Starting in December and going through to January, we're running a chilled out kind of writing and art challenge to celebrate Tanthamore, the rest of the Willow gang, and to get us all through the end of this year and the start of the next.
Stay tuned for more info, including prompt lists, mood boards and a bunch of new fics and fanart!

Winterfest Rules
Tanthamore Winterfest is a two month long event full of writing and art prompts based around the pairing Kit Tanthalos/Jade Claymore from Willow, brought to you by the makers of @tanthamoretober. The goal is to have some chill, flexible reasons to write during the months of December and January. This challenge also encompasses other characters and pairings within the Willow universe.
How does it work?
You create fan content inspired by one of the prompts and post it during the challenge period, which starts December 1, 2023 and ends January 31, 2024. You can do one shots or string the prompts together for a multi-chapter fic, and all types of fan content are welcome: art, fic, vids, fan mixes, rec lists, meta, memes.
What prompts?
We have multiple types of prompts, and you can choose what inspires you best. There are four lists of text-based tables, and three moodboards in case visual prompts speak to you more. You can pick and choose from any of these and interpret them any way you like.
Text prompts: Masterlist
Text-based: Out in the Cold
Text-based: In From The Cold
Text-based: Summer Edition
Text-based: Dialogue
Moodboards: Masterlist
Why are there summer prompts in a winter fic challenge?
Because some people live in New Zealand, okay? Or other places. Apparently there's a whole hemisphere where December and January are summer months, and if you're not feeling wintery at this time of year we don't want that to hold you back from participating!
How do I share my cool stuff?
Add it to the Winterfest collection on AO3!
(Use the ‘Post to collection’ button, or see How do I add work to a collection for more info.)
On tumblr, use the tag 'tanthamorewinterfest’ so others can find it (as well as any relevant content/pairing/prompt tags.) You can also tag this blog, and we’ll reblog things throughout the month.
Does it have to be Tanthamore?
It doesn’t! You can create things for any prompt with any character or characters from Willow, you can write different pairings, you can do whatever you want forever. Just make sure that your fics are tagged appropriately!
Can it be any rating?
Yes absolutely! Write the most E-rated thing your little heart desires, just tag it as such so readers can decide for themselves.
Can it be any length?
Sure! There is no minimum or maximum word limit.
Does it have to be canon?
Nope - it can be canon, canon-divergent, or any kind of AU you would like to write!
Does it have to be finished?
Nope, not at all. If one of the prompts inspires you to start a long fic, you are still totally welcome to add it to the collection during December-January and carry on working on it after the challenge is over. We will close the collection after the challenge is complete (probably sometime in the first week of February) but you can continue adding chapters to anything you have already added.
If you have any other questions, just send us a message :)
