I truly appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked through the logistics and fine-tuned the prompts… and now, without further ado...
Kloktober is almost upon us!
What is Kloktober?
First and foremost, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to @lampmeeting for their unwavering dedication and incredible service to the fandom over the past five years. Their work has helped make Kloktober what it is today, and it’s truly an honor to be taking the reins and carrying this amazing tradition forward!
Now, onto the fun stuff: Kloktober is an electrifying, zazz-tastic event that takes place throughout October, where we come together to celebrate all things Metalocalypse. Every day of the month has a unique prompt that you can interpret however you’d like! Whether it’s drawing, writing, cosplay, memes... anything goes! There’s no limit to how you can participate, so feel free to get as creative as you want.
How do I participate?
Simply create your totally brutal masterpiece inspired by the day’s prompt and post it using the hashtag #kloktober2025. That’s it! Share your creations wherever you normally post your work: Tumblr, Twitter, AO3, Instagram, or any other platform. The more, the merrier!
But am I allowed to—
YUP! ANYTHING GOES! There are no wrong answers in Kloktober. You can interpret the prompts however you like, and even if you only do one day (or none at all!) that’s totally fine too. No pressure! This is all about fun and celebrating our love for Metalocalypse. So don’t worry about burnout, just do what feels right! NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO CHICKEN OUT! NOW'S THE TIME TO SHINE!
What if I don’t vibe with a prompt?
No worries at all! If there’s a prompt that doesn’t quite click with you, feel free to dig through past years’ prompts (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, or 2020) and choose one that speaks to you. And if you have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here for it!
