Please note that we will be capping this year's submissions at 300 prompts. We encourage you to check the prompt list before submitting to avoid duplicates or prompts that are too similar to one another.
Prompting will be open until 20 March and claiming will start 24 March.
All prompts are available to be viewed in our prompt browser as soon as they are submitted.
At the bottom of the spreadsheet, you'll find four sections/tabs that you can use to navigate the prompts more easily.
all prompts - every prompt, in order of submission, no filters
ships alphabetical (no dead dove) - non dead dove prompts only, sorted by ship in alphabetical order
ships alphabetical (dead dove) - dead dove prompts only, sorted by ship in alphabetical order
art friendly - art prompts (prompts marked as art friendly or works for fic/art), excludes dead dove
The Purpose of the tabs is to allow creators more control over the content they view. Artists and writers are both, of course, welcome to claim any prompt. The purpose of the Art Friendly tab is to help artists find more suitable prompts, but does not restrict either form of creation.
As we approach the 2026 run of Moony’s Midlife Crisis Fest, we thought it would be fun to remember all the works that were created in 2025. So, in the course of the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting each of those works in different category rec posts on our socials!
Today, we curated a list of a couple more wolfstar smutty short (from 5k to 10k) fics from last year’s fest. Have fun reading (or rereading) them!
Wolf and wolfhound by @marigold-hills, @hoje--aqui (5,8k)
this is bliss, this is hell by @quiethauntings(7,2k)
soft days remain by @sorealis, @rayukiriver(7,7k)
permanence by @goldenprophetwrites(8,1k)
r/relationship_advice by @goldenprophetwrites(8,3k)
Last year’s run was a tremendous success, with 78 creators, 105 works, and 1.2mil words!
Additionally, the wonderful community we’ve built with you—the writers, the artists, the enjoyers—remains dear to our hearts!
We hope to repeat this amazing experience this year, with old and new friends alike!
To anyone new to MMCF, here’s our spiel:
Do you like your Remus Lupin pathetic?
Do you like him old and a little sad?
Do you like him when he's a recluse and a bit weird?
If you said yes to any of these, then you'll love Moony's Midlife Crisis Fest!
Now, without further ado, The Mods are proud to present the MMCF 2026 schedule:

(3) The entries for this event can either be in the form of written stories or artworks. All submissions must be of your own creation or must be added with the original author/artist’s explicit permission.
(4) As this is a fandom-focused event, your entries must stay within the Harry Potter universe. No crossovers or original characters will be accepted.
(5) All entries must be new works, meaning that your submission cannot be an additional chapter of an existing fic. However, it can be a part of an existing series of one-shots or related works.
- You cannot combine prompts into one story or artwork; however, you are allowed to create a story where each chapter is a prompt.
(6) Each submission must be appropriately tagged and content-warned. This includes the use of the Archive Rating and Warnings.
- If you decide to use “Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings”, you must still warn for potentially triggering content in the additional tags or the author’s notes.
- Submissions with any Underage content will not be accepted. This includes any relationship, whether explicit or implied, between an adult and a character younger than 18 years old.
(7) Your entries must involve animagi in some way. For exemple, a character going through their first transformation; using their new abilities; being stuck in their animal form or fighting against it; or characters simply discussing the topic...
(8) To help keep the collection organized, please use the following tag format:
- Each entry must have the tag HP Animagi Week 2026.
- Each entry must have a tag for the prompt used (example of tag: Day 1: Rain or Joker 1: Sun).

As we approach the 2026 run of Moony’s Midlife Crisis Fest, we thought it would be fun to remember all the works that were created in 2025. So, in the course of the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting each of those works in different category rec posts on our socials!
Today, we curated a list of some wolfstar smutty short (less than 5k) fics from last year’s fest. Have fun reading (or rereading) them!
Writer signups for the Wolfstar Scrapbook Project are now open!

Artist signups are now closed.
Remember:
Writers will be accepted on a “first come, first serve” basis, in accordance with the number of artists who signed up.

We are very excited to announce our prompts for Crack Week, and even more excited to see what you all come up with!

There are no sign-ups, no prompt claims, and no strict expectations! You can create as many works as you like, with as many prompts as you wish to use, and can go off script completely if you have a crack-y idea that fits within the spirit of the fest! You can find more information in our rules & FAQ.
Our inbox is always open if you have any questions! We're also on Instagram and TikTok, and are part of the @misc-marauders-fests Discord server!

Love,
Your Crack Week Mods ❤🥚
Sex shop, April fools, potion, bald/hairy
Arthur Weasley's car, murder mystery, time travel, were-animal.

Over the next couple of weeks we'll be posting some themed fic recs from the Wolfstar Big Bang reveals. We know there are lots of them, so we hope these lists will help you find something for you!
Now, these fics may not all be centered on young Harry or young Teddy, or Wolfstar raising them together, but we thought they fit the headline. Give them a read!
