Make sure to tag @weekofpenelope and #PenelopeWeek2026 on all your submissions for this event.
Add your works on ao3 to our Collection: PenelopeWeek2026
Each day of the week has prompts, sub-prompts, and sub-sub-prompts. You can choose to explore any of them (individually or by combining them) at length in any manner possible - as sfw, nsfw or gen!
All Penelope-centric ships, tags, tropes and more are allowed, as long as it is tagged properly.
We welcome as many fanworks as people wish to put out of all kinds celebrating Penelope, whether that be fanfiction, art, edits or something else!
Do feel free to particpate and skip whichever days and prompts you wish to!
Share your WIPs! But do make sure to tag us so we can reblog/retweet them.
Late Submissions are fine and welcome!
