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!

It's so great that you're organizing this - and a special "thank you kindly" for making the themes and schedules so flexible! (PS. The Tumblr/DW info post links on the AO3 collection profile go back to the collection profile, might want to fix them at some point.)

No problem, flexibility is the idea!

Oh damn, every time linking something on AO3 defeats me haha. I'll fix them asap, thank you very much for pointing it out!

Yep, should be working now!
