June 2019: Amnesty/Free-for-All Month!

Hi, everyone! As promised, we’re going to make the summer months Amnesty/Free-for-All Months, meaning you can make a fanwork for any of our previous prompts! =D

If you started a fanwork in a previous month, but didn’t finish it by that month’s deadline, then this is your excuse to finish it!

If you want to express your excitement for next season with a fanwork, then this is your excuse to fulfill an old prompt with something new!

Remember:

Fanworks should be posted to the AO3 collection by the 25th. Earlier is fine!

Ships should involve only current Pens players, past Pens players, and/or people adjacent to the Penguins.

Special recognition in the masterlist goes to anyone who (a) makes a fanwork for each of the four prompts or (b) makes a single fanwork that incorporates all four of the prompts.

Complete rules are here for your reference.

We’re also providing an optional low-key prompt each month to spark your creative juices even more. (Earlier, we said that these would all be photos; that might not hold true, even though we’re using a picture this month.)

This month’s prompt is the following photo:

[ID taken from the source: “Pittsburgh Penguins mascot Iceburgh gives the no-goal call after an apparent St. Louis Blues goal was disallowed during a November 23, 2011 game at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA.”] (source)

Happy fanwork-ing! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send us an ask!

April Prompts

Remember:

Fanworks should be posted to AO3 by the 25th. Earlier is fine!

Fanworks should be a response to one or more prompts. The player of the month counts as one of the prompts, so you can write your fic about someone else if you prefer, as long as you use one of the other prompts.

Ships should involve only current Pens players, past Pens players, and/or people adjacent to the Penguins.

Special recognition in the masterlist goes to anyone who (a) makes a fanwork for each of the four prompts, or (b) makes a single fanwork that incorporates all four of the prompts.

Complete rules are here.

It’s okay if you use the prompt really loosely, especially the photo prompt! All we ask is that you genuinely use the prompt as inspiration, however that inspires you. :)

Have fun! Without further ado, OUR PROMPTS:

PLAYER OF THE MONTH: Dominik Simon! Here’s an article about him playing with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel. And here’s his Wikipedia page!
