Minor Korra Character Madness 2026 - A week of fan creation. (October 5th - October 9th, 2026)
Premise:
Do you love Korra? Of course you do, who doesn't. But what about that snappily designed background character they never gave a name? That mobster that shows up in a few episodes? Maybe a very cool, somewhat more plot-relevant character that didn't get as many appearances as you wish they did? If you love minor Korra characters, this is the fanweek for you!
Follow this blog for more updates and resources. Thank you for your interest.

Can I cross-post my works to other platforms?
Absolutely! MCKM will not have any other cross-platform accounts besides the Tumblr and AO3 collection, but don't let this stop you from posting your event works wherever you want. If so, linking to the event is appreciated, but not required.

Very excited to see this event popping up! It sounds like so much fun 💚! I wanted to ask a quick question: If we write a story featuring a minor character paired with a main character, say Eska/Bolin, I presume this is accepted for the event?
Yes, absolutely!
I wasn't sure if I made that clear enough on our rules page, so thanks for asking so I can clarify!
So long as a minor character of some sort is featured in some way in your entry for MKCM, it will be accepted. That means ships and interactions with main characters are totally welcome!
MINOR KORRA CHARACTER MADNESS 2026 rules and guidelines.
Rules for MKCM 2026 will be simple and easy to follow. They are as follows:
This event is 18+. While many prompts and submissions may be Gen and non-explicit, the possibility for explicit material is wide open and not discouraged, and we would rather not have minors participating in an event that could host adult blogs and themes.
Any medium of fanwork is allowed. Fanart, fanfiction, essays, edits, et cetera, are all permitted!
Keep focus on minor and background characters, please! We know this is a very subjective metric, but besides characters that are obvious exceptions, like the main Korra Krew, this rule won't be enforced with strict scrutinization. As long as a minor character is a main focus in your fanwork, main characters are more than welcome to make a supporting appearance.

Prompts not mandatory, but will be provided. For each of the five days of the event, 2 prompts will be given to use/choose from. Prompt suggestion and voting will commence far in advance of the start of the event.
Fanworks must have appropriate content warnings. Basic internet etiquette around any sensitive content you include in your works should be followed.
Use of AI is strictly prohibited. Any fanworks made using AI will not be accepted as submissions.
Harassment will not be tolerated. All participants will be treated with courtesy.
