Once more, for the second consecutive year, we invite you to join the celebrations this month of October with 31 days of Solas x Rook-inspired fiction, art, and any creative medium your heart desires, following the Dreadtober 2026 Prompt Lists.
This year, as you can see in the edit above, we have a very special treat for Dreadrook appreciators. We decided there was no better way to announce the return of our cherished festivity of debauchery than through the many Rooks who grace us with their presence on The Lighthouse server.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who lent us their beloved Rooks so that this creation could see the light of day! We promise they had A LOT of fun!
We wish you many inspired Dreadtober dreams, and as always, remember the regular guidelines: NSFW or not, mix and match the prompts, go wild, and let the Dreadwolf take you.
Prompts
Rules
1. This is an event meant to celebrate the Rook and Solas ship and the community behind it. Even though the main focus of the event are Rook and Solas, other Dreadrook adjacent ships like Solrooklassan, Solrookvellan, etc. are allowed. Show us your polycules! Other ships may be mentioned, but in respect of the spirit of the event, do not forget that Rook and Solas must be central to your work.
2. Pick your prompt(s)! There are two prompts, general or NSFW for each day of the month. You may select or combine if you so desire.
3. All works should be new or posted for the first time after the event begins.
4. We do not condone use of generative AI in any way, shape or form. We want to see your creativity!
5. Make a Dreadrook inspired creation based on your choice(s). All mediums - art, fic, vids, gifs, game photography, mood boards, collages, edits - are welcome. Create what you love to create! You may submit multiple works (ex: one for each day) or combine them as you see fit. In case of combining prompts from different days, pick one prompt day to post your work!
6. Post your creation on the corresponding day and use the following tags: #Dreadtober2026 & #TheLighthouseServer, and @thelighthouse-server in your creation!
7. All fanfiction should be added to event collection on AO3, which will be open for submissions starting on October 1 st.
8. You do not need to participate on each day. This is for fun, igniting creativity, and community. Post what you want, what you can and when you can. Late submissions will still be accepted and promoted. Enjoy yourselves and support others!
All content, including Dead Dove, is welcome provided that it is tagged appropriately.

one of the best parts of making up increasingly wild and specific aus with a friend is sending them posts like "this is sooo blorbo in torture chamber au number 15" and they reply back like "YESSS btw have i told you about my latest idea for how to torture them even more" and you get to enjoy a little snack and kick your feet with glee
