Some notes/reminders:
- If you don't select characters in a request, it's your author's choice which character or characters to include from the tag set. Please don't say you want a particular character more than others when you have not selected character tags.
- Please check the additional tag you've selected makes sense for the characters you've selected. For example, "One or more characters (giver's choice)" doesn't make sense if you select several characters and you really want at least two to interact.
- Please check you can access the email associated with your AO3 account. Mods may use this to reach out to you with questions.
- If you are open to treats, feel free to say so - it isn't greedy! It's just letting people know that you haven't disabled the treat setting.
Please either comment logged-in or sign a name. Unsigned anonymous comments will be left screened.

seasonsofdrabbles- The deadline is Saturday, November 1 @ 11:59pm Eastern Daylight time (Countdown). If your assignment has not been submitted to AO3 by then, you will be defaulted.
- If your recipient did not request a fandom, character, and drabble type you offered, please contact the mods at seasonsofdrabbles@gmail.com ASAP.
- If you need to default, please do so via the button on AO3.
- For the requirements your drabble must meet, please see our guidelines. The collection is moderated and we will be doing a brief check of submitted works before admitting them into the collection. If we see an issue, we will contact you through email.
- If you write a drabble for a fandom in the tagset but it doesn't fit anyone's request, you may post it to the collection anyway, with no recipient.
We'll aim to post initial pinch hits in the next 24 hours. Happy drabbling!

fandomcalendarFradrian Week 2025
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
—
NSFW Prompts (18+)
Day 1: Lingerie / Clothing Kink
Day 2: Whip / Glasses
Dat 3: First Time / New Discoveries
Day 4: Roleplay / Fantasy
Day 5: Submission / Bondage
Day 6: Semi-Public Sex / Long Distance Sex
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!
Pinch Hits & Mid Sign-Ups Notes

yuletide_adminIf your sign-up includes a letter link, please make sure that link works for all viewers! In particular, if your letter is on tumblr, please set it up to be viewable for people who do NOT have tumblr. If you're using Google docs, we recommend linking a web-published version of your letter.
Pinch hits
Pinch hits are a major part of Yuletide. Pinch hits are writing assignments that need to be claimed by volunteers, and pinch hitters are the writers who claim and fulfil them. Currently, we publish pinch hit details on![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png) yuletide_pinch_hits, but we also send out notifications of new pinch hits to members of the Yuletide Discord server who have taken on the "yulephs" role, and to anyone subscribed to the Google Group for Yuletide pinch hits.
yuletide_pinch_hits, but we also send out notifications of new pinch hits to members of the Yuletide Discord server who have taken on the "yulephs" role, and to anyone subscribed to the Google Group for Yuletide pinch hits.If you're interested in helping out by taking on extra assignments, please check that you're signed up to receive notifications by one of these methods! We'll send a test message out soon.
Sign-ups
We've introduced some new features this year! You can now request up to 8 fandoms, and you may fill out a form (linked from the sign-up form) if there are people you would prefer not to match to. Beginning in 2023 we have also included an additional tag checkbox where you can specify whether you want all of your requested characters to appear, or if you’d be happy with particular combinations you specify, or any combination your writer chooses.If you have questions about any of these, please email us at yuletideadmin@gmail.com! We'd like to make sure things go smoothly for you.
Requesting characters can be a tricky aspect of Yuletide, so just in case, here's a refresher:
If you select 2-4 characters in a request, you can only match to someone who offers them all, even if you’ve indicated in the additional tags that you’re happy with any one of them. If there are 4 or fewer characters nominated, and you’d be happy with a story about any of them, selecting no characters gives you the widest range of matches.
If you select no characters in a request, that means your writer may write about any nominated character or about the fandom world in general. Please only do this when you'd genuinely be happy with a story about any nominated character, or the world.
Please either comment logged-in or sign a name. Unsigned anonymous comments will be left screened.

seasonsofdrabbles- Like always, for the next 12 hours, people can contact us to add to their signups. This is intended for people who may have run into the character tagset bug when signing up close to the deadline, or whose nominations were approved late. However, anyone may ask to have characters/fandoms added to their requests or offers. If you would like us to add to your signup, please post on the screened mod contact post or email us at seasonsofdrabbles@gmail.com. Please make sure to include your AO3 username.
- After that window has closed, we will check the matching and send out emails to anyone who is unmatchable on offers. They will be given 24 hours to respond.
- Barring unexpected delays, assignments will go out before the end of Wednesday, October 22.
As you wait for assignments to go out, please feel free to check out the app to browse requests and start writing!
