Fortress Of Good Fortune

EDIT: Apparently it's midnight where the mods are, because prompt claiming has now closed. I hope you'll still go over and have a look. Also, they do allow prompts to be used even if not part of the official Fest. Details are in the Prompt Claiming post. So if anything strikes your fancy, you'll still be able to write! :)

Hey, darlin's! After all the sweet and romantic goodness of the winter holidays and Valentine's Day, I'm eager to sink my fangs, er, teeth into some darkness! I'm nearly finished with my first prompt for dark_fest and just claimed my second today. Prompt claiming has been extended until midnight tonight, so if you thought it passed you by or you've been waffling, go on over and take a look! Plenty of prompts in plenty of fandoms!

I submitted several DCU prompts and some of the most diabolical have been taken, whoo hoo! ;) I submitted all kinds: loads of DCU, Fairytales (Grimm has nothing on me! ;) ), and other fandoms. The Lost In Space prompt is one of mine. ;) About a dozen that I submitted have been claimed, so that means I have a good shot at seeing some of them filled. :)

You can grab a maximum of two prompts and if you see one that's been snagged, you can still claim it. All prompts can be claimed by more than one person.

Remember, dark_fest doesn't have to be buckets of gore. Subtle psychological darkness also welcome! :)

I've done some of my best work for this Fest. If you'd like to see my past contributions, here you go:

2010

DC Comics

Preening Peacock (Bruce/Dick)

Public Enemies

Sins Of The Heart (Mel/Johnny)

2011

DC Comics

Diamond Roses (Bruce/Dick)

Have fun reading the prompts and stories! :)

After the sweetness 'n' light of winter holiday stories and the red-white-and-pink sugary goodness of Valentine's Day offerings, who's in the mood for fic with bite and taking a walk on the Dark Side?

dark_fest

The multifandom fest for fanfiction with dark themes is open for prompt submission until January 28th. We're looking for prompts in any fandom that will give a writer a chance to tell a dark and twisted tale. This is a fest about difficult subject matter, moral ambiguities, unhappy endings, no win scenarios, secrets, lies and shames, psychological messes, a look into the void, bad deeds, bad thoughts, bad decisions, twists of the canon mood or themes, pure evil, or good intentions paving the road to hell.
Prompt claiming runs from January 29th - February 8th, with finished fics due by March 15th.
Dark Fest FAQ



This is a very cool fest that allows you to offer prompts without requiring you to sign up to fill any, but if you do, claiming includes not only others' prompts but your own as well, it that's your preference. Let's see if DC Comics (Smallville,movieverse, 'toonverse, etc.) and our other favorites get some love! Get those twisted brains working! ;)

Last year I wrote these two stories for the Fest:

Preening Peacock (Bruce/Dick) (DC Comics)

Sins Of The Heart (Mel/Johnny) (Public Enemies)
