Welcome to the International Fanworks Day (IFD) Feedback Fest of 2025!

Our theme for IFD 2025 is Fan Communities are Ecosystems, where we celebrate diversity in fandom and fanworks, and the unique fan ecosystem it creates.

Want to participate in this year's Feedback Fest? Here’s how to do it!

Leave a comment under this post recommending 10 fanworks. Tell everyone why you love these works and why they should check them out. You can also link to a recommendation post you've made elsewhere, or create a new recommendation post on your social media accounts using the #FeedbackFest2025 tag. Keep the diversity of fanworks in mind when making recommendations – you can share fics, podfics, fanart, zines, archives, collections, newsletters, and anything that sparks joy in you about fandom. The sky is the limit!

While going through the recommendations, it’s nice to leave feedback – comments, kudos, likes – for the creators as well! Feel free to boost the recommendations from other people that you enjoyed. This year’s #FeedbackFest is all about being a part of a fandom ecosystem, so spread the joy!

Start your reccing, and we’ll see you on the other side – we wish you a happy #IFD2025 again!
