The Full 12 month plan
January
New Year, New You!
Pick a new character, trope, or pairing.
Something you haven’t tried before.
Make it a challenge to do
something new and different!
February
Romance Novels
This month your challenge is to theme a piece
either around Romance or the Necromancy of Thay book that's found in the game!
March
Marching Forwards
This month your challenge is to finish a WIP or LongFic, add a chapter to an ongoing work,
or March into a New World
by writing something in an AU!
Whatever helps you reach towards your goals
April
Fools Rush In
This month your challenge is to make something humorous, funny, based on a meme or with a
general comedy theme running through the piece.
Perhaps it's a "what if" scenario where everything is far more silly than usual, or some witty banter around camp, or you could try using language to change the tone of the piece instead!
May
Maybe? What If?
Reverse a trope or reimagine a part of the canon - what if things were different?
Our fifth gauntlet thrown to the floor challenges you to make a change - big or small - and reimagine a part of the story or characters.
It could be about an origin character, an NPC,
or a much larger part of the world and story, whatever sparks your creativity most!
June
June Bugs
Halfway through the year and our sixth challenge is all about those unexpected occurrences in the game, whether they've been patched out or remain as little surprises when you're playing!
Theme your story, art, or other creations around one or more glitches or exploits,
or something from the various patch notes from the Larian Overlords! Be as creative as you like,
or even have the characters become aware that there's something wrong with their reality!
July
Why Would July To Me?
Create a piece around lies, deceptions,
and other ways the truth can be twisted or obscured.
This month, leave the truth behind and get creative with the lies! Is one character lying to another? Or perhaps are they only lying to themselves in a desperate attempt to avoid the cold, hard truth? Dig deep into a character examination, find the heart of their motives and how others react to them, or dig in to some more fun and lighthearted lies. The choice is yours!
August
When In Rome...
Create a piece around the customs of specific races, backgrounds, regions, or Guilds.
The challenge this time centres on all kinds of customs and traditions.
Do the characters follow them? Or do they reject those parts of their heritage and culture?
There are lots of ways this can go, from things like Githyanki stoic and very literal "survival of the fittest" to Paladins, Clerics, and Druids who are often raised around certain old ways.
Even Guilds have their societal rules and traditions, play with them however you like!
September
Seven Deadly Sins
Pick one, or more, of the classic "seven deadly sins" and see how that can relate to one or more characters/tropes
This month we're focusing on the mythical Seven Deadly Sins - which are completely open to your personal interpretation! Lust, Gluttony, Pride, Sloth, Wrath, Greed, Envy - it's all up to you how you want to play with them in art or writing or any other creations you like~
Are the characters embodying the sins? Or avoiding them? So many possibilities to explore!
October
Days of the Dead
Create something around a character death, memorial, lingering ghost, or fins a way a character might cheat it!
This time, it's a trip into the morbid. Whether you take a canon character death, a potential character death, or explore a "what if" of a character who usually dies finding a way to survive.
All kinds of cultures in Faerun and beyond have different attitudes to death and mourning, which are no doubt complicated by how certain spells - or even gods - can restore the dead to life.
So, the choice is yours - celebrate life, grieve death, or even explore the eternal scribe...
November
Gnomevember
This month, create a piece with any Gnome character(s)!
The challenge this time centres on all those who are great and small.
Gondians, Ironhands, your own player characters and OCs, all kinds of Gnomes are welcome! Let's give a little love to these fantastic characters~
You could also look at the quests that involve them, like the Steel Watch foundry, the Iron Throne, and the Underdark Runepowder Issue, but try to keep more of the focus on the gnomes than other characters for this month~
And, of course, Gnome Smut November is a very welcome way to take on this prompt!
December
Season of Giving
Create a surprise gift for someone in fandom, or create a piece based on characters giving/receiving gifts!
The final challenge of the year! It's entirely up to you if you would like to create something based on gifts and gift giving traditions, or you could make something for someone else in the fandom!
Maybe a fic or piece of art has inspired you to make something of your own, or you'd like to create a companion piece to that work. You could just create something around an OC you've enjoyed seeing, or pick a creator's favourite character(s)/ship(s) as your prompt!

About the Author
Tavylia Sin started writing NSFW fanfiction around the end of September 2023. Within a month, she had written over 80,000 words of fanfiction and decided perhaps it is worth taking a little more seriously.She's active in a few communities like Discord, BlueSky, and Tumblr, and enjoys working on several longfic series, as well as a good amount of standalone stories.While most of Tavylia's writing is NSFW in nature, she's not averse to writing a few
soft and fluffy pieces from time to time too,
or something more serious in nature.In general, she's happy to support other creatives in the community, and hopes to reach more readers
as time goes by to bring some measure of joy with the silly things she types away at in her free time.
Outside of Baldur's Gate 3, Tavylia is hoping to continue to work on a longer piece of original fiction with the aim of publishing it some day.

Tavylia does not profit from, nor does she wish to profit from, any of her written FanFiction works.

Art?...
Lia has been known to dabble in art from time to time,
which is often silly, fun, and stylised.
Most works are shared on Bsky and other socials,
but this is where you can find comms and other special pieces!
