A helpful graphic for those who want information at a glance! Thanks again to @ghost-hoots for helping me to fumble through making images for this event. I appreciate you!
The time for Sneak Peek approaches! We’d love to see your progress on sketches, snippets of your art, summaries or a few lines of your fic, or whatever you’re working on! You can make your own posts to your blog and @kyoshi-week to be added to the queue. You can also submit teases directly to the blog via "Submit a Post". You may also use #KE26SneakPeek.
Sneak Peeks will begin on July 25th!
Make sure to take a moment to let participants know that you're looking forward to their work!
We had to fish this man out of the dumpster to make this message. Might be why he looks so grumpy?
Keep an eye out for announcements, as the event blog will begin accepting Sneak Peeks sometime next week! We'd love to see your progress on sketches or summaries, teases, or whatever you're working on!
August 2026 is AU-gust here at the Prompt Foundry!
Alternate Universe takes on our favorite stories—be they shows or books we love, or tales of our creation—can be a delightfully fun way to explore what makes those stories tick, what makes those characters who they are, and what in them is important to why we enjoy them.
On the other side of the coin, some settings and scenerios are popular for AUs because there's something special about that environment or situation that really tickles our brains, and it can be fun to figure out how to fit different characters and their contexts into that world.
So let's run through the multiverse and play with some AUs!
Feel free to combine different days’ prompts with each other, or combine them with other events, like last year's March of the Blorbos! Draw, paint, sculpt, sing, write fiction, write poetry, write academic analysis—use your OCs, your favorite characters from media, your own experiences, whatever tickles your fancy.
If you use this list, please tag me here @thepromptfoundry, I’d love to see what you create!
Respond to as many prompts as you want or as interest you, don’t worry about missing or skipping any, or posting your work after the day the prompt is assigned to. Remember, this is supposed to be fun!
If you have any questions or musings, check our FAQ, and if you don’t find your answer, shoot me an ask.

If you plan on participating, now is a great time to get started! In about 2 weeks we will be accepting submissions for the event Sneak Peek. You can share your WIPs, such as a cheeky crop of artwork, or a few lines of writing. For those sharing headcanons, maybe pose a question to the community itself?
It's time to start ramping up! Reblogs are appreciated during this time. (Thanks!)
i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.
shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3
The date is set, prompts have been selected, and preparations are complete! The only thing to do now is... Create! And get hype! Have fun, everybody~

Event Rules and Guidelines:
1. Create some fanwork based on the prompts. The prompts are meant to inspire, not limit, so feel free to combine them as you choose or post your work on the concluding Free Day if none of the prompts speak to you. Fanart, fanfiction, gifsets, headcanons, analysis/meta, memes, playlists, etc. are all welcome. As long as it's your own work, feel free to submit whatever you'd like!
2. Post and share your work on the designated prompt day. Be sure to use the #korrasamiweek2026 tag or mention @korrasamiweek2026 in your post, or submit the post directly to the blog. You can also add any works posted on ao3 to the collection here.
3. Engage with other people's work! Reblogs, comments, and likes are always appreciated.
4. Fanwork must be Korrasami-focused. Other characters and pairings are more than welcome, but the work should be centered around Korra and Asami.
5. Fanwork must be your own. Reposts of another creator's work and AI-generated content will not be accepted.
6. This is an 18+ event, as we will be accepting explicit works. Please follow Tumblr’s Community Guidelines regarding such works. Explicit content of adult characters is perfectly fine, as long as it follows tumblr’s rules. If you're unsure or just want to be cautious, feel free to link to an outside source. If you post explicit writing, please either link to ao3 or put the explicit parts under a cut/read more.
7. Tag your work with the appropriate content warnings. This helps fellow participants and the wider fandom community filter out content that may be upsetting or triggering. Use your best judgement, and when in doubt I'd recommend erring on the side of caution.
8. No bigotry of any kind. This includes (but is not limited to) misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, whitewashing, etc. Your work can depict or explore those themes but shouldn't endorse them, and it must be be tagged/labeled with the appropriate warnings.
9. When submitting visual or audio media, please consider including a description either in ALT text or in the body of the post itself.
10. Be kind!! No criticism—constructive or otherwise—unless the creator explicitly requests it. If something isn't to your tastes, just keep scrolling. If you are concerned about someone’s content breaking the rules, please message me here @korrasamiweek2026 or @korrasamibottles rather than engaging with the creator directly.
11. Have fun! This year's event will be moderated by @korrasamibottles with help from @sweetorangepoptart . Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. :)
There has been an influx of new followers in the recent week, pushing the blog's follower count over 300! Thanks for joining us! Glad to have you. ☺️ 🎇🎆
In order to make sure less active Tumblr users see the event information, info post(s) will be reblogged on a daily basis. Please pardon the repetition in advance.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! It helps me to flesh out the FAQ, which is now permanently linked on the main page.
With all that being said, welcome to the squad, Warriors!

Don't see your favorite prompt on the list? Don't worry! You can still submit work for whatever your heart desires as the "Wildcard" on Sunday! This means any prompts that didn't make it through, or something completely different!
Now to confess my sins... I realized very late that Daofei was NOT on the voting form. To make up for it, Daofei will be one of the original 7 selected prompts for the next Kyoshi era event. Sorry everyone! Thanks for being understanding!
Go forth! Create, or get hype! August will be here in no time!
A fandom event inviting writers, artists, and other creatives to make fanworks for the Avatar Kyoshi novels based on prompts selected by the community. All works will be accepted, as long as they adhere to the rules. This means one-shots, multi-chapter fics, drabbles, artwork, video shorts, headcanons, meta-analysis, cosplay, mood boards, music, etc!
How does it work?
Participants will work on their pieces leading up to the event and post during the Kyoshi Era Week (August 24th-30th). There are no obligations, submit however little or as much as you want! Ideally, participants would post pieces on the day of the associated prompt (ex. a piece inspired by the "Sun and Moon" prompt would be posted on Monday). It should be noted that pieces will be accepted late, so don't stress! This isn't school, it's a party! Try to have fun!
Reblogs and links to these pieces will be gathered here on Kyoshi-week!
Maybe I make a piece, how do I submit it?
The tag for all platforms (Tumblr, Ao3, Bsky, Twitter, Tiktok) will be #KyoshiEra26. Here on tumblr, PLEASE @kyoshi-week to help me find your pieces. For other platforms, please send links to your work. I will also be keeping an eye out on other platforms.
If you are a registered user submitting written work through Ao3, a collection has been created (Kyoshi_Era_Week_2026). You can also post written works on tumblr, but please remember to a) tag appropriately and b) use the "Read More." No longposts will be reblogged.
More questions below the cut!
Can my OCs be featured/included in my piece?
Yep! As long as at least one character from the Kyoshi novels is also featured, works with OCs are welcome.
I'm not creative! Do I have a role in this?
You are now a hype man. You are a cheerleader. You are a wellspring of support and positivity and understanding. If anyone is saying they're working on something, be enthusiastic with them. When the pieces are posted, take two seconds to comment something nice.
Is it okay to submit pieces with Kuruk?
Yes! He's welcome to the party too.
I welcome additional questions! Please don't be scared to reach out. I'm happy to help.
