Mark your calendars for Dragon Age Kinkmeme Challenge 2026!
Posting now for early notice so anyone who would like to participate again (or for the first time) can have plenty of time to plan ahead with all the various fan events happening concurrently!
What is it?
A Dragon Age prompt-filling challenge with a 30-day creation period! The goal and spirit of the challenge is to find a prompt that hasn't yet been filled, and create something for it! Many prompts have gone unfilled for years, even over a decade!
When is it?
April 15th 2026 - May 15th 2026
Who is it for?
Anyone and everyone who would like to create art of a written work to fill a prompt on the board regardless if it is NSFW or SFW in nature.
The Particulars:
Select any unfilled prompt from the DA Kinkmeme (any board, any game, any pairing) that you'd like to fill. All ships, kinks, etc, are welcome so long as they are properly tagged.
Wait, what's a Kinkmeme and what do you mean prompt? Board?
A kinkmeme is an anonymous online forum where people posted requests or prompts for (usually, but not always) sexually explicit fanfiction or fanart, and other fans anonymously create works, known as "fills," in response. They were popular in the LiveJournal days, though have fallen somewhat out of practice. The Dragon Age Board is no longer maintained, but has THOUSANDS of prompts within it that you can still read and enjoy. Here's what the boards look like!
You can click in do different boards within each game linked there. Prompts on the boards will look something like this (example, this prompt below is from Part 15 of the Dragon Age: Inquisition Boards):
Many prompts were never responded to, or had a work created (a fill), but some have been. A fill might look like this, with multiple responses making up a written work:
Troll through the boards, perhaps find some stories you've never read or seen before, have a good time, and then find an unfilled prompt you like... and create!
Your prompt does NOT need to be NSFW. SFW prompts are enthusiasically welcomed and encouraged, and there are many SFW prompts on the boards to choose from.
Draw or write a fill of any length from 15Apr2026-15May2026
Post on AO3 to the Dragon Age Kinkmeme Challenge 2026 Collection and use the hashtag #DragonAgeKinkmemeChallenge2026 anytime 16May2026-23May2026. Submissions to the collection will be CLOSED after the 23rd.
Be sure to include the link to your chosen prompt in your author note! Who knows, maybe the OP will find it one day and wouldn't that be nice?
Everyone reads and comments and claps each other on the back for doing hot people shit
Works shared on tumblr that tag @dakinkmemchallenge and use the hashtag will be reblogged and shared!
You can read last year's prompt fills here on AO3!
I'll be posting another reminder or so as we get closer - looking forward to what everyone makes and until then, I hope everyone has a good time re-discovering the boards!
We hope you join us in April! And for anyone that doesn't want to create... why not make a request on the boards now so that someone might pick it come April? 👀
