It was tough to pick from all you guys' amazing suggestions, but we managed to end up with a lovely list of prompts to work with, AND not a single repeat prompt from last year which we found quite important. Additional info + plain text versions of the prompts can be found under the cut.
FAQ and Rules
What sort of content can I create for this event?
You can create whatever you want (fic, art, edits, etc). Any fandom is allowed, as well as OC stuff. NSFW is allowed, but please tag your content accordingly! The only thing not allowed is AI-generated content.
Do I need to make 31 things to participate?
Oh heavens no! You can make as much or as little content as you like, skip days when desired, or combine prompts (so for example, write something that covers a prompt from day 1, 2, AND 3). You don't have to do the days in order either, go wild! To be considered a 'completionist', you only have to make sure that at the end of the month, you've covered 31 prompts from 31 different days, but whether you do that in 31 works or just 1 is up to you. Your works can be separate onshots or one continuous fic.
How do I interpret these prompts?
Creativity is the name of the game here! If you don't understand a prompt, feel free to send us an ask about it. However, the important thing is you're free to interpret the prompts however you want. For example, 'heat' could be literal (fever, heatstroke, burn wounds) or figurative (somebody getting heat for something). The dialogue prompts are allowed to be slightly rewritten to fit better for the character whose mouth it's coming out of. As long as you're having fun!
What are these alts about?
If none of the three prompts of a particular day are your cup of tea, you can swap them out for an alt prompt of your choice. This will count as having covered that day for completionists.
How do I tag and is there an AO3 collection?
It suffices to tag your work with #ailesswhumptober for us to see and reblog it! Please also tag nsfw, since we'll be using that tag too. Tagging the day is optional but does help the mods along.
There is an AO3 collection to add your fics to. It will be revealed and linked here closer to the start of the event.
That should be all. If you have any additional questions, check our pinned or hit us up in the ask box. Or join our discord maybe, whumping can be a great group activity!

Collapsed lung, Contusion, "Well, that shouldn't have happened."
This year it took us some extra time, but we are happy to announce at last that all our prompts are filled and this event can happily retire for another year 💕
As usual, we want to thank all the donors who raised money for charity in order to keep Techno's memory alive.
We also want to thank all our contributors, the artists and writers of the Technoblade community, who have always played such a pivotal role in his legacy. We want to thank our mods, who went above and beyond to wrangle sheets, pinch hits, and too many late nights.
And last but certainly not least, we want to thank Techno for bringing this community together in the first place, for all the days of laughter, for showing us bravery in the face of life dealing us a bad hand. We miss you every day, king.
Like previous years, our event will encourage people to donate to charity in return for getting art and fic in remembrance of Technoblade. You can view the full timeline below.

I was just thinking about how important it is to have authors (both fan and professional) with whom I feel... safely unsafe, if that makes sense.
Like, this is going to hurt, there are going to be things that happen to these characters that I absolutely Do Not Want to happen, but I trust you and I trust this ride.
