🍂 🍃 Hello and welcome to our third annual Flufftober 🍂 🍃
We’re so excited to be back and to once again have you here!
As always, let’s fill the month of October with as much fluff as possible 🥰 and for that to happen, we not only have 31 prompts for you, no; we also have something special this year...
Prompt Extras
Last year's Prompt Substitutes were very well-loved and a lot of you used them to replace some prompts from the original list. You're more than welcome to do this again if there's a prompt that doesn't work for you for whatever reason - no explanation needed.
Once again, we offer you last year's top five fan favorites (as voted in the end survey). In addition to that, we also offer five scenario prompts.
If you don't want to replace any prompt from the original list but still love the additional ones - or you simply want to challenge yourself - you can also mix them all together!
So in whichever way you use these Prompt Extras, have fun with them and go wild 💚
Below the cut you'll find all our rules, posting info, all the prompts in writing, as well as some explanation for prompts we feel might need clarification. If you have any more questions, please feel free to send us an ask 🥰
We hope you like these prompts, and now
Happy Creating 🥳
Standard Blog Rules & FAQ
No inc*st or p*dophilia - we can’t keep you from writing it or creating art for it but it won’t be reblogged. See further down for clarification.
No hate or ship bashing - we’re all different and we all love different things. As long as it doesn’t go against rule #1, it’s allowed.
Tag correctly! Trigger warnings (including cheating!), ships, ratings, (pure) smut, etc - it’s all fine as long as you tag it.
There’s absolutely no word count restriction, write as little or as much as you like.
In regards to art, anything goes: drawings, paintings, collages, mood boards, gifsets, videos, playlists… the sky’s the limit (though not really…)
While we can’t force you to write fluff or create fluffy art, please try to keep in mind that this is a fluff event 😉
You can start writing and/or arting as soon as you see this - but please refrain from posting before the respective day.
You can participate on as many days as you like, even if it’s just one; you can also create multiple entries for the same day.
You can replace prompts from the original list with either or all of our prompt extras; you can also mix them with the original prompts or create for them in addition to the 31 original prompts, that's completely up to you.
It’s okay to write one story/a series for all the prompts as long as it’s separated into chapters and the respective chapter/work is posted on the given day.
You do not have to stick to one ship or even one fandom - switch as often as you like to or even write for multiple ships for one day.
The ship does not have to be a romantic one! Friendship and family feels are more than welcome (but this is not a way to get around rule #1!)
This event can be combined with other events as long as the other event allows it.
Late entries are always welcome, even if it is months later.
All fandoms and ships are welcome - fanon and canon - as long as they’re of age (in case you want to add smut) and not related.
Since this has often been asked in previous years, please let us clarify the no inc*st or p*dophilia rule:
No inc*st: This rule does not apply to distant cousins and such, as you might find in the LotR fandom (or basically in all of European Monarchy). The line we draw is at direct blood relations (siblings, parents, kids) and/or legal guardianship.
No p*dophilia: This rule does not rule out fandoms that feature teenagers such as Harry Potter, Heartstoppers, Hunger Games, etc. It also doesn't mean you can't write about their time together as teenagers! It was mostly aimed at ships in which one is a minor and the other is not - but since even that got complicated over time, the rule is now this: if you keep it SFW, all is good and allowed, we don't care; if it turns NSFW, be mindful of the legalaties of the world/society/times your characters live in.
Posting
Posting to tumblr
Please use the tag #flufftober2023
Since tags are sometimes wonky, make sure to also add @flufftober in your post
We will try to catch them all, but please don't be mad if we miss a post or if it gets reblogged a bit late
If you're absolutely certain a post has slipped past us, feel free to send an ask with the link to your post
To make reblogging easier for us, make sure to add the following tags: #flufftober2023 #day [xy] #[fandom] #[ship and/or main character(s)]
If you're using a prompt extra tag it as #alt [number]
Posting to ao3
You can add your creation to the collection flufftober2023 or flufftober_2023 (yes, we've once again claimed both)
Late entries are always welcome, on tumblr as well as the ao3 collection! Neither will close - but like always, reblogs will become less regular the more months have passed...

