I think we should. use our mutuals inboxes like gacha games and roll to get rare OC pulls . and skins. I'm like "oh shittt the Easter Event is coming up, I need to pull for the new skins" so I go into someone's inbox and send them. I dunno. a picture of a quarter. and they respond with a drawing of a random OC of theirs in a bunny onesie

♥ #ockiss26 MINI FAQ ♥
What is OCkiss? It’s a week long event in which artists, writers and other creators produce content about OCs kissing.
Who can participate in OCkiss? Do you have an OC? Do you want to participate in OCkiss? Congrats, you’re in! Create something and upload it during the event with the tag #ockiss26
My OC doesn’t have a significant other, can I still participate? Of course! OCkiss is not restricted to romantic kisses - they can be friendly, they can be familiar, they can just be kissing their pet!
Can I use other people’s OCs? If they have stated that their OCs are up for grabs for this event, of course! If you’re not sure, please, please always ask the OC’s owner first.
I’m a bit lost and don’t know what to create! You can ask other people for prompts, make your own, or follow the official #ockiss26 prompt list down below!
Can I participate with OCxCanon!character content? No.
If you have more questions, please refer to the main FAQ! Whole FAQ under a Read More at the end of the post for people who have difficulty accessing it!
Remember to tag your OCkiss creations with the #ockiss26 tag! I aim to reblog everybody who participates and I will set up a queue to that effect. Reblog culture has gone down on Tumblr, and I want to change that and promote creators to the best of my ability - it would be awesome if you joined me on this! If you don’t want your work to be reblogged here, please say so in the tags!

OCkiss FAQ
• What is OCkiss?
It’s a week long event in which artists, writers and other creatives produce content about OCs kissing.
• Who can participate in OCkiss?
Do you have an OC? Do you want to participate in OCkiss? Congrats, you’re in! Create something and upload it during the event with the tag #ockiss26
• I don’t have an OC but I want to participate!
Consider making an OC just for the event, or challenge yourself and create one based on a random character generator! It could be a great exercise in creativity!
• My OC doesn’t have a significant other, can I still participate?
Of course! OCkiss is not restricted to romantic kisses - they can be friendly, they can be familiar, they can just be kissing their pet!
• Can I participate by doing a collab with another creator?
Absolutely.
• Can I use other people’s OCs?
If they have stated that their OCs are up for grabs for this event, of course! If you’re not sure, please, please always ask the OC’s owner first.
• Can I participate with OCxCanon!character content?
No. This event is to uplift creators of original characters! HOWEVER, you can participate with fandom OCs and Player Characters that are customized.
Due to constant harassment about canon characters, if you participate with OCxCanon, I will block you for hijacking the event and misusing our official tags, and you will lose access to this blog.
• Are fankids allowed?
No.
• Is OCxCanon allowed in the background, but the main protagonists are OCxOC? (Or any other version of this question)
No.
• Are there rating/nsfw/nsft restrictions?
Go nuts, show nuts. Whatever. (Tag appropriately)
• Who runs this blog?
That would be @artofmisi
• If you don’t own OCkiss, why are you organizing it?
I had been organizing this event three years in a row over at my artblog @artofmisi and people kept asking me, and they say three time’s the charm, so I went for it as a way of having things organized in one blog, and so people who want to participate in my version of this event can have an updated and controlled place to stay informed. Also, I just love OCkiss :P
• Has OCkiss been organized by other people?
Absolutely, and I take no credit for their idea nor their work! As far as I’m aware of, @/becausedragonage is the first one who did it on this post in 2016 with #ockiss16, and then @/slavetothemocha followed with #ockiss17 the following year on this post. From 2018 until this day, I have organized it every year. I’m not aware of other people organizing it, but if you do, please let me know and I will add them to this list!
• Is OCkiss exclusive to Tumblr?
You can participate and post on your preferred social media, however, OCkiss will only be sharing entries here on Tumblr. There are two reasons for it: 1) I really want to help reblog culture on this site, and promote creators by sharing their work and 2) I simply don’t have time to check every social network!
• Why is it in February / will it always be in February?
Why: because I want to fill St. Capitalism-dressed-as-Love week with genuine enthusiasm and love towards original characters and their creators. So yes, this version of the event on this blog will always be organized for whatever week Valentine’s falls on that year.
