Okay guys, here are the prompts for August. Remember: you can submit for one prompt, or all prompts, or just a couple, or you can submit more than one fic for a single prompt if you want! It’s all about having fun and writing fic.

This month’s prompts are all about exploring aspects of the Grimm world and its characters that we know very little about. Thanks to @angel-starbeam for the first three prompts!

Week One (August 5-11)
A World of Trubel: She walked out of the night and into our hearts in season three, and it seems like the Grimm fandom can never get enough of her ever since. But two years later, there’s still so much we don’t know! This week is dedicated to writing fic about Trubel; what does she think? How does she feel? Where does she go when she leaves Portland, and what happens? What was her life like before she met Nick and the team?

Week Two (August 12-18)

Whatever Happened To _____? Nick has encountered a lot of Wesen over the years, and even helped one or two of them. Where are they now? What have they been up to since?

Week Three (August 19-25)
Dianathon! Diana has become one of the most powerful characters on the show in a very short amount of time. She’s a game-changer; a terrifying, adorable little game-changer with really creepy dolls. And how could we not want to know more about this little nugget of destruction? This is the week for all your Diana fics.

Week Four (August 26-September 1)
A Grimm Legacy: The history of the Grimms goes waaaaay back, and we’ve gotten bits and pieces of it from what Nick’s read in his family’s books. But it’s never enough. Where did the Grimms and their powers even come from? How did the first Grimm feel the first time they saw a Wesen woge? What was Great-Great-Grandmother Hilda up to with that awesome dagger back in her day? More recently, did Kelly and Marie have any adventures as young Grimms? The possibilities are endless.

Don’t forget: post your fic as a text post or link and tag your submissions with grimmsummerficathon2016 and the number of the week you’re writing for! You can also post to our AO3 Collection.

Here are the prompts for July. Remember: you can submit for only one prompt, or all prompts, or just a couple, or you can submit more than one fic for a single prompt if you want! It’s all about having fun with writing fic.

The theme for this month is ships! Each week will be a different ship-related theme.

Week One (July 1-7)
Canon Couples! Any couple who’s relationship is canon or was canon. Monrosalee? Silverhardt? Fair game! Lasseroe? Madalind (Meisner/Adalind)? Absolutely!

Week Two (July 8-14)
Slash Couples! All your favorite slash couples, show them some love. Wuffin, Rosette, Monhardt, Griffinhardt…those are just a few examples! Maybe you shipped Adalind with her old friend Selena? Or Renard with Sebastien? Write about it!

Week Three (July 15-21)
Rarepairs and Crack Ships! Remember the cute mermaid girl and the guy who played Mike Newton in Twilight? Because I sure do. Whether it’s two characters who’ve never met, who’ve barely interacted, or who just don’t get a lot of ship love but are so canon it hurts…this is the week for them!

Week Four (July 22-28)
OT3s! My personal favorite has always been Monrosehardt. Or maybe Monrosette. But there are so many to choose from!

Here they are, Grimmsters! The prompts for June. Remember: you can submit for only one prompt, or all prompts, or just a couple, or you can submit more than one fic for a single prompt if you want! It’s all about having fun and writing fic.

Week One (June 3-9)
What’s next? Start with the final moments of season five. What happens? Where do Nick and Renard go from here? How does Trubel react to the realization that Juliette is back? Where does that tunnel lead?

Week Two (June 10-16)
Fix-It Fic! No matter how hard they try, the writers can’t please everybody. There will always be fans who wish the story had gone another way. So take one thing that happened in season five that you hated, and fix it!

Week Three (June 17-23)
Role Reversal. Take any character and make them switch sides. Are they a bad guy in canon? Now they’re a good guy. Are they a hero in canon? Now they’re the villain.

Week Four (June 24-30)
Crossover AU. Pick a ‘verse, any ‘verse! Traditional crossovers as well as fusions welcome.

Greeting Grimmsters!

The Grimm Summer Ficathon starts in just two days, so here are some finalized guidelines for you to keep in mind as you get ready to post some amazing stories. For future reference, you can find this and other relevant Ficathon information in the links on our Keeping the Hiatus Grimm page.

How It Works

Throughout the summer, FYNB will be accepting prompt ideas for the ficathon. Please submit your prompt ideas to the ask box. Submissions can be anonymous, but if you would like to get credit for your prompt, submit it publicly or sign your ask with the name you prefer to be given credit under.

On the first Friday of each month, I will post a list of prompts: one for each week in that month. From the moment the prompts are posted, the ficathon is on!

Fics may be posted anywhere. However, in order for fics to be reblogged to FYNB, they must be posted to tumblr as a text post or link post and tagged grimmsummerficathon2016 along with the number of the week (for instance, week 1).

In order for your submission to show up in the tag, it must be among the first five tags on your post.

I have also created a collection on AO3.

At the end of each seven-day period, I will check the tag and start queueing up submissions to be reblogged to FYNB.

Rules

  1. Only submissions posted and tagged according to the guidelines above will be reblogged.
  2. Do not send an ask, submission, or fanmail of your fic or a link to your fic directly to FYNB. Any such submissions will be deleted immediately.
  3. Absolutely no fics that depict sexual situations involving underage individuals will be allowed in the AO3 collection or reblogged to FYNB.
  4. Please tag your submissions as thoroughly as possible for characters, ships, and content. This will aid us in the reblogging process.
  5. Under no circumstances should you post or submit someone else’s work as your own.

FYNB admins reserve the right to refrain from reblogging any work that violates these rules on FYNB, or remove it from the collection on AO3.

If you have questions, check out our hiatus page for more info or send us an ask!