2. Family, Friends, Loved Ones

Mystery in Tauri - Chapter 1 - No Good Deed
WIP INTRO - ZODIAC CHRONICLES - Book 1 - Mystery in Tauri
Genre: Epic Fantasy
A land slowly turned infertile has caused increasing suffering to the small village that sits on it. Overhunting and overfishing have reduced the wildlife, and the food supply diminishes more every day. The old doctor, an integral and required member of every village, fell victim to the troubles affecting the land. The new doctor, requested by the Mayor, comes bearing promises of repairing the land and solving all their ills. Ever since, more and more people have gotten sick and disappear upon seeing the Doctor. These issues left Tristan’s land unbothered, blessed by the magic of his mother before her death. He tends the trees she loved so much in life and cares for his blind father alone, his family hated for something in his mother’s past. After a classmate’s father gets injured on a hunt, Tristan discovers an intruder in his land. A young man. Worried that the intruder is the culprit and his family will be implicated, he investigates the hunting incident alongside the Mayor’s Daughter. She is the heir to the Mayorship and intends to start her education in leadership by solving the issues plaguing her village. The young man that intruded on Tristan’s land turns out to be full of surprises, not the least of which is a skill in stealth that allows him to acquire knowledge of the Mayor’s dubious meetings with the Doctor.

Reblog this if you're a writeblr and you wouldnt mind:
Random asks about your wips
Being tagged in tag games by people you don't know yet
Strangers complimenting your work
Fellow writeblrs striking up conversations
Interaction with new writeblrs in general
I see so many folks afraid to jump in to the community, so hopefully this post will lay out like a welcome mat for new folks to come say hi :)

