There are seven days of prompts + a free day:

Friday, December 26, 2025: Games | Academy days | “Make me.”

Saturday, December 27, 2025: Snowstorm or Beach day | Holodeck malfunction | “I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

There are five extra challenges:

The Katrina: post every day

The Cornwell: build one storyline through all your posts

The Vice Admiral: combine two of the day’s prompts into one work

The Admiral: combine all three of the day’s prompts into one work

The Price of Command: Kat glimpses what her life may have been if one pivotal event had not happened, or had happened differently.

There are no requirements or limits to any medium (e.g. word count, art style, length of vid or pod, etc.).

You may answer as many, or as few, as you like and there is no specific format. The prompts are jumping off points and may be considered in universe or meta. Answers may take the form of essay, discussion, fiction, artwork, bulleted lists, gifsets, vids, vlogs, comics, whatever! It is also fine to answer prompts on a different day than that which corresponds with the prompt (if you miss it, or it is simply easier for you). There is no right or wrong way to participate! The purpose of Katmas is to celebrate Admiral Cornwell, not create work or drama.

I will link the AO3 Collection when it is open.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

I have many thoughts about Mon and Perrin

Mainly right now from the final episode in s1, when Mon confronts him about gambling and suggests he's been spending her money doing it. (The missing money has actually gone to the Rebellion and she's setting this up knowing that her driver is spying on her, but Perrin doesn't know that.)

When I was first watching s1 I'd guessed at something broadly like this happening with Perrin: he'd do something bad that Mon would manage to use to her advantage against him. But this scene was a lot more uncomfortable to watch than the one I thought I'd get because what she actually does is uses something he hasn't done against him, and while this works for its intended purpose as far as she knows she looks a long way from happy to have done it.

It is also a much better and scene than the one I thought I was getting, but then most Perrin developments ended up like that for me. (I thought he was going to be used to represent of all the oppressive Chandrilan traditions that are smothering Mon, but she's the one in their relationship with the higher status and influential job and family wealth, not him; there's that scene in s1 where Mon and Vel are discussing Leida doing all the Chandrilan traditionalist stuff and Vel immediately assumes it's Perrin's influence but Mon says no, he's "surprisingly open-minded", it's all Leida.)

I also thought initially he was pro-Imperial, but he's not, really; he doesn't seem to have any political affiliations or leanings at all any more although she says he was once "the academy firebrand" and he isn't happy she's brought it up:

Right after this they go back to talking about what Mon's doing at the party, which is trying to gather votes against the new sentencing legislation. Tay says that the legislation is having an effect (which we know because the storyline's cut with Cassian getting sent to the prison on Narkina due to that same legislation). All Perrin says about it is "the rebels should have thought that over before blowing up Aldhani" before leaving them to it, and so he doesn't sound like he particularly cares, but he's also hit on the same point Mon brings up with Luthen about Aldhani not long before - "Do you realise what you've set in motion? People will suffer!" - and not long after this, one of the Senators whose votes Mon is after turns up to talk to her having been steered her way by Perrin.

I don't think Perrin is secretly pro-Rebellion here, or that he cares about the sentencing directive more than he's letting on, but I do think that what initially looks like it's going to be Tay the principled rebel vs. Perrin the disinterested hedonist isn't even that simple at the start.

Back to the car scene: to me it makes Perrin more interesting than he'd be in a scene where he's being confronted over something he has done, because this way you get to see his reaction - anger at Mon for not believing him wrapped up with warning her that someone's lying to her and using him to do it (and he's correct, he just doesn't suspect her).

But it makes Mon more interesting, too! There wouldn't be much of a moral compromise needed in blaming Perrin for something he'd genuinely done; the decision she's making in blaming him for this is a tougher one, and it's obvious she feels that. And that the subject of Perrin and gambling is so personal as well, that this is something they both acknowledge he's done before in a way that caused her significant... pain? difficulty? she uses the word 'shamed' which makes it a lot more emotionally loaded than just losing money; that he promised he wouldn't do it again, and full-on shouts this time that he's "kept my promise!"; that all this matters to Mon; and that this is still a sacrifice she's prepared to make for the greater cause.

Anyway, all this is so much more interesting to me than an equivalent scene where Perrin actually hadn't kept that promise, or hadn't made it in the first place, or Mon hadn't cared that he had. I am very glad the writers did not go down the easier and duller route and gave us this instead.

[whereareyourightnow]

There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy. There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it's here. It's here and it's not visiting anymore. It wants to stay. The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness, it is never more alive than when we asleep. It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight, and maybe it's true, maybe fighting is useless.

Announcing Katmas 2025!

September was difficult for the mods so this year's Katoberfest is moving to later in the year. Katmas will be held December 26, 2025 - January 2, 2026. I am collecting prompt suggestions through Sunday, October 12.

Submit prompts through the ASK box.

Prompts may be general or specific. All tropes, activities, or celebrations welcome. They do not have to relate to a holiday or season (the mods live in the USA and Australia so both Winter and Summer are accurate!).

Submit as many as you like. I will publish a full list in addition to those selected for each day of Katmas.

The final prompt list will be published no later than Friday, October 17.

Details about posting will be included with the prompt list.

Any questions, feel free to ask me (@pixiedane) on tumblr or discord.

Hi! I was curious if Katoberfest would be taking place this year. 🖖

Hello! I’m so sorry for the late response. We are planning to do a Kat fest during the last week of December this year. I will post an announcement very soon!
