Hey y’all! It’s that time of year again!
In honor of April Fool’s Day, we’re hosting another crack-tacular writing challenge! The fifth annual one! This year, @thestanceyg is joining me ( @dresupi ) as a mod, and we had SO MUCH fun coming up with the prompts this year!
This event is open to everyone; every fic rating is welcome. Do you want some crack-tastic smut? SMUT IT UP, BABY. If smut’s not something that speaks to you, that’s FINE. We still want to read everything your gorgeous brain can create! Do you want more gen crack with no ships? WRITE THAT THING! Treat yo self and everyone else while you’re at it. You’re an amazing author and we NEED THAT FIC! As long as it features our favorite doctor of astrophysics, Darcy Lewis, we wanna read it, and it’s on-point, sweetheart!
While this is really more geared towards fic writers, you can create any kind of fanwork you want. (Graphics, fic, art)
Your work must feature Darcy Lewis. (Natch, I mean…this is a Darcyland event)
Crossovers are fine, as long as… you know… Darcy is involved. ;)
You may not use this list for anything non-Darcy related. We came up with this list specifically with Darcy in mind, please respect that!
If you want, you can add fics to the collection we made on ao3
Rate and tag your fics appropriately, any rating is fine, but please be aware when you rate and tag!
No word limit for fics or drabbles
Posting begins on April 5, 2021, and will go on until April 11, 2021 (although you can post to the collection until April 30).
Tag us in your fics to make sure we see them so we can reblog them to this page! We’re @darcylandcrackchallenge, FYI. You can also tag our tumblrs as well, @dresupi or @thestanceyg
But, it IS a crack challenge. So keep it silly, y’all! The point is to be lighthearted and as CRACKY as possible. (From Fanlore: “…crack can describe fanworks with a fundamentally ludicrous premise, or otherwise including a plethora of unbelievable, incredible, or just plain silly elements…”)
HAVE FUN! I mean, it’s supposed to be fun, bb. <3
Stancey and I have created a list of prompts that we thought would live up to the lists from the past years. In fact, there are three legacy prompts from previous years included on this list! With it being the fifth annual crack challenge, we figured it was necessary, right? Also, these were some of the most fun prompts from previous years, so go nuts!
The detailed prompt list is under the cut:
amandla
turnnoffyourmind
snowghoul
