WE! WANT! YOU! FOR THE LESTAPPEN INCHIDENT FEST 2026!

are you sick of the ai fics in our tags on ao3? do you miss the amount of fanfic created between 2021 and 2023? do you crave a specific prompt that nobody has written yet?

fear not, for here is our official lestappen prompt fic fest 2026!

key dates: prompting is open now, fics need to be submitted by September 30th and will be revealed on October 8th - right between Max's and Charles' birthdays!

rules:

this is a prompt based fic fest - prompts will be randomly chosen by authors

all prompts/prompt fills should center around lestappen - everything is fine as long as they are the main ship

all other drivers and background ships are welcome, but the main focus is max and charles!

AI generated fics are NOT allowed!

all media (fics, art, etc.) is permitted

works will be shared ONLY on tumblr/ao3! (since this is focused on lestappen and not necessarily on just one half of the pair, fanart may not be driver-centric, so we hope you understand the reticence for other platforms to be involved)

minimum word count for fics should be 1.500 words

multi-chapter fics are allowed as long as you have the first chapter ready for the posting date on october 8th

who can participate: anyone can prompt and write for the fest!

have fun! this is a casual, fun event that isn't meant to stress you out.

prompting and sign-up is open now

important reminder: if you post the fic early to the collection, you will have to change the posting date once the collection goes live. we will send out reminders when the fics are uploaded.

600 euros raised!!

Hello everyone! we're so exited to say we've raised 600 euros for charities through this event in just a weeks time! It's so cool to see f1blr coming together and donating this much.

We've been connected commissions and artist today and will be reaching out to everyone who they have been connected to on sunday the 5th! most commissioners have been connected to multiple artists, this way every artist has one commission.

We still encourage people to keep donating and filling out the form when you have, a lot of the artists sill have slots open and more donations to charities are always good!

We will keep an eye on the forms to keep connecting commissions and artist over the coming month so please do keep donating if you're able to do so!

Either way we want to thank everyone for donating their time and their money to this event and I hope everyone has fun in the coming month with making commissions and seeing their commissions filled out!

[f1blrupdates]

theres a halloween-themed exchange happening at @f1-summerween-fest if you could boost that as well :D

will reblog! thanks for submitting, happy to help

[f1blrforaid]

F1BLR FOR AID EVENT

as we all know the april races in saudi arabia and bahrain have been cancelled because of the ongoing war. so, to make good use of this “break” we decided to organize an event to make some fun art and support the people who are affected by this war.

To do so, we will do a commission style event where creators make art after proof of donation has been given to a select number of charities!

we have a collection of different artists who have already signed up to have commission slots open! (but if you still want to join you can sign up through this google form)

there isn't a minimum needed but we encourage to give as much as you can!!

now how does it work?: step 1: you donate to one of these charities and fill out this form. (for fics it will be posted on tumblr and its a 1 euro/dollar per 100 words, so if you want 500 words that is 5 euros/dollars) step 2: we close the forms on friday the 3rd of april and connect you to a creator that is participating, does your requested form of art and has also submitted one of your drivers step 3: we inform said creator who and what is commissioned and they start working on it, they can in this time contact you for any extra info if they want, at this point you will also hear what creator is connected to your commission step 4: the comm is posted on tumblr under the #f1blrforaid tag and we have cool new art and other people have gotten some help!

FAQ:

what if a creator wont be able to make the april deadline?:

creators will have your username and you will know what creator was matched to your commission sheet, through this you can stay in contact about the commission but remember that this is for charity and low stress!

can I commission/donate more then once?:

of course you can and its definitely encouraged! best way to go is to simply fill out the form as many times as you donated, that way they will all be processed as different slots and you will get matched to different creators!

why are fics posted ONLY on tumblr?

because its against ao3 TOS to write fanfic in exchange for money, that's why its very very important that we keep the fics to tumblr and tumblr alone!

Read the rules and FAQs below + access the ao3 collection and join the Discord server!

