[vsmp-rarepair-ficfight]

Welcome to the Vampires SMP Rarepair FicFight!

VSMP Rarepair FicFight is an event lasting four weeks where two teams will compete to earn the most points by writing fanfiction and drawing fanart centered around relationships (romantic and platonic) that aren't as popular. Participants will be creating works for other players to make sure everyone gets the rarepairs they're interested in, and everyone will receive at least one work by the end of the event.

Timeline

Server opens UTC 18:00 on June 1

Sign-ups open UTC 12:00 on June 15

Sign-ups close UTC 18:00 on June 29

Event starts UTC 12:00 on July 1

Event ends UTC 18:00 on July 28

Server closes UTC 18:00 on August 1

Rules

Be respectful of everyone involved in the event. If you disagree with or dislike someone, keep it outside of the event.

You must be at least 13 years old to participate. To create or receive works containing adult content, you must be at least 18 years old.

No AI generated content of any kind. If you are using AI to create your works in any capacity, you will be removed from the event.

You must be a part of the Discord server (linked at the bottom of this post) for the duration of the event in order to communicate with moderators. If you leave the server or are banned, you will no longer be in the event. You are free to leave once the event is over.

All works must comply with the giftee's DNW and requested tags. If you break people's DNWs or give non-requested gifts, you may be removed from the event.

This event is for writing and drawing, and does not extend to things such as games, book binding, podfics, webweaves, etc. Drawing can include digital or traditional art, including any mediums of traditional art such as paint, colored pencil, marker, etc. All works must be posted to your team's ao3 collection and gifted to another participant in the event.

Any topics can be included in works for this event, including content that is dark or upsetting, as long as it complies with the giftee's DNW and adult content is only created by and for adults. The only exception is sexual content made of real-life people who are currently minors, including their characters. Characters created when the individual was a minor are not included if the creator is no longer a minor.

PLEASE NOTE: This event welcomes those who follow creator boundaries and those who don't. As long as you can be respectful towards those you disagree with, you can participate. Creator boundaries can be very contradicting and confusing (ex. cc!Legundo not wanting anyone to portray his character with alcohol, but then semi-canonizing his character being an alcoholic) and therefore this event will not enforce any sort of creator boundaries. You are welcome to follow creator boundaries yourself in your own works, but you will be banned if you argue with anyone about this. Be respectful and considerate.

Because this event is centered around more niche relationships, the following relationships will not be allowed in sign-ups:

Avid/Scott

Scott & Shelby

Louis/Owen

Legundo/Owen

Cleo/Pearl

Pyro & Scott

Owen & Scott

Avid & Shelby

Avid & Drift

Pyro/Scott

Any other relationships are fine. You are welcome to include these relationships in your works as long as they are not the primary focus of the fic. You are also allowed to include these relationships in polyamorous relationships (eg. Owen/Pyro/Scott).

Have any questions? Send an ask here or on Discord!

Hello hello! I have a question, I'm hoping you will have an answer but if not that is fine :)

So I have a sideblog dedicated to making a drawing of one of my favorite mcyters every day, but I am really really bad at doing that (as in I keep missing weeks on end, but that's okay this time because I said I wouldn't be available to draw for most of May), and my sister and I were discussing and she thinks I should have some other mods that will also sometimes draw things. Of course I will probably be the main mod, especially now that school has ended recently and I am free. But I was wondering if you knew how I should go about this? Like how do I get mods :,) I don't even know if other people will want to be mods because I only have 8 followers on that sideblog. I have asked my sister but she said no. That's a shame but it's fine

Um so yeah that's it. Thanks I'm advance :))

Hello!

I'd recommend you make a post on the sideblog explaining what the blog is and sharing that you're looking for more mods. And remember to tag us in the post so we can reblog it!

It's up to you whether to tell interested people to simply message you or if you want to go through a more complicated selection process by having them submit a portfolio through a google form for example, but if you don't think you'll have many applications to go through I'd recommend the first option.

And don't have concerns about not getting other mods keep you from posting! Things that aren't shared at all never get any attention regardless. If you don't get any interest this time, you can always try again later.

[atthecrossroadszine]

Good news! Moderator applications for At The Crossroads zine are being extended to June 5th—if you or someone you know would be interested, please find the application form here: https://tinyurl.com/AWTDEmod. Thank you for helping make this a success!

(As a sneak peak, contributor applications will open quite soon after mod applications close!)

[falsesymmetryzine]

Imp and Skizz collab animation project!

