Dear Polin Family,
I am happy to share the prompts for our Alternative Universe month long event: Enter The Polinverse 2025!
I am sharing the list early so that you may have more time to work if needed, but I will post again on the 1st of July as a reminder that there is a month before the event and also to share the tags we will be using for this event. An AO3 collection will be available and will open August 1, 2025 and won’t close until September 30, 2025 so you can add your work to the collection even if you are unable to post during August.
When the collection is available it is up to your own discretion, but please remember to be mindful as you tag when you post and readers please remember to curate your own experiences. If you’re not enjoying the fic, just exit. Writers are not required to spoil their work in the tags so please proceed with caution and be respectful if the story is not going in the direction you wanted. Even though it is very nice to know if we are not leading to a HEA or to be given a heads up on certain topics, it’s always best to find a kind way to ask for tags—not make demands. Remember, the writers are human first. The same goes for artists. Please treat them with respect and do not repost or alter their work in any way unless given explicit permission.
Writers if you would like, you may also add a permission statement to allow your fics to either be translated or turned into podfics. If the writer has not stated that it is allowed, please ask first before translating any fics.
Just as a reminder, creatives are able to use any form of expression as long as Generative AI is NOT used. You can make edits, fanfics, fanart, show off screenshots from games you play using Penelope and Colin as your characters, draw stick figures, post plot bunnies—anything! There will be games and polls to look forward to as well.
What’s important is that you all have fun and that you are respectful of your fellow creatives and members of the polin family. I cannot wait to see what everyone does to celebrate the polin multiverse.
With all of my love,
A Most Excited Mod