***

Rules:

You must be over 18 years old,

You must claim a prompt to participate,

The prompts and submissions must be centred around omegaverse - it's not called an Omegaverse Fest for nothing! When prompting, keep the focus on omegaverse and associated tropes and dynamic - ships and characters are optional,

Sign-ups and prompting close on 17 May at 21:59 CET (Central European Time)

All pairings and characters are allowed as long as they're related to F1,

For written works, the minimum word count is 1.5k. For fanarts, it has to be at least a colorised sketch - and for graphics and any other type of visual art, apply a comparable standard,

When submitting your work, make sure it is locked!

No content is off limits - but tag and rate it appropriately,

Submit your work on time - the deadline is on 20 June at 21:59 CET (Central European Time).

FAQs:

What are the timelines again?

The sign-ups and prompting open on 1 March at 10:00,

Sign-ups and prompting close on 17 May at 21:59,

Works are due on 20 June at 21:59,

The collection will be revealed on 21 June at 17:00.

All times are in CET (Central European Time). Check what time it is for you HERE. And if you want to see a visual of the timeline you can check out the Fest's Tumblr.

How many prompts can I submit? You can submit up to 5 prompts.

Do I have to keep the prompt anonymous? No, you can choose to not submit a (semi-)anonymous prompt by unticking the checkbox at the end of the Prompt Form.

What does it mean that prompts and works have to be "centred around omegaverse"? For prompts, it means that they must be focused on omegaverse and associated tropes and dynamics. For example, you prompt two alphas in a rut or omega driver forgot his suppressants and goes into heat during the race weekend. You can also prompt certain characters and ships if you want, but you have to specify the relevant omegaverse designations and/or tropes. When writing or creating, you should fulfil the prompt and keep your focus on omegaverse. As a good rule of thumb, ask yourself if your prompt/submission would substantially change if the omegaverse aspect was removed from it. If the answer is no, then omegaverse is not central enough.

Can I submit my work anonymously? Yes, if you want to! You can do that by adding it to the Anonymous Collection on AO3 when you post your work.

Do I have to lock my work? Yes. If you don't know how to do it, you can find more information about it HERE.

Is there a limit to how many works I can submit? No! Write and create to your heart's content - as long as you keep the deadlines in mind.

Do I have to join the Discord server? No, you don't have to! All relevant information, such as the rules, FAQs and deadlines, is posted on AO3 and reposted on Tumblr. Discord might be good for you to join if you're looking to connect with other participants in the fest and discuss the prompts together.

I want to join the Discord server, how do I do that? You can find the link on Tumbr or you can join via THIS invite.

I never participated in a fandom event like this and I'm still confused - what do I do? You can check out AO3's FAQs on Prompt Memes, which should answer all your questions.

What if I have a question that has not been answered here? You can send an ask on the Fest's Tumblr or ask the Admin directly in the Fest's Discord server, if you decide to join it.

F1 Playlist Fic Exchange 2026

Hi hello <3

Have you ever wanted to read a fic based on your favourite song? We’re happy to announce that the F1 Playlist Fic Exchange is going into the fourth year and is about to kick off!! <3

Just as in the past three years, every writer who participates will offer three songs to a fellow author for them to create a fic that will be based on one of these songs, and you will receive three songs from someone else in return to write them a fic inspired by their favourite music.

As always, there will be a playlist with everyone's song choices that we'll share once assignments are out for everyone who's curious about what songs are in the mix. Last year, we made a Discord server for every writer who participates but you can of course still join even if you don't plan on writing a fic for the exchange - to perhaps help the writers brainstorm, cheer them on, beta read, pinch hit if needed, or just hang out there together.

More information, the rules, and all the links you'll need under the cut:

How does it work?

This is a fic exchange, so everyone will write and receive a fic. To write your gift for someone else (Offer): You submit a few pairings you're willing to write. You can of course indicate any content or rating(s) you wouldn't feel comfortable writing. You'll then receive someone else's request that matches with your own, and you pick one of their songs to base a fic on. For your gift (Request): You submit the pairing(s) you'd like to read and three songs that you would love to receive a fic based on. You can indicate any characters and content you don't want, and you can also opt in or out of explicit content, specify the rating(s) you would be comfortable with receiving, anything that you feel would be important for your gift giver to know. You may request anything (themes/kinks/tropes) you want, but understand that your gifter is under no obligation to write them. Another author will be matched to you and will pick one of your songs to inspire a story they write for you!