I initially started on this project two years ago, but I'm going to try and get legs under this again! This is a project that I have designed for artists who have experience animating, those that want to try a very quick shot to animate, and people that would like to contribute a drawing instead of an animation! There's also plenty of flexibility on what is being drawn, so take a look and spread the word to artists of all skill level! I'd love for this to be finished one day and to show Impulse and Skizz!

I have the very rough storyboard already done, and a few more refined storyboards have been made by myself and those who originally expressed interest.

Take a look at the various roles under the cut! Most importantly, fill in the form and share with those that would like to get involved with a large project that doesn't require any prior experience!

[mcytimpromptster]

Mod Applications

Calling all Captains, this is the MCYT Impromptster speaking. We are in need of additional support handling the crew of this year's event (we're unsure if word has made it around your parts of the galaxy, but last year's voyage had a few impromptsters), and that could be you! If you'd like to join us on our 2026 voyage through the creative universe, please submit an application here by June 11th. We can't wait to hear from you!

Potential crewmates, keep a weather eye on this blog for information on how to participate!

[boatboys-zine]

Boat Boys Zine is here!

We are happy to announce that the Boat Boys Zine is finally released!

Download it here on Itch.io !

With about 20 Contributors and over 30 individual pieces created, this zine features different eras of smalletho and their obsession. From the firey beginnings of Double Life, through the rocky Life Series and peaceful Hermitcraft, to Alternative Universes with endless stories to tell!

We hope you enjoy reading BBZ as much as we have enjoyed making it.

Neck kisses!

[liferadayjune]

Hello all, and welcome to Third life Lifer a day June!!

Calendar text description under cut at bottom!

How this event works:

1. Look at the calendar and draw, write, craft, or something else creative about the prompt of the day! We have days for the individual Lifers themselves, but also some fun Special Days, too!

2. If you want your work to be shown in this blog (we're going to try to reblog pieces as much as possible), tag this blog ( @liferadayjune ), or tag your post '#liferadayjune' or '#liferadayjune2026'!

3. Keep things PG-13 (no NFWF, unless it is things like injuries, and in that case, make sure to tag it accordingly)! More mature themes will not been shown on this blog so that everyone can enjoy (so if it is triggering at all, then it won't be reblogged here).

4. NO tracing, using + claiming it as yours, or any other crap like that with other people's art.

5. And ABSOLUTELY NO AI!! This event is for your art (whether it's digital, traditional, writing, poetry, crafts, or anything else creative), and is a celebration of YOU and the community, and most definitely not for AI.

6. If you ever have any questions, need something cleared up, or anything else, just reach out to us! We're here to help, and make this go as smoothly as possible :)

how would one make and hold applications for a mcyt dating sim game?

people use google forms to create the application. some basic information like name and contact info (some people like using emails or social media acounts). questions like what position they are applying for, prior/related experience, optional a portfolio of prior work art/writing/etc.

typical roles for these projects are: writing/art (able to give contributors feedback on their works), and communications. for a dating sim i would assume that you would need someone with experience in game design to compile everything together. and some projects have a dedicated person for admin stuff, like to handle a spreadsheet (or something similar) to track of contributors, deadlines, and such.

always very clearly indicate when the application closes! and making a dedicated blog for the project is very important, it helps gives applicants one place to find the needed information.

[mcytblrsource]

Hello!! The majority of what I see on this blog is hermitcraft and life series related, so I was just wondering if you ever post/reblog anything lifesteal and unstable smp related? No worries of not, I am just curious since that's my current mcyt hyperfixation ^^ thanks!

Hello anon! We reblog anything and everything regarding to MCYTblr not just Hermitcraft and the Life Series related posts. Hermitcraft and the Life Series are the biggest most active fandom here on tumblr so they would appear more often than other servers/smps.

There is a chance that we could be missing Lifesteal/Unstable Universe related events because they are not using our tracked tag (#mcytblrsource) or we are not tagged in their posts. So if you see an event and such that we haven't reblogged be sure to tag us in the post or send us an ask to the blog!

We sort fandoms with tags, so you can check out the #lifesteal smp tag and the #mcyt tag for multi fandom events.

And if you want to see more events relating to Lifesteal and Unstable Universe you can always start them yourself! My dms are always open if anyone needs help starting an event.

[evergrxxns]

probing interest in a mcyt fanwork exchange/fest for exclusively f/f, f&f, and solo works focusing on women.

tentatively running sometime in august, exact creation period/length tbd. most likely will be an event you'd commit to with a signup, that guarantees everyone at least one gift.

there would be no genderbends allowed in order to keep focus on the real world women creators in these spaces and their characters.

all ages allowed, with a separate 18+ opt in.

who want

no

yes

yes but not in august
