" 'Cryptids and Kylux,' we spake to the void. The void answered."

" 'Cryptids and Kylux,' we spake to the void. The void answered."

Once upon a time in fandom history the words Mothman Stensland were uttered into the void. The kylux collective consciousness forgets nothing. These thought forms grew into Mothman Stensland, Eldritch being Kylo, Kitsune Shiba Inu Hux and others. We invite you to suspend disbelief and join our quirky eight day fest. We’ll see you Wed, March 22!

This is a moderated collection, and works will be approved at the discretion of the mods.

Every contribution must feature Kylux or a Kylux Adjacent ship and fulfill the cryptid theme in some fashion. For example: “The Logan clan told stories of a Mothman living down in the ravine. Clyde didn't believe it until he saw who was raiding his strawberry patch.”

Pre-slash and polyamorous configurations are both welcome!

Contributions may be in any medium: fic, traditional or digital art, photography, moodboards, dolls, Sims, edits, Lego, food art, ice sculpture as long as no Yeti are harmed during the process.

We accept works in any language. (Just make sure it's tagged
clearly so we can confirm!)

Collaborations and anonymous works are welcome.

Please tag your works according to AO3's rules and policies and include all major ships, characters, and tags. Improperly tagged works will not be approved.

The collection will open to submissions on Wed, March 22nd. However, any work posted during the 2023 calendar year is eligible for inclusion.

Be kind and have fun.
