30 Below themes & prompts

[flownwrong]

So! Themes & prompts.
Obviously, new fanworks themselves are welcome and appreciated — here's the AO3 collection you can add them to — but these are ideas for what else you can do.
Most of these must be well-trodden ground for all of you. So feel free to riff on them or do something else entirely. If you can’t make it during your week of choice, post whenever!

🐢Fanwork week (March 11-17)

• leave those sweet sweet comments on things old and new
• recs galore: creator samplers, themed lists, self-recs — and not just for fic!
• do a creator shout-out
• go transformative: podfic, remix, translate (don’t forget about permission!)

🐢Character week (March 18-24)

• write that character study/meta you keep putting off
• share canon bits that made you appreciate your darlings
• give the ensemble cast and one-off faves some love
• rec some character-focused works 

🐢Shippy week (March 25-31)

• write a ship manifesto — yes, in 2024! 
• share your headcanons and favourite tropes
• there’s more to it than OTP: play around, peek outside your comfort zone, pair those spares!

🐢History week (April 1-7)

• share some of your personal fannish history
• glimpse into the past: Wayback Machine is your friend, as are creator sites and older fandom spaces just waiting to be scrolled through
• dust off your archives. have something hard to find? maybe someone is looking!
• you’re the one looking? ask around!

🐢Canon appreciation week (April 8-14)

• meta hour — write some, rec some, join a discussion or start your own!
• rewatch a scene, an episode, a season, the whole show thrice — and liveblog it! do a group rewatch! take notes and turn them into a research paper!
• unleash your inner doylist and talk about behind-the-stage shenanigans

🐢Canadian 6 Degrees week (April 15-21)

• time to remember all that stuff you watched to see more of a beloved face!
• haven’t seen any? now is the time! (although the crowd here is unlikely to not have seen any ;)
  
• of course, create, share and comment on fanworks — they need more eyes on them!

🐢Go wild week! (April 22-30)

• This week is a free-for all. Tie up those loose ends — or jump onto this train, it still hasn’t left!

Ask away if something isn't clear!
