wwxfans | Wei Wuxian Prompt Fest

Dear WWX fans,

it is August 18th and we are live!

Join us in the 2024 Pledge Edition of our yearly WWX Fans Prompt Fest, now running in the third year.

We are coming together as a community of creators who plan to work on Wei Wuxian-centric fanworks in the period up to Wei Wuxian's birthday, and encourage and support one another in our endeavors.

How does it work?

You go to Pledges Thread and announce your Wei Wuxian-centric project that you will be working on in the run-up to his birthday. This can be any media or sort of fanwork, not just fic or art. Podcasts, bookbinding, fannish recipes, the world's your oyster! Any and all ships, dynamics, adaptations welcome.
You can start a new project, pledge to finish a WIP, or to complete the next chapter/the next stage of your project, it's all up to you. Works created for both this abnd other fan events are welcome, too. The only rule is that it has to be about Wei Wuxian.
Posting at any point until October 31st is fine, we just ask you to complete your pledged goal by October 31st, Wei Wuxian's birthday. Once you are done, report your success here!

Why should you commit?

Along with letting you share your initial pledge here, we will put up posts here and on social media where you can share your progress.
We also have the hashtag #wwxbdaypledge so fellow creators can find your social media posts/tweets about your project.
We are hoping for creators to encourage and support one another as they work on their various birthday gifts. We believe that having a specific goal to work towards to and fellow fans to work alongside can help with creativity.
At the end of the event, we are going to create a spreadsheet collecting the links to your works (provided you agreed to be included in the wrap-up.)

But it's called a Prompt Fest, where are the prompts?

While we don't require you to create for someone else's prompt this year, you are still welcome to optionally pick a prompt from the Prompts Thread here.

If you'd like to help spread the word, you can find our promo posts on Tumblr Twitter Bsky

It's Wei Wuxian's birthday! Here is where you can tell us about your success, and give us a link to your fanworks!

I pledged for a new chapter entrapped harmony and/or Lingchi + research for a 40k fusion fic.

I didn't get around to the research, but I do have a new chapter of Lingchi to show off!

Here it is, Lingchi chapter 13 for Wei Wuxian's birthday! https://archiveofourown.org/works/40190577/chapters/153636874

I promised one of a few things! But not this thing. But I really thought this was one of the things I pledged, and it's what I finished. XD

WWX and Sizhui talk about forgiveness, and resentment, and how to let things go.

Spooky and I pledged to start and finish a wangxian webcomic, and here it is!

No account required to read, optimized for mobile.

I'd pledged to finish at least one of my WWX-centric WIPs and I did it. One fic is finished and is going through beta right now, but the first chapter is ready and has been posted!

Nomme here! I pledged to finish my wangxian romcom and complete a oneshot, and I did! (The romcom will be posting for two more weeks, but it is done.) ☺️

They can be found here:

The pledge was to myself alone, but, three minutes before AO3’s midnight GMT deadline, I finally broke a five-year hiatus:

On Wei Wuxian and that “Mysterious Book In A Mysterious Cave By A Mysterious Master™”; note that this scenario is novel-specific: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60220897

Heyo it’s storm/Tori, maybe it seems like I’m a bit late I hope I’m not, it’s still the 31st in my time zone I had pledged writing a fic about vampire lwj and dhampir wwx. I had to make changes in the last moment and rush it a bit. It turned out as something interesting and completely different yet I feel satisfied :)
Just out of the oven hehe
