The Gax Summer is a two weeks long fandom event focusing on George Russell and Max Verstappen with three prompts for each day to choose from and create something for.
RULES
š” George Russell/Max Verstappen should be the main pairing. (There can be other pairings but the creation (story, drawing, GIF set, video etc.) has to focus on Gax.)
š¶ The first prompt for each day is something either George or Max said in connection with the other (with a few exceptions that could still fit in), and if you choose one of those prompts, the goal would be to take them out of context. (For example the first prompt was said during an interview, but in a story/creation itād be ideal for a crime setting where the police questions George after Max has disappeared.)
š” You can choose only one prompt or combine two or more of the same day. Please donāt combine prompts from different days.
š¶ You can create any type of work, writing, art, GIF sets, podfics, videos, posters/edits, web-weaves, crafts, anything.
š” This event focuses on short single-chapter stories and quick creations like sketches. You can write multi-chapter stories if you really want to, but all chapters of multi-chapter stories must be finished by the deadline (the end of the day of your chosen prompt(s) ā 23:59 CEST) to ensure people can read the whole story and that it won't be left unfinished.
š¶ Thereās no minimum wordcount or equivalent for any type of work.
š” This is an AI free event. Please respect your fellow creators and do not bring any AI slop here.
š¶ All ratings and themes are welcome but please tag appropriately.
š” Please donāt post your creation before the day of your prompt.
š¶ If you post your creation(s) on Tumblr, please put the day and the prompt itself somewhere at the beginning of your post, and use the Gax Summer 2026 tag so that I can see and reblog your posts.
š” Please pay attention to correct tagging. F1 Esports RPF is not the same as Formula 1 RPF, itās about the esports players, not the F1 drivers. Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings is also not the same as No Archive Warnings Apply and they shouldnāt be used on the same story. The first implies that one or more of the required warnings could apply to the story but the author doesnāt want to spoil it, while the other means there arenāt any topics in the story thatād require any of the warnings.
š” If you want to post your creation on Ao3, too, please claim the prompt of the day to which youāve created for in the collection of the event, and fulfill the claim in time (by the end of the day of your chosen prompt ā 23:59 CEST).
š¶ All creations posted on Ao3 must be archive locked!
Ignorance of the rules does not exempt you from following them.
TIMELINE
Reveal of the prompt list: 17 June.
Beginning of posting: 1 July.
End of the event: 14 July.

If you have any questions, feel free to send an ask (or a private message). š
Just letting the anon who sent omorashi (as well as some others) and said they haven't seen many fics with it yet, that the Formula 1 RPF fandom on Ao3 has 203 fics tagged with omorashi. In case you'd like to read some.
Omorashi won't be on the list because watersports was on the Gax Summer list and they're under the same umbrella basically. But thank you for the others, I'm gonna check them out because I haven't heard of the majority of them yet. š
There are 17 kinks on the Gax Kinktober 2026 list so far, so feel free to send more in ask. I'd love to see less popular/niche kinks as well. Even better if there aren't any stories with it in the fandom yet. (Mine also started like that a few years ago.) Who knows, maybe an event like this could result in people realizing it's pretty cool and they'll write more about it. š
Okay, so, the kinks that were in the Gax Summer are:
Watersports
Dacryphilia
Consensual Non-Consent (CNC)
Feminization
Shibari
These won't be on the prompt list for the next event. But outside these you're free to send (in ask) any kinks from now on until I say that the Gax Kinktober 2026 prompt is full.
As always, I can't promise all the kinks you send will be on the list but there are 93 spots so I'll try and make sure they're (or at least something similar to them is) on it.
The event will start at the 1st October, the prompt list will be released 25th August, so in a bit more than a month.
If you have any questions, feel free to send an ask. š
For the kink fest I'd like to suggest age regression (:
Sorry, but this topic is important to me so I'd like to make sure we mean the same thing and if there's confusion, it's clarified.
Age regression is not a kink but a coping mechanism for people with trauma. It's not sexual in any way.
Age play is a kink, a consensual activity where adults roleplay different ages, often within the context of sexual exploration.Ā
Did you mean age play in your ask? If yes, please send a new ask with it so that I don't forget about it. I can't put age regression on the list because it's not a kink.
And please don't use age regression when you mean age play. ā¤ The two are very different things and regressors don't like when people mix the two and bring sexual things into age regression. It's a big no.

In the kinky Gax event poll, the āin October with a pre-made listā option has won (over the āin August and September as a festā option).
