On May 15th, we will be releasing the prompt’s list! And we are excited to tell you that, this year’s list will look a little bit different than last years. Rather than having 30 word-based prompts, there will be a some dialogue prompts mixed in there as well.
We spent hours creating this upcoming prompt list, and can’t wait to share it with you! But, to hold you over, we thought we might go ahead and share a few of the prompts that didn’t make the cut (and why). We’ll call them the ‘Wild Card’ prompts.
1. ‘Are You Trying to Reenact That Scene From The Exorcist, Or Should I Go Ahead and Call a Doctor?’ (too long)
2. ‘You Have to Carry Me! I’m Dying!!’ ‘You’re Literally Two Feet From the Bed’ (also too long)
3. Medication Hesitation (hey look! it rhymes!)
4. ‘I’m Pretty Sure Someone Needs to Check My Pee’ (started as a joke. ended as a 'no.’)

I’m honestly not sure why you lovely bunch would do so, but I’m an truly grateful all the same.
I’m sending Henry sized hugs and kisses to all of you.
After being inspired by many of my super talented friends in the fandom. I’ve decided for the first time EVER in the long time I’ve been writing in various websites and fandoms to OPEN my requests in a special writing event, to celebrate the milestone.
Rules are simple - send me anASK requesting a country song and a character and I’ll see what the combination inspires me to write. It might be fluffy, might be funny, flirty, sad or it might be smutty who knows.
I’ll try to take on most requests but can’t guarantee I’ll find inspiration in all of them.
I’m thinking of doing 10 one shots in total, but I won’t give a word limit as I never abide by them !.
There is a 2 week deadline and I’ll either finish taking requests on 10th June 2022, or before if I have enough requests and inspiration.
Here’s a small sample songs so you can get a feel for the songs and artists I’m familiar with. Although requests are of course not limited to these -
Cowboys and Kisses - Anastasia
Cowboy Casanova - Carrie Underwood
Dancin’ Away With My Heart- Lady A
Black Roses - Clare Bowen
You’re Still The One - Shania Twain
I Need You - LeAnn Rimes
Anything from Nashville TV series or from any of the artist above back catalogue, along with any other country songs you may wish to suggest are welcome, but please bare in mind I’m a 90s kid so anything pre 98 might be a bit of a struggle .
Characters you can request are as follows,
the man himself ,
Henry Cavill
Walter Marshall
Captain Syverson
August Walker
Will Shaw
Charles Brandon
Clark Kent / Superman
Sherlock Holmes
Geralt of Rivia
If you are one of my wonderful 200 followers, get your cowgirl/boy and boots on and send me an ASK with your request.
Thank you for all the kindness and support

For this year’s Secret Valentien project by @btscreatorscorner I was assigned the lovely @sunshinerainbowsbts so hereby I present my gift to you, Sunny (Even if its a little late).
The sun had truly shown itself from its better side today, having peeked through the clouds ever since the early morning hours and warming the chilled winter air. Maybe it too understood the importance of this day. Well, the importance it held for some.
And even though this was easily the day your boutique made most of its earnings, you could not help but dread the day. In itself, the day was hectic at best, but the days up to it were just as chaotic because of all the preparations you had to do. It was also the reason why you were currently running on minimal amounts of sleep.
Fortunately for you, the amount of customers seemed to be decreasing ever so slowly, making it possible for you to finally take a small break. Your tired legs almost buckled under you as you leaned against the counter, eyes darting around the shop.
Finally alone.
“What a day…” you sighed, closing your eyes only for them to shoot open in shock when you suddenly heard the all too familiar sound of the chime on top of the door, warning you that someone had entered the shop. You straightened your back and looked over at the door, but there was no one there.
Maybe, your mind was playing tricks on you? It would not be the first time nor would it be the last time it had done so. But that thought was shot down when your ears picked up on footsteps coming toward you. The steps were hesitant and came to a sudden stop, you held your breath; Fear striking.
