Trans Terror Week 2021
We’re back for another year of Trans Terror Week, brought to you by mods @jamesclarkross, @solomontoaster, and, joining us for the first time, @boilyerheid, who created this years’ graphics and will be running our new Twitter page!
Trans Terror Week will run from November 14-20.
The rules are the same a last year, however, this year we have a new FAQ page (for the mobile accessible FAQ go here) to help with clarification. Thank you to everyone who took the survey earlier in the year to help us make the event better and more inclusive.
Rules and Reminders:
This event is for anyone who is trans, nonbinary or is currently questioning their gender. Our goal is to uplift trans content creators in the Terror fandom and we encourage cis creators to show their support for their trans compatriots.
There is NO restriction on type of content: art, fics, edits, playlists, videos, everything is welcome!
November 14th is also for Creator Spotlights, make a post highlighting your works and we’ll give you a boost!
Please tag your works #transterrorweek/#transterrorweek2021 and/or ping us @transterrorweek to make sure we see your stuff! I recommend using both as a fail safe since Tumblr loves to hide notifications and posts.
Fics can also be added to the Ao3 collection. Simply search for “Trans Terror Week” when posting your fic or follow the link on our blog. Our FAQ has instructions for posting anonymously.
Prompts:
This years prompts are all from poems. As last year, there are two sets of prompts one gendery and one Franklin expedition related. The gender prompts come from a selection of poems by trans, nonbinary and two-spirit authors and the Franklin prompts all come from David Solway’s poetry collection Franklin’s Passage. More information on the poems can be found on our Prompts Page.
Day 1: the way yr hand/cups my belly like water - Summer Haiku | reciting/the litany/of wind and ice - This is a story
Day 2: some comparable/soft bodied animal that drifts - Exquisite Corpse | the plea disguised as transcript,/tragedy presenting itself as information. - The words are fitted
Day 3: Scratching at the name you will inherit - It is velocity that penetrates | Are you ready to deal with polar mirages? - Ask yourself these questions
Day 4: I heave/with your waters and all/they have unmoored - Lake Champlain at Flood Level | We keep the ship clean/for the lady in the long white dress - You can’t eat saxifrage and harebells.
Day 5: Is a mistaken carcass a place for memory? - same title | whether burning on re-entry/or freezing at departure - We trace identical descent
Day 6: the body is not the only ocean - The Year You Bloom | I am walking into the snow/that blinds the eye and makes everything clear. - I am walking in the direction
Day 7: I had thought to be the one to murder you - Dear Gender: An Elegy | a bill of provisions is an empty promise/and words do not sustain us in extremity. - They would gladly have traded the Passage
