It’s Occult October!

Sp00qy season is upon us! This month we challenge you to make or rec fancreations that involve Bond characters and anything that’s uncanny, wyrd, monstrous, magical, or spooky. (Or, you know, anything that has to do with the characters celebrating Halloween or related holidays.)

If you’re someone who likes specific prompts, we have five for you to choose from!

Vampires or Parasitic Monsters

Werewolves or Shapeshifters

Mad Scientists or Experiments

Hauntings or Possessions

Curses or Spells

As always, all ships, gen fic, and genres are welcome!

Trick-or-Treat Mini Event

Our post-Fest survey had several people asking about smaller events, and this is our first one!

From October 24th to October 31st, we’re asking you to choose a specific 48 hours to do your personal comment-a-thon. The idea is that you’ll be passing out comment goodies just the same way that people would pass out Halloween candy! But we know that not everyone has the 48 hours around Halloween free, so we invite you to comment on the days that make the most sense to you.

What counts as a comment? Positive comments on AO3, kind words directly on tumblr reblogs, or happy rambling in tumblr tags. Publicly visible tweets and comments on other social media like Facebook and Instagram are also great for our participants on other platforms.

When your 48 hours are finished, you’ll fill out a Cafe form with your total number of comments and we’ll update the running Cafe total!

We hope you’ll have your own personal goal, but our fandom goal is to pass out at least 100 comment treats during Halloween week!

Characters of 2022: Q

This year we are adding a subtheme for every month. We are encouraging you to focus on one character and then give us all your recommendations and new creations the last week of the month. Unlike our monthly themes, you can find the complete list of characters for all year in the main post right here.

Your character for October is Q!

Whishaw!Q (2012-present) and Llewelyn!Q (1963-1991) are arguably the most beloved of the franchise, but if you’re diving into classic Eon canon, you can’t forget Cleese!Q (1999-2002) and Burton!Q (1962) as well.

Saturday Cafe: October 8 and October 22

Come join us in the fandom Slack as we write, sprint, plot, brainstorm, cheerlead, and generally have a good time trying to get things done together. If you’d like an invite to the Slack, go ahead and message @castillon02 or @spiritofcamelot!

Long Fic Readalong, Saturdays at 9pm ET

Join us in the Discord while we read a fic together. This is a chance to enjoy the fun of reading a chaptered work in weekly installments with all the laughter and shared suspense that that involves. The group is currently reading “Nodus Tollens” by Only_1_Truth.

We’d love to see you there. You are welcome to listen if you don’t or can’t read aloud!

When: Saturday, October 1st at 9pm eastern/6pm Pacific (your local time here)

Where: We’ll be reading on discord in the readalongs channel. (Invite to discord here)

Please join us to read, to just hang out and listen, and to generally enjoy a good story together!

Weekly events:

WIP Wednesday: You can post an excerpt of your WIP on our post or make your own post and tag @mi6-cafe. Either way it’s a fun way to show people what you’re working on, Bond fandom or otherwise.

Want to host your own event in the Discord or elsewhere? Let us know about it so we can add it to the calendars!