Seconds passed before you heard a whimper, immediately you jumped up from the chair and rushed toward the sound. Your eyes darted around, trying to locate the source of the noise. However, it seemed that the source itself had other plans because as you stepped around the counter, something or rather someone tugged at your pant leg.
Chubby fingers clung to the fabric of your pants, their snotty little nose buried in your leg and big doe and teary eyes looking up at you like you held the answers to the world.
“A-app-” The child hiccupped, pressing themself even further onto you.
Without even thinking, you had swiped the child up into your arms and started to comfort them. “Shhh, I am right here,” you murmured, your voice soothing and soft while caressing their hair to provide the comfort they so desperately needed.
As the sobs subsided, the child pulled back and looked at you. Finally, you took the time to look over the child; A mop of dark hair paired with big doe eyes, a cute little button nose sprinkled with freckles and chubby cheeks that matched the chubby legs and arms every child that age should have. They wore a beige dress with small hearts on.
A beautiful little girl.
“Hey there pretty little lady”
The girl let out a squeak and pressed her head into your chest again. You could not help but giggle. A few seconds went by before she peaked up at you from her ‘hiding’ spot.
“Appa.. no appa,” she stuttered, falling over her words in her attempt to communicate with you. You nodded your head knowingly, understanding what she tried to tell you. Your eyes flicked over to the shop windows, but were only met with the darkness from outside.
A sigh passed your lips; this was going to be difficult.
“Would you like some chocolate milk?” you asked, already moving toward the machine as the girl started nodding her head rapidly. Another giggle passed your lips at how cute she looked, her hair tossing around her head and a little pout on her lips.
You settled the girl on the counter and gave her a cup. She wrapped both of her hands around it, moving it up toward her lips before taking a big sip. When she moved the cup away, she let out an ‘ah!” while smacking her lips.
“Does the pretty little lady have a name?”
“Yejun” She answered proudly, puffing out her chest.
“Hello Yejun” you said and introduced yourself, offering your hand to her with a smile. She took your hand into her much smaller one and gave it a light squeeze before going back to sipping on her chocolate milk.
Yejun seemed much more at ease with her chocolate milk in hand even though her father was still missing. Luckily enough it was not long before your eyes caught sight of a frantic looking man outside of the shop windows. The two of you locked eyes for only a split second before his eyes flicked to the child in front of you.
“Yejun! Thank God!” The man ripped open the door and ran toward Yejun, who was making grabby hands toward the man while crying “appa”.
He frantically pulled Yejun into his arms and held her against him tightly for a few moments, before sitting her down on the counter again: “Are you okay?” he was fidgeting over her, feeling and searching for anything that might not have been there before their sudden separation.
Fortunately, he found nothing.
He heaved a sigh of relief and planted a kiss on her forehead, then he turned around to face you.
“Thank you so much for finding Yejun!” He thanked you before beginning to ramble about how she had suddenly disappeared from one moment to another.
You could not help but notice that Yejun’s dad was just as handsome as she was cute. She had inherited his dark hair and cute button nose, but what really made your knees bent was the gummy smile he showed as he looked at his child.
“I understand. Children are hard work, but Yejun has been nothing but an angel,” you assured the man with a gentle touch on his arm.
His eyes lightened up when you complimented his child, chest filling with pride that even in such a highly emotional situation his little girl had been polite.
“Still..-” He started but stopped when Yejun tugged at his shirt, the man bending down toward her and she whispered something into his ear. He let out a soft ‘ah’ before straightening himself up.
This time when he looked at you, you could not help but notice the light glint he had in his dark eyes.
“Can Yejun and I invite you out for a cup of coffee?” He asked confidently. However, the sudden confidence seemed to diminish as fast as it had come when you did not reply immediately. “Of course only if-”
You touched his arm, making him halter in his sentence. You gave him a shy smile.
“That sounds wonderful, let me just close the shop.”
I choose the prompt: Kid playing matchmaker because who isn’t a sucker for diff BTS?
