We’re back! Trans Terror Week 2024 will run November 24-30th.
Between Twitter dying and busy mods (@solomontoaster and @manicpixiedreamjop once again), we are not going to have much of a presence on Twitter this year, though we will be keeping tabs on it. Your best chance at getting a quick response will be one Tumblr!
The rules are the same a last year, detailed on our FAQ page (for the mobile accessible FAQ go here).
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 24th is also for Creator Spotlights, make a post highlighting your works and we’ll give you a boost!
Please tag your works #transterrorweek/#transterrorweek2024 and/or ping us @transterrorweek to make sure we see your stuff! This applies to both Tumblr and Twitter.
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.
