Songs of Journey

This was a lot of fun the first time we did (2023, my how the years go by!), so why don't we do it again?

That's right, we're throwing ANOTHER adult-oriented prompt fest, over at AO3:

Narnia Spring Bacchanal Prompt Meme 2026

I mean, we've all read Prince Caspian. Bacchanals are canon, after all. ;)

Think about a kinkmeme and you've got the right idea. In this one, we're looking for adult-oriented fic: "Adult-oriented" covers sexually explicit, violent, horror, and dark fic of all stripes.

The prompt fest is a little looser than the NFE -- fills must be 300 words instead of 1000, you can submit up to 25 prompts, you can claim as many as you want, multiple people can fill the same prompt, there's no tag set, crossovers and fusion-fics are allowed! Only two real rules: 1) you must be over 18 to participate and 2) fills should be adult-oriented, so think the AO3 ratings of Explicit and Mature.

Prompting is going to open Friday, March 20th. Here's the schedule:

Prompting period: March 20th to March 30th
Prompt claiming period: March 31st to April 7th
Fics due date: May 1st
Fic reveals: May 2nd
Author reveals: May 9th


Some things to keep in mind!

1) Multiple prompts are allowed, but only one prompt at a time! If you would like to prompt Susan/Caspian, and Lucy/Sea Girl, prompt them separately. Unless you want a Susan/Caspian/Lucy/Sea Girl orgy, then prompt them together (of course you want that, who doesn't?)

2) No judgment! Remember: YKINMKATOK -- you don't have to be into the pairing/prompt/whatever, but please keep that to yourself.

3) Prompts are set to be Anonymous by default, but you are welcome to put them under your name if you'd like any fills to be gifted to you!

4) You can link to music/pictures/videos for inspiration in your prompt form.

5) You can prompt multiple fandoms and multiple characters in your prompt form, but again, each prompt is an individual prompt. So if you list seven different fandoms and 10 characters from all those fandoms, the prompt has to encompass that -- it can't be "I would like A/B from Narnia OR A/C from Narnia/His Dark Materials OR A/B/C from Narnia/The West Wing/Bridgerton." Those are all different prompts and should be submitted separately.

6) Here's the AO3 FAQ on prompt memes, which should answer some technical questions:

7) Because we don't use a tag set for this, you can't request "any" character. Here's the workaround: for character, select "original Narnian character(s)" and for relationship, select "original male character/original male character" or "original non-human character/original non-binary character" or "original female character/original female character" (OR ALL THREE, THE HEART WANTS WHAT THE HEART WANTS) and then clarify what you want in the prompt!

This is NOT replacing the Narnia Fic Exchange this year. The NFE will be held this summer as always!
