Hey everyone, a quick note from me.

You might have noticed things have been a bit quiet around here lately, and the prompt list didn’t quite make the midnight debut like it was supposed to. Life got a little crazy behind the scenes, and the scheduled posts simply didn't happen. I’m really sorry for keeping you all waiting!

Thank you so much for your patience and for sticking around. The prompts are officially up now, and I’m incredibly excited to see what everyone creates this year.

Let's ease into it and make this event a great one! ✨

News and Updates

Good afternoon everyone! I bring news regarding the event. Let's unpack everything one at a time.

If you are in the discord server you might have noticed in the announcements that the server is under maintenance. This is giving me the chance to polish the server and get the bots working the way they should be. I will do everything that I can to get it done today.

Tomorrow I will be making the AO3 collection! This will be under the assumption nothing crazy happens when I go for the other tests at the hospital. I would like to get this finished as soon as possible.

The prompt list is finished! I'm fighting with myself because I cannot wait to share it with all of you!

The last little bit of news is on the sadder end of things. Due to some things happening in their life @millenniumwriter will no longer be able to help with the event. I will do my best to make this event a success!

[monthoffevers]

Thank you so much for making this blog! I have been looking for a sicktember alternative for so long, but none of the other ones worked for me. I am so happy this one is around the same time of year and the prompts drop so early!!!!

Ahhh, thank you!! Hearing this makes putting it all together worth it. I wanted to make sure everyone had plenty of time to prep their ideas. So glad you're here and excited for it! Happy writing!!

[monthoffevers]

Hi, I just discovered this event and I love the prompts! But I’m unsure what the slash means. Does it mean we have to use both prompts or can I choose anew for every day? Thanks :3

You can use one or both prompts!

[monthoffevers]

Only eight more days before kickoff and I don’t know about you guys but I’m HYPED!

Work has been chaotic lately so I sincerely apologize for the lack of everything.

I cannot wait to see all of the wonderful things that you create!

[monthoffevers]

Hiya! I really really wanted to use your prompts, however before I knew the event was meant to be SFW I was planning to combine it with kinktober..... is it okay if I use just use the prompt list without posting it to the main collection? I will still credit fully!!

Of course! The prompts are for anyone to use as they like! We only ask that any NSFW content not be posted to the main collection 💕
