Edit: WE MOVED OVER TO @lestappen-inchident-fest SINCE THIS BLOG WAS DEACTIVATED BY TUMBLR
WE! WANT! YOU! FOR THE LESTAPPEN INCHIDENT FEST 2026!
are you sick of the ai fics in our tags on ao3? do you miss the amount of fanfic created between 2021 and 2023? do you crave a specific prompt that nobody has written yet?
fear not, for here is our official lestappen prompt fic fest 2026!
key dates: prompting is open now, fics need to be submitted by September 30th and will be revealed on October 8th - right between Max's and Charles' birthdays!
this is a prompt based fic fest - prompts will be randomly chosen by authors
all prompts/prompt fills should center around lestappen - everything is fine as long as they are the main ship
all other drivers and background ships are welcome, but the main focus is max and charles!
AI generated fics are NOT allowed!
all media (fics, art, etc.) is permittedworks will be shared ONLY on tumblr/ao3! (since this is focused on lestappen and not necessarily on just one half of the pair, fanart may not be driver-centric, so we hope you understand the reticence for other platforms to be involved)
(minimum word count for fics should be 1.500 words)
multi-chapter fics are allowed as long as you have the first chapter ready for the posting date on october 8th
who can participate: anyone can prompt and write for the fest!
have fun! this is a casual, fun event that isn't meant to stress you out.
prompting and sign-up is open now on ao3
important reminder: if you post the fic early to the collection, you will have to change the posting date once the collection goes live. we will send out reminders when the fics are uploaded.
