Welcome! Welcome to the THIRD year of Cal Kestis Week!
I present: the PROMPTS! for 2026!!
This year's event will run from
June 21st 2026 through June 27th 2026
General Overview of the Rules
No AI generated text or images will be promoted during this event.
All ships, genres, ratings, and formats are welcome just as long as they’re Cal-centric!
Any previews of art, fic, or other media will only be reblogged if they are SFW.
All works should be tagged with the appropriate ships and warnings.
If you are posting fanfiction on tumblr, please try to keep any words beyond the first 500 under “read more."
Works posted on tumblr will only be found/reblogged if they use the tag #calkestisweek2026 (and it's variations).
