# OCtober 2026

original character prompts by bweird!

F.A.Q

✷ do i have to draw every day?
nope — this isn't that kind of challenge!
i try to keep things laid back and accessible, so you can skip as many days as you need if you're busy, falling behind, or want a break for any reason! there are 10 main days (marked with a star) to anchor yourself through the month, you can just focus on those if you want!

✷ do i have to make finished art?
nope — wips/unfinished works are totally okay, and re-using old stuff that fits the prompt is encouraged too!

✷ do i have to make art at all?
nope — different mediums like writing, collage, bases/picrews, moodboards, etc are all allowed! (so long as you credit original creators when using their resources)

✷ what is the tag for the event?
#bweirdOCtober or #bweirdOCtober2026 this year! i encourage everyone to spend some time in there appreciating what other people are doing during the event!

✷ can you share/promote my entries?
unfortunately this year i'm gonna have to take a step back from cataloguing entries - sorryyyy!!!
in the past i've shared everything in the tag to my blog @bweirdevents (tumblr) but as the event has grown from a few friends to a few hundred people, it's left me with less and less time to actually participate myself. the blog will remain up as an archive and i'll still try my best to like/interact in the tag and in the discord as much as i can, but my cataloguing days are definitely behind me!

✷ can i re-upload your prompt list on another site?
i would really prefer people just use the reblog/retweet/share button instead
