It’s the weekend here in Aus and I’m off to stay at the MIL’s place, anyone have some tasty snacks in the form of snippets from their SaS 2.0 fics to share?? 👀

Another week to go!

You’ve had time to listen to new lyrics and find their meaning for you, and you’ve watched HR for the 5th time, what would you like to read/write?? Excited to see your new prompts!

So what’s the chaos??

After long, gruelling meetings in our conference room (aka GC), we've decided to reopen prompt submissions and author sign-ups for 2 weeks!

Submit new prompts here: tinyurl.com/1dsasfest2prompts

Author registration: tinyurl.com/1dsas2signup

Our head cheerleader @alwayshalo.bsky.social made a whole bunch of fabulous moodboards for us this round, so you also have a visual prompt to go with the words... see if you get some inspiration and we can make it to 50 future SaSsie fic by Sunday night!

We can’t wait @leighllbealright.bsky.social 🥳

You still have plenty of time!

2026 Prompts 1 They broke up. It's over. Or at least it's supposed to be. While cleaning out their closet, Character A finds a ring tucked away, hidden, never given. Everything Character A thought he knew about...

Time's up!

Now you have 24 hours to find your prompt before we open sign ups

We'll strike through as prompts are chosen. Some are already carry overs that were picked up early by round 1 SaSsies, but there are plenty more available

tinyurl.com/1dsas2prompts

It’s almost sign up day for our writers!!

Last year we had 43 sign up, including 8 brand new to AO3

Can we make a new record this time??

14?

13? 😈

12 days until you can sign up with your fave prompt!

tinyurl.com/1dsas2prompts

Rules! There to be broken… but try to work with us on these ones

We won’t be offering extra words this time, aim for our original 10K and you should make it 🧁

We also want you in our pinned masterpost and to promo, so please stay a while 🛋️
