Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

To submit your work, post to the #fradrianweek2025 (for SFW creations) or #fradrianweek2025nsfw (for NSFW creations) on tumblr or bsky and/or submit to our AO3 Collection. We will be sharing creations throughout the week!

Late submissions will be accepted up to 1 week after the event.

General Guidelines

You can submit fanfiction, drabbles, podfic, poetry, sketches, a mixtape—whatever medium you feel passionate about! There is no minimum word count.
This event is meant to be for fun—don't feel like you have to create something perfectly polished in order to participate (although if you want to, you can!)
We encourage you to cheerlead others' work by commenting and sharing. A kind comment or tag can go a long way!

The main (SFW) prompts are open to all ages, but you must be 18+ to create NSFW works.
SFW works can be up to T-rated. They can contain swearing, light substance use (alcohol, smoking), mild suggestive language, "fade-to-black" or implied sex, but can't contain explicit sex or graphic violence.
NSFW works can be M- or E-rated, and must be properly tagged with kinks and relevant content warnings. Please take care to warn for topics like suicidal ideation and suicide, especially if you are exploring them more graphically than they are shown in the text of the game.
We do not allow the use of generative AI for this event.

FAQs

Can I combine days or prompts? Yes, you can do that if you wish. You can also combine SFW and NSFW prompts.
Can I include other pairings? Yes, OT3s and polycules are fine, as long as there is a focus on the Fran/Adrian dynamic.
Can I interpret the prompts broadly/loosely? The prompts are meant as inspiration, and you're welcome to interpret them how you want to! We've tried to make them open ended to give creators the option to make them their own.
Can I combine the Fradrian Week prompts with prompts from other fan events (like AA bingo)? As long as it's okay with the organizers of the other event(s), we're fine with that!

Have fun, and happy creating!

We're hitting the media hard--not literally, because that would be bad.

On Wednesday morning Emily and I are traveling down to Fort Wayne to have an on-air visit with Jack Hammer, host of the morning show on WXKE 96.3. It's a classic rock station that hangs out here: https://963xke.com/

The brothers from the TV show Supernatural listened to a lot of classic rock, so there's your connection between WXKE and Haunted Noble County, Indiana. This is the hill I'll haunt on.

Supernatural is a very serious TV show.

It should be around 7:30 a.m. or so. You can check out all-around Fort Wayne guy Jack Hammer here:

https://www.facebook.com/FortWayneGuy/

Plus, the "Easily Distracted by Cemeteries" podcasts we're in--two of them!--are up:

https://rss.com/podcasts/easilydistractedbycemeteries/2252321/

Emily and I in the middle of the easily distracted podcast gang. We had fun!

So check that out, and let us know what you think. Maybe we'll start our own podcast. Maybe not.

Meanwhile we still have the October 30th thing at the CLC in Kendallville, which I'm contractually obligated to mention every post between now and then. Of course, that's only nine days.

https://commevents.eventcalendarapp.com/haunted-noble-county

As I've mentioned before, there's an entry fee, which makes me deathly afraid no one will show up at all. But if you do, there'll be snacks and a slide show, or whatever the kids are calling slide shows these days, and since it's on a Thursday I'll stick in at least a few jokes*.

*Most comedians will tell you that, for reasons unknown to science, jokes are funnier on a Thursday**.

**I'm totally making that up.

Of course, just because we step into the limelight once in awhile doesn't mean you can't just read our books:

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

I spent most of the weekend relaxing with the grand-twins and their dog, Indy. The oncoming Big Weather Change and an attack of allergies made me feel like I'd come down with man flu, so relaxing is about all I felt like doing. But at least I wasn't schedule to work all weekend, like Emily was. (As I write this it's Saturday night, and looking like the Saddle Barn will be canceled by weather for tomorrow.)

Indy's just a little guy, but, like Steve Rogers before he got the super soldier injection, Indy could lick faces "all day".

I mean, Steve was saying he could fight all day, not lick faces. Never mind.

This is fall break for the twins, and they spent most of it with us. The problem is they like to play a lot of video games, but one is into the fighting type, and the other is into the sports type. So they showed up with ... another TV!

Can you imagine? When I was that age my family had a console TV, and that wasn't going easily into anybody's car. Once, when I was about ten, someone brought over a "portable" TV, and we ran an extension cord into the back yard and watched it in a tent. Rabbit ear antennas. Eleven inches of glorious black and white!

This duel TV thing worked, somehow. The only problem I had was whether I wanted to concentrate on the football game, or the cowboys raiding through a blizzard in Red Dead: Redemption. Then one of them went to Fortnite, and what kind of craziness is that thing, anyway? I'm pretty sure I just saw someone blow up Scooby-Doo.

*****

That wasn't our only weekend activity. On Friday evening Emily and I drove to the Ligonier Public Library, where we put on a presentation about our book, Haunted Noble County, Indiana. We were met at the front door by a fun surprise: A Halloween display featuring the book.

We had a great turnout, and nobody threw any rotten fruits or vegetables. I did most of the talking (I lost the coin toss), and not a single person booed me.

In fact, of the ten copies of Haunted Noble County, Indiana we brought in with us, we sold nine. (Naturally, me being the paranoid person I am, we had more in the car.) We also sold a few copies of Images of America: Albion and Noble County, and Hoosier Hysterical: How the West Became the Midwest Without Moving at All. Emily only put out our history related books, including Smoky Days and Sleepless Nights: A Century or So With the Albion Fire Department, and I have to start using shorter subtitles.

It goes without saying that we had copies of the other eight books with us--just in case--but it was a night for history stuff. Maybe if I ever do standup comedy, I'll put the humor books out in front.

And now I have to start preparing for our next appearance, at the Community Learning Center in Kendallville--on Halloween Eve. Well, October 30. That's Halloween Eve, isn't it?

Yeah, that's us there on the bottom, although it could be argued that the end of October is the peak of the month. With a little more time to get ready, we're putting together a PowerPoint presentation for this one. Okay, Emily is. More info to come.

On rainy days like this, you can always look for a good book:
