since it’s Valentine’s Day soon, i thought we could share a little love around the fandom!
submit drabbles (100 words), drabble sequences/collections, short one-shots, art, or Valentine’s Day cards for any consenting adult ship on the general theme of Valentine’s Day or anything romance-related!
here are some prompts to help if you’re stuck on what to write or draw!
romantic getaway
stolen moments
by candlelight
a magical evening
sweet treats
the perfect gift
mystery admirer
alternatively, try my tww prompt generator for more specific prompts! there are some Valentine’s Day ones in there, but many could work for this!
post your fics/art to the AO3 collection or share with the hashtag #twwvalentines preferably by Valentine’s Day, but any time in February will do!
Ada and Hecate find themselves working late on New Year’s Eve. Just a short fluffy piece I threw together, since it seemed like we could all use something nice and gentle right now.
A: A remix tells someone else’s story anew. The same characters/pairing and basic plot but anything else is up to you! Ever read a story and thought “What does this other character think of all this?” or “I really wish we saw this thing that’s happening offscreen”? In a remix, you can explore that! This particular challenge focuses on Hackle (Ada Cackle/Hecate Hardbroom). You can explore all the lovely works previously created for this challenge here.
Q: Who can take part?
A: The main challenge is a gift exchange. To sign up for that, you need to have published at least five complete fics of 100 words or more, either Hackle or gen focusing on Hecate and/or Ada. This is so the person assigned to remix you has something to work with.
If you haven’t written that much but would be interested in being remixed, sign up for Hackle Remix Treats and maybe your fic will inspire someone! If you aren’t interested in being remixed but you would like to write a remix or create another type of fanwork based on participants’ fic, there is no need to sign up: just submit your work to the Hackle Remix Treats collection.
If you’re not up for deadlines or obligations right now but would like to participate in some way, Hackle Remix Treats is for you!
Q: When is it?
A: Sign-ups are open now! Sign-ups for the main challenge close 8am (BST) Monday 27th September. Stories for the main challenge are due by 8pm (BST) Monday 25th October. Fanworks in both the main challenge collection and the Hackle Remix Treats collection will be revealed by 3pm (BST) Saturday 30th October. Creators will be revealed a week later.
In which the characters experience a kiss by accident.

This is a challenge to create tropey Hackle (Ada Cackle/Hecate Hardbroom) fanworks! Basically, create a Hackle fanwork that uses this trope (any type of fanwork, any style, any setting, any length, any spin on the trope, any anything!), post it to Tumblr when it’s done, and tag it #hackle summer trope challenge. You are also welcome to add fanworks to the AO3 collection. That’s pretty much it! For a bit more detail, see HERE.

Hecate Hardbroom likes elephants a lot better than she likes people, until she meets Ada Cackle, and finds herself drawn to Ada’s passion for educating the public about birds of prey.
Characters celebrate the summer solstice (an event that celebrates the onset of summer and the longest day of the year when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky) in some way.

The challenge has now ended! Huge congratulations to everyone who took part!
I’ll be posting the Roll of Honour soon, listing everyone who posted something for the challenge, so please let me know ASAP if I have missed one of your fanworks out/put it in the incorrect trope/credited you incorrectly/etc!
(Fanworks with a * are listed for more than one trope!)
Here we are my completed storyboards which were so much fun to do.
I have called it ‘A Gift for Ada’ where Miss Hardbroom struggling to find a gift for Ada decides to let her Softbroom side come free once more which leads to a very interesting gift.
A small one-shot to coincide with the boards can be read under the cut.
After weeks of not drawing It felt good to do this little sketch. I will go back and colour and tidy it at a later date, but I quite like how it is at the moment. ♀️
