A recurring challenge based on short-form NU: Carnival fic.
Guidelines
This event is 18+ only because this is a porn game, and naturally there will be NSFW.
Works should be 2000 words or less. To account for differences in how software/websites handle word count, consider 2100 a hard cap.
There are no content restrictions; anything inspired by the prompt(s) is fine. You can consider this event "proship," i.e. make whatever you want because it's just fiction.
Pairs don't have to be romantic or sexual in nature. It's up to you how they interact.
Additional prompts (words, tropes, AUs) are always optional, and only serve to provide a little inspiration if you need it.
Challenges will be posted weekly, but the account will retweet submissions for up to 2 weeks after each prompt is announced.
While the term 'flash fic' is usually associated with written works, you're welcome to submit visual art as well.

FAQ
What if my fic exceeds 2000 words?I’m not going to be double checking everyone’s word counts, but the purpose of this event is to create a relatively short work within a short amount of time, so I’ll focus on sharing submissions that follow the guidelines. Regardless, you’re free to use the prompts however (and whenever) you wish.Can I use my works for other challenges/events/etc?As long as the other event allows it 👍If I want to make visual art instead of fic, are there any restrictions?Not really. As long as you post it within the 2-week period the prompt is active, I’m happy to share it.Are the pairs REALLY random?Pairs & prompt order are MOSTLY random, with adjustments to account for:- leaning away from popular ships (most of the time. they'll probably show up occasionally)
- requests for rarepairs
- not wanting to make you jump through too many hoops to justify characters interacting
- timing (character birthdays, in-game events, etc)
- sometimes I just think a pair is funny so I put them togetherCan I include characters not mentioned in the prompt?Yes, as long as the work is otherwise relevant to the prompt.Can I add another chapter/a sequel/etc to my fics later on?Sure, as long as the original submission can be enjoyed as a complete work on its own at the time of posting.Can I request my rarepair as a prompt?As a rarepair enjoyer I’m always happy to give the people what they want. Shoot me a DM and I’d be happy to work your faves into the lineup.
