Status: Prompting Closed
This round is now closed to further prompts but remain open for fills and remixes (forever!).

Seventeen Holidays
2026 Round: Quotes


About

"Enter any body of water and you give yourself up to be swallowed. Even the stones know that."

"beauty is terror"

"Would you fall in love with me again, if you knew all I've done? The things I can't undo. "

Calling all lovers of poetry and prose, rhyme and reason, screen and stage. Welcome to the Quotes Round, where every prompt must cradle a quotation (or two, or three). Mix the media and let the synergy birth a new order, or keep it short and let the subtext speak its secrets to the right writer.


🛑 HOLD UP

If this is your first time on 17hols please check out our About Page which has helpful information about dreamwidth and HTML. We are a prompting fest where all the action happens in the comment section.



Rules
  • Sign up is not required.
  • Fills have a minimum of 400 words for prose, haiku-length for poetry (3 lines), and 400px by 400px for art (memes are also art). Other mediums are fine too!
  • There is no maximum cap.
  • Tag and provide content warnings at your discretion, but a good guide are the Ao3 four (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Underage) and this list of common CWs (cr: SportsFest).
  • NSFW/Explicit content should be tagged
  • NSFW art should not be visible, please provide a link and a warning. You may crop the artwork and embed a SFW preview.

How it works

    Need ideas? Check out our 2021 and 2022 Quote rounds.

Filling
  1. Reply to the original prompt;
  2. You must change the subject to [FILL] - this is to help the mods track. Feel free to add a title
  3. Copy+Paste the following HTML into your comment, edit the sections, and add your text.

    You may also upload your fill to the AO3 Collection.

Remixing
  1. Post as a reply to the fill you are remixing, using the same HTML as above;
  2. Change the subject to [REMIX].
Art/media
  1. Upload your work to any platform (twitter, imgur, youtube, soundcloud, google maps, etc.)
  2. Using the same HTML code as above, copy the link into your fill or remix. That's it!
  3. Optionally, you can embed a picture into your comment. Please use the following code instead.

    (To explain, the HTML resizes your picture to 400x400px so that it fits on most screens. Users can view the full size if they click on it. You can also add a link to your work on twitter so that others can share it, or to any other website you want)

Note!
On dreamwidth, you can't edit a comment once someone has replied to it.

oh my godddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!! oh joshua you are really in it now. i find junhui difficult to the point of inscrutability to get down onto the page and i'm in awe at this characterization masterclass you have just delivered! i could physically SEE jun's grimace-grin, the shake of his shoulders, that seesaw between mysterious dark handsome and goofy transparent mortifying. and then paired with this joshua who is a self-conscious mess and deals with that by sleeping with hot men in the most anonymous situations imaginable (airport bathrooms: all the liminality of a plane with none of the intrigue) until of COURSE this guy careens right back into his life after joshua made an ass of himself. iconic. incredible. need 50k more by morning and despite that this slice was absolutely perfect on its own.
