1. Ensure every member of the opposing team receives at least 1 gift.
2. Total points score is higher than the other team.
Phases
1. Battle: participants will earn points by gifting to members of the opposing team.
2. Diplomacy: participants will earn points by commenting on the gifts their team has received.
Timeline
Fight Begins: June 20th
Battle Phase ends: August 10th
Diplomacy Phase begins: August 11th
Fight Ends: August 31st
Setup
—Each participant receives a list of people they might like to create for based on their preferences
—There’s also a filtering system to help you find participants to create for
—Works will be posted to ao3 collection
—Each team has own private channel for strategizing
—Updating scoreboards to show progress
—Pay attention to Battle periods!
Attacking
The first time you “attack” (post a gift), you will earn 1 point for your team. Every time you attack after that, you will earn +0.2 points more than the last time you attacked. You can attack up to 20 times.
Battle
Throughout this phase of the Fight, there will be 36-84 hour time slots during which your Gift can earn bonus points (+0.5, etc.), but only if you post it during that period of time. These are called Battle Periods. The times of the next Battle Period will be announced as the last one ends. NOTE: the bonus amount will not be revealed until after the Battle Period is over.
BP Server Vote
After each Battle Period, every gift sent during that Battle Period will be presented for the server to vote on.
Diplomacy
All comments made before the end of the Fight will count for points; this includes comments made before the Diplomacy phase started. Only comments made on gifts created by the opposing team can count for points, and you can only submit 1 comment per gift. You will receive 0.3 points per comment.
Final Bonuses
—Your team will receive a 15% bonus if the team creates 2 gifts for every member of the opposing team. That is 15% of your final score.
—Your team will receive a 5% bonus if every member of your team comments on each gift they have received. That is 5% of your final score.
Further minor details can be found in the announcements channel!

July Break Bingo is back again, for the 5th year in a row.
Sign-ups are open now and close on July 7th!
This is an extremely customizable bingo that you can curate, spanning all fandoms and mediums, with a broad range of prompts. You can opt out of Romance, Whump, NSFW and various other options (including the FREE space, if you just want all of your squares to be prompts). You can cherry pick prompts or choose one of our multiple streamline options to speed up your submission. Whichever works best for you!
As always, we have the usual bingo card sizes:
a 5x5 card (with 5 alternate prompts)
a 3x3 card
a 1x5 card
For those who are members of our Discord server, we have additional card sizes to choose from (4x4, 6x6, 7x7). Feel free to join if you haven't already and would like to choose some of those other card sizes!
If you have any questions, our FAQ can be found here, or you can ask us on our tumblr or Discord server.
The sign up form can be found here. This event is 18+ but you'll have the option to opt into or out of NSFW as you like.
We would love to have you join us!

Sapphic summer 2026 is here and it's my second year running it! Come have fun with us. This runs from Jun 7-Sept 15, 2026.
Basic rules:
-Fic is limited to 100-250 words.
-For other mediums use your best judgment for equivalence. I suggest, but am happy to hear counterarguments for the following limits: podfic 100-250 words read, icons/graphics/gifs 1-3 images, art as a sketch.
-Any rating, including unrated, is acceptable.
-Any f/f(/f+) ship from any fandoms - more specifically, characters that canonically identify as female. While genderswap works are lovely, the goal of this event is to promote preexisting ladies.
-After filling one prompt, you may post up to three prompts. You may post three prompts for each fill you make, but prompts should always be in replies to prompt comments and contain a fill. See previous rounds for example. Prompts will be compiled on a prompts post for easy viewing; fills will be compiled on a post also!
There are collections on all OTW-Archive sites except FFLOL and Squidge (which I believe was down when I made this post).
Come check it out!

Pod-together is a fandom fest where writers and podficcers create together—the writer creating text specifically intended for audio, and the podficcer creating the audio. If that sounds fun to you, sign-ups are open until June 13th! You can find instructions to sign up, rules, and FAQ at the dreamwidth site linked in our bio.
Sign-ups come in two flavors. If you would like the mods to match you with someone with similar fandom interests, sign up for Matchmaker Sign-Ups. If you would like to sign up with a partner, we also have Group Sign-Ups.
Writing is due July 26th, and podfic is due August 23rd. The minimum length for pod-together projects is 1000 words or 10 minutes of audio.
This is our 16th year running this challenge, and participants usually have a ton of fun and create amazing stuff, with everything from the typical style of fannish stories to submissions with filk, poetry, found footage/audio drama, sound effects, massive multi-voice collaborations, full-cast musicals, immersive soundscapes, playable games, and multiple languages.
If you’re on the fence and have questions, or want to try to scout a group before signing up, we have a section of our Discord open just for that. You can find a link to the Discord in the sign-up post on our dreamwidth!
Visit the Dreamwidth linked in our bio for more details!

