Raise Some Hell Fest 2026
After we got some great fics, webweaves & art (digital AND physical!) last year, we thought we'd give running this fest for another year a go! Last year felt a little tight, so this year fics/art/etc won't be due until the beginning of the regular season in September (& because we all need something to occupy our off season;)!)
As with last year, the work you submit can be absolutely anything, as long as it's Devils centric and original. The idea is for this to be a fun, stress free fest to encourage content and community in our little corner of fandom 🏒 Whether you're an experienced fandom creator or you just want to dip your toe into writing, video editing, art, web weaves etc, this is the fest for you! No theme means you can create whatever you like and there's no minimum/maximum needed for words or time spent creating.
