[#279 | Haunted Library] Challenge Post

Challenge 279:
HAUNTED LIBRARY
Books as far as the eye can see, neatly maintained shelves with just the occasional hint of dust, the gentle murmur of whispered conversation. It’s a good place to do some research, a little light reading, or just some relaxing – quiet, peaceful, pleasant.

Maybe a little bit too quiet. Those conversations should be audible, but somehow they’re always just a little too low to hear. There’s a few lights burned out, but some of the shadows are just a little too deep, just a little too impenetrable. And – hey, didn’t the library close twenty minutes ago?

Write a story about a haunted library.

BONUS GOAL: Bats in the Belfry

If your submission features bats, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!


Challenge ends Monday, October 27 at 9:00PM EST.
• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 279 – haunted library

Fradrian Week 2025

tumblr | bsky | AO3

Fradrian Week is a fan-led event celebrating the femslash ship of Franziska von Karma x Adrian Andrews from Ace Attorney! This prompt event runs from December 8 - December 14, 2025. We're so excited to see what everyone will create 🩵💛

Prompts and How to Submit

Main Prompts (SFW)

Day 1: Work / Relaxation

Day 2: Wounds / Healing

Day 3: First Dates / Mishaps

Day 4: Facade / Showbusiness

Day 5: Trust / Reliance

Day 6: Future / Celebrations

Day 7: AU / Free Day

To submit your work, post to the #fradrianweek2025 (for SFW creations) or #fradrianweek2025nsfw (for NSFW creations) on tumblr or bsky and/or submit to our AO3 Collection. We will be sharing creations throughout the week! 

Late submissions will be accepted up to 1 week after the event. 

General Guidelines

  • You can submit fanfiction, drabbles, podfic, poetry, sketches, a mixtape—whatever medium you feel passionate about! There is no minimum word count.

  • This event is meant to be for fun—don't feel like you have to create something perfectly polished in order to participate (although if you want to, you can!) 

  • We encourage you to cheerlead others' work by commenting and sharing. A kind comment or tag can go a long way! 

  • The main (SFW) prompts are open to all ages, but you must be 18+ to create NSFW works. 

  • SFW works can be up to T-rated. They can contain swearing, light substance use (alcohol, smoking), mild suggestive language, "fade-to-black" or implied sex, but can't contain explicit sex or graphic violence. 

  • NSFW works can be M- or E-rated, and must be properly tagged with kinks and relevant content warnings. Please take care to warn for topics like suicidal ideation and suicide, especially if you are exploring them more graphically than they are shown in the text of the game.

  • We do not allow the use of generative AI for this event. 

FAQs

  • Can I combine days or prompts? Yes, you can do that if you wish. You can also combine SFW and NSFW prompts. 

  • Can I include other pairings? Yes, OT3s and polycules are fine, as long as there is a focus on the Fran/Adrian dynamic. 

  • Can I interpret the prompts broadly/loosely? The prompts are meant as inspiration, and you're welcome to interpret them how you want to! We've tried to make them open ended to give creators the option to make them their own. 

  • Can I combine the Fradrian Week prompts with prompts from other fan events (like AA bingo)? As long as it's okay with the organizers of the other event(s), we're fine with that! 

Have fun, and happy creating!

It is once again mini-amnesty time! Toss your Dark Forest fills (and just for fun, let's say any fills for other #270-anything prompts) at the community until Wednesday at 9pm, or whenever after that your friendly neighborhood mod has a chance to get the new challenge up.

Pre-Nominations 2025

Every year new fandoms and relationships get nominated to Holly Poly. We're happy to see the event grow and reach new audiences, however, we also need to keep the tagset a reasonable size to avoid issues at a future time, which is why we will not be importing all of the 2024 tagset for the 2025 exchange. For this reason, we also ask that you consider if the fandom/relationships you're transferring are some that you are serious about requesting or offering for this year's exchange.

Remember that we will also have our regular nominations period, where you will be able to nominate up to 10 fandoms with 10 relationships each. If you only have a handful of fandoms/relationships to nominate and are confident about nominating through AO3, you can wait for our regular nominations period if you want to.

