Rules:

This is a fic exchange event for the 4 major Arkane franchises: Dishonored, Prey, Deathloop, and Redfall. You will have just over a month to write a fic in any of those fandoms, that is at least 300 words, and contains the trope or prompt provided to you.

Due to the nature of the fandoms, NSFW content is allowed, both in terms of gore and sexual content, unless specified otherwise by the person requesting the fic (in their DNW).

When requesting a fic, you will need to provide at least a fandom and a short prompt. You will also have the opportunity to provide extra tags (e.g.: hurt/comfort, modern day AU, ...), a pairing, and a DNW list.

Rules Summary:

Dishonored, Prey, Deathloop, Redfall franchises

300 words min

NSFW ✅

FAQ:

Is there a maximum word count?

No. The sky is your limit. But you will have to have completed the fic by the 23rd. It cannot be ongoing.

What if I need to drop out?

No problem. Stuff happens, especially around Christmas. If you want to drop out, just DM me here or on Discord so I can find a replacement to write something for your secret partner.

Do keep in mind that this is a community event, and that if you drop out and no one is able to replace you, the person you were matched with might be left without a gift.

I missed the signups, can I still join?

Only as a pinch hitter unfortunately. This means that you will need to write a fic for someone whose partner dropped out, and that you might not receive a gift (I will try and sort something out, but I can't promise anything).

I have another question ...

Go for it! There's no such thing a silly question, and the asks on this blog are anonymous.

Disclaimer:

This is my first time running an event on AO3, as I've only ran these types of things on Royal Road, so I apologies in advance for any potential technical difficulties.

Good morning PREY (2017) fans.

games like Prey and Bioshock really push against transhumanism but im 100% serious when i say that if you gave me a rusty syringe filled with glowing red liquid and said "this will let you teleport, see through walls, throw balls of fire from your hands, turn invisible, and move stuff with your mind but there's a chance you'll go insane/instantly just die" i would instantly slam that shit into my arm.

idc how many unstable stem cells or how much dangerous alien DNA you're putting in my fragile human body i WANT those superpowers

does this mean i am actively avoiding the poignant morals of my favourite videogames? yes. does this mean i'll probably die as soon as some evil megacorporation starts selling us "evolution in a bottle"? also yes.

I adored both the layout of the Talos 1 and the look of the Coral, so I tried my hand at drawing both. I’m calling this one “Nebulous”

Progress!

More on the Talos I lamp. Have a different soldering tool, things are much better
