*Here, the "/" indicates the separation between two characters' dialogue.

There will be three aspects to this event:

The main part is the prompt challenge, where you create a fanwork for a day. You can use one, two, or three of a day's prompts—it's up to you! If you don't like any of the given prompts for a day, you can substitute one of the Substitute Prompts. In general, you can interpret each prompt however loosely you want, and for quote prompts, you definitely don't have to use the exact quote. If you want make something for Jason Todd Week that doesn't fit any of the prompts, don't panic! You can use the "FREE PROMPT" on the final day to post any Jason Todd work you want. Each prompt also has a song corresponding to it in the playlist. There is also a playlist guide so that you can know what songs there are if you don't use Spotify or YouTube.

The secondary aspect is another opportunity to participate if you don't feel comfortable creating art, writing, or other media. Each day of the week, there will be a be an open-ended question about your opinions/ideas related to Jason Todd that you can respond to. For example, "What is your favorite Jason Todd headcanon?"

Finally, based on the results of the poll on the suggestion form, each day there will be a (completely optional!) commenting scavenger hunt to encourage interaction and finding new people/fanworks. See this post for more details!

If you post on Tumblr, you can use the tag #jasontoddweek2026 or @ this blog (@jason-todd-week). There's also an AO3 collection (JasonToddWeek2026).

For your filtering, this blog will tag reblogs with #reblogs, the day, the prompt(s), media type, any non-Jason characters, any romantic or sexual ships (with full character name/full character name as well as ship name if I know it), and any warnings. Anything explicit will be tagged #explicit. Example: #reblogs #day 6 #scars #enemy to caretaker #fic #tim drake #gun violence. Please filter out tags you don’t want to see.

Because I am not able to read/see every work posted (due to time constraints and personal boundaries), some warnings or characters may be untagged if they are not in the original post’s tags.

Feel free to join the Discord!

Jason Todd Week Scavenger Hunt

Based on the results of the poll in the suggestion form, there will be an additional (completely optional) challenge for Jason Todd Week, in the form of a comment-based scavenger hunt! This challenge exists to find new fanworks/writers/artists, encourage interaction within the fandom, and have fun.

For this scavenger hunt, you'll find and comment on seven Jason-centric fanworks that fulfill some sort of characteristics, to be revealed on each day of the week. For example, one day's challenge might be, "Comment on a humor or fluff Jason-centric fanwork." You can use any platform you want (Tumblr, AO3, FF.net), so what commenting will look like is going to depend on the platform. There's no minimum word length--just be kind and polite! At the end of the event, there will be a form where you can submit the works you found to make one big rec list.

This challenge is completely optional, and you do not have to participate to participate in other parts of the event! Likewise, even if you don't create any fanworks, you can still do the scavenger hunt.

Responses to comments from the Suggestions Form:

I hope that every prompt would at least have one gen suggestion since I'm (sadly) not a romance writer 😔

There may be some prompts that are romance-oriented if they’re selected through prompt voting, but most prompts will be gen (not romantic in nature) and there will absolutely be at least one gen prompt per day (almost definitely two, and I think it's likely that all three prompts for most days will be gen). In the past, all prompts have been gen/at least have gen interpretations. I personally want to keep it that way, because this was the initial point if the event, but in the interest of democracy and because voting already doesn’t have 100% control over the prompts, there are some non-gen prompts in the prompt voting.

Will the Playlist be Spotify exclusive or will there be a YouTube version as well?

In the past I’ve done Spotify and a playlist guide so others could replicate it in a music platform of their choice. I’ll try to do YouTube this year too, since I actually have time for once!

Idk how doable this is, but a wrap up at the end of the event would be cool - # of works with the event tag, # of words written, # of responses to event daily questions/challenges. That type of stuff is always fun!

I love stats! If I have the spoons, I’ll do this.

very tired of jason lives aus having tim be the one the fic's really about/take over the fic (and i'm not the only one) so i would mandate the exclusion of tim from that trope if at all possible

I understand that you're frustrated by Tim's prevalence in these fics, but the point of this event is to encourage and inspire people to write what they want to write. I am very wary of adding restrictions to this event or the prompts, because I want it to appeal to as many people as possible. When phrasing prompts/choosing prompts, I also try to make the prompts as open as possible, so that people have a lot of options. So, I think adding a restriction like that would be against the spirit of this event.

Thank you to everyone who filled out the form! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
