Every August we will post a new list of 31 prompts, which writers can fill in any way they want to.

1. All fandoms and ships are welcomed. So is original content. These prompts are for everyone to fill with whatever they want to write! Which also means: No bashing/attacking people.

2. NSFW content is allowed, but please tag it accordingly!

3. For writers with an AO3 account, we made an AO3 collection that you can submit your work into! It’s not a requirement to post your work on tumblr; likewise is it not required to post on AO3. One of them is enough!

4. All works submitted on tumblr whave should be tagged with #writersmonth2020 or else we can’t reblog it!

5. There is no word count limit, minimum or maximum. Write a drabble or a novel, whatever you feel inspired for.

6. Everyone who completes the entire prompt challenge receives a badge!

7. As of 2020, the rules for marking down full fills have changed: instead of the mods tracking progress through tags, after you completed all you managed this month (not necessarily all 31 prompts), you need to make a masterpost with all works linked - if there are 31 fills done and linked in the masterpost, we will know to get you the special badge! If not, you still get the participation certificate. The masterpost has to be tagged #writersmonth2020.

If there are any further questions, feel free to ask and we’d happily clear anything up!
