SCHEDULE OF THE WEEK:
Admins’ Note: Feel free to take these prompts and run with it - write a fanfic, create a gifset or a moodboard, draw fanart, create a playlist - the only limit is your imagination!
J'étais le Secret Santa de @hylaiae et voici mon cadeau 🎁
Tu m'as parlé des AUs qui tu aimes et j'ai eu des étoiles dans les yeux quand tu as évoqué Louis XIV et la Préciosité parce que la mode du 17eme est juste sublime. Donc je suis parti sur ça, j'espère que ça t'a plus.
Celebrate the works and world of Jane Austen! @firawren is hosting a Jane Austen fandom and Regency AU fanwork event throughout the entire month of January. Save the date and start drafting your creations!
Anyone can join, and all types of fandom works are welcome: fanfic, fanart, gifs, manips, memes, fanvids, podfic, mood boards, etc.
Each day has a new prompt to inspire your creation:
(Text version of prompts under the “keep reading” link below)
15 of these prompts are new for 2026, while 16 of the most popular prompts from 2025 have been retained for this year.
Please interpret the prompts in whatever way inspires you! For instance, for the “Court” prompt, it could mean courtship, a court of law, the king’s court, a basketball court, etc. It’s up to you!
You are NOT expected to do something every day! Just 1 work for 1 day of your choosing is enough, though you are welcome to do more if you like. And you are NOT expected to create your fanwork on that day, just post it on that day.
Your work must follow one of the daily prompts, be new for the event, not use AI, and include at least one of the following:
Character from one of Jane Austen’s works
Character from any Jane Austen adaptation (including modern retellings)
Jane Austen herself
Setting in a Jane Austen-like AU
For example, any of these would be fine:
Darcy and you the reader live in the Star Wars universe [character from Jane’s works]
Cher from Clueless marries Snow White [character from Jane adaptation]
Jane Austen is, inexplicably, on the TV show Friends [Jane herself]
Han Solo and Princess Leia live in Regency England [setting in Jane AU]
Darcy and Cher fight monsters in a fantasy land with Regency-like manners, dress, and speech [all three: Jane character, Jane adaptation character, Jane setting!]
Completely canon-compliant works are of course also allowed!
Read the full rules and FAQ for the event. If you still have any questions, feel free to send an ask or DM.
Please reblog this post to spread the word, and follow this blog to see all the works that are posted!
Alors que décembre se profile, un secret santa se glisse dans ta cheminée sous le couvert de l'anonymat pour te demander... ça biche ?
Mais également si tu préfèrerais un cadeau mignon, plein de papillons veloutés, ou bien un cadeau rigolo, piquant et virevoltant, ou bien un cadeau plein d'angst qui fera pleurer dans les chaumières ?
Si jamais, j'ai déjà une petite idée...
Coucou Santa, super contente de te rencontrer, merci pour ce message ❤
Un cadeau rigolo, piquant (I love 🌶🌶🌶🔥!) et virevoltant si possible s'il te plait 😁
Très curieuse de ce que tu me prépares et de qui tu es (mais étant une quiche aux jeux d'énigmes, pas trop de soucis à se faire de ce côté-là...)
