A new event is on the horizon!!
Mods are happy to announce that they will be hosting a new event celebrating all the rarepairs in the fandom we all collect and weep over, since we all know there’s never enough content for them. This event will be based on tumblr mainly, though anyone wanting to participate is welcome to host their content on whatever platform they like (AO3, Wattpad, tumblr, pillowfort, etc etc) as long as they provide a link so we can all view it!
As our name suggests, this will be a week long event for rarepairs in the Naruto fandom (rarepairs being any pairing that has no more than 300 stories on AO3. No other platforms will be counted in simply due to lack of time and resources to take all story counts into account, and art popularity, being more difficult to get an estimate on, will not count towards or against a pairing’s ‘rareness’). This includes all three way pairings (and four way, and five, and however many characters you want to have in it) since none on AO3 exceed 300.
This event is scheduled to take place the first full week of May (May 3rd through May 9th), and a prompt list will be released shortly by mods.
As far as rules/regulations:
Stories/Art must be new content, though it can be used for multiple events if the participant desires
Everything must be tagged by the creator - Mods do not have time to sift through every single story that’s created, and won’t reblog anything that they catch isn’t tagged properly (ex: smut not being tagged, graphically art not being tagged, etc etc)
This event is for the Naruto fandom only. Mods understand many love crossovers but mods ask that the pairings themselves stick to Naruto canon characters
Exception to the rule above: this event is OC and Reader Insert friendly! Our main goal is to allow creativity for rarepairs and to allow creators a platform to express their love for the pairings and to hopefully reach an audience that might otherwise be difficult to reach. This considered, mods will be reblogging OC ships as well as reader insert stories - just make sure to tag your art and stories accordingly!
All rarepairs are welcome!
No stories or art will be reblogged before the start of the event/prior to May 3rd - a grace period after the event may take place for a short period (a few weeks to a few months at most).
Stories and art will be reblogged for this event. Moodboards, playlists, anime edits/gif sets, and other content will not be. Mods understand that all of the above are creative works and all take effort to create, and do not wish to diminish the effort that goes into them, but we are not able to reblog everything simply due to time constraints and lack of staffing.
Creators must tag this blog and use the hashtag narutorarepairweek2020 - this way, the mods will be able to find their content and reblog it! Creators are also welcome to message this blog directly if their content hasn’t been reblogged, but we do ask for creators to be patient and not flood us with messages ^^
As of right now, that’s all we have for you! Our asks are always open and we invite everyone to send in questions if they have some, and we look forward to sharing this event with you! Prompt list to come shortly!!
