Do you like Daredevil, The Defenders, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, the Punisher, and/or Team Red, in their comics or TV (or, in some cases, cinema!) versions?

Then, get ready for the Daredevil and Defenders 2025 Exchange!
Sign up here until July 7!

Works revealed on AO3 on September 19, and submissions posted on Tumblr from that day onwards.

Still with the Remix Option! You can say you’re open to getting a gift created from one of your own fanworks!!

How? Sign up here! You will be able to give several prompts (different types of prompts, too! Music, scenarios, one word prompts) and you will, of course, receive several prompts.

Your job? Use at least one of these prompts to create at least one fanwork! You can combine several prompts in one work, use the same prompt for several works... The one hard and fast rule is to respect your giftee's squicks!

Please get in touch with your giftee anonymously if only to let them know someone is creating something for them, and of course if you have any question :-)

What types of fanwork? Here's what you can do: Gifsets (6 gifs min), Fanfic (1,000 words min), Fanmix (6 songs + cover min), Fanvid (1 minute long min), Graphics / Fanart, needle art, podfic.

What's the timeline? Signups until July 7 (your time zone is fine), prompts sent around a day or two after that (depending on your time zone), fanworks due SEPTEMBER 10 in the AO3 collection if you're using AO3, and be submitted to Tumblr.
If you have a scheduling issue please get in touch with the blog, we can probably work something out. And you will be able to post on the dedicated AO3 collection earlier since it will be kept unrevealed until D-Day.

Where to post? Tumblr, AO3 (Exchange collection name: dde2025 / Daredevil and Defenders Exchange 2025)… let us know where you're posting so we can share it on our two blogs, DW and Tumblr.
AO3 can't host video or graphics, but you can still put them up on the Archive as long as they’re already online somewhere else like Instagram, DeviantArt, YouTube, Squidge hosting, etc. Get in touch if you have questions about posting !

Posting guidelines are here (this link should be opened in a separate browser tab, NOT the app) or here, please take the time to read them! You will find more important information there. If you do not have an AO3 account and want one, please get in touch with the blog.

**Spread the word!**

you can browse the multitudinous and wonderful works created for the event following the event tags on this blog: #ddepromptfest23 and the #valentineblitz little fest as well (open the links in a browser window, not the app).

Do you like Daredevil (this event is team Red compatible!), The Defenders, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and/or the Punisher, in their comics or TV (or, in some cases, cinema!) versions?

Then, get ready for our new event... a Prompt Fest with a Remix Option!

Wait, what? Wait, YES!

Nov 21 to Dec 11: prompting is open; you can submit regular prompts here such as a piece of music, quotes, scenarios, words, pictures... (these prompts will be anonymous) or submit some of your own works for the Remix Option here!

Dec 12 to Jan 29: Claiming and Creation time!
A file will be made available containing all the prompts, and claimed prompts will be marked as such on the file (anonymously at this point; only DDE will know who picked what ;-).
You will be able to claim a limited number of prompts per person - you can claim more once you are done with the ones initially claimed, for instance by posting them in the fest's AO3 collection (they won't be visible yet).
A prompt can be claimed more than once, but we encourage creators to pick some that have not been chosen yet :-) 

Reveals on AO3 & posting on Tumblr should start on February 1, but the exact timing and duration will depend on the number of submissions and will be adjusted accordingly.

Posting Guidelines are on Tumblr and on DW.

You don't need to prompt to participate in creating, and you don't need to create anything if you do prompt! (But of course, the more the merrier ;-)

*eerie theremin wails*

Wait, what is that sound? Oh! it’s for our new event, the second coming of...

[ID: Digital art of Matt Murdock and Frank Castle locking arms together against a colorful background with semi-transparent circled lights. Matt is wearing a maroon jacket with a black undershirt, along with his glasses and giving a smirk towards Frank. He's holding up his cane and has his other hand around Frank's arm. Frank is grinning back at Matt, wearing a black leather jacket and is holding up a beer in his free hand. He has long, pushed back hair and a beard. Both of them are in red and indigo lighting with purple and green undertones/shading. They're implied to be dancing at a club. End ID]
