You must specify in notes if you use prompt provided (for us to promote)
Drabbles

You may submit multiple drabbles but MUST compile them into one work with chapters rather than separate posts. This way readers can easily find and read all your drabbles for this event in one place!

These include:
Fanart

Cakes (please bake for him!)
As long as you can post it in the AO3 collection (upload as image or be able to embed it) and it celebrates his lordiness, it belongs here!
Promotion!
As soon as works are accepted WITH SUBMISSION GOOGLE FORM, moderators will take a week to read and review them before revealing them on AO3.
We will contact you if necessary.
We will post monthly promotions of new works posted into the collection.
As soon as the collection ends we’ll promote the works throughout the duration of January 2027 with a final master list.
I have another question! Can we talk about our stories (like with friends or in discord servers) or the works are anon?
Also, can I create a collection for my works? I'm planning to add more than one and they are all connected... Is this allowed?
Thank you 💖
Hello!
Sorry about the delay! Author's curse struck with a vengence.
Please talk about your works with others! They will not be anonymous and we encourage everyone to share their works and encourage others to participate in the fest.
You can add your works to a collection or a series!
Hope this was helpful! We can't wait to see what you're creating!
Can I post a fic "inspired by" for this event? (Of course I have the permission from the original author)
Can the fic be a multipov or from another pov? Of course Tom/Voldemort is central, but maybe someone else is narrating and/or something else is going on with other characters in their povs
Thank you!
Hello! Thank you for being so eager to write for our Lord!
You may post a fic inspired by another for this event, we just stress the importance of asking permission of the author (which you’ve already done!)
Other POVs are also accepted, so long as our Lord is a central part of the story!
