Princess Appreciation Week 2026!

Back again in late August (dates may be subject to change), another week for appreciating She Who Destroys via art, fanfic, cosplay, or any other idea that crosses your mind!

Rules:

Prompts are entirely optional and open to interpretation! Their purpose is to help inspire your work.

Tag your work with #princessappreciationweek and/or tag this account so we can share your stuff!

Tag content appropriately and use content warnings if needed.

Don’t stress over completing every prompt on time! This event is meant to be fun & the dates listed are not intended as hard deadlines.

Have fun & be supportive of others :]

Day 1: Favorite Scene/Favorite Quote

Day 2: Shipping (can be platonic or romantic shipping! or delivery fanart)

Day 3: A Princess you want to show more love (underappreciated Princess, your second or third favorite princess, or just someone who you want an excuse to think about some more!)

Day 4: Fashion/Shopping (fun outfits, redesigns, a shopping trip, or however this can be interpreted)

Day 5: Fan Princess/Fan Route (your own or fanart/fanfic of someone else's, as long as they are credited)

Day 6: An Ending (any way this prompt can be interpreted, maybe your favorite ending, or an alternate/original ending to various routes!) Day 7: Free Day - for any ideas you have, any alternate prompts you wanted to try out, or just a day off!

Here also are some alternate prompts if none of the above interest you:

Vacation

Seasons

Heart

Fusion

Princess Swap

Cut Content/Beta Content

At the risk of overwhelming with too many prompts, last year's prompts are also here for anyone who didn't get to do them or would like to do them again (ignore the dates lol):

[princessappreciationweek]

Hello! Thank you for hosting this event. Can I post a link to another site without pasting the fic itself onto Tumblr? (It's ao3 and it's to keep a workskin if that's information is necessary.)

Yep, that works fine! Plenty of authors last year posted their fics that way, so links are a good way to do things.

[princessappreciationweek]

Just asking out of curiosity, but are we also allowed to use the alternate prompts from the previous year if we're unsure of how to incorporate the others, or the prompt for that day? Or just generally want to do that one instead, because I'd really like to do the stargazing prompt and I wasn't a part of the fandom last time

Of course! There's no need to adhere to the prompts directly, or even to use the prompts at all if you're not interested! Use whatever prompts you feel like. In fact, the reason I included the prompts from last year on the main post was for exactly reasons like your own, in case there was someone who was interested in doing them but wasn't around last year.

[princessappreciationweek]

You're on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess.

You're here to appreciate her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

Both of our games are on sale for the next 2 weeks! 🗡️ Get Slay the Princess for under 10 bucks

🍂 Get Scarlet Hollow for under 20

Get 'em BOTH together for under 25! We're leaning towards raising the price of Scarlet Hollow to $29.99 after the Steam Summer Sale ends in July, so this will be one of your last opportunities to grab it at this price point ^^

We're launching a publisher to help support other indie developers, and we're starting with sunset visitor's second game!

Hey folks!

We're extremely excited to announce that we've started a publishing label, and that the first game we've signed is the sophomore title from our dear friends at 

sunset visitor 斜陽過客, who you might know from the Peabody-winning 1000xResist.

It's called Prove You're Human, and you can check out the trailer before heading over to Steam to give it a wishlist.

Beyond Prove You're Human, we've also signed a yet-to-be-announced title from SmallBu, the dual Emmy-winning animation studio behind Later Alligator and Baman Piderman. We can't wait to show you all what Lindsay and Alex have been cooking there!

For those of you might be nervous that launching a publishing label might slow down our work on internal projects like Scarlet Hollow, fear not! This work has been going on in the background for nearly a year now, so we can comfortably say that it's yet to have an impact on our development timelines.

If you'd like a more in-depth look at our thoughts on publishing, we've written up a post on Medium that you can check out here.

Thank you so much for your continued support! We never thought we'd be able to fund other small developers and help them bring their games to life, and it's all thanks to you!

All the best and there's always more to come, Tony and Abby

is it cheating to have one of the prompts be "your second or third favorite princess"

[tea-kettlezzz]

Slay the Princess is on sale for 45% off

Slay the Princess for only $9.89!!!!! Satisfactory!!!!

[princessappreciationweek]

happy valentimes to all, whether you are spending the day with loved ones or just waiting for all the chocolate to go on sale tomorrow (like yours truly). I am putting one of those heart-shaped lollipops in your mailbox (but not cinnamon hearts. Never cinnamon hearts).

Interest Check!

Hello Everyone :] I am making this post to see if there's enough interest for Princess Week 2026 (Dates TBD). Suggestions for both prompts and potential dates would also be appreciated! I am currently planning to hold the week sometime in late August, however that is very subject to change (I would like to place it at a less busy time of year, so that it does not interfere with artfight or either of the design tournaments happening in the fandom) I hope to see you all again this year 💖👑

Hello heroes, slayers and yearners! We are thrilled to announce that Slay the Princess has officially surpassed one million units sold. When we started work on this project, we couldn't imagine where it would wind up taking us. Visual novels are an often dismissed and looked down upon in our industry, and for ours to hit such a stunning sales milestone backed up by critical and audience acclaim is something that we previous thought to be impossible. And yet, here we are. We couldn't have done this without you. Your support has permanently altered the course of our lives for the better, and it's put us in a position where we can make bold choices doing what we love for as long we'd like. It's a rare opportunity that we don't take lightly, and one we seek to honor by dedicating our lives to making the best works we possibly can. We hope all of you stay with us for the rest of our creative journey. Next stop: the penultimate chapter of Scarlet Hollow, releasing in 11 days. If you have yet to pick up the game, the first chapter is free on Steam as a demo, and your saves carry over into the paid release. While we're here, we also want to tease one of many upcoming pieces of merch we have in the works with Fangamer, coming late Sprint/early Summer.

So keep your eyes peeled!

All the best, and thank you again for sharing in such an important part of our lives. Tony and Abby

Hi)) Planning to join this year, but why the dates? Is it symbolic? Also, what was with the Christmas challenge? Feels like been missing a lot tbh😅

Hi there! If you're referring to the dates in the current pinned post, those are actually from last year! Though I am planning to hold the event this year, I haven't decided on the dates yet (I'm hoping to set it at a less busy time during the summer, as last year's event was quite close to art fight and the sexyman tournament). Apologies for my confusion, but I'm not quite sure what you're referring to wrt the "Christmas Challenge" - there was one christmas-themed post I reblogged for fun, and some posts promoting the secret slayer event (which was run by a different blog, that you can find here). This blog specifically hasn't run any events since Princess week! Sorry about any confusion, and I hope this helps! Feel free to send follow-up questions if you have any, and I'm excited to see you there for the week!

Whatever horrors you may find in these dark spaces, have heart and see them through. There are no premature endings. There are no wrong decisions. There are only fresh perspectives and new beginnings. This is a love story.

SLAY THE PRINCESS is 40% off on Steam, the cheapest it's even been.
