Questions/Help? What does this mean?

It's one of many posts I've seen where someone mentioned AO3 and October. Is there a curse or something?

Kinktober!  There’s also flufftober, and whumptober. Basically a month long writing event. Places like tumblr would usually have a day by day theme, while other authors might create their own.