Yu-Gi-Oh! 30th Anniversary Fan Fest: June
Favorite Main Character
June’s prompt is “favorite main character”!
With eight distinct installments of the franchise, each with their own protagonist. From the original with Yugi and Yami to the most recent Yudias, there are quite a few to pick from. Which number one is number one in your heart?
Remember, use the hashtag #YGO30thFanFest to share your response and to see other’s responses!
Alrighty - we did Pride last year, and we got a little stalled on theme.
We're curious, though. Is there anything you guys would like to see? We've done Plural and Pride related themes, as they directly impact our mod team - and didn't want to seem... Like we're taking advantage, by doing something for Black History Month, Juneteenth, etc., with very non-Black mod team. However, we'd like to hear from any BIPoC members of our little community. Drop us an ask, swing by the discord, leave a comment - tell us what you'd like to see. If we feel we can deliver it respectfully, especially by working with (ideally multiple) members of specific groups if applicable, we'd love to give it a shot.
With that in mind, we veered away from an observational theme, and this month's theme is Tropes! These are the SFW prompts - the NSFW ones can be found here! (Most, if not all, of these tropes can be found on TV Tropes here!)

Four or More 2026 Pride Event
AO3 collection
This is a limited time Ficathon where the only requirement is to have your work be Pride-themed.
What’s Pride-themed? Anything from actually loudly attending Pride to quiet coming outs to family. Celebrating mixed orientation relationships or watching people’s sexual orientations and genders change and evolve within the polycule. Gender fuckery in the sheets or in the streets.
We will not be policing works for one definition of Pride
Our Four or More Bingo will be officially launched on June 1st, but you can combine this event with the Four or More Bingo (or any other event that allows it) for an extra challenge.
This event will run exclusively from June 1st to June 30th.
This is a low-stakes, personal challenge. There's no penalty for not finishing, you just won’t make it to the Pride collection.
GUIDELINES
Any medium! Any rating! As long as your work focuses on a relationship with 4 or more people, it's allowed!
All works must be your own and not previously posted. AI generated works will be deleted from the collections.
You may combine these with other events, as long as the other event allows it (examples are @polyamships polyamshippingday, lyricaltitles challenges, etc)
Small fandoms welcome!
Don't forget to comply with the community guidelines.
MEDIUM SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
Minimum wordcount for fics is 100 words. There is no maximum
Minimum for art is a sketch on unlined paper (figure sticks allowed!). There is no limit to the quality or effort you want to put in your fills.
Minimum for moodboards is a 3x3 grid (9 images individually or edited in one image). Maximum is given by the place where you decide to post. On tumblr, the maximum is 20 images, but on AO3, you're free!
Minimum for podfic is a 100-word fic. There is no restriction on maximum length or sound effects.
Minimum for fanvids is 30 seconds. There is no maximum.
Other mediums don't have a minimum. Do you want to make an in-universe magazine for your ship? A cross stich pattern? A sculpture? Go ahead and do it! I look forward to all the things you can create.
FAQ below the cut
Q: What kind of works am I allowed to submit?
A: All type of fanworks are welcome! Fics, art, podfic, meta, you name it. As long as the main relationship features 4 or more people, it's allowed.
Q: I don't have an AO3 account. Can I join?
A: Of course! All you need to be able to participate on tumblr is a tumblr account. If you don't have an AO3 account and would like to post there, please contact the mods off anon and we'll get you an invite.
Q: My work contains [INSERT WARNING HERE]. Can I still participate?
A: Yes. This is a CNTW (Choose Not To Warn) space. Feel free to post without worrying about warnings.
Q: I don't want to see [X] content, can you please remove it?
A: No. The only content that will be removed will be that that does not comply with the rules.
If you have any questions about the event, don’t hesitate to send a message.
The AO3 COLLECTION has opened! (a little earlier, yes, but I was excited okay?)
The time has come for you to put that polycule or complicated relationship with 4 or more people in situations! Remember that the only requirement is to have your work be Pride-themed.
Don't forget to @ fourormore when you post or use the tag #fourormore to be featured in the blog!
AO3 tag wranglers have canonized some new "No Fandom" additional tags and revised subtag and metatag relationships of existing "No Fandom" canonical tags. Check out the latest news post for details: https://otw-news.org/y8pvnu7j
Masahiro Hikokubo, the writer responsible for the duels of the Yu-Gi-Oh series, has been answering reader-submitted questions about GX in the monthly V-Jump magazine.
In this issue, he talks about Rei's intro episode, Misawa's duel against Judai, Mokey Mokey, and Ojama Yellow.
and is a re-run from our very first word game back in 2020!
