NeurOFMDivergent Pride Week

June 9-15, 2024. OFMD fan event for creating & sharing fanworks focused on neurodivergent experiences. Mod: @ghostsandmermaids.

[neurofmdivergentprideweek]

Welcome to NeurOFMDivergent Pride Week!

What is NeurOFMDivergent Pride Week?

NeurOFMDivergent Pride Week is a week-long Our Flag Means Death fan event for creating & sharing fanworks focused on neurodivergent experiences. There are prompts for each day, but any content relating to OFMD and neurodivergence is welcome.

When is NeurOFMDivergent Pride Week?

NeurOFMDivergent Pride Week will be June 9-15, 2024.

Why June 9-15?

Because Neurodivergent Pride Day is right in the middle of this week, on June 12!

Where can I find the prompts?

The prompt list for the event can be found here.

Does __ count as neurodivergent?

If you count it as neurodivergent, then I do too. This is a gatekeeping-free event. I believe in self-determination and the freedom to label yourself however you want - and to label your favorite characters however you want!

What kind of fanworks can I create for this event?

Any content and creations are welcome - fanfics, fanart, gif sets, edits, meta posts, headcanons, playlists, cosplay, and more!

Can I create NSFW works?

Yes, as long as you are 18+ and tag everything properly.

How can I participate?

To participate, all you have to do is make some sort of fanwork focused on neurodivergence and post it! Be sure to mention @neurofmdivergentprideweek and use the event tag #NeurOFMDivergentPrideWeek!

Is there an AO3 collection?

Yes! You can find it here.

I’m not neurodivergent. Can I participate?

Of course! While this event is by and for neurodivergent people, neurotypical people are welcome to participate.

Do I have to participate every day?

Nope! You can participate as many times as you want to, whether that means sharing one creation or 20 or just enjoying other people’s art. I am happy to have you here no matter how involved you want to be!

Who’s running NeurOFMDivergent Pride Week?

The creator of this event is @ghostsandmermaids.

I have another question!

You can send an ask to this blog or to my main @ghostsandmermaids.

Our Flag Means Death Remix

What is Our Flag Means Death Remix?

Our Flag Means Death Remix is a remix challenge hosted on AO3. What does remix mean? Well, in short, it’s an opportunity to ‘remix’ fanfiction and art you love! You retell or redraw the story, in your own words or style.

Fanlore has some excellent examples of what a remix can look like!

In the traditional remix, you’re assigned a specific person’s fic/art to remix. You must also have enough fics/art posted for whoever is assigned to remix your work to choose from. There’s a minimum word count (for fics) and a due date. In most cases, it will be a fic-for-fic and art-for-art exchange.

In the fuckery remix, it’s a free-for-all. Anyone can sign up, and fics and art can be posted for the duration of remix week (and beyond!), and there’s absolutely no minimum word count. Art-for-fics and fics-for-art are also allowed. 

Can I sign up for the traditional and fuckery remix? 

Absolutely!

Remix Criteria

To sign up, the works you want to be remixed MUST be hosted on AO3.

To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:

You MUST have at least 3 fics, each at least 500 words long, for 'Our Flag Means Death' - if you want to remix fic/have your fic remixed.

The fics must not be collabs.

At least 3 of your fics MUST be SFW - not rated higher than an M - but your E-rated fics are still eligible to be remixed (unless chosen as a safe work).

OR

You MUST have at least 3 pieces of SFW art for 'Our Flag Means Death' - if you want to remix art/have your art remixed.

Please be aware, if you sign up as 'both' a writer and an artist, you MUST meet both sets of the above criteria.

Although we welcome remixes of E-rated fics, we don't want to put anybody in a position where they have no choice but to read Explicit fics when they may not want to We want to be welcoming to everyone 💜 SFW, in this context, is any fic lower than E-rated.

If you don't meet the above criteria, you are still eligible to take part in Our Flag Means Death Remix Fuckery 2024. You can also absolutely sign up for both versions of the remix!

Remix Fuckery Criteria

Just sign up if you'd like the chance for your works to be remixed! Anyone can claim a prompt, there's no minimum criteria to reach, and (if you select the option) you can receive a remix in an alternative medium to what you originally posted! Multiple people can remix for the same person if they so wish.

You can have as many safe works (works you wouldn't want to be remixed, under any circumstances) as you'd like.

Unfortunately, unlike Our Flag Means Death Remix 2024, there is no guarantee any of your works will be remixed.
