Our sponsor lightly encouraged us to run the numbers in case anyone is on the fence for signing up.

If you start writing June 21st it's only 217 words per day.

If you're the kind of person that doesn't feel the heat til check in, Aug 2nd as a start would be 400 words per day.

If you're REALLY looking for a challenge, Aug 30th would need around 909 words per day.

Chapter 29- mostly written, I just don’t think I like it. Or I like parts of it but overall it feels too bland and static and fussy

Chapter 30 - done. Fun, hot, equal parts angry and horny.

I wish ch 29 was a better lead in to 30. But also I’m several days behind as it is, and the entire exercise of this fic was to build momentum and shed the pursuit of perfectionism. Gahhhhh. Big dumb fic. Just let it be big and dumb.

ever noticed how its always the kindest most selfless ppl u know who are terrified of being evil in some way and the worst people on earth always seem to be utterly assured of their own rightness 😭

love when I work on a chapter too long so when I finally post it I am filled with nothing but loathing and despair. begone from my sight, I will be able to tolerate you again only with time and distance

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.

[drfronkensteen]

People’s need for their ship to be accepted by, if not the canon then at least the fandom, is very embarrassing

You KNOW you’ve hit a good pairing when every person you love that knows you ship it essentially hisses at the very mention and recoils in disgust. The pursuit of legitimacy has ruined the joy of the crackship. BE WEIRDER, PEOPLE

June of Doom 2026 ⚡︎

Hola, Doomers! Ask and thou shalt receive: here be the June of Doom 2026 prompt list for all your doomsday planning! All the good stuff's below the cut!

Previous Dooms: 2023 || 2024 || 2025

What the heck's a June of Doom?

This is a month-long prompt challenge/ list/ event/ thing that focuses on whump, angst, hurt/ comfort, and the like. Despite the air of doom it exudes, this challenge is very relaxed—your mod knows life happens but you still want to be part of your fandom(s), and sometimes you can't just sit down 30 days in a row to write/ art/ create. So, this list is out stupid early every year so you have the chance to prepare and particiapte! It's never too soon to Doom!

Rules

Tag your stuff with appropriate warnings, plzkthnx.

AI-created content is highly discouraged and frowned upon. I have no way of "checking", but I respect the time and effort people put into their crafts and encourage everyone to do the same. This isn't a contest for best written or prettiest art — it's a challenge, so challenge yourself.

Be cool. We're cool here. Don't like, don't read. Don't start none, won't be none. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. Let people be happy. 💕 (But if someone's comin' at you within the confines of this challenge, let me know ASAP.)

FAQ

You can participate with original and fan works!

You can do so with whatever medium you want!

You can combine this challenge with other challenges!

You can start/ finish this challenge whenever the heck you want! And I'll reblog it here if you tag the blog, even if it's not June!

You can use one, some, or all of the prompts listed for a given day however you want! The point is to be creative!

You can mix and match prompts from different days!

If nothing on a certain day is inspiring you, there are 15 alternate prompts this year consisting of last year's most popular prompts!

Angst, hurt/comfort, and lighter/funnier forms of whump are welcomed and encouraged! Torture takes many forms! :)

I'll post reminders and such as we get closer!

And don't forget to tag @juneofdoom so I can reblog all of your amazing stuff here! (I typically only check the #juneofdoom and #june of doom tags during the event, so tagging the blog itself is the best way to ensure I see it and share it!)

If you have any questions, comments, shout outs, ideas, or just need some encouragement, inbox me anytime, June or not!

Have fun, Doomers! ⚡︎
