❄️ Special Prompts ❄️

Keepers of the lost lore, walkers of the lonely path

The heart is hungry, so lies does it eat

Time is a blade that brings the sting of death, of love with nowhere to go

A gentle pulse of life, the fiery flower of chaos, and a love that refuses to die

Where the rippling waters go, cast a stone, the truth you’ll know

In shadowy corners, darkness is the oppressive force that drives a ghost to become corporeal during the holidays

A curse placed on an ancestral home breeds chaos

A stalker crashes the Christmas party

Forbidden love becomes a beacon for mysterious creatures

[cc-3636-wolffe]

So, @slytherinchemistrynerd and I decided to create a little event for June 2026 and since both of us love being creative and love challenges like Whumptober we decided to do our own version of it.

Here we proudly present our event, called "June of fluffy Feverwhump".

What is it? It´s a month-long event, created by me and my sibling, taking place in June. It´s centered around our favorite themes: Whump, Hurt/Comfort, Sickfics, Fluff

What kind of content can you create? Any content you want. From drawings and writings to photos or any other creative way you can think of. It should be based on the day´s prompt or one of the alt. prompts, but it´s up to you what you make of them. From “serious” works to complete crackfics, from sketches to fully fleshed out drawings - just be creative and have fun!

Important: This event is open for everyone, this means we accept every kind of content. NSFW, dark fics ect. are very welcome too, we do not support censorship in any way. We only ask you to put any mayor triggers in the tags, so content which might be triggering to some can be filtered. You can basically do everything you want with our prompts, it doesn´t matter if you only want to do one, two, ten or all 30 prompts. All fandoms are welcome as well as original works or works centered around your OCs.

Why did we create it? You may ask, why create another one of those Whump-events, when there are so many around already? The answer is easy: In a world like ours where people who aren´t "normal" - queer people, neurodiverse people, disabled people and so, so many more - have to struggle more than ever today we wanted to do something for the month, that somehow represents all of them: Pride Month. Because Pride Month is about accepting and loving the person next to you for who they are, no matter who they love or if they are disabled.

And in a way, you can say the same about fandoms, especially now that censorship, antishippers and all those other nasty people are on the rise. You don´t have to like everything you read, but you have to be respectful to the person writing them and you have to accept them the way they are. So, let´s celebrate our fanworks, every single one of them as unique as the person creating it. Be proud of who you are, of what you create <3

Have fun and happy Pride!

Rules below the cut:

Rules:

This event will be centered on characters with disabilities and chronic conditions, visible (ex, paraplegia; limb differences) and invisible (ex, migraines; CFS) mental and intellectual (ex, Down Syndrome, schizophrenia). Stories about characters from adjacent communities where not everyone in them identifies as disabled, such as characters who are Deaf/HOH or autistic, are welcome too. The bottom line is that the character(s) should have a condition which is impairing for them. For writing to qualify, please have one or more disabled/chronically ill characters as the focus of your story, rather than a side character/cameo in a story about nondisabled characters. Prompts are meant to facilitate stories about disability and disabled characters in the genres of hurt/comfort and whump (also known as hurt-no-comfort).

"Disability" can have a broad definition, and many conditions can be disabling. The moderator will not be filtering or rejecting submissions based on what medical conditions "count"; the only parameter is that the central character lives with a chronic condition of some type which is disabling for them in some way. Disabilities which come about in a fantasy or sci-fi setting are welcome as long as they are portrayed as being disabling in some way which is analogous (eg, a permanent problem caused by magic, or vampirism as a fantasy-disability). In fanfic it does not have to be canonical - headcanons and AUs are fine.

Please do not TAG your posts/links with the names of disabilities you are writing about (eg tagging a story about an epileptic character with “#epilepsy”,) or with “#disability” or “#chronic illness”, as those tags are used by disabled folks to talk about our RL disabilities and in the past there have been issues with writers inadvertently clogging those tags with fiction/writing advice.

Please DO tag your posts and links #disabledwhc2026 and, in a second tag, the day (eg, #day 1: established disability) so the mod can find and reblog them to the blog!

Original work and fanfic are both welcome; anything goes in terms of settings and genres (fantasy, sci-fi) as long as it’s h/c or whump.

