I don't know how everyone else is doing, but I could use some help coming up with story ideas. I'm sure I'm not the only one. So...


Let's help our artists and writers by giving them some prompts for the 2026 Romancing McShep Fest!

Please comment to this post with your prompt suggestions. Prompts may be anything including, including but not limited to pictures, poetry, or song.


You may offer as many prompts for the fest as your romantic heart desires, but please number them or leave sufficient space between them so it's easy to tell they're separate prompts.


For inspiration, you can check out the prompt tag for previous years. (If there's an idea you love, feel free to post it again here.)


eta: Prompts are for fun and inspiration. There is no obligation to choose one of the prompts and no guarantee your prompt will be chosen.

1. Keep Your Claws to Yourself
2. Forever On My Mind

Coming your way in February!

Romancing McShep. Celebrating the pairing of my heart.

It's crazy, but another year of Romancing McShep has come and gone. I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who participated. The Box of Chocolate entries,* the great collection of posts to the AO3 community, and to you, the readers.

Every year, I think this show went off the air in 2009. Is anyone still interested in Romancing McShep? Every year, you say -- YES. McShep belongs to us now, and we're going to romance the hell of it.

You can find the 2025 AO3 collection Here

The collection never really closes. If more stories should happen to slip in...*whistles innocently*


*The folks who made the chocolates possible: mific, goddess47, cassiope25, carsonsweebabyturtles, and scifi_dancer.
