Congrats on your third week's work to everyone who participated!
Our third prompt was all things gender. If you have fic or art to share, come by the server!
Our last week is a free-for-all, which concludes our prompt event on May 31st! If you finish after the end of May, we still want to hear about it. If you want to talk about what you've written, or post your fics to our collection, come join Haven for company and cheerleading!
For a little more about the prompt fest, see this post, which also has entries from last year.
Our first week's prompt is external due* May 10th! For this prompt, think about, well... all things external! Think oral, grinding, vibrators, and literally anywhere else this prompt takes you (a nice impact scene, perhaps). As always, trans rep is encouraged.
We'll be back next week with our second prompt!

Like rare pair events that ask people to focus on less-popular pairings, this event centers on less-popular bodies. We embrace the idea that pussy, in all its forms, genders, and interpretations, is fuckin' fantastic. This month, we envision a universe where something other than cis-man dick in cis-man butthole is the predominant smut on ao3. This event should be a celebration and a silly, fun, all-around-good time.
We'll be starting on May 3rd with fics for each prompt rounded up every Saturday!
Prompts ("due" dates)
May 10: External: Oral, vibrators, grinding, etc
April 17: Internal: Penetration/strap-ons, toys, fingering, etc
May 24: All Things Gender: The gender spectacular, etc
May 31: Free for All: Got something on your mind? Get it off here!
18+ only. Trans rep encouraged. All fandoms welcome.
Join us on Haven for company and cheerleading!

The Critical Role Aspec Fest is a month-long fanwork fest (with a prompt for each week) celebrating aromantic-spectrum and asexual-spectrum experiences!
WEEK 4 (Feb 22nd-28th): Free week! Whatever your heart desires.
FAQs
(if something isn't answered here, please feel free to send an ask or message!)
Can I make something about a character being demisexual or demiromantic or (insert other label)? Can I make something about a character who's straight?
Absolutely - please do! Aspec is a very broad umbrella term, and this event is all about celebrating a variety of experiences that aren't well-represented in media. If it feels right to you, go for it. I'm not going to exclude any works from the fest just because they aren't relatable to me.
What types of fanworks can I make for the fest?
Anything! Be that fanfiction, fanart, meta, gifsets, edits etc. - everything is welcome! If you're writing fanfiction, you're encouraged to post to the AO3 collection here.
Which Critical Role characters can I make fanworks about?
Anyone in anything they've streamed - so the main campaigns, EXUs, Candela Obscura, Daggerheart or other oneshots!
Do I need to be aspec to join?
Definitely not, as long as you're coming in with the mindset of being respectful of our experiences. For one, I'm aromantic but not ace-spec - so making works about ace-spec experiences is naturally going to be more difficult for me, but entirely doable with a little bit of research! I think it's a great way to learn about others.
Why February? Why a whole month?
Yes, there are plenty of aspec weeks hosted in other fandoms, which are great and the inspiration for this event! But personally, I am both slow and busy, so making just one thing per week is much more achievable for me. I chose February because Aromantic Awareness Week is the week after Valentine's day, and this fest was originally going to take place during that time. I'm also unaware of any other fandom events happening in February (although please let me know otherwise, just for my own interest!). The fact that February splits so nicely into 4 whole weeks is an added bonus!
Would you like people to share around the existence of this fest?
(Okay, maybe this one's a bit of a cheat.) Yes please! Even if you don't plan on taking part, getting eyes on the existence of this event would be wonderful. This is the first fandom event I've ever hosted, and I don't have a huge platform among fic writers, who are likely the largest contingent of nerds (lovingly) who'd be interested in taking part in an event like this.
Other Rules
Please don't bash any ships or headcanons you don't like! Part of the fun of fandom is seeing the broad range of possible interpretations, and I'd always rather foster a sense of community rather than opposition.
Suggestive, NSFW and whump content is fully allowed, but must be tagged correctly for whatever platform you're posting on.
Fanworks should be focused on aspec experiences or characters, but other topics or characters can totally be included, and these experiences don't have to be super clear or well-labelled in-text (gods know that real-life experiences are often opaque and confusing) - it's your intention that matters. This is up to your discretion, really. As with the rule of thumb for AO3 tagging - if someone was viewing this for aspec content, would they be disappointed? If so, you can always rework it, or post it outside of this fest.
This account will be reblogging every fanwork made for the fest - just remember to tag us, and use the #CRAspecFest tag! If you don't have a tumblr account and want a post about your work to be included, send a message.
There'll be more posts on this account with ideas for how to approach the prompts, plus reminders at the start of each week, tagged #CRAspecFestPosts. All submission reblogs will be tagged #CRAspecFestWorks.

Astarion has a plan for his safety— a nice, simple plan— and if Ria has an idea of what he's doing, that's fine, as long as she's willing to play along. But honesty has a way of creeping in, and when he invites her back to the clearing after the Tieflings have left their camp, he finds that his performance insists on drifting too close to reality.
It's a shame that he likes her so much.

natural as another leg around you in the bed frame
E. English. Chapter 1 of 2. 9,607 words.
When Wyll accompanies Karlach to Avernus, they find themselves with the time and space to start a relationship between fighting for their lives. Without his pact magic and with a lifetime of lessons on what a proper young man should do, Wyll finds himself struggling to balance what he wants with the woman he loves with the expectations he has not quite been able to shed.
The work is complete, and chapter 2 will be posted on April 13th.
Thank you to @notaficwriter and @vamppeach for beta-reading!
The author has been outfitted with an infernal engine that churns endlessly, converting comments into motivation. Emojis count!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