You do not have to write for every prompt (that’s why there’s a mix of hurt and comfort!) or every day to be featured. If you don’t have time for 30 days, do as many as you feel like. If you only write either H/C or Whump, you can do a 15-day challenge, reinterpret the hurt prompts to include comfort, and/or find a whumpy spin on the comfort prompts.

If you write prompts out of order please still tag which day you are writing for and the title of that prompt set. So if you decide to post the prompt “frustrated ambition” from the set “Loss”, which is day 21, on May 3, please still tag your May 3 post “day 21: loss”.

There are no restrictions on what content can be posted, but please use content notes for the following topics: "Rape/Noncon" "Underage Sex" "Graphic Depictions of Violence" (ie gore), and "Major Character Death" before the start of your piece. You can also use the warning "Creator Chose Not to Use Content Warnings" if you do not want to spoil fic. Please use a "read more" for these pieces.

Please tag any NSFT works (explicit sexual content) as "NSFT". Please use a "read more" for these pieces.

[fluffyjuly]

April 2026 is Archaic April here at the Prompt Foundry! There are many things that once were everyday parts of life, that most people rarely if ever encounter anymore. Chores, occupations, and ways of doing things that have fallen by the wayside—let's take time to remember them, the place they once had in our lives and communities, and the fact that none of them are gone, even if they've become rare, even if they've changed.

Feel free to combine different days’ prompts with each other, or combine them with other events! Draw, paint, sculpt, sing, write fiction, write poetry, write academic analysis—use your OCs, your favorite characters from media, your own experiences, whatever tickles your fancy.

If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see what you create!

Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any, or posting your work after the day the prompt is assigned to. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!

If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don’t find your answer, shoot me an ask.

WHUMPAY 2026 - THE TIME HAS COME

Welcome to Whumpay 2026! Up above you will see the basic prompt list and down below the cut you will see it written out in a list as well the rules and the mini challenges/alternate prompts!

Rules are the same as usual -

You only have to use one prompt of the prompts for each day! But you’re welcome to use multiple if you want to. You can also combine days and it counts for both.

I know the description of the blog says it’s a writing event, but if you want to draw or make other kinds of content, that’s cool too.

Have fun, tag content warnings (such as noncon, graphic violence, etc) and try not to be crushed by the mortifying ordeal of posting your writing.

The mini challenges this year also function as your alternate prompts, you can replace a day with one of them if none of the prompts that day work for you.

This is a pretty chill event so you can start posting whenever but I’ll be reblogging posts made to the #Whumpay2026 tag throughout May. 

If you have any questions or need ideas, send an ask!

If you use Ai I’ll hunt you for sport.

and an extra special thanks to everyone who suggested prompts.

(Text version below the cut)

Welcome to Joyful June: a fanworks event where the goal is to let our favourite characters be happy!

The prompt calendar above is designed for maximum flexibility: if you can’t do something for every single day in a week, you can still do one thing based around that week’s theme!

(Or you can just do as much as you can anyway, whatever, the point is also for us to have some fun, but the completionism urge is strong)

Tag #JoyfulJune and #JoyfulJune26!

AO3 collection: joyfuljune26

What sorts of works?

Fanart, fanfic, music, anything that you would normally consider fanwork.

What fandoms are allowed?

This event originated on the Linked Universe discord, but any fandom is welcome! Be sure to tag the fandom clearly and if you’re creating for something in a nested fandom make sure you tag the right one (Linked Universe rather than Legend of Zelda; Rings of Power rather than Lord of the Rings, etc.).

Will you be reblogging work?

I’ll be following the tag and will do some reblogging, but I am but one person and can’t guarantee I’ll get everything, especially if a lot of people take part.

Do I have to do/post work on the day listed in the calendar?

Nope!

Is NSFW allowed?

Sure, but please tag it #NSFW and note that it won’t get reblogged here (I’m keeping this blog PG).

Can I use GenAI?

No.

Any other rules?

Don’t be a jerk.

April 2026 Prompt Theme: “Spring Cleaning”

Posting this early in case anyone wanted to get a head start. Have fun!

April is World Stress Awareness Month. It is meant to spread awareness about the causes, outcomes, and coping strategies revolving around stress.

The prompts were chosen to either be related to the feeling of stress, or something that might help someone to de-stress.

As usual, prompts can be done in any order that suits your fancy, and there is an AO3 collection (linked here) that will open on April 1. Feel free to post to Tumblr as well and tag #TropeVarietyHour2026

All fandoms and original work welcome!
