Welcome to the Multi-Fandom, most anything-goes, ficlet drive! Where anyone who likes can leave, claim, and fill prompts any time you wish with absolutely no pressure to join in. We welcome ALL short-form fic in ALL fandoms (including Original Works) regardless of rating, ships (or lack thereof), tags/warnings, and themes.

The point is to keep this low-stress and open to all to encourage both writing and reading fic that might otherwise not happen. In keeping with this goal, there are very few rules and a lot of gentle encouragement for everyone joining to have a good time and remember: Not every work is for every person, but your work is for SOME PERSON.

Q: Why can't my prompt include a specific fandom, pairing, tag, or rating?
A: The spirit of this collection is to encourage a wide variety of fresh new ficlets to enjoy. All prompts should be open to interpretation for anyone to play with, as such tailoring a prompt request in such a way would not be in the spirit of things here.

Q: But what if I don't want to read Explicit Content or the existence of certain tags disgusts me?
A: Then this collection might not be for you. Nobody is required to engage with anything, and if something is not to your taste please utilize your best judgement to only click on the stories that are of interest to you. If you are unable or unwilling to curate your own experience without harassing others for the content they enjoy, this is not for you.

Q: But what about...
A: Does it violate the AO3 Content Policy? Is the length over 2k? Is it AI generated? No? Then it is allowed as long as it was created in response to the claimed inspirational prompt.

The rules are simple!

1. Everyone is welcome. Regardless of fandom, experience level, shipping preferences, kinks, or anything else. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. If you don't like a prompt or a fill, scroll on friend it's not for you and that's OK. All content that is human written fiction and falls within AO3's TOS is permitted. PLEASE use appropriate tags when posting!

2. This is a STRONGLY Anti-AI zone, we prefer all fills written from wonderful human imaginations regardless of skill. That said, PLEASE no accusations or witch hunts. We're not here to drive people off with that sort of behavior, we'd rather see 10 pieces of soul-less AI attempts than even one real person harassed for ANY reason.

3. This is a short-form specific collection. Nothing over 2k, please. Drabbles, dribbles, ficlets, all are welcome but we'd like to keep it short to encourage little bursts of creative joy. Now, if you take inspiration from a prompt and run with it to something longer? That's wonderful! Just not for this collection.