Since the format of nominations is not changing, we'll be transferring fandoms/relationship tags from last year's tagset to this year's tagset upon request. This year, we are also allowing importing of fandoms/relationship tags from the 2023 tagset as well, but we require you mention if the tags are from that tagset since they need additional checking by us in case any fandoms/disambiguation has changed since 2023.

There are limits on what you can transfer:
  • Each person can only request 10 fandoms be transferred. If you need more fandoms than that for some reason, please use the regular nominations process to nominate everything else. (If posting anon, please sign with a consistent name/pseud/emoji!)
  • For fandoms with 19 or fewer relationship tags, we will transfer all relationship tags. Use the instructions under "Full Fandoms" .
  • For fandoms with 20+ relationship tags, you can only ask for 20 relationships to be transferred. Use the instructions under "Specific Tags From Fandoms" below.
Note that the transferring process will only work for tags that were in the last two year's tagsets and will only transfer those tags exactly as they appear in our spreadsheets for that year's tagset data.

Fandom Name Changes

If there have been changes to your fandoms that could change the fandom tag, now is a good time to let us know about them. This is especially true if a fandom nominated separately last year is in danger of combining into a larger fandom this year.

For example:
One Piece (Anime & Manga) and One Piece (Live Action TV 2023)
Pride and Prejudice (TV 1995) and Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock (TV)

Tagsets
Spreadsheets of fandoms and relationships in batch load format: 
2023 Tagset
2024 Tagset

Please check your nominations have been transferred correctly after we confirm (allow for 48 hours before asking about your nominations). If you see any issues in the 2024 tagset (such as not seeing your transferred fandoms or relationships cut short), let us know immediately.

For Full Fandoms (19 or fewer relationship tags)

Please reply to this post with your list with each fandom on a new line. Fandoms must be exactly as they appear in the tagset spreadsheet.

For Specific Tags From Fandoms (20+ relationship tags)

Please reply to this post with your fandom and the tags you want transferred in batch load format (Fandom,Relationship), with each relationship on a new line. All tags must be exactly as they appear in the tagset spreadsheet.

Check the first comment for an example on how the transfer must look like.

If you have any questions about the process, please leave a comment on the announcement post (link). Only use this post to transfer nominations from the two last year's tagsets.

Dear Yuletide Letter 2025

Thank you for writing for me! This letter is bound to be long, so tl;dr: I love all kinds of different things at different times, I love these fandoms and characters, and I'm sure to enjoy whatever you come up with.

Any prompts are intended purely for inspiration, not to restrict your choices. Take what's useful and leave what isn't. I hope you have a lovely Yuletide.

AWS outage

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Holly Poly 2025 Schedule

Holly Poly is, as the name implies, an exchange for polyamorous relationships. OT3s, OT4s, OT6s, orgies, open relationships, sedoretus, whatever strikes your fancy, as long as it involves three or more entities.

Participants are able to offer and request fanart, fanfiction, fanvids, podfic, fanmixes, gifsets, or aesthetics/moodboards.

Schedule

All times are 11:00am UTC, save for golive which will depend on when final pinch hits are posted.

20-26 October: Pre-nominations (Period to transfer nominations from the last two year’s tagsets into this tagset) - countdown timer link
26 October-08 November: Nominations
08-14 November: Nominations clean up
14-26 November: Signups
30 November: Assignments out by this date
18 January: Default deadline
25 January: Fanworks are due
01 February: The archive goes live (as soon as everyone has a gift)

You can read the updated rules over here.

We understand that life gets in the way sometimes. If you realize you will not be able to finish your assignment, please default as soon as possible.

For extensions, 48 hours is the maximum that will be granted. You're free to still finish your assignment if you need more than 48 hours; however, if you ask for a longer extension or you don't post your fanwork by the extension deadline, then the request will be sent out as a pinch hit. There will be no exceptions to this rule.

Please note that if you defaulted two years in a row, defaulted after the default deadline and didn't write a treat afterwards, didn't submit your work by the due date without any warning, submitted an unfinished work, or deleted your already-completed assignment, you're banned from participating in this year's Holly Poly.

The FAQs for this year's exchange have been posted. Please read over it carefully as some things have changed from past years. Please let us know if anything is unclear. And, as always, leave a comment below if you have any questions.