My āproblemā with this was that because it'd be from 1st October to 31st October, there'd only be 25 days before the last event of the year starts.
To this came the suggestion to make it shorter (2 weeks) so that there'd be then a month between the two events.
One month long Gax Kinktober:
Pro: 93 different kinks/prompts (because I'm planning three options for each days).
Con: It's a month long so there'd only be 25 days between this and the last event.
Two weeks long Gax Kinktober:
Pro: It's shorter so there's more time between this and the last event.
Con: Less (42) kinks to choose from.
To make it easier to choose, the last event of the year will focus on one creation from each participant and it'll be a month long. So it's not another 30 days of prompts type of thing if you were worried about it. You'll have one month to work on your one creation.
This kinky event will work the same way the Gax Summer worked. So if you didn't like it, this event won't be for you. In case of the one month event the list will be released five weeks earlier so you'll have a month + an extra week to work on your creations, in case of the two weeks event it'll be two + one week like it was for the Gax Summer.

REPOSTING THIS BC APPARENTLY IM AN IDIOT AND ACCIDENTALLY DELETED IT BUT
long post regarding this post by @prokrastinartiya because i felt deeply upset on their behalf (and because i hate an "im not like other girls" ass bitch).
i dont typically engage directly with stupid takes like aubrey kern's, but i ended up commenting on the post (probably not as eloquently as i'd have liked, but i don't know what instagram's character limit is).
this entire post felt so out of touch. it was like they saw the ferrari video and ran with an idea. so many of us who create fandom content create it for our small corner of the internet. we go through extra hoops to make sure that we aren't disrespecting any boundaries or opening our work to be found by the people associated with it. we lock accounts, we lock fics, we make extensive disclaimers to keep our work in our bubbles. and yes, of course we can argue the ethics of fanfiction, but at the end of the day, it always comes down to do not shove it in people's faces. which is a rule that at least 90% of people who create rpf try to adhere to.
it's the same bullshit but a different day where we beg those with public platforms to please not take the art, the fanfiction, the work we create for our people to be taken outside and waved around for people to rip apart and bully both it and us. this creator thinks they're bringing attention to something horrible and awful when in reality, we, the ones doing the creating, have been screaming about how fandom content should stay in fandom circles. you have intentionally brought this content somewhere that the people depicted can see it. you are preaching about how this is weird and disturbs you, and yet you intentionally sought it out. if you don't like it, no one is forcing you to consume the content. you don't have to go on ao3. you don't have to follow people who write fanfiction or make fanart. yet, you, aubrey kern, have intentionally consumed content that you know upsets you and may upset others for the purpose of what? getting clicks? it's not okay to disrespect a millionaire, tax evading, white men, but it's okay to disrespect a random person on the internet's? sure.
fanfiction, also, has existed for years. fandom has existed for years. anyone who has been famous or has had a very public platform for any amount of time knows that content probably exists somewhere about them. however, they don't seek it out. does that make it okay? im not an ethics guide so i can't answer that. but again, we make a conscious effort to not blast our rpf in their faces. if oscar piastri is on the internet searching for fics about his teammate blasting him in the ass, that is his decision and he is responsible for his choices on the internet. especially when the fics i write are under lock and key and clearly not meant for the consumption of people who don't want to consume them.
it is only now becoming as big of an issue as it is because social media admins, media outlets, and content creators such as yourself are making it an issue. you're, again, ripping shit off the internet that was never ever intended to leave its bubble.
and yes, i am fully aware that the internet is not a private space, but people in fandom spaces do their best to keep it as private as possible. we don't condone posting about it on instagram or twitter. threads. taking it to the person it's about. we keep it to our dms and our tumblr accounts. and yet, here you are, throwing it in people's faces.
lumping rpf and fanfiction in with parasocialism is also an odd take. sure, maybe you can make an argument about self-insert fiction, but even then, i think that's dumb. i used to write self-insert. that's what my entire blog was originally. there is nothing wrong with fantasizing about celebrities or athletes. yes, you should be calling out the people who take it too far, like the people who send insane amounts of hate to the partners of the drivers, or people who are unwell and think they have a weird claim over them. but people who write silly little fanfics on the internet are not the problem. not the majority of them, at least.
