Polyartober 2025

The Polyamships discord server (invite here) is happy to invite you to Polyartober. Inspired by Inktober, but for polyamory, Polyartober brings you 31 daily prompts (+ 10 alt prompts) for October to get you in the creative flow to make more art.

You voted for your favorites and here they are!

Polyartober rules

1) Make a drawing* of your polyam ship (it doesn’t have to be in ink. Stick figures welcome. Not all characters have to be in the drawing, but the subject of the drawing must be polyam in nature)
2) Post it** (to the comm or AO3 collection).
3) Hashtag it with #polyartober and #polyartober25 (on tumblr and bluesky). You can also mention us @polyamships to make sure we see it.
4) Repeat

*So you want to write instead of draw? We created this event focused on artists, but if you feel inspired, please go ahead and create something else: writing, gifs, moodboards, meta, etc. The most important rule is to make it polyam and have fun!

**Please post your work mentioning the fandom and characters somewhere in the post so we can tag it appropriately. Use the character’s name as it appears in canon (this may mean Lastname Firstname for some fandoms) - if they only have a 1 word name please put the fandom in brackets after it e.g. Parker (Leverage).

Feel free to combine this event with any other events that allow it such as kinktober, bingos, ficathons, etc. for an extra challenge.

AO3 COLLECTION (for art and fic)

**As a reminder, there will be no PolyamShippingDay in October, as we'll focus on this month-long event instead.**
