Happy Mother's Day, TMNT fans!

Voice actor reunion!

[tmnt-discourse]

Hello all. I'm back, Sampsonknight, I know I have been gone for sometime and haven't done any kind of managing of the group here or on DA, my apologies. That said I'm back and on my own account I will slowly be posting again, however right now I would like to say hello to you all and announce an event to kick off my return and get this group back to being active once more. 

In the past this group on DA used to host what I called the 12 days of Christmas. Basically, it's an event that goes for 12 days before Christmas, that each of those days have a designated theme attached to that day.

Anyone wanting to participate can write a story or poem based on said theme and if on DA add it to a folder in the group that I will designate for the event or link to the event on Tumblr. 

You can take part in one or all themes or none, it doesn't matter, it's up to you. This is just a fun thing to get the creative juices flowing.

There will be some rules of course but that will be pointed out later. 

All that take part at the end will receive a badge created by me. For the newer members not sure what I mean by badge, it's an art piece that will be of your favorite turtle including your user name on it and the event name. I will give you the badge link to download at the end of the event. As for rules and themes I will be posting the event’s details this weekend. 

Until then thanks for your time and see you all later. 

If anyone has any questions I will answer it the best I can.

Good morning, welcome back to this years tcestweek!

For this month, we're putting on a whole new event with new prompts. The event will start next month, on December 1st, and @proshipful will be checking for new submissions until the end of the month.

Just like the last years, tcest week is a week dedicated to all turtle x turtle pairings in the ninja turtles fandom. Remember, if you create something, use the tag #tcestweek2024 or tag us to have the post reblogged here.

Here are the new prompts!

[ID: An image with a lilac background that says #TCESTWEEK2024 at the top. The description reads "Come join our discord to stay updated!". Beneath that are three columns. The first one is purple, and says "Day 1. Matching, Day 2. Cozy sweaters, Day 3. Snowball fight, Day 4. Baking, Day 5. Nightmares, Day 6. Snowflakes, Day 7. Hibernation." The second column is blue and says "As not everyone celebrates Christmas, the prompts do not centre directly around the event itself, but you may choose to include it in your submissions. You can combine prompts and/or do multiple days at once. You do not need to complete all days Non-tcest ships can be implied or mentioned, but not the main focus of the entry. NSFW and Dead-Dove are acceptable; but tag/warn accordingly. Only submit your own works, NO AI Submissions begin December 1st, and end on December 31st". The third column says "all forms of media welcome, including, but not limited to; digital art, traditional art, mixed media, and fan-fiction. all works must be public." End ID]

I just love both of these! Don needs his 'reward' and Mikey knows just how to loosen Leo up.

Of course Mikey notices something, he's got incredible insight. I guess Raph and Leo are so fixed on each other that they've forgotten that little bro' sees all.

TMNT Adult Fanfiction Awards 2023- Categories

If you're like me, you want to know what categories you'll be making nominations for. Here are the 2023 categories:

Fanfiction of the Year The BEST OF THE BEST that you've read this year. It can be anything from a short one-shot, a spanning multi-chapter piece, ship or no ship, fluff, angst, whatever you want that you think is the best of the year? Nominate it here!

Best Leonardo Portrayal

Fiction that portrays Leonardo in the best ways that you enjoy!

Best Donatello Portrayal

Fiction that portrays Donatello in the best ways that you enjoy!

Best Raphael Portrayal

Fiction that portrays Raphael in the best ways that you enjoy!

Best Michelangelo Portrayal

Fiction that portrays Michelangelo in the best ways that you enjoy!

Best Non-Turtle Portrayal

This is to highlight the best portrayal of a NON-TURTLE character within the nominated work!

Please include the CHARACTER NAME with the TITLE, AUTHOR, and URL so we know which character in that piece that you want to highlight!

Best AU (Alternate Universe)

This is for the fics that change things up from the normal known turtle universes. Anything is allowed as long as it is not from a canon universe within the turtle spaces. 

Such examples can include making cast live in a high fantasy world or maybe they're pirates! This is where you should nominate your favorite alternate universes!

Best Multi-Chapter

These nominations cater to the fics out there that are more than one chapter. Any genre of TMNT fic is allowed to be nominated but it must have more than one chapter to be counted.

Best One Shot

These nominations are for those short one piece fics that are just a mere chapter long. Bite sized pieces of fun! Any genre of TMNT fic is allowed here and the only requirement is that it has to be only one chapter long.

Best Angst

These are the fics out there that make characters go through (usually mental) anguish in some way. Usually these are the 'hard' fics to read, such as things that make you really feel remorse or pain for what they're going through, but more for the heartache feeling.

Best Fluff

These are usually the fics that leave you with butterflies or the urge to "squee" as one might put it. Overall happy feelings are associated with fluffy fics, such as the feeling you get when you pet something soft, heartfelt and kind.

Best Smut

Typically smut refers to a scene or an entire fic. This can be anything from a steamy one shot or a hot multiple chapter fic that really hits that XXX or pornographic scenes. This would be where you would nominate the fics that might have had your toes curl in anticipation for the characters having sex, sexual relations, or simply something erotic done together.

Best Squick

This refers to the type of fiction that may have scenes that are defined as "hardcore" or not everyone's cup of tea. These can refer to fics with things like non-con, dub-con, gore, hyper violence or murder.

Best Comedy

The fics that are essentially made to make the reader laugh! Usually made to provoke humor, or are naturally funny regardless of what is happening in the fiction. If you laughed a lot at a specific fic, here would be where you nominate it!

Best Non-Tcest

This category often refers to both ship and non-shippy fiction regarding the turtles and someone else. Any nominations here can be general or ship related, provided that the ship is not focused on tcest. Examples of these would be things with April and Donatello (either together or simply best friends) or Raphael and Mona.

Best Of ALL Time

THIS IS A SPECIAL NOMINATION THAT BREAKS THE RULES OF OUR "ONLY 2023 FICS!"

This is where you would nominate your FAVORITE FIC OF ALL TIME. It can be from ANY year. 

It can be any genre, ship, non-ship, etc. It does not have to be finished. It can be multichapter or simply a one shot from twenty years ago that you just adore to this day.

This is ONLY nomination that does not have to be from 2023.
