#Valentine's Rarepair Fest

[final-milf-ratchet]

Thinking about Skyfire rn... So in honor of Valentine's Day here's a fic I wrote for Skyfire/skywarp for tf rarepair fest last year!

Yes the title is edgy! That's because usually when I think about skysky it gets very edgy lol. Anywho, hope you enjoy!

[smubbles-etc]

February 2023 Smubbles: Rarepairs!

We've planned the next smubbles-writing fest to coincide with Valentine's Day, for anyone who'd like a distraction from that particular holiday. (And anyone who just wants an excuse to make things!)

That means that the next smubbles collection will open for works on 13 Feb 2023, and be anonymous until 16 Feb 2023.

As always, even after authors are revealed the collection will remain open indefinitely for anyone who's running a bit late, or just wants to add things in the future. And as always there are no restrictions on content — we certainly encourage you to create rarepairs, and smut, and drabbles, but honestly anything goes!

In the meantime feel free to join us on Discord for plotting and planning.

In related events:

The @witcher-rarepairs prompt fest will be open for posting fills on AO3 from 1 Feb 2023, if you're looking for inspiration. And if you know of any other ongoing or planned rarepair-focussed events, give them a shout in the notes and we can add them to the schedule!

JSAMN Rarepair Fest 2023!

It’s becoming tradition, so brace yourselves!

This year we’re starting the Rarepair Fest off a bit later because of... reasons! But because of this there will be a new aspect to the exchange: a MAXIMUM WORDCOUNT for authors!

For artists it will not be Big Bang-style “illustrate a fic fill”, but more like an art exchange where you interpret your given prompt in any way you wish.

Everyone in the exchange will receive either a fic or a piece of art based on one of their prompts.

The guidelines:

Please do not ask for these pairings. These are the 5 most popular and dominating pairings in the “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell & Related Fandoms” tag on AO3 from the last 3 years. We love these pairings, but this is a chance to tread new ground and to make rarepair fans very happy indeed! You can use these as background pairings, but please not the main focus of the fic.

BANNED PAIRINGS: John Childermass/John Segundus John Childermass/Henry Lascelles Tom Levy/John Segundus Gilbert Norrell/Jonathan Strange Arabella Strange/Jonathan Strange

Any other pairings or ratings allowed! If you’d prefer gen-fic focused on a particular under-loved character then that’s great too! For single-character prompts, please also avoid any characters mentioned in the pairings above. If you’re struggling for inspiration, the Learned Society has kindly provided a crowd-sourced list of possibilities which you can peruse here.

Any ratings allowed

Maximum fic length of 2000 words.

Art fills must be a finished piece on unlined paper/digital, no sketches.

Age limit of 18+ due to explicit submissions

You will be allocated an exchange participant based on your pairing preference selection (more below!)

All fics and art will be uploaded to the AO3 collection, although you are very much encouraged to also post fills to tumblr/social media account of your choice

To participate you must:

Have an AO3 account (for artists, too, so we can keep all the final products together in this collection!)

Be over the age of 18

Love the underappreciated characters of the Clarkeverse!

Work well on a deadline!

To sign up, please send an email to speakingskies [at] gmail.com specifying in the body of the email:

Your AO3 account name

A list of up to three pairings or characters wish to receive a fic about  or art of (please stick to three maximum for admin reasons!)

A brief (200 words max) prompt for each pairing, one that can be conceivably covered in a 1k fic or single piece of art

Any triggers, squicks or NOTPs?

Are you signing up as a writer or an artist? (Or if you are multi-talented, if you will make up your mind based on the prompt you receive)

Are you up for being a pinch hitter if someone drops out?

The deadline for signing up is 14th January 2023. After this a Google Form of submitted pairings will be sent out to you. You will rate your favourites and will be allocated a recipient based on your selections – if two people rate the same pairing as their favourite, the first person to have completed the form will be given that as their prompt, and the second person will receive their second choice.

You will be sent your pairing and full prompt before 21st January 2023.

The submission deadline for entries is 12th February 2023, and submissions will be revealed on the 14th.

You will upload your submission to the JSAMN Valentine’s Rarepair Fest AO3 collection, and gift it to your recipient.

The works will remain anonymous for a week after the reveal. After that, the authors will be unveiled.

Reminders will be sent a week before the deadline, so please do contact me using an email that you check regularly, or set up forwarding or alerts for that email. Please note that these are all hard deadlines. If you need to drop out for any reason, please let me know at the earliest opportunity.

If you have any questions please do DM me or email on speakingskies [at] gmail.com

Jonty Scratch & DJ Norrell - A Fandom Tribute Fest

Learned Society of Pirates Book Swap 2022

 Coming in 2023: I don’t want to make promises, ever, because projects die and get born on me all the time, but I am hoping for Leggy Blonde 3 to write itself, please, and the vianton sequel that covers the other half of the plotbunny if possible, and maybe mumble mumble something band AU if that ever evolves beyond me writing fake lore.

Knowing me, it’ll probably be none of these things.

