☾ MOTORSPORT HALLOWEEN FEST RETURNS ☽
☠ AO3 COLLECTION ☠ JOIN THE DISCORD ☠ LAST YEAR'S FIC ☠
⇩ INFO & FAQ ⇩
What kind of creative/artistic works are allowed?
Any and all! Fic, art, zines, moodboards, gifs, edits, playlists, meta — if it’s motorsport RPF and Halloween-themed, it’s welcome!
What counts as motorsport?
If one of your main characters can be tagged under a motorsport fandom (e.g. any of the Formulas, IndyCar, MotoGP, etc.), you’re good!
What counts as Halloween-related?
Halloween-related can mean full-blown horror (serial killer in the paddock!), spooky (haunted car?), or, if that’s not your vibe, about Halloween more generally (Halloween is the one day a year when a driver can dress up like a total slut 😏). We’re happy to have you whether you turn your favorite driver into a friendly ghost or put them in a Saw trap.
Please just be sure to warn/tag your work appropriately, and please archive lock your fic if you're posting to Ao3!
Do I have to post to Ao3?
No! If you’d prefer, you can also post on tumblr. Just be sure to tag us @motorsport-halloween so we don’t miss it!
How do prompts work?
Anyone can leave a prompt on Ao3, but you don’t have to claim a prompt to participate — you can do your own thing and then post to the Ao3 collection or to tumblr when it’s time!
When is my fic/art/other work due?
Sign-ups and prompting will open August 15! Completed works will be posted October 15-31 — the mods will reach out to participants at the beginning of October to schedule posting, so that we can have two full Halloweeks of fun!
How do I post to the collection?
Instructions are here!
Can I invite my friend / mutual / discord server to participate?
Please feel free to invite anyone in the motorsport RPF fandom (as long as they are 18+!)
What if I realize I can’t finish/need more time?
That’s fine! No worries if you need to drop out or need an extension.
What if I’m still confused?
Send us an ask on tumblr @motorsport-halloween or DM one of the mods, @powerful-owl @racecrafting or @officialmood!
OTHER TIPS
The @motorsport-halloween tumblr will be posting prompts and Halloween vibes for inspiration! We won’t be posting anything wildly disturbing, but we will use the following tags to be on the safe side: tw: blood tw: body horror tw: trypophobia
If there’s something else you’d like us to tag (within reason) please send us an ask or DM one of the mods! We want everyone to be able to participate, no matter your comfort level with the more horror-y aspects of Halloween!

If you’re posting to Ao3, make sure you change the date from the date of your draft to the date of publishing!
