Fantasy Bruce Wayne Event FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes, absolutely! Please make certain it is posted to Ao3 on the day your chosen prompt(s) go live (or as soon as able), add it to the Ao3 collection, and please tag us here on Tumblr so we can reblog your podfic!
We only ask that your recorded audio is nice and clear, and please consider adding Captioning to your podfic!
Are all ships welcome? Like, all of them? Even that one?
Yes! Every ship is welcome, from BruTalia, to poly JLA, to rarepairs like KaraBru, CrocBat, or even ships like BruDick! The ships in question can be romantic or platonic. It is entirely up to you. (Please see our rule about no underage NSFW content)
You can also say, heck, no ships for me! And create a piece without any shipping content of any kind. This also includes Ace or Aro Bruce content! 😊
Which versions of Bruce are allowed?
All of them! Genderbent, queer, trans, asian, black, disabled, or any other version you can think of!
As long as the piece created reflects at least one prompt for the day on the calendar that you are posting it to, then it will be accepted. Mix and match to your hearts content! However, if you are combining a prompt from day 2 and a prompt from day 7, please post your work on day 7. (Aka, post your work according to the prompt farthest out in the month that it corresponds to)
Does this event allow Batfam/Rogues/League/Outsiders/ectect characters?
The pieces can include any other DC characters, but a fantasy version of Bruce Wayne must be the center of the work.
For example, you can have all of the Batkids and JLA shown in the work, but Bruce must be the main character of the work, and the plot must revolve around him. He does not need to be the POV character per se, but the piece must be about Fantasy Bruce.
A work with, say, the Batkids as the primary focus, where Bruce is just standing off to the side and is not central to the plot, is not allowed. There are plenty other events for that.
Can other characters in the work be fantasy based, or only Bruce?
Yes, other characters within the pieces can be part of the fantasy world/elements. Creatures, mages, tech folks, blobs from space! Bruce in particular must be Fantasy-ified, that means he must be or become afflicted with some flavor of Fantasy (we also allow sci-fi), such as: Alchemist, Daemon, Genie, Swamp Creature, Vampire Hunter, Cybernetically Altered, Eldritch, Steampunk Detective, or whatever! Let the prompts speak to you.
Note: Bruce does not need to have a power if you do not want him to, he simply must be a part of the Fantasy Setting that the prompt is associated with in some way.
I see a prompt that I wanna apply Omegaverse rules too... 👀 Can I?
As long as your work adheres to the rules (No Underage, Bruce-centric, prompt-based), your work can contain any other fanfiction tropes you like.
Is Dead Dove Content allowed?
Yes! 😊 There are no restrictions on the rating of the work or content within pieces except for Underage NSFW, which we are not allowing in this event.
Can I set the piece in DCEU, or use Battinson, ect, in my work?
As long as Bruce gets smacked by the Fantasy prompt of your choosing, per our upcoming Event Calendar, then you can use any version of Bruce to fiddle around with.
Can I post multiple submissions/pieces? Even chaptered works?
Yes, you can choose to put forth as many pieces as you like, but if they are one shots, they must be considered Finished Works at time of posting. We will allow chapter works as long as the first chapter is finished and posted. Participants are welcome to finish those works on their own time, long after the event is over.
My buddy and I want to create companion pieces that go together (i.e: art paired with a fic) Can we?
As long as the art is embedded into the fic (or podfic), as well as linked to the artist's usual posting arena (Tumblr, Twitter, Insta), and you properly credit one another, then yes. Same goes for pairing a fic with a podfic version.
I have a previous version of Fantasy Bruce, and want to make a continuation piece for the event. Is this okay?
Go right ahead, as long as the piece for the event is a new creation and not a reused older piece that has already been published.
What is the collection I add my piece(s) to on Ao3?
Our Ao3 Collection Tag: FBWE_2026
(please note, the collection is not currently open nor revealed yet)
The collection will only be open starting Nov. 1st. Please add the tag above to your piece if you are posting it on Ao3, and please tag this blog here on Tumblr so we can reblog your work!
If for any reason you cannot post your piece the day of the prompt it is for, we will allow pieces to be submitted late! The goal is to have your pieces finished and posted first and foremost!
The deadline to have your piece submitted before the collection is closed forever (gasp) and we stop reblogging pieces on the event blog is December 14th.
If there are any questions or concerns not covered by the Rules or FAQ, we do allow anon asks! Please ask us your question and we will get back to you asap!
Psst, hey. You! We are currently accepting Prompt Submissions! Please check out our Prompt Submission Form to submit any prompts you wanna see in the event!
