You may do as many or as few prompts as you like. Late submissions happily accepted!
We will also retweet/reblog new creations tagged #shumakoweek even if they don’t fit our prompts, with a limit of one per account per day. We understand some media are tougher to associate with a prompt than others. For example, we don’t expect cosplayers to travel great distances for that new photo or create a prompt-specific outfit, though we’ll happily add it to the appropriate prompt Moment if they do!
What types of post are accepted?
Fanfiction, fanart, fanmixes, edits, headcanons, videos, and other content mediums that do not violate the rules (see below) and are not reposts of another person’s work will all be accepted. All submissions should free of hate and original for the week (not new chapters of ongoing work or other pre-existing work). We do accept NSFW material but ONLY if the post linking to it is safe for work.
On Tumblr: You can either post the content on your own blog and we will reblog it here, or you can submit it to us at /submit. If you are posting on your own blog, make sure to mention @shumakoweek in the caption and use #shumakoweek in the tags.
On Twitter: Tweet with the hastag #shumakoweek. We will be following that.
There is NO DEADLINE to submit content. All late content will be accepted.
I want to do something but I’m not a creator!
1. You can become one! Go for it!
2. You can also participate by supporting the creators! Have you ever left a comment? Maybe it’s time to give it a try! If you have before, maybe set a new goal for yourself: Comment once a day! Comment on every piece you consume! Challenge yourself!
Our team spans many time zones but work and life still happens. Please bear with us if we don’t retweet/reblog immediately. If your post doesn’t violate any of the rules and still hasn’t been retweeted/reblogged, please send an ask in! We may have missed it.
NSFW make take us longer to retweet/reblog because we have fewer people reviewing them for rule compliance and of course they can’t review them from work :)
NSFW (involving sex/porn) materials is accepted but ONLY if the post linking to it: (i) Is completely safe for work, no explicit previews even on hover, (ii) the link is clearly marked as NSFW, (iii) the post is acceptable on the platform on which it is submitted and (iv) does not involve photographs/videos of real humans. Basically anyone should be able to read our blog safely at work.
While we love a lot of ships over here at @shumakoweek, we want to keep this week focused on ShuMako only, so we won’t be reblogging OT3s and other poly pairings that include the characters.
Any reposts we are mentioned or tagged in will not be reblogged here, and will be reported to the original creator or flagged.
Minor/adult ships of any kind (between a character over 18 and a character under 18) are strictly forbidden from appearing or being implied in the work.
Submissions should be new for the event. You can get started before the event begins, but their first posting should be for ShuMako Week, even if late.
Please don’t make your work a continuation or new chapter of an ongoing story, or part of an ongoing comic. The work cannot be part of something that has been posted prior to the event.
Make sure to use the appropriate tags for your content when you post it, including but not limited to death, injury, blood, etc.
Please keep your content hate-free, this includes hate targeted at other characters or ships.
The mods of @shumakoweek are people too. We reserve the right to avoid handling the content of anyone who harasses our mods.
