Welcome, y'all! This is the Ao3 collection for the fanworks created for the Bennguin Fan Fest Spring 2k18, running from March 7th - April 12th, 2018. Users submitted a variety of prompts, which were compiled into a list for creators to use as inspiration for fanworks celebrating Bennguin - the pairing of Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. We've got some amazing prompts on this list!

1. Is there a minimum word count for fanfiction?
There's no minimum word count! We'd love to see whatever you come up with for this fest. Even if you don't think it's long enough to share here on Ao3, please post to tumblr with the tag #bennguinfanfest so that we can share your work!

2. What kinds of fanworks are accepted?
While Ao3 is primarily an archive for fanfiction, we welcome fanworks of any type in this fest - edits, playlists, fanart, podfic, all are welcome! We'd love to see and share anything you're inspired to create!

Fan works of all types are welcome, and there is no restriction or rules on the amount of work created or the number of works. We'd love to see anything you're inspired to create!
