Hello everyone! Just a reminder that submissions for the fest are due tomorrow (April 9) at 11:59pm EST! Please contact the mods here or on discord if you have questions or concerns!
One day post TLG, Harris has the Cens doing a video for social media, it’s a competition for who can keep a straight face while the others try to make them break with a smile or a laugh.
Towards the end, only Ilya remains. No one can break him, so they go get Shane. He’s got a little smile while they explain and he starts thinking of what to say. Of what he can say for a video going on the internet.
He hesitates, because he knows what he wants to tell Ilya, but keep it their secret. No one else needs to know what this was about, but he’s saved this tidbit, waiting to play it at the right time. Ilya’s steeling himself. He loves Shane and usually would smile with him just in the room, trying do be earnest about anything, but he won’t let his husband break him for this. Finally Shane makes direct eye contact with Ilya -
‘The first time, after the commercial,’
Ilya tenses, eyes light up but he’s keeping his face neutral. He isn’t sure what he thought Shane would say but it wasn’t this.

If you've completed your work, please submit it to the AO3 Collection AND submit this Google Form to the mods!
Mods will work on creating a posting schedule as submissions roll in over the next month. We've received quite a few sign-ups, but we'll be adjusting the posting calendar based on the total number of submissions we actually receive. Assume that the sooner you submit your work, the sooner it will be posted following April 10th.
This posting schedule will be made public/sent out ONLY to participants. We will use the email you provide in the Submissions Form to send this schedule, so make sure it's an email you check regularly. It will be shared closer to April 10th.
All submissions are due no later than Thursday, April 9, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST. If you need an extension, please reach out to the mods ASAP.
If you missed your chance to sign-up, this is a reminder that sign-ups are still open until March 31, 2026!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the mods via Tumblr ask or Discord!
The form for sign-ups and prompt claiming is here!
Reminders:
You do NOT have to submit a prompt to claim a prompt. Sign-ups are open for all!
Once you've signed up, there is a Discord link to the server if you want to join us (you can ask for it later, too).
Self-prompting is okay! We have 100 prompts to choose from, but if none of them inspire you creatively, feel free to sign up with an idea of your own. Or sign up and think of one later! Sign-ups and prompt claiming will be open until March 31st.
Prompt claiming is on a first come, first serve basis. We understand it might be frustrating if you don't get the prompt you wanted! However, prompts are unique to their prompter. You're welcome to either self-prompt or choose another prompt!
You may choose up to 3 prompts to claim — if you do not receive any of the 3, we will let you know that you can choose another 3 prompts. Please allow 48 hours for us to email you back with your prompt claims. We'll be working as fast as we can!
We will remove prompts from the Google Sheet linked above as they are claimed.
This is an 18+ fest. All participants MUST be 18 or older by February 1, 2026.

As always, if you have questions or need anything from the mods, please feel free to reach out. We can't wait to see what you create!
Prompting opens January 10, 2026, at 12 PM Eastern time and closes January 24, 2026, at 11:59 PM Eastern!
You can submit your prompts via the Google Form here!
Reminders:
This fest is dedicated to Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, so all prompts should center around Shane/Ilya and their relationship (or their relationship with others).
Open prompting means you can offer up prompts that you would love to see someone else create. You may submit up to 6 prompts, but you will need to submit a new form for each prompt.
You may submit your prompt anonymously. If you choose to add your AO3 username, the writer/artist may gift their work to you. However, it is not a requirement for them to do so.
If you want to self-prompt, please wait until prompt claiming opens on February 1, 2026. On that date, you will be able to "claim" a self-prompt instead of a submitted prompt.
This is an 18+ fest. All prompters should be 18+ (we can't check this, so we're relying on the honor system).
Likewise, as a reminder, all creators must also be 18+ at the time of prompt claiming on February 1, 2026.
If you want to see what other prompts have already been submitted, you can do so via this Google Sheet (read-only). Claiming will open on February 1, 2026, at 12 PM Eastern and will remain open until March 31st! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask 🏒
Have fun creating your prompts, and we can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Hello, everyone! We're excited to announce Hollanov Fest 2026, which is a fest dedicated to Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov from the book series Game Changers and TV show Heated Rivalry. This fest will have open prompting — which means you, the fandom, get to offer up prompts for participating writers and artists to choose from — and run for the next few months (schedule below).
At this point, the mods are doing an interest check to gauge how much potential participation there may be. This will help us adjust the size of the mod team and make the fest smoother overall. We also want to spread the word so people can start thinking about prompts they may want to submit when the time comes! The interest check will end when prompting opens.
Prompting opens January 10, 2026, at 12 PM Eastern and ends January 24, 2026, at 11:59 PM Eastern. We'll have more info about how you can submit prompts soon.
Self-prompting is also okay! However, if you opt to self-prompt, please wait until prompt claiming opens on February 1, 2026, and let us know you're choosing to self-prompt instead of claim a prompt.
Please fill out this Google Form to submit to the interest check and receive a link to the fest Discord.
Full schedule, rules, and links below the cut!

Rules
Please visit the AO3 Collection for more details and FAQ.
This is an 18+ fest. This is nonnegotiable.
This is a given, but all works must center Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov as the main ship. Side pairings are fine as long as they're not more important than hollanov.
Writers and artists may participate. For this fest, "artist" encompasses drawn work, video edits, collages, podfics, and any other artistic medium that could be uploaded to AO3 (excluding video edits, which we assume will be uploaded to Instagram/TikTok).
This fest is NOT anonymous. You are welcome to share snippets, WIPs, and other information about your work as you're creating.
Prompts are first come, first serve. However, there is no limit on creators who want to self-prompt (as long as the self-prompt is not substantially similar to an already existing prompt).
Collaborations are welcome, but both collaborators must sign-up.
Written works must be a minimum of 1,000 words. There is no maximum word count. However, all submissions must be complete works (i.e., no first chapters of multi-chapter works or works in progress are allowed).
All works must be completely new and made for this fest. No remixes or prequels/sequels to existing works. An exception to this rule is made for podfics; however, you must have the writer's permission to create a podfic for this fest.
This fest allows Dead Dove: Do Not Eat tagged works. However, we ask that you please tag accordingly.
All works must be finished and submitted by April 9, 2026, at 11:59 PM Eastern to be considered a part of this fest.
The point of this event is to spread love for hollanov while fostering community and creativity within the fandom. Now that the show has finished, our hope is that fan works will sustain us all until season 2! So we're excited to have you join us. We can't wait to see what prompts you come up with and what beautiful works you create 🖤
The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