i took my time to go through this creator's account, too. i wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, seeing as she said she was newer to F1 (no shame, we all gotta start somewhere. i'm also still relatively new to the sport), however, i find it difficult to. she's made not one, but two posts about the toxic fan culture in F1, with which, i can agree. there definitely is one and it wholly needs to be addressed, but both posts only address women and women-centered issues and not the fact that men are the biggest reason why non-cis men find it difficult to find community here.
you want to find community with other women who are new to motorsports and formula and yet you seem to have some sort of superiority complex about gran turismo being what really got you into the sport. that it bothers you when men say, "you must like F1 because you think the drivers are hot", that drive to survive "shattered the barrier between drivers and fans". and yet you are still upholding a lot of the ideas that you claim to disagree with. lando norris is what caught your attention first. you wanted to know more about the sport because you liked lando, and that is okay. don't make yourself miserable because you want to placate men and cater to misogyny.
i commented on her post, calling her out for being out of touch, and all she had to say was "i can still be pro-women in motorsport and still call out strange behaviors". but you're not pro women in motorsport if you only call out women.
yes, there's an issue of abhorrent, rampant misogyny within F1 from both sides, but you are not making it better by only calling out women for being weird and strange. if you only take issue with women, and only make an effort to call out women, then you are a part of the problem. call out parasocialism, call out bullying wags and the "my driver can do no wrong" delusions. yes, absolutely! but you cannot also make it entirely the fault of women.
whether she realizes it or not, she's pandering to men by only calling out the "weird" behaviors of other women. women are allowed to enjoy so little. fanfiction, romance novels, and smut are some of the only things we (and other non cis-men) have to enjoy in fandom before pick-mes and men take it and drag it through the mud. you don't build community with other girls and women by making them feel unwelcome for like mundane things like F1 romance novels, being attracted to the drivers, and fanfiction. that's how you create division. that's how you make people feel unwelcome.
donāt know how to comment on this situation. why the fuck does my art have got to do with this slide.. hope the author is enjoying themselves. iām so upset
In the kinky Gax event poll, the āin October with a pre-made listā option has won (over the āin August and September as a festā option).
My āproblemā with this was that because it'd be from 1st October to 31st October, there'd only be 25 days before the last event of the year starts.
To this came the suggestion to make it shorter (2 weeks) so that there'd be then a month between the two events.
One month long Gax Kinktober:
Pro: 93 different kinks/prompts (because I'm planning three options for each days).
Con: It's a month long so there'd only be 25 days between this and the last event.
Two weeks long Gax Kinktober:
Pro: It's shorter so there's more time between this and the last event.
Con: Less (42) kinks to choose from.
To make it easier to choose, the last event of the year will focus on one creation from each participant and it'll be a month long. So it's not another 30 days of prompts type of thing if you were worried about it. You'll have one month to work on your one creation.
This kinky event will work the same way the Gax Summer worked. So if you didn't like it, this event won't be for you. In case of the one month event the list will be released five weeks earlier so you'll have a month + an extra week to work on your creations, in case of the two weeks event it'll be two + one week like it was for the Gax Summer.
suggestion for a third option: a kinktober-like event but with different prompts maybe, and only the first two weeks of October? that way it's not that long and there's still over a month between that and the next fest?
That could also work. We'll see how the poll goes and depending on the result I'll make another poll to see if people want a short version or the normal, one month version. š
(The other event wouldn't be like the previous ones, it'll focus on only one creation from each participant, and they'll have one month to finish it, so it's not two one month long events with 90 prompts or something.)
So, question to you guys: There was a suggestion for a kinky Gax event for the future. A post reminded me of the existence of kinktober, and I was thinking about whether to do something like that, but then I remembered the next event I planned would start around the end of November, so I have a feeling the two would be too close to each other. (Kinktober from 1st October to 31st October, and then the next event from 25th November. So there'd only be 25 days between the two.)
How are you feeling about this?
Or, another option would be that it's not Kinktober, so not in October and not with a pre-made list like in the Gax Summer or in Kinktobers in general, but a fest like the Gax Fest where you can add your own prompts on Ao3 into the collection of the event. And it could be from 1st August to, I don't know, 30th September or something. And then there'd be almost two months between that and the last event of the year.
Let me know what you think. š
Kinky Gax event in
August and September as a fest.
October with a pre-made list. (With your suggestions.)
Next year. We don't need two more events this year.

The Gax Summer is officially over, so the account won't be active (unless I find something I want to reblog here), but I'll come back sometime in November to tell you about the event for the winter break. I'm really excited about it, I hope you'll like it. š
Until then you can find me on my personal account @watercolor-hearts.