Promptober Day 1 - Batting Practice
"I chose you." - Bat - Wearing Each Other’s Clothes
A LITTLE OUT OF THE ORDINARY (Adverse Effects | Unconventional Restraints | “This wasn’t supposed to happen”)
The game of baseball is sacred to most of it’s players.
~1300 words
---
Familiar sounds of cars driving by pulled at his consciousness. The crack of a ball against a bat echoed in his ringing ears. Familiar sounds, nothing out of the ordinary. He’d fallen asleep plenty of times in the dugout, under a bench, in the stands, waiting for practice to end. It had been a few years since he’d done it, though.
CRACK!
He felt a breeze, the crack of the hit louder than normal. As he opened his eyes, he caught another player, familiar in his Tombstone Flyers uniform, readying a bat to swing. The color of his hair didn’t match any of the players on the team, but maybe he was new.
Attempting to sit up alerted him to the bonds wrapped around his wrists, his middle, his legs. A sock, dirty judging by the taste, filled his mouth, held fast by a black uniform belt. Not his team.
Thoomp… CRACK!
Muffled noises and the sound of struggle pulled the batter from his routine. “Hey, you’re finally awake!”
The bat fell to the ground with a plonk while the player rushed over to grab the large remote box for the pitching machine. The hum of electricity quieted as the machine turned off. “There we go. Sorry about that, Spooky. Got bored while you were nappin’.”
Spooky struggled against his bonds, plotting a number of ways to punish this newbie. But something about him seemed familiar, not like the field or the dugout or the stands. He’d seen this man before, but in a different uniform, a darker jersey maybe. Sherriff would probably never let anyone on the team with colorization that dark.
But he knew his name, or at least, his nickname.
“Bet you’re tryin’ to figure out where it is you know me from.” The man grinned toothily, his teeth sharp and stained not yellow, but some other color. “Go ahead and look down, that’ll give you a hint.”
He kept his eyes on the man, his captor. Something about the encouragement felt like a trap.
“Ah, c’mon, indulge me, kid.”
He glanced down. An old, loose jersey, hung dark against his pale skin. The Umbra Hulks? He looked up.
“How’s it fit? Yours is a little tight around the middle. Reminds me I should get back to workin’ out. I always say I’m gonna, you know, every New Year. But, you know, resolutions, right?” He smoothed the front of Spooky’s shirt. “Also helps if someone happens to walk by. Home Field Advantage, right? Not unreasonable to see a flyer out here after dark practicing their swing, right?”
The longer he spoke, the more he remembered. He’d heard this man before. Calling for time outs or shouting instructions or arguing with the umpire. He’d played Left Fielder back in the day. Lefty.
“But you’re probably wonderin’ what brings you out here tonight. Me, I’m just enjoying your teams’ new machine. It’s pretty cool. Wish we had that kind of budget. But we don’t.” Lefty fussed with a ring his right hand. “Which is weird, considerin’ your team never sells out tickets. Now, us Hulks, we sell out all the time, right. People love to watch a game with the Umbra Hulks. Won the Championship for years now, right?” The ring, a large gaudy thing that Spooky recognized now as a Championship ring, moved into Lefty’s pocket. “So how is it that we don’t have the budget for fancy new equipment?”
Panic started to fill him. The only time his own father took off his rings meant sobbing in the bathroom over bloody rags.
“So, despite my boss’s protests, I started to look into it.” He chuckled and looked to Spooky with his pitch-black sclera and red irises. “I may not look it, but I’m smarter than people give me credit for. But not as intimidatin’. Because no matter where I followed the money, I came up against some pretty firm roadblocks.”
Lefty paced around as he spoke, thick-knuckled hands gesturing absently. “I followed the dough through official channels, talked to tellers and bankers and accountants. Even followed it through back-channels, right? Tracked down some old contacts, bookies, runners, gamblers.” A nostalgic smirk took up a portion of his features. “Even ran into some old friends that left the Business. They all loved havin’ a chat over a lunch or a beer down the pub. But, wouldn’t you know it, they all clammed up at some point. Now, me, smarter than the average Hulk me, started to notice a pattern.”
Spooky attempted to swallow around the dirty sock and winced at the taste. The rope burned and scratched, tighter every time he attempted to break free. He felt blood trickle down his wrist, into his palm, down his fingers. Despite his best efforts, the angle of his legs made it difficult to even sit on the chair, one of the foldable ones from a conference room or something in the facilities, his ankles tied to the closest point, toes on the ground.
“So I looked into that pattern and I got myself a hunch. I started askin’ different questions, looked into different things here and there. Turns out, our budget problem has a pretty simple solution. But one that I can’t just call out. Because, see, the culprit has a lot of people under duress. If I go after ‘im, he takes down a lot of other people. Nothin’ would stick to him. And then I’d be the one in trouble. Which is where you come in, kid.”
Spooky furrowed his brow. Lefty meandered in front of him and crouched down. “You just follow your coach’s orders, I get it. You hit the ball, you run, you score runs. When you’re on the mound, you throw the ball, maybe you hurt the opposing team’s player. Maybe that player gets benched for a while. Maybe the Flyers start winnin’ more games. Happens all the time.” Red flashed in Lefty’s eyes. “But kid, your coach don’t know what’s good for the game anymore. He’s hurtin’ more players than we got. He’s scarin’ people away from the game. Which is what brings me to you.”
Lefty stood again and walked over to the large remote for the pitching machine. “Men like your coach think they’re untouchable. Think they’ve buried enough of themselves that no one can get at him, right?” He poked several of the buttons on the remote. “But they can’t think of everything.” He pressed start and the machine whirred into life. “Which is where you come in, kiddo.”
Thoomp…
The chair nearly toppled over as Spooky’s reflexes took over to dodge the incoming ball. His eyes darted from the Hulk into the distance where the pitching machine sat. He had been placed directly in the path of the machine. Seated at just the right height.
Lefty scooped up the baseball bat. “Your coach has to be stopped. But, seein’ as he thinks he’s untouchable, there’s no way to get at him directly.” He moved into position to bat as a right-hander. “Which means I gotta find a way to send him a message.”
Thoomp…
Spooky almost fell over again.
“A message he can’t dismiss. Which is why I chose you. Someone he’ll care about more than his other players.” Lefty held the bat with his right hand over his left.
Spooky looked down the field at the pitching machine, the loader bucket full of balls.
“I mean, I could try to talk to him. But he’s hurt so many people already.”
Thoomp…
Spooky grunted this time. They were coming faster than before.
“I gotta hurt him where he can’t ignore it, right?” Lefty settled back into his batting stance, foreign to him as a left-hander. “And I know how much it’ll hurt him to find your body in the dugout tomorrow morning.”
#promptober#fictober#whumptober#i did it again#i still have to do day 2#promptober 2022#i did it last night under duress#so i thought about all the ways to improve it#and settled on this#same general premise#hope you like it better