Since I didn’t get tagged, I’m not going to tag anyone either, but I would love to see any of my writer and artistically gifted friends do it if they want!

JSAMN Valentine’s Rarepair Fest 2022!

Last year we had a great time celebrating the lesser-spotted pairings and characters in our little (but sprawling) fandom, and I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone step outside their usual comfort zones again!

This year we’re starting the Rarepair Fest off a bit earlier to give participants a bit more time, and are also (very excitingly!) extending participation to artists, too!

For artists it will not be Big Bang-style “illustrate a fic fill”, but more like an art exchange where you interpret your given prompt in any way you wish.

Everyone in the exchange will receive either a fic or a piece of art based on one of their prompts.

CAMELOVE is back for 2022 with a twist! This year, we’re celebrating both Valentine's Day and Aromantic Appreciation Week on two separate weeks. There are no sign-ups, minimums or restrictions. Feel free to create anything that you think fits the prompts, whether that be fanfiction, gifs, edits, poetry, character or episode analysis.

Don’t forget to tag your submissions with #camelove2022 so we can reblog and show our appreciation for your submissions, and feel free to put anything you post on AO3 in the Camelove AO3 Collection.

For a more comprehensive description of each prompt, click the “keep reading” button at the end of this post. And if you have any questions, feel free to check out our FAQ or send us an ask!

Valentine’s Day Celebration

Feb 14: OTP Day | Have a ship you’ve been rooting for since the start of time itself? This is where you scream yourself hoarse. Your OTP doesn’t have to be a popular ship nor does it need to be romantic! | Merlin x Gwen x Arthur, Gwaine & Percival, Sefa x Kara

Feb 15: Rarepair Day | On this day you’re rooting for the ships that you think don’t get enough appreciation in the fandom. Feel free to use your own definition of a rarepair! If you think there isn’t enough content for a pairing, that’s more than enough reason to create for it. | Ygraine & Nimueh, knights!polyamory, Leon x Mithian

Feb 16: Non-ship Day | You know those pairings you normally wouldn’t ship? How about we put up with them for one day and make something out of goodwill? We all like different things, and that’s completely fine! Let’s all extend our hands in fandom shipping solidarity.

Aromantic Appreciation Week Celebration

Feb 21: Aromantic Day | Aromanticism can take on many forms and have a different meaning for each person. This day is designed specifically for your aromantic readings of the show. Have a character you headcannon as aromantic? Does an action someone does in the show relate to you as an aromantic person? Do you read aromantic themes in subjects the show touches on? Share your thoughts!

Feb 22: Platonic Day | Let’s throw amatonormativity out of the window. We’re breaking the notion that romantic love is the highest form of love and showing people the beauty of non-romantic bonds, whether it’s a familial relationship, friendship, QPR or something else entirely!

Feb 23: Aplatonic Day | Who said love or attraction is necessary for happiness, an essential part of being human or an important factor in experiencing life? There are so many things that make life beautiful besides love and attraction. This day is dedicated to aplatonics, loveless aromantics, and people who don’t feel different tertiary attractions, or any of them at all!

Thank you to @arthurpendragonns and a friend of ours, both members of the aromantic community, for their advisory help with the fest.

THE 2023 VALENTINE'S RAREPAIR FIC FEST IS NOW LIVE!

Go explore the rarest of pairs and support your Learned Colleagues! 💕💕💕

[torchwoodfanfests]

Torchwood Fan Fests presents: The 2021 Femslash Fest!

The first fest of 2021 will be a Femslash Fest!

Starting today and until February 20th, we will be running a fest dedicated to all the wonderful ladies from Torchwood and putting the focus on the much underrated world of f/f ships!

While ‘femslash’ generally denotes either romantic or sexual relationships between women, we explicitly want this fest to include adjacent variants of gen fanworks as well - from gen explorations of the sexual identity of female characters to fanworks which highlight female friendship and the intricacies of the found family dynamics of this dysfunctional bunch of bisexuals - it’s all welcome! So make that art of the team at pride! Write that fic about a character coming to terms with her queerness! Make that edit featuring your fave wlw ship! We want all of it!

This will be an open fest, no need to sign up, all you need to do is create a fanwork inspired by the theme and submit it to us at any point for the duration of the fest (submission link will be in the notes and in our header, as will be the link to the ao3 collection).

We have come up with 20 optional prompts for this fest. We provide these prompts with the intention of helping creators by hopefully sparking some interesting ideas; however, we will not require that submissions fit into one of them, so long as they fit the general theme. You can take them or leave them!

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day! Ninjago Creators Anonymous here 🥰 Are there any self-indulgent tropes/fics that you've written? Doesn't matter if they ended up being a crowd pleaser or not! Any that you'd like to write?

Thanks for the ask! I think most of what I write is very self-indulgent, especially since I stopped focusing on fests. Nowadays I try to mostly write things that really excite me, such as all the Kai focused stuff, especially the red shogun fic I have coming. Trope-wise I tend to go for hurt/comfort or I used to do a lot of fluff. Also I got into fic to write for a rarepair so that’s all been pretty indulgent too
