welcome to 12 months of daggers
what
This is a fest dedicated to the Dagger Squadron from the movie Top Gun Maverick. The focus is to highlight a single Dagger member each month and to create something with that Dagger in mind. It can be a fic, it can be art, meta, a playlist whatever you want. As long as the focus is that particular dagger.
when
This will start in May of 2025 since the movie originally came out in May 2022. We're going to start with Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw since he was a main character.
rules
Don't be a dick, seriously. If you don't like something, update your blacklist tags and keep quiet.
The character of the month must be the focus. If you're writing a fic, you can use whatever characters you like, whatever pairing you like, but the focus must be on that character. I.E: if you write a Hangman/Rooster story during the Rooster month the focus must be on him. We want to highlight each individual character to the best of our ability.
You can post wherever you want originally but there must be a Tumblr post so it can be reblogged to this blog. We do have an AO3 collection set up which can be found here
Please tag your posts with #daggerfest so we can find them.
