QuiObi Secret Valentines 2026
Info
The QuiObi Secret Valentines 2026 is a holiday exchange event of fanfiction or fanart. This year, the exchange will be in the form of a prompt meme, which means that *anyone* with an AO3 account can submit a prompt request. This also means that creators can choose which prompt(s) they want to fill instead of receiving an assigned recipient. It’s a Secret Valentines, so creators will be anonymous until the creator reveal on February 14th.
Timeline
Prompt submissions open: Friday, January 2nd
Prompt submissions close: Sunday, January 17th
Submission Deadline: Friday, February 6th
Pinch-hit period: Saturday, February 7th-Friday, February 13th
Works revealed: Tuesday, February 14th
Creators revealed: Wednesday, February 15th
Prompts may be claimed at any time. The mods will do their best to see that each prompt is claimed, but please be aware that there is a small chance your prompt will not be filled.
Guidelines
1. Posting prompts: the sign up form can be found here. Only 1 prompt request is allowed per person, and anonymous prompts are not accepted.
2. Both slash and gen prompts are welcomed
3. Your story or artwork is due by February 6th at 11:59 pm EST. If necessary, extensions may be obtained by contacting the mods at our email address.
4. Minimum requirements for the event are at least 500 words for fic (complete) and a clean sketch on unlined paper (or digital art equivalent) for art. AI generated art is not allowed.
5. Please only claim one prompt at a time. After you have completed your fill, you may claim a new one.
6. Please do not double-claim prompts until after all works are claimed at least once.
7. Respect your prompter’s dislikes and rating preferences
8. Please don’t publicly discuss or crosspost your work until after the creator reveal on February 14th, so it can remain a secret gift
9. You can post your prompt fill by navigating to the ‘Claims’ section of your AO3 dashboard and selecting ‘Fulfill’ on your claimed prompt
10. If you cannot finish your gift, please drop your claim as soon as possible. You can do so by navigating to the Claims’ section of your AO3 dashboard and selecting ‘Drop Claim’ on the prompt. If your work is not posted by the February 6th deadline and we have not heard from you, your claimed prompt will be added to the pinch hit list.
