Rules and FAQs

Our prompt fest will run 24 April - 30 April.  Just a few reminders:

The event, this blog, and the Twitter account are all 18+.

Please make sure that any content you post includes tags/warnings as appropriate (including, but not limited to, any violence, gore, or sexual content).

Each day will have a character prompt and a theme prompt.  You can use either or both for a given day - or combine them, mix them around, whatever you’d like!

OCs and canon characters outside the DJD are all fine to include.  You’re also welcome to explore AUs, or to create content about a DJD member before or after their time in the DJD.  Basically, as long as your piece focuses on at least one DJD member - at any point in their existence - you’re golden.

Humanformers are totally fine (as are reimaginings of our DJD friends as aliens, mermaids, or ice cubes - hands up, anyone old enough to get the ice cube reference ;)).

Please tag your creations #djdfest and/or @djdfest, and share them here or on Twitter, and I will try and make sure I reblog/retweet them.  If you think I’ve missed your creation, feel free to give me a heads up - but please allow at least 24 hours first (time zones being what they are).

Have fun!

This one got a bit darker than expected, but it is the DJD we're talking about here.

Old art but freshly-done colouring! I’m sadly only able to participate in one day for @djdfest but I hope you enjoy our bloody boi here<3

Day 6 - Tesarus

For DJDFest 2022, Day 2: "Hunger". Left unexpectedly alive after the battle on the Necroworld, Tarn struggles to make sense of where he's at - and what he wants.

Days 1-2 :) archiveofourown org/works/38582676

Amazing, thank you!

#DJDFest Day 1, Tarn and team-building exercises. Poor, lonely Damus is over the moons to receive a personal invitation from Megatron - a proper welcome into the Decepticon ranks. Surely, this must mean Megatron returns his feelings...

... right?

DJD FEST 2022 IS COMING!

You heard it here first, folks!  (unless you heard it on our Twitter first :) )

DJD Fest 2022 will take place from 24-30 April, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!

What’s DJD Fest?

It’s a prompt-guided festival of fic, art, podfic, and other creations celebrating the Transformers universe’s favourite assholes: the Decepticon Justice Division.  Share your creations here or on Twitter, and be sure to @ us or use the hashtag #djdfest so we can share them, too!

Please note that DJD Fest is 18+ only, owing to the nature of the source material, and please tag your creations appropriately so everyone can have fun.

When will the prompts go up?

We’ve heard the feedback from last year, so we’re going to make sure you get plenty of lead time this time:  prompts will be published in mid-February, on or before Valentine’s Day.  (Tarn does want you to give him your spark, after all!)

Who picks the prompts?

You do!

Well, okay, not alone - we’re inviting all potential creators, and potential readers/listeners/art viewers, to contribute suggestions for prompts.  We’ll have two themes a day for each of the seven days:  one list will be the seven members of the DJD (yup, in this house we count Vos I and Nickel), and the other will be a set of prompts.  Those could be single words, phrases, lines from canon, or genres (pirate day!  coffeeshop AU day!) - what would you like to see?

Creators can then pick one theme per day, or combine both.  Let your imaginations run wild!

(Prompt suggestions can be replies, reblogs, or asks.)

[djdfest]

One more weekend for your prompt suggestions, folks - thanks to everyone who sent one in!
