Graham Gore Week ’26

an event by @grahamgored, running from march 1st to 14th!

[grahamgoreweek]

Hello Terrors and Erebites! Mark your calendars for this upcoming March — Graham Gore Week (weeks!) will run from March 1st to 14th! You can find the prompt list here, and the AO3 collection here.

Basic Rules & Guidelines:

Keep it Terror, and keep it Gore!

NO generative AI will be tolerated.

Some works may be mature or explicit. This is an 18+ event, please keep it that way.

As this event has two weeks of prompts, feel free to participate as often or as little as you'd like.

That said, all prompt days feature two prompts to offer some variety. Feel free to use one or both!

Works of all kinds are welcomed and encouraged — feel free to create fanfic, fanart, playlists, gifsets, edits, essays, metas, anything you'd like!

If you would like your work reblogged here, please mention @grahamgoreweek! You can also tag your post/s #grahamgoreweek26.

Works of all ratings are allowed for any prompt fill. Please make sure you tag your works accordingly!

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message or send me an ask! This is my (@grahamgored) first time running an event, so there might be a few bumps in the road. Bear (🐻‍❄️) with me— did you fucking see that?

Prompt List for 2026! It's here!

- and with a few months to spare before the event itself starts. This is to allow you to plan, prepare, decide which prompts you like or want to replace, etc. We have two sets of prompts - weekly and daily ones. You can decide which list to use, but you can use both, if you like an even bigger challange!

Weekly prompt list

Daily prompt list

Unfortunately, when I try to upload a high res image of the daily list, it gets shut down. So if you want to use a HQ version, go to this > google drive < link and download it off there.

Excited to see you all in October! Have an awesome Summer in the meantime.

Ahoy, Terror fans! Have you been having fun trapping lieutenants in ice cubes? Do you long to do even more fun things to them? Then you might enjoy Lieutenantfest! A 7-day celebration of the 7 lieutenants from The Terror (2018), running from July 6th to July 12th.

Benjo Plans (About The Event)

Lieutenantfest is a fanwork event dedicated to Lts. Gore, Le Vesconte, Fairholme, Little, Hodgson, Irving, and Jopson from AMC's The Terror! This is a fun and casual celebration hosted on this blog and its accompanying AO3 collection. Stay tuned for a detailed schedule for the week, along with some optional prompts for each day!

The Articles (Event Guidelines)

Rules For Participating:

No AI-generated anything allowed.

With the above caveat, any fanwork medium is welcome! Fanart, fanfiction, fanvids, playlists, edits, GIFsets, moodboards, meta, memes, photosets, fiber arts, fansongs, a cake with Fairholme's face on it, anything. Especially the Fairholme cake.

No adult content restrictions! As long as everything is properly tagged, works of all ratings and topics are allowed.

Due to the rule above, all participants must be 18+. If you create or consume any fanworks for this event, you will be assumed to be following this rule.

Feel free to combine this event with any other concurrent fandom events, such as The Terror Whumpathon!

While this event is primarily geared towards the characters from The Terror (2018), fanworks for historical RPF or other fictional depictions of the Franklin Expedition lieutenants are also welcome! This event warmly accepts fans of William Malcolm, The Ministry of Time, and everything in between.

All event prompts are 100% optional. They're meant to be inspirations, not restrictions!

All fanworks must prominently feature at least one (1) of the lieuts, but to be clear, there is no requirement to feature their actual rank! Canon divergence, AUs, crossovers, etc. are all welcome. Draw Dundy as a midshipman a few years before canon, cosplay as Werewolf!Nedward, or write about Hodge captaining a trivia team in the 21st century. :3 Get creative!

How To Participate:

No sign up required! All you need in order to participate is a Tumblr and/or AO3 account.

In order for your fanworks to be reblogged here and included in our masterlist of works at the end of the event, make sure to use the tag #lieutenantfest and/or @ this blog in your post! (And if you believe your post was missed, shoot the blog an ask or message and that'll be rectified posthaste!) Posting dates for the event are July 6th through July 12th, but feel free to use the #lieutenantfest tag and/or @ the blog with your lieut-themed WIPs any time before that so we can all get super excited and build anticipation!

For fanworks posted to AO3, please add them to our AO3 collection!

If you don't finish your creation in time to post it during the event proper, no worries! Both the AO3 collection and this blog will remain active after the "official" event dates. Never too late to post more lieuts!

Most importantly of all, have fun!!! Don't let the epaulettes fool you; nobody is standing on ceremony here. This is a lighthearted celebration intended to inspire fan creations of all kinds!

Is there anything special you require, Sir? (Questions & Concerns)

Feel free to send this blog an ask or a message! This event has only one mod so a response may not be immediate, but that mod is very happy to help you with anything at all. Thank you so much for your interest in the event! 💙

[grahamgoreweek]

Graham stirs awake before the sun breaks. He is sweating, even in the cold of night, and delusions pull at his mind. Strange anxieties. He could have sworn he felt a claw in his chest– then teeth. Teeth that could unmake a man. Splitting open skin, then flesh, then crushing bone.

…

Graham dreams, and dreams, and dreams of his death.

[grahamgoreweek]

Hellooo Terrors and Erebites, and thank you for an amazing Graham Gore Week! It's been a really good run, and it's been so fun seeing everything you guys have written, drawn, and created. That said! Even though Graham Gore Week is over, there's a grace period up until the end of March if anyone has any WIPs or otherwise unfinished projects they're still working on :]

[grahamgoreweek]

Hello all! Small reminder that the grace period comes to a close tomorrow on the 31st, so if you have any fics that you would like to post in time for the masterlist, you can still post them!

The hour was late, the rain was pouring, and Graham was certain that Mr. Goodsir had already shut his door on any more visitors for the night. Still, he promised the man that he would call, and he couldn’t be blamed for Captain Crozier’s insistence that they all learn how to dismantle and rebuild the chronometers, which were quite prone to stiffening up and failing in the frigid temperatures they were to be used in.

…

In the days leading up to the expedition, Lieutenant Gore pays a visit to Mr. Goodsir.

[theterrorwhumpathon]

What is this event?

This is an open-ended, no-deadline, whump-based bingo game for The Terror fandom. To play, you get a personalized card. Then you make a fanwork (art, fiction, gifs, song edits, knitting, webweave, cosplay, whatever you like) based on the prompt. When it's complete, you mark off that square on your card. You can win either by getting 5 in a row, or by doing a card blackout and filling all 25 squares.

You can @theterrorwhumpathon if you'd like to have your works or completed bingo card reblogged.

Rules / FAQ / How do I get a personalized card?

[werewolfsone]

I have created something grave and terrible! Terror-themed whump bingo with no deadlines. And, you can get a personalized bingo card just for you. I'm making them on request and I'm happy to make you a card that avoids your personal triggers and squicks.

So if you're more into the angsty, emotional whump, you can absolutely still participate. Just request a card with those themes and I'll deliver it to your inbox.