The party will take place in a penthouse event center. The space is dim, dappled with blue and gold lights and warmly filled with chatter and music. Drinks are free. Hor d'oeuvres are free. Everything comes with the price of admission. That price is your invite. Nothing more.
The Plot:
But there’s always a few strings attached. This is a whumper’s party. It is designed for whumpers to attend with the purpose of networking and/or finding a new whumpee to toy with. A myriad of whumpees will be invited. All vulnerable and relatively unattached - beckoned in with the promise of new relationships and free food.
The Code:
As proof of admission, each attendee will be given a glowstick to wear as a bracelet for the duration of the party. Everyone is given blue as default. As a whumper, you must ask for a red glowstick instead. Upon asking, the admissions attendant will hand you red instead from a hidden bin. This system should make whumpees easily identifiable for easier targeting.
The Rules:
Feel free to hurt and/or take any whumpee you would like - that’s what they’re there for. Simply do your very best not to cause a scene. Best to not ruin the ambiance for anyone else still on the hunt, hm?
Enjoy the party~
WRITING RULES:
Alright, here’s the breakdown for bloggers.
Your Objective:
Write a scene in this setting! That’s all. It can be a nameless drabble, an oc, or even a self-insert. Wherever your heart leads you. Follow the rules listed above on the fictional side of things, and the rules listed below on the technical side. Of course, if you’d rather do artwork or playlists, or another medium, feel free! Everyone is welcome! There is no deadline for this event, write anytime!
.
Invites:
Feel free to reblog and tag anyone you think would enjoy the event with this invite link. More preferable, however, is to send an ask - then it’s like getting a real invite in the mail. Drop the invitation photo and/or image transcript into someone’s ask box to request they write a scene.
.
Tagging:
Be sure to give proper trigger warnings where appropriate and tag them as such. Tag @the-whumpers-soiree in each post you make so I can properly add you to the masterlist and reblog the content. Finally, use the hashtag #the-whumpers-soiree or #the-whumpers’-soirée so others can find your content.
.
Asks:
Feel free to send any questions you have to this blog (@the-whumpers-soiree). Whether it’s about the whumper rules, the event rules, or any generic question - I’m here to help.
.
Have fun, lovelies! I can’t wait to see what you create. -Sand

Welcome to the first annual Draco’s Den Return to the Castle Fest! With school starting right around the corner, the admin team wanted to celebrate the return to school with a fest featuring some of our favorite Slytherins.
We have selected three characters to feature for this event who don’t always get a lot of love. Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, and Theodore Nott will be celebrated with this event this year!
Since Draco’s Den is hosting this event, the main character must be one of the following characters: Blaise Zabini, Theodore Nott, or Pansy Parkinson, but there are no restrictions on pairings. You may even choose to write a crossover or fandom fusion. Stories may also feature characters in a platonic/friendship style relationship.
THEME:
You must incorporate the theme of returning to the castle somehow into your story. This can be a lighthearted story or it can be full of angst, as long as the story is tagged appropriately.
Additionally, your story must follow the guidelines depicted in the Den Rules Form. No stories containing Underage Smut, Pedophilia, Cannibalism, or Necrophilia will be approved to the collection.
Rules:
By signing up with this form, you are stating you will be participating. You will not be submitting prompts, but you will submit your possible pairing. See below for the timeline. You will receive an email confirmation of your pairing, as well as submission information on July 31st.
FIC LENGTH:
The recommended length of the fics will be between 2k-7k words. If you have an issue maintaining this request you must talk to the admin in charge of the event. We did up the minimum word count for the event as this is now a fest rather than an exchange and you are able to create your own prompt.
We ask you to keep this to a mini or one-shot type of fic, but If you choose to expand your story later, you may do so. Stories can be broken into parts/chapters.
*If your fic is going to exceed 7k, you must notify us and your deadline will still be August 29th.*
One-for-one:This is not a collaborative effort. Only one author may write and post the story that they have written for the prompt submitted.
If there is something you are unsure of that you do not see listed here, please ask. We would rather answer the question than have to reject your story because you did not ask ahead of time.
