Cherik Week 2026 is almost here! Are you ready, my fellow mutants?
From Monday (June 1st) to Sunday (June 7th) we will celebrate our favorite ship with a different dynamic! REMEMBER to use the hashtag (#CherikWeek2026) so we can find your post and reblog it. If you don't see your post on our blog, let us know so we can share it. We want all our fellow mutants to feel seen and appreciated!
It's very important that we understand we are celebrating our ship, so the stories, art and more, have to be centered on Erik & Charles.
CONTRIBUTION THAT WILL BE ACCEPTED
Content that will NOT be accepted
Any content made with the help of AI in it’s entirety or during any part of the process is prohibited.
If you want to join and participate in this event, please do so for the love of the ship. If you feel you have no skill, this is the perfect time to start with something. We welcome your creations, no matter the skill level - whether you are new or further along your creation journey. We want to encourage you to share your creativity that both makes us feel something and means something to you.
Every day we will provide a general theme that you'll use for inspiration. Included are small prompts that you may use if a little more guidance on how to approach the themes, is needed. If you wish, you can use any prompt you like the most, depending on the day, or you can even use more than one.
It's not obligatory to participate the whole week, you can simply do one or even skip days. Any new creation you make for the fandom will be appreciated!
If you decide to publish on Ao3, remember to upload it to our collection so fans can find the contributions for this year :)
