Whump Event - Blog Posts
little late BUT here we go y'all! many thanks to everyone who recommended prompts! EDIT - FIXED DAY 30 ON THE IMAGES
Welcome to Whumpay 2025! Up above you will see the basic prompt list and down below the cut you will see it written out in a list as the rules
Rules are the same as usual -
You only have to use one (Or two, if you’re doing the extreme edition.) prompt a day! But you’re welcome to use multiple if you want to, and it still counts for both.
I know the description of the blog says it’s a writing event, but if you want to draw or make other kinds of content, that’s cool too.
Have fun, tag content warnings (such as noncon, graphic violence, etc) and try not to be crushed by the mortifying ordeal of posting your writing.
This is a pretty chill event so you can start posting whenever but I’ll be reblogging posts made to the #Whumpay2025 tag throughout May.
scaled things back a bit this year, so theres no mini challenges or extreme edition, but if you want a smaller challenge choose one prompt from each category and post one each week

Sep-Oct 2024 Whump Events
autumn is approaching! 🍂 here's a long one, since october is the big month for creation events, and september has a lot going on this year too! so much to choose from!
i've also made a post detailing upcoming g/t events here on my g/t blog. you can check that out if you wanna do something for that community!
September events starting this month:
🔤 Alphabet of Whump (@alphabetofwhump), prompts here, a 26-day whump event
🧸 Sicktember (@sicktember), prompts here, a 30-day sickfic event (this is its last year)
💀 Whumptember (@whumptember), prompts here, a 30-day whump event
🎶Seven Songs of Suffering (@snakebites-and-ink), prompts here, a 1-week whump event taking place the second week of September
🐉 HTTYD Whump Week (@httyd-whump-week), prompts here, a 1-week HTTYD fandom whump event
😱 Horrortember (@horrortember), prompts here, a 30-day horror event
Single-day September celebrations:
🎊 International Whump Day is September 12th. Celebrate however you like!
💬 Comment Day is September 15th, info here: @comment-day. Leave some nice comments on your favorite creations! (Not whump specific)
October events starting next month:
🎃 Whumptober (@whumptober), prompts here, a 31-day whump event. this is also the most-participated-in whump event of the year, often attracting people outside the whump community.
🌩️ Voltober (@voltober), prompts coming soon, a 31-day whump event
💧 Angstober (@angstober), prompts here, a 31-day angst event
🔮 31 Days of Horror (@31-daysofhorror), prompts potentially coming soon, a 31-day horror event
📼 Halloween Horror Bingo (@halloweenhorrorbingo), signups coming soon, a horror bingo-prompt event
🫀Goretober is a flexible gore event where people traditionally create their own prompt lists. If you don't want to make your own, there are many floating around in the Goretober tag already. Here's a few: one / two / three / four
📵 AI-less* Whumptober (@aiIesswhumptober), prompts here, a 31-day whump event
*Note to clear up any confusion brought on by the name: Neither Whumptober event includes or promotes the use of AI-generated works, the latter event is just more intense about it. Whumptober's AI policy is "We will not reblog or promote any works we know to be generative AI-created" and AILWT's AI policy is "No AI content of any kind is allowed". False claims spread last year about Whumptober allowing AI, but this is not and has never been the case, and I want to make sure no misinformation is spread from my post.
