Hi all!

So, we celebrated the anniversary of the pilot airing last week, and that means the main run of 30 Below is done. I want to thank you all for being so welcoming and excited about this event. It's been awesome celebrating with you <3

However, I will always feel the need to remind you it doesn't mean you can't keep doing things under the fest umbrella :) In fact, it would be awesome if you do.

Now, for those of you who aren't on tumblr much but want to catch up: making some masterlists would be a massive amount of work, but theoretically doable; however, it makes little sense to list individual post links, even sorted by themes, when there's a whole blog of tagged posts to explore.

So here's the navigation guide posted on tumblr itself. All the tag names in it are clickable, and there are search pointers at the end so you can see.

The list isn't comprehensive (e.g. there's one fanmix that didn't make the list in the post, as well as some characters and ships, and some c6d fandoms), so just try out other tags in the blog search (not general tumblr search)—it's the search bar at the top if you open blog in this view and the search icon to the left of "posts/likes/following" if you open this view. However, bear in mind that tumblr search is... imperfect, to put it mildly, so you might miss some entries. I am sorry about that, if I find a way around that, I'll update this post!

And of course, if you want to just dive right in and make sure you don't miss even one post, you can scroll through the whole blog as well! It's only 28 pages ;)

Current Mood: accomplished

And finally we arrive at the actual anniversary date!

This week's only goal is to do whatever your heart desires. There are no prompts.

Think of it as amnesty period, if you'd like. Only there's still no deadline and no pressure! The whole year is anniversary year. You're never too late. The AO3 collection is open indefinitely.

If you want to do your thing in your circle, that's great! If you want others to see it, please link or post it here or over at dsvirtualbar. Plus, let me know if you want any of it crossposted or linked at the fest's tumblr blog!

Since there's way too much participation on tumblr to fit into a masterpost—at least for me right now—I will make a tags rundown post soon to help you navigate the blog and see all the fun going on over there!

Happy anniversary, my friends!

Canon week might look like it's done, but we have more than one canon to enjoy.

This week's goal is to wander further into the Dominion of Canada.

Some things you can do:

review all that stuff you watched to see more of a beloved face!
or watch some more, there's always more
of course, create, share and comment on fanworks — they need more eyes on them!

Prompts are optional, and you can interpret the theme however you see fit. Wanna do something else this week or do the C6D thing later? No worries! The AO3 collection is open indefinitely and there are no hard deadlines for participation.

Off we go toward more greatness!

Hope all of you had fun looking back! Now, back to basics.

This week's goal is to embrace the joys of the due South canon.

Some things you can do:

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
just talk about why you love it, really!

Prompts are optional, and you can interpret the theme however you see fit. Wanna do something else this week or do the canon thing later? No worries! The AO3 collection is open indefinitely and there are no hard deadlines for participation.

That's about it!

Woohoo, three weeks done! Thank you for the fun contributions.

This week's goal is to do a little time travel.

Some things you can do:

dive back into older fandom spaces just waiting to be scrolled through (check out the resources!)
unearth some old and obscure fanworks
dust off your archives. have something hard to find? maybe someone is looking!

Prompts are optional, and you can interpret the theme however you see fit. Wanna do something else this week or do the history thing later? No worries! The AO3 collection is open indefinitely and there are no hard deadlines for participation.

Safe time travels!

With many apologies, I'm bringing you a very belated reminder about this week's theme. I'm afraid RL has got the better of me this time, but I hope some of you might still wanna do something! As usual, there are no deadlines and no pressure.

This week's goal is to get your shipping goggles on.

Some things you can do:

do a throwback and write a ship manifesto
share your headcanons and favourite tropes
relearn the forgotten art of a fanmix
rarepairs? crack ships? unconventional faves? unleash 'em!

Prompts are optional, and you can interpret the theme however you see fit. Wanna do something else this week or do the shipping thing later? No worries! The AO3 collection is open indefinitely and there are no hard deadlines for participation.

Week one is done, but it doesn't mean the fanwork fun is over! Feel free to continue with it.

This week's goal is to celebrate the show's many characters in any ways you can think of.

Some things you can do:

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
and create your own!

Heya! The fest starts in a week, on March 11th, with Fanwork Week.

Here's the info post, and here are all the themes. I also did a resources post on tumblr, if any of you need ideas to get going or a trip down the memory lane!

Current Mood: excited

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!

Ask away if something isn't clear!

So, in honour of dS turning 30 this year, I decided to do a little something. Namely, a celebration fest.

Here's the tumblr link to the info post, and below is the same info for DW users.

So what is 30 Below?

On April 23rd, 1994, a certain television movie aired in Canada. The rest is 30 years of amazing, rich and lovely history — still going in 2024.

30 below is a fest to celebrate this anniversary, run byflownwrong. Whether you’ve been here from the get-go or just joining the fun — this fest is for you. Let’s spread the love for the wonder that is due South!

( info: )

That's about it! I'll crosspost all the announcements here, if that's okay (bear with me, I'm not very good at DW!)