Can I pick any song?

Sure! Any era or style of song is fine. With a few logical constraints - please make sure the gift giver can access the song easily (ideally it should be available on Spotify, YouTube, or another major service). At least two of the songs must have lyrics. Some advice on choosing songs! Consider adding variation to your selections to give your gift giver the best chance to be inspired. For example, if you pick 3 break up songs, then you're giving your writer less to play with.

What if I'm not inspired by the songs I get?

'Inspired by' is a very loose term! You can take any element of the song to turn into a story. Don't feel pressured to literally write the plot or use the entire song. It could be a story inspired by the whole song or just by some of the lyrics or by the title or by the vibe of the song. The mods are also around to answer any questions you might have and help brainstorm options/plots/vibes. You can find Ceci as @carpe-dracon on Tumblr, Ann as @hrhgeorgerussell on Tumblr, and Pauli as @golden-fairylights on Tumblr. Alternatively, you can message us under [email protected]. If you'd like to join our Discord server for the exchange, you can also @ us there or message us directly. And as always, chatting about your fic idea(s) with friends also helps! <3

How long does the fic have to be?

The minimum length is 1500 words.

What's the timeline?

Sign-ups will be open for about a week and a half from today, the 20th January until they close on the 31st January. Once sign-ups are closed, you'll receive your assignment on the 1st February. You will then have a month and a half to write your fic until the deadline, which will be on the 15th March this year. We'll check in with everyone a few days before the deadline. <3

What if I can't finish my story?

No fandom stuff is worth feeling stressed about. With an exchange, it's important that everyone who writes a fic also gets one in return! So if you can't complete something by the deadline, please let us know ASAP so we can organise a gift for that person.

How do I post my fic to the collection?

In your Ao3 Dashboard, go to the Assignments tab and follow the prompts.

Is it only fic or can I make art?

It is just fic for now!

Is it only F1 pairings (or also Formula 2, Formula E etc)?

To increase the chance of everyone getting a match, this exchange will only be Formula One pairings. The exception is if two people want to sign up and put the same F2/FE pairing, and be matched with each other. That's completely fine, just please let us know as soon as possible. <3 You can request and offer fics about any F1 pairing you would like, whether that is modern F1 or classic F1. The more ships you request and offer the better we can match you.

Do I need an Ao3 account to participate?

Yes.

What if nobody offers to write my pairing?

If anyone is unmatched, we'll do our best to find them a match or, worst case situation, message them to discuss a different pairing. The more pairings you put in, the more likely you are to get a match. For example, you can put only classic F1 pairings, but it might be easier to match you if you put both modern and classic F1 pairings, just to make sure. Similarly, you're of course welcome to request as many rarepairs as you'd like, but depending on who else signs up and who offers what, it'd be great if you had a little bit of a range of options for us to match you as well as possible.

I have another question that you haven't answered.

Oh no! Hit us up on this Tumblr (@f1playlistficexchange) or message us directly on Tumblr under @carpe-dracon (Ceci) @hrhgeorgerussell (Ann) or @golden-fairylights (Pauli). You can alternatively write us an email ([email protected]) for any help. If you choose to join the Discord (or are already in it from last year, in which case, hi, welcome back!!) tag @moderator in our Discord server or message us directly on Discord.

If you have any questions or need help with brainstorming, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us or other members of the server. Please try to avoid reaching out to your giftee, for example on Discord, to keep the element of surprise. If you have a question for them, message a mod, and we'll be your messenger.

Links:

Here is the link to this year's 2026 Ao3 Collection where you can fill out your sign up form until the 31st January. (The link should take you to the profile page of the Ao3 Collection, and you will find the sign-up form via the Collection menu.) (And if you're curious how last year's exchange worked and what fics were written for it, this is the 2025 Ao3 Collection with all the wonderful stories that were posted last March!!) Here is our Discord server for the exchange. Please let us know in case the links don't work for you, and we'll look into it.

Much love <3

Ceci, Pauli, and Ann xx

[gaxfest]

5 days left until the sign-ups and the prompting closes! (23:59 CET 13th January)
