Its time to get excited once again for Stricklake month!!
As I've been doing for the past two years, I'm hosting Stricklake month. I'm releasing the prompts a month in advance for people to have time to prep their prompts and for new people to decide if they want to take part. The event will run for the entire duration of August.
Prompts for this year are as follows:
Week one: Time loop/Interdimensional (1st-7th August)
Week two: Accident/Choice (8th-14th August)
Week three: Resurrection/After life (15th-21st August)
Week four: Crime/Innocent (22nd-28th August)
Final roundup: (29th-31st August)
For those new to Stricklake month, take a look at last years final roundup to get a idea of what people have done for the month, HERE. All mediums are welcome, as long as the main focus remains on the relationship between Barbara Lake/Walter Strickler. Like last year, Jim is free to make guest appearances as part of the knife family, so you can indulge in all the family fluff (Jimbo loves to photobomb these lovebirds).
You're welcome to fill in as many or as little prompts as you'd like for any of the weeks, there's no pressure! Just make sure to tag your fills with #keenswimmers2026. This makes it easier to find content! Also, this year I'll have a bit of help with the first two week's roundup posts from @undeadchestnut so look out for those! I'll be still doing the last two roundup posts as well as the final roundup.
Special thanks to @rexnanorum and @seekerofblades for the graphics again, really grateful for all your help again. Thanks are also due to @undeadchestnut, @whitherwanderyouspirit and @kathrahender for helping me brainstorm prompt ideas.
And finally (hope none of you mind!) But tagging some people who I think will be interested in participating: @joethehoeee, @ollie-alooffloof, @moonybird, @icebku, @elymigremlin, @kobujime, @cermblka and @nashrahirl. And anyone else of course who sees this and wishes to take part!
Any questions, my asks and DMs are always open!
