This year, we approved 16,466 characters across 4,278 fandoms!
The most nominated fandom this year was Murderbot (TV), with 15 nominators. Close behind it was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game), with 13 nominators.
Nine Worlds Series - Victoria Goddard is far in the lead by approved characters for a second year in a row, with 39 to select from. Lymond Chronicles - Dorothy Dunnett has 30, and The Goblin Emperor Series - Katherine Addison is in third with 27.
At the other end of the spectrum, 82 fandoms were nominated without characters.
Worldbuilding was nominated 356 times this year! John edged out Jack for the most common first name. Our review suggests the most ubiquitous characters of 2025 are, once again, Dracula and Sherlock Holmes.

Fixes and Polishing
We're ready to work on corrections. Please tell us what we need to fix! We may make posts with further queries, depending on the issues you raise. Please keep an eye out for those! Sign-ups are projected to start October 14. If nothing's wrong in your fandoms - or if you can multitask - take part in activity atyuletide!If your fandom is the wrong category. (such as Books when it should be Celebrities & RPF - etc.)...
- first, please check if it is also in the right category. If it is also in the right category, we can't help.
- If it's only in the wrong category, please tell us what it is and what category it should be in.
Tell us about…
- if you nominated something, but you can't find it at all
- if you nominated characters in a particular fandom, but you can't find them there
- if the fandom or characters you nominated were changed to something incorrect
- if you see the exact same character tag (including disambiguation) in multiple fandoms
- if a character or fandom name is mis-spelled (we don't care as much about disambiguations, so if the words in brackets entered after your fandom name are wrong (mis-spelled, misleading), feel free to tell us, but this may not be corrected.)
- if you see something that doesn't belong
- if you see two fandoms that are duplicates of each other
- if you see the same character twice under one fandom
- if your new fandom has been categorized in the wrong media category (and it isn't in any other category).
For missing nominations and corrections to your nominations, please provide your nominations link.
DO NOT tell us:
- if your fandom is in the wrong media category (a book under movies, etc), unless that is the only category that it is in. Please check ALL the categories before you report a problem.
- if your fandom is in Uncategorized Fandoms. This is a work in progress, please be patient as we work through these fandoms.
- if the characters in your fandom all belong, but the disambiguation tags entered in brackets after their names aren't all the same. Sometimes we have to enter really long strings after a character name to keep the character where they're supposed to be. We only care if the information in brackets is wrong.

Thursday: Love & Honor
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 fandom's full name for ease adding to the Lonely Prompts spreadsheet.
No spoilers in prompts for a month after airing, or use the spoiler cut option found here.
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 the ball rolling...
+ Hawaii Five-0, Steve McGarrett + John McGarrett (Flashback), as a boy, Steve vowed to live up to his father’s name. As a man, he learns that love, not honor, is what truly carries the legacy.
+ Teen Wolf – Stiles Stilinski(/Derek Hale) + Claudia Stilinski (Flashback), before she died, Claudia told Stiles that real love means keeping your promises, even when it hurts. Years later, he finally understands what she meant.
+ any, any +/ any, a vow made in the name of love...and a promise kept long after the heart forgets why.
We are now using AO3 to bookmark filled prompts. 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 new 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!
