Summary:
Blurb taken from Falling for Her Rival, by Jackie Braun
For chef Poe Dameron, it's time to turn up the heat. Three years ago he hit rock bottom. Now he's ready for a comeback, starting with winning a TV competition to secure a spot running New York's trendiest kitchen! He just didn't count on his attraction to rival Armitage Hux burning a hole in his plans…
Hux has worked his apron off for this opportunity, and total focus on the competition was the plan — which is difficult when all he can think about is wanting his opponent out of the kitchen and in his bed! But there can only be one winner, and sometimes, to win, a guy has to play dirty!

Innumerable Stars 2025 - Overview
This is our tenth year. We're trying something a bit different this year - we'll do a single brief explainer post, then do separate posts about Nominations and Sign-Ups. (We're trying to make it simple to find the information you need, and easy for people new to the event to get the gist.)
What is Innumerable Stars?
Innumerable Stars is a low-pressure, low-key Tolkien fanworks exchange. The event is run on AO3, so you will need an AO3 account to participate.
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
What are the key dates?
Nominations Open: Sunday, 03 August 2025, 8:00 PM UTC
Nominations Close: Sunday, 17 August 2025, 8:00 PM UTC
Sign-ups Open: Sunday, 17 August 2025, 11:59 PM UTC
Sign-ups Close: Sunday, 31 August 2025, 8:00 PM UTC
Assignments Due: Sunday, 05 October 2025, 8:00 PM UTC
Our full 2025 schedule is posted here, and in the unlikely event of any changes, that is where updates will be made.
How does Innumerable Stars work?
There are three phases of the event - Nominations, Sign-Ups, and Assignments.
In Nominations, we create the tagset for the exchange by submitting characters, pairings, and worldbuilding elements participants are interested in seeing. The only requirement to participate at this stage is a valid AO3 account. No sign-up is required, and you are not committed to do anything more. There will be a post no later than one week before Nominations open explaining Nominations in full.
In Sign-Ups, participants commit to creating a fanwork, and submit their requests (the things they would like to receive) and offers (things they are willing to create for.) There will be a post no later than one week before Sign-Ups open explaining Sign-ups in full. This post will also cover expectations regarding assignments so that everyone signing up has all information before making requests or offers.
The mods then match the requests and offers, and send out the Assignments. An assignment includes ALL the requests from the participant you are matched with, but you are only required to create for one of them - it is up to you which one. The period to create the fanwork for your assignment is 5 weeks. (The participant you are assigned to create for will not necessarily be creating for you.)
There is a short period after the assignment due date for the mods to ensure all fanworks have been received, and then the collection opens and squeeing commences.
What are the requirements?
- Fanworks for Innumerable Stars must be a minimum of 500 words or a nice sketch on clean, unlined paper. (Note that we welcome various artistic mediums, so artists, please translate 'nice sketch on clean, unlined paper' to your medium.)
- Participants must abide by any Do Not Wants listed in their assignment.
- Participants will create for one of the requests listed in their assignment; it is their choice which one to create for.
- Participants will comment on the fanwork created for them after the collection opens. If they feel they cannot leave any positive comment, they will bring the issue to the mods.
- Participants will be respectful of others. This is a welcoming, inclusive event.
- Fanworks must be the creator's own work, without any use of generative AI, such as MidJourney or ChatGPT.
Better editorial control - if we need to update a post, we know there aren't versions in circulation that aren't up to date.
Is there a way to get in touch with the mods other than here or Tumblr?
Yes, you can email us, innumerablestars.exchange at Gmail dot com.

Thursday ✎ Children's Entertainment [DW]
Today's theme is children's entertainment. Let's think back to what we enjoyed as kids or what kids these days are into (and what the kids in between liked, too, of course). Some examples: playgrounds, roller skates, school recess games, paper-and-pencil games, card games, board games, toys (so many toys), drawing and coloring, handicrafts (friendship bracelets, anyone?), books, cartoons, movies, collectibles (trading cards, Beanie Babies, whatever), sports and other after school extra curricular activities (music, dance, theater, martial arts)... There are so many things to choose from, honestly. Even "delinquent" activities are fine, like spray-painting graffiti and trespassing into that cool off-limits place in the neighborhood. Is a character baffled by a trendy toy or popular cartoon? Does an adult wish they had a certain game when they were a kid? Does someone toss an activity book at someone in the hopes of keeping them quiet during a long car ride?
Feel free to add specifics to your prompts, like whether you'd prefer a gen fill over something shippy, or if you have a squick or trigger you hope to avoid. Original fiction, fanfiction, and fanfic crossovers are always welcome. ~_^
Just a few rules:
No more than five prompts in a row.
No more than three prompts in the same fandom.
Use the character's full names and the fandom's full name
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here. Unfortunately, DW doesn’t have a cut tag, so use your best judgment when it comes to spoilers.
If your fill contains spoilers, warn and leave plenty of space, or use the above-mentioned spoiler cut.
Prompts should be formatted as follows: [Use the character's full names and fandom's full name]
Fandom, Character +/ Character, Prompt
Some examples to get things started...
+ X-Men (comic or movie 'verse), Remy LeBeau + any teammates, actually playing [gin rummy, war, go fish, anything besides poker/casino games] with his card decks
+ Resident Evil (game/CGI 'verse), Piers Nivans +/ Chris Redfield (+ Jill Valentine), ('70s kids and '80s kids) they grew up on different Saturday morning cartoons, but they have a shared appreciation for [author's choice of Looney Tunes, Scooby-Doo, etc]
+ author's choice, any + any (gen), making a small [bed, tent, house, stable, etc] for their toy(s)
We are on AO3! If you fill a prompt and post it to AO3, please add it to the Bite Sized Bits of Fic from 2025 collection. See further notes on this option here.
Not feeling any of today’s prompts? You can use LJ’s advanced search options to limit keyword results to only comments in this community. Fret not, DW members; we are working on a way to search through old entries for prompts for you! As of right now, the best way to search for a lonely prompt on DW is to search the community’s archive, which can be found [[HERE]].
While the use of LJ's advanced search and DW’s archive are options, bookmarking the links of prompts you like might work better for searching in the future.
As a friendly reminder about our schedule, Lonely Prompts and sharing completed fills are encouraged on Sundays, while new themes and prompts are posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Saturdays are a Free for All day. We'll share our posts on DW and LJ for everyone's convenience. Keep an eye out for notifications!
If you have a Dreamwidth account and would feel more comfortable participating there, please feel free to do so… and spread the word!