Promptober Day 1 - How To Make Friends
So this is a bit of a warmup and I’m not sure if I’m done with it, but I wanted to post it and see what people thought of it. The husband encouraged me to write stuff that didn’t involve Zodiac this year, and I didn’t want to put pressure on myself to write 1k words for every prompt, just get enough of an idea to write something, you know?
"I chose you." - Bat - Wearing Each Other’s Clothes
A LITTLE OUT OF THE ORDINARY (Adverse Effects | Unconventional Restraints | “This wasn’t supposed to happen”)
Not every rivalry can be fixed. But Lefty won’t let down his team, or his game.
~700 words
---
The underground area of Umbra Stadium was affectionately called The Dungeon by those that frequented the building, but not those that worked there. Players typically only moved through the locker rooms and the dugout. They had no reason to go deeper.
Not always.
Even breathing deepened into heavy, muffled and struggled around cloth. Lefty, left-handed left fielder of the Umbra Hulks, darted his dark eyes from the pages of a book toward the source. With a swift motion, he stood and dogeared his page to slap the book down on the chair behind.
“Hey, kiddo, you finally awake?”
In the other chair, a young man lifted his head, pale eyes wide at Lefty. He took in his surroundings - a dingy room with poor lighting and pipes across every available wall and ceiling. Water dripped from connections and joins, a valve ticked every so often with high pressure or low pressure. He tried to sit up, to move his hands, and grunted. Panic opened his face and he tugged.
“Ah, yeah, you’re gettin’ it now.” Lefty chuckled and took a few steps forward. “Welcome to The Dungeon, Spooky.”
Spooky’s white eyes focused on Lefty, brow furrowed. The man wore a Tombstone Wings uniform. His uniform. He attempted to swallow around the dirty sock in his mouth, held fast by a belt tied around his head.
“You may be wonderin’ what brings you here.” Lefty smiled to his captive. “Now me, I’m not one to keep a guy waiting. Fastest hands in the region, me.” He reared his left hand back, stepped, and threw an invisible ball. “So lemme tell you a story, Spooks.
“See, in the game of baseball, there’s usually a fun rivalry between teams, yeah? That tension helps keep players motivated, gets the audience excited, gets butts in seats, right?” Lefty paced around in front of his captive, hands moving, punctuating his sentences by looking to Spooky. “Maybe that tension boils over and coaches do their best to remind the players what they’re really here for: the game, right? I’ve been a part of these kinds of rivalries over the years, but I always try to meet with the other players and hash it out, take ‘em to a bar, maybe even go on a quick adventure.” He smirked at the boy. “Nothin’ brings you closer than trusting the other person to cram a potion down your unconscious throat.
“Some of my best friends are people I’ve had beef with in the past. You’d never know it to see us nowadays.” He wandered closer to the chair with his book. “So I don’t mind a bit of… discord between players.” Leaned against the wall beside the chair stood a baseball bat. “But you, Spooks,” he grabbed the bad and pointed it at the younger man, “you just don’t seem to know what’s good for the game.”
True to his name, Spooky could not turn any whiter, though panic filled his eyes. He shook his head, protest muffled by the sock in his mouth.
Lefty spun the bat, a grin on his face. “Oh, but I know you’re just new, Spooks. A rookie just followin’ orders from his Captain, right?” Spooky nodded vehemently. “But, see, Captains don’t get to where they are without becoming some kind of untouchable, right?” He stepped closer. “They got bombs ready to go off if anybody tries to sneak up on ‘em. Someone else’ll take the fall for ‘em, maybe they got friends in higher places. But you gotta send a message somehow, right?” Both hands gripped the bat’s base. “Maybe find someone they care about, like… a family member or somethin’. Or someone they love like family.”
Spooky’s brow furrowed, white eyes darting between Lefty’s face and his hands on the bat.
“I’m pretty fast, throwing the ball, makin’ enemies, makin’ friends, even makin’ connections. That’s why I chose you.” Dark eyes fell on Spooky, the bat moving slowly into position. “I know how bad it’ll hurt Sherriff to find your body in the dugout tomorrow morning.”

Posting to tumblr
Please use the tag #flufftober2022
Since tags are sometimes wonky, make sure to also add @flufftober in your post
We will try to catch them all, but please don't be mad if we miss a post or if it gets reblogged a bit late
If you're absolutely certain a post has slipped past us, feel free to send an ask with the link to your post
To make reblogging easier for us, make sure to add the following tags: #flufftober2022 #day [xy] #[fandom] #[ship and/or main character(s)]
If you're using a prompt substitute, instead of #day [xy] tag it as #alt 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
Posting to ao3
You can add your creation to the collection flufftober2022 or flufftober_2022 (yes, we've claimed both because so many people added to the wrong collection last year 😅)
Late entries are always welcome, on tumblr as well as the ao3 collection! Neither will close - but like last year, reblogs will become less and less and further apart the more months pass...

Prompt Substitutes
Last year, many of you asked for it, this year we're delivering 😊 introducing: Prompts Substitutes!
As explained in the rules, these can be used if there are prompts in the original list that you don't like for whatever reason. No need to explain or apologize for it, simply switch them with one of the five most loved prompts from last year. Or... you know... just add these five to your list of 31 prompts that want to be written 😉
Alt 1: Slow Dancing
Alt 2: Caught in the Rain
Alt 3: Falling Asleep Together
Alt 4: Up Against the Wall Kiss
Alt 5: Winning a Teddy for the Other
We hope you like these lists, and now
Happy Creating 🥳
