Dear WWX fans,
it is August 18th and we are live!
Join us in the 2024 Pledge Edition of our yearly WWX Fans Prompt Fest, now running in the third year.
We are coming together as a community of creators who plan to work on Wei Wuxian-centric fanworks in the period up to Wei Wuxian's birthday, and encourage and support one another in our endeavors.
How does it work?
- You go to Pledges Thread and announce your Wei Wuxian-centric project that you will be working on in the run-up to his birthday. This can be any media or sort of fanwork, not just fic or art. Podcasts, bookbinding, fannish recipes, the world's your oyster! Any and all ships, dynamics, adaptations welcome.
- You can start a new project, pledge to finish a WIP, or to complete the next chapter/the next stage of your project, it's all up to you. Works created for both this abnd other fan events are welcome, too. The only rule is that it has to be about Wei Wuxian.
- Posting at any point until October 31st is fine, we just ask you to complete your pledged goal by October 31st, Wei Wuxian's birthday. Once you are done, report your success here!
Why should you commit?
- Along with letting you share your initial pledge here, we will put up posts here and on social media where you can share your progress.
- We also have the hashtag #wwxbdaypledge so fellow creators can find your social media posts/tweets about your project.
- We are hoping for creators to encourage and support one another as they work on their various birthday gifts. We believe that having a specific goal to work towards to and fellow fans to work alongside can help with creativity.
- At the end of the event, we are going to create a spreadsheet collecting the links to your works (provided you agreed to be included in the wrap-up.)
But it's called a Prompt Fest, where are the prompts?
- While we don't require you to create for someone else's prompt this year, you are still welcome to optionally pick a prompt from the Prompts Thread here.
If you'd like to help spread the word, you can find our promo posts on Tumblr Twitter Bsky

artemis1000Hello WWX fans,
Are you looking forward to Wei Wuxian's birthday? We sure are, and we have come up with a twist on our usual Prompt Fest this year. This year, we invite you to bring your own prompts (or adopt one) for the Pledge Edition of our event, which is focused on the fun of community spirit and mutual support as we go about creating our respective birthday gifts.
So what's this about?
- Starting August 18th, we will have a Pledge Post up where you can announce a Wei Wuxian-centric project you want to work on in the run-up to his birthday. This can be any media, not just fic or art. Podcasts, bookbinding, fannish recipes, the world's your oyster!
- You can start a new project, pledge to finish a WIP, or to complete the next chapter/the next stage of your project, it's all up to you. Works created for both this and other fan events are welcome, too. The only rule is that it has to be about Wei Wuxian.
- Posting at any point in September or October is fine, we just ask you to complete your pledged goal by October 31st, Wei Wuxian's birthday.
Why should you commit?
Along with the initial Pledge Post, we will put up posts here and on social media where you can share your progress. We will also establish the hashtag #wwxbdaypledge so fellow creators can find your social media posts/tweets about your project. We are hoping for creators to encourage and support one another as they work on their various birthday gifts.
No prompts, none at all?
Not quite! We will provide a Prompt Sharing Post, and would love to see you share or adopt prompts from it, it's simply optional this year. You're also very welcome to take a look at the prompts from our past events.
Why kick off so early on August 18th?
It's Hungry Ghost Festival! Themed works not required, but Hungry Ghost-themed pledges made on the 18th will get extra awesomeness points from us.
