please tread carefully and DNI with 18+ works.

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

The collection is open and unmoderated, so we're trusting you to abide by the rules

Only fics that were created for a prompt-a-day event during October 2025 may be added

Only fics with fewer than three (3) comment threads at the time of submission may be added (they do NOT have to be removed when they pass that threshold)

You may add your fic even if it's still an active WIP, as long as it was started for a promptober event

in the case of kinktober, is it ok if my entry doesn't follow any tagging guidelines since there isn't one official kinktober? (i kinda just freestyled and decided "hey no better time to post this)

the fic on ao3 is much better tagged so i would rather wait to add it to the collection if that's seperate from the tumblr submission

thank you for running this!

As long as it's tagged with the fandom, characters, and any other relevant warnings, you should be good 👍

Some timezones have already entered the first day of November, which just makes me, Mod Virgo, fashionably late.

Submissions are now open for works you wish to have promoted on the blog.

Submission Guidelines

Send an ask or DM to this blog with a link to the original Tumblr post.

Your post must follow the tagging guidelines for the event it was created for

Posts will be rebloged carrying over your tags with the added tag of "commvember reblog"

You can add your fic to the open and unmoderated A03 collection here
