After 8 rounds, 2 adopt-a-prompt months, a throwback to the 90s, a drabble challenge, a gift exchange, and a pre-wedding event, Bade Prompts’ writing challenge says thank you and goodbye. Bade Prompts is, first and foremost, a writing challenge. This is why although the blog will remain open, there will no longer be any challenges or events like Save the Date or the Worldwide Day of Bade. When the writing challenge was introduced a few days before the premiere of The Worst Couple, it was in the hopes that Beck and Jade’s imminent break up would provide enough angst to fuel a handful of prompt fics. 22 episodes later, there is still no shortage in angst. Only now, Beck and Jade are back together (and are getting married soon), and “a handful of prompt fics” has turned into OVER 170 PROMPT FICS. That’s a lot of angst! Fortunately, there’s been a lot of fluff to set it off. Tori Fixes Beck and Jade happened after all. Of course, all that angst and all that fluff didn’t turn into fics by themselves. Neither the 170+ prompt fics nor any of the events would have been possible without the hard work (and often, stroke of genius) of the many people, from all over the world, who have been part of Bade Prompts.

Thank you, khay. Did you know you have written the most number of prompt fics in the (albeit short) history of Bade Prompts? With your high caliber narrative and spot on character descriptions, I’m sure no one’s complaining. To add to that, in my mind, Adopt-A-Prompt August was your event, seeing as most of the participants then were introduced to Bade Prompts by you.

Thank you, tsttoain. You have been there from the very beginning to the very end, and throughout, you have been very patient when I misspelled your name on banners, and somehow managed to delete your drabble while trying to ‘Like’ it. Also, despite you being on vacation during the pre-wedding event, did you realize that on Day 3 of 7 Days of Bade Drabbles, you have actually written perhaps the shortest proposal story? Thank you, greyrooms, boughtthedream, khay, tsttoain, readingrainbows, chasingafterstarlight, titlemcrazy, and jaj15889. Signing up is one thing, and writing a drabble or two is another. But actually completing all seven days? That’s on an entirely different level, and I admire you not only for keeping to schedule, but also for coming up with the shortest and sweetest pieces of work I have ever read. I have no shame in admitting 7 Days of Bade Drabbles is my favorite event, and I am glad I got to share all seven days with you. You lot will always be my favorite. Thank you, khay, smellslikecorruption, 1Styx and Stones1, greyrooms, lowlaury, chasingafterstarlight, boughtthedream, Masquerading with Shadows, lauren424, Shatteredsand, TheBansheeQueen, aloxi, ElisaCollette, even lovers drown, Caralynne, love in science, imlaughingnow. Save the Date: The Prequel to Every Wedding was the first event that was by invitation only, and having read your proposal fics, I can say with confidence that the right authors have been invited. It was a wonderful reading experience because for an entire week, the fandom was treated to one wonderful fic after another. It has left us spoiled, and the standard for prompt fics has definitely been raised. Thank you, AccioWazlib, klrob, altrutix, LizArianaJadeCat, tsttoain, lowlaury, OnlyHurtInside, ARandomYouth, LovingLizGillies, and santanaspierce. I hope you are as proud as I am seeing how far we’ve come. It would not have been possible without your decision to take a chance on a writing challenge that was then the farthest from tried and tested. Thank you, Victoriousjadefan, Andrea1301, OhSnapItzLara, coffee.and.scissors, XxLadyStrengthxX, puns and roses, superstar1030, AndKatnissRaisedHerBow, Born Into Flame, teddybaer, twenty four7bade, Bade87, DefenestrationDeathAngelDanny, AcrossTheRiverNotDown, dreamfightdo, madkin, and Fight4JadeWest. You have, on more than one occasion, participated in an event, and if Bade Prompts had a loyalty program, you probably would have earned a microwave oven or a duvet set at least. That aside, I hope you had a great time in each and every one of the events you have joined. Thank you, Suzy Bishop, Spirit-Animal-Jade, inplainsight131, MustacheMo, WZRDmeesh, LoriDeux, Luna Miste, SwaggianaPonytail, greenandred124, Tricia Belle, my calico, ParadiseJune, QueenofEmbers, KendreaincupcakesG, purplesweater08, cart00nheart, infinite infinities, xOfficiallyBade, AuntieTana, and startingtoforget. Although I wish you would have participated in more events, I am glad you’ve joined once, and I hope you enjoyed the experience. Thank you, DxCxS2, emerald.swan, stormclouds09, DesperateWhisper, Auden Grey, Kellouka2, LeleD2010, kalyn19, Blue Penguin Lightning, SouthernB3lle, always a sucker 4 romance, and DarkHeart89. The last time may have been your first time, but I hope you had fun keeping Beck in the dark (She didn't tell you, did she?) and/or keeping Jade in the dark (He didn't tell you, did he?). Thank you, BrokenHurtInside, and NewLollyVideos for the videos made for the gift exchange, and thank you, khay and madkin for pinch-hitting. Thank you, bademance and jesdegouw for hosting 7 Shades of Bade and The Silver Sixpence Challenge respectively. Fics are great and all, but what’s the fandom without nice and shiny things on Tumblr, right? Thank you, jesdegouw, daniellamonets, lzgillies, twistedgillies, janetsnakehole, bademance, and girlwithribbon-art. We can always count on you to make beautiful gifs, edits, and, in the case of the last two, even drawings. I hope everyone knows how blessed we are to have such talented and hard-working people in our fandom. Thank you to those behind the couple we have dedicated so much of our time thinking, writing, and ranting about: Dan Schneider, for introducing us to Beck Oliver and Jade West, and to the incredibly talented Avan Jogia and Liz Gillies, whose off-screen chemistry has lent itself well to their characters on-screen, and who have made Beck and Jade the farthest from a normal, easy, or boring couple. Finally, thank you to everyone who has ever read and reviewed a fic, liked or reblogged a post, or tweeted about the events. This experience has been nothing short of amazing, and, to quote Tori Vega, you’re the reason why. If you have ever participated in a Bade Prompts event before, you can probably guess how this message ends, but before that - thank you once again, keep on writing, keep on filling the tag with beautiful things, and maybe we'll see each other again in March 2014. It has been an honor running Bade Prompts’ writing challenge. Cheers, Cassandra’s Destiny

I think it'd be fun to have WWDoB and to give to day a positive feel! I think you should talk to BadePrompts and get a round if fanfiction going. I'd be interested in writing something :)

Awesome! (Cause you know, 6 months is a long time to be broken up. We'll all have feels all over the place.)

And sure, I'll talk to Cassandra, wherever the heck she may be. ;) I'm definitely interested in doing a fic too (even though I haven't done my LAST prompts fic but let's not talk about that)!
