Schlocktober is a month-long writing and drawing event. It was established in 2025 as a response to a kink-free Kinktober calendar that became infamous for having way too many rules.
Its unconventional prompts and loose standards encourage creative freedom and reject morality policing in fandom spaces.
Who's running this thing?

Why "schlock"?
It means trash/junk (affectionate), and that's the quality of content I'm striving for with these prompts. It's also fun to say.
But, y'know, if you want to take a prompt and turn it into a masterpiece of a whumpy longfic, go for it. That's creative freedom, baby.
What fandom is this for?
Schlocktober is fandom and ship neutral. At the time of posting, there are 218 different fandoms represented in previous works.
What if I want to combine prompts? What if I want to write or draw things out of order? What if I want to make a video? What if...
Go for it. Get weird. Do an interpretive dance. Mix in last year's prompts if you want to. Let the spirit of schlock move you.
What does [prompt] mean?
You tell me. It's all open to interpretation.
Is RPF okay?
Yes, so long as it's clearly fiction. See rule #3 below.
There are rules?
Just three.
No AI use.
Having the plagiarism machine do your work for you is the opposite of creative. A typo-riddled mess is better than AI-written fanfiction. A stick figure drawn on the back of a napkin is better than soulless AI slop art. Believe in your own ability to produce trashy works.
Tag appropriately.
'Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings' means anything goes. 'No Archive Warnings Apply' means your work is guaranteed not to contain any of the major archive warnings (non-con, major character death, graphic violence, or underage sex).
No irl bigotry or crimes.
Your characters can be as problematic as you'd like, but if you try to post a weird pro-JK Rowling essay or threatening manifesto or something you're not going in the collection. Don't kill the vibes.
Anything else I need to know?
Only the most important thing of all: Have fun.
But someone else is having fun wrong!
Shut the fuck up.
How do I participate?
There's an ao3 collection right here:
Schlocktober on ao3
Otherwise, just tag #schlocktober here or on Bluesky. DMs are open if you tag something and I miss it (I promise it's not intentional).
Will the collection stay open after October?
The collection is open 24/7/365, but you may not get approved as quickly in the off-season as mods don't check often.
I can't read your graphic!

I'm genuinely sorry to the few people who were following this fic, but I'm abandoning it and won't be posting any more longfics in this fandom. It's just not fun for me anymore, and without fun there isn't any point.
I appreciate the support I've received, but longfics take too much out of me. I'll focus on silly one-shots from now on while I work on other projects.
Daddy Dom Gale – Gale is literally Astarion's father and dominates him in what should have been a friendly game of Candy Land.
Astarion in a Dress – Like Nicholas Cage stealing the Declaration of Independence, Astarion steals a First Lady's inaugural dress from the Smithsonian.
Vampire Spawn Gale – After refusing to be turned into a vampire spawn by Astarion, Gale shows up at Astarion's palace years later... having been turned by someone else.
Pregnant Astarion – Astarion is a seahorse. Nuff said.
Therapist Gale – Put a space between the e and r in the word "Therapist" and go extremely dark.
Sex-Crazed Astarion – Astarion runs one of those booktok accounts where they only read books they can goon to. Gale keeps trying to get him to read his opus.
That One AU You Despise – Scientology AU. One of these fellas has a thetan count that's off the charts!
hi!!! I just wanted to say I’ve enjoyed your bloodweave writings for forever and I just finished wicked wizards and profound words this morning. that was one of the best things I’ve ever read.
also sorry if this is too much information lolol but after just getting out of school, where reading is /required/ I completely forgot that it’s supposed to be fun. im so thankful to the bg3 fandom for getting me back into reading, like the little bookaholic I was in elementary school. I forgot how much I missed it. anyways, I hope you’re having a lovely day. thanku very much
Thank you so much! That was actually the first BG3 fic I wrote and I know I'd do a lot differently if I were writing it now, but it still holds a special place in my heart.
Reading should be fun so I'm glad you found that again. Keep on keeping on. <3
Twink Astarion / Daddy Dom Gale.
Astarion starts out game-sized and aged. Each time Gale doms him in bed, he becomes more and more twinkish, growing younger and thinner like a gay Benjamin Button.
Astarion in a Dress / Gale in Distress.
Gale and Astarion wear the exact same dress to an event. Astarion looks way better in it, so Gale tries to sabotage him by spilling drinks, tripping him, etc. Back and forth hijinks ensue.
Soft Vampire Ascendant Astarion / Vampire Spawn Gale.
Fed up with his lover/master, Vampire Spawn Gale traps Astarion in a vat of liquid until his body dilutes into a soft goop.
Pregnant Astarion / BJ Queen Gale.
After his 17th abortion goes awry, Astarion resolves only to do mouth stuff. That's just fine with Gale, but somehow in the course of giving Astarion a blowjob he manages to get him pregnant again.
Babyfied Astarion / Therapist Gale.
Gale, a Pediatric Therapist, is perplexed when grown adult Astarion shows up for a session. Not knowing what else to do, Gale hands him a coloring book and tries his usual tactics to get Astarion to open up.
Sex-Crazed Astarion / Virgin Gale.
Astarion is going for the world record for most elven orgasms in a 24-hour period. He's aiming to nut inside hundreds of recipients. Gale, having had no luck in romance, responds to the ad.
Self-Inserts.
Trying to keep a fandom alive, Gale creates a silly writing event. Astarion misinterprets his intentions and trolls him relentlessly.
