Welcome to Week 3 of the first Elysian Fields Mystery Fic-a-Thon Event!
Your mostly benevolent mods have been tickled pink by the continued creativity and enthusiasm for our slightly different event. Thank you to all the authors who have ensured we are not short on new Spuffy.
Curious to see how the prompts are being addressed? Check out the fics on our Event Page.
Your prompt for Week 3 comes from the always fabulous Pfeifferpack.
YOUR FIC MUST FEATURE THE USE OF A BBQ FORK
REMINDERS
- Your fic has a HARD goal of 5 chapters. If you want to write more, great! But that’s sequel fodder, since more chapters should not be added to this fic (even after the event ends). If you want to write less, we get it, but that will likewise disqualify you from the event.
- All chapters MUST be posted within the allotted time-window to qualify for the event.
- Each chapter MUST include that week’s prompt. (This one seems obvious, but better safe than sorry.)
- Each chapter MUST be tagged with the prompt and the fulfilling line/paragraph/passage in your chapter’s end-notes by the time the posting window closes for that prompt. We will be checking and disqualifying fics (though the ones we’ve checked so far have been solid -- good work, team!). If you haven’t done this yet for Chapter 2, you have until EOD site-time on July 18.
- No NEW fics for this event may be submitted.
POSTING WINDOW FOR CHAPTER 3
- Start: July 19
- End: July 25
PROMPT 4 ANNOUNCED
- July 23
Happy writing, all!

Oooo...a nifty weapon worthy of Slayer improvisation!
I keep dreading the moment when a prompt will inevitably make it impossible for me to stick to the challenge and keep telling my story... but it is not this prompt. So glad I've still got hope lol thank you, sweet Pfeifferpack, I'm gonna have fun with this one!
Ha ha ha... what part of what semi-clockwork creature shall the BBQ fork be? And what shall it be used for? I'm still struggling to reach the attic...
Much love to all you mods!
I just KNEW the BBQ fork would become a body part for yellowb!
Now I’m hungry!
