Then we'll have 12 hours for final edits and at night, we feast!

[ID: Text in the center says Polyam Shipping Day, 14th of every month, December 2025 - Ornamental. Below Polyam Shipping, and to the left of Day, is a red infinity sign that finishes in a heart on top. Surrounding the text are rows of stylized hearts in the colors of both versions of the polyam pride flag (black, red, bright blue, light green, dark green, light blue, navy). Either side of the prompt are emojis, amphora on the left and framed picture on the right. /end ID]
December 14th is our 52nd Polyam Shipping Day
Our optional prompt this month is đșOrnamental đŒïž
This could be literal ornaments whether everyday or seasonal - holiday decorations, knick-knacks on shelves, souvenirs, plants, art, jewellery or other aesthetic items. Perhaps they're helping someone decorate an apartment or adding their touch to something. Do the characters like ornamental gifts or do they prefer practical items only? It could also be ritualised or highly aesthetic versions of purposeful items, like ornamental weapons, armour or dress uniforms, or even a location that's more ornament than function. Or people judged to be ornamental, a trophy partner, and do they prove them wrong?
As per usual, youâre welcome to create for any of our previous prompts as well!
â
Weâll be tracking #PolyamShippingDay, and keeping an eye out for any @polyamships mentions too. We will reblog any polyam-positive fanworks featuring polyamorous ships of any configuration/type from any fandom. All ratings are welcome but anything nsfw/triggery should be warned for and behind a read more, as should very long tumblr fic.
You can also submit works directly to the blog or send us asks to let us know to check your blog for a post. If youâre posting on AO3, our collection name is âPolyamShippingDayâ and you can post to the collection here. Only fanworks submitted/@ us on tumblr or in the official AO3 collection, or fanworks posted to our Dreamwidth community, are guaranteed to be included in our roundup. Please also let us know what prompt you created for, if any - people are always welcome to create for past prompts instead.
We have a Discord - invite here - if you want a place to chat about your ships or what youâre creating for them.
We look forward to seeing what people create for it. If youâre enthused about the day, weâd be especially appreciative of any reblogs to help spread the word about the event.

Sorry for the silly question, but what does passing the blorbo mean? Im really curious about this event but i don't really, understand what it is T^T
This event was born of a throwaway comment I read once about passing a characters around in a gangbang like a blunt in a smoker circle.
However, I soon realized there are so many ways to pass the blorbos around!
Here, blorbo gets passed around for hugs and comfort
Here, blorbo gets transformed into a ball and then passed around
Here, blorbo is "tossed" between different subway/train/etc. lines
The idea of this prompt fest is that people prompt as many original ways to "pass someone around" in whatever fandom you're into (or leave it up to the creator if you want!)
This is a fanfiction and podfic exchange for fans of the Netflix series Sense8, organized by @sense8week on tumblr
Mod is reachable at @sense8week or via Dreamwidth PM @ maevedarcy
The schedule for this exchange is as follows. All deadlines are 8PM (GMT-3)
Signups: Dec 1st - Dec 7th
Assignments sent: Dec 7th
Default deadline: Dec 19th (What time is that for me?)
Posting Deadline: Dec 21st (What time is that for me?)
Work Reveals: Dec 24th (What time is that for me?)
Creator Reveals: Dec 31st
Everyone who creates for someone will be guaranteed a gift. If you default (meaning you drop out from the exchange) and your gifter drops out as well, you will not go out as a Pinch Hit.
If this is your first AO3-run exchange, please read the Rules section entirely before signing up.
RULES
This exchange is limited to FANFICTION and PODFIC. This means you can receive or create either for the event. This means you cannot opt out of/DNW getting podfic or fanfic.
Other mediums can be given as treats.
Fics do not have to be holiday themed but can be if you want to.
MINIMUMS
For fic: you must write 300 words original words (never posted before) for your assigned recipient. There is no maximum.
For Podfic: you must pod 300 words of fic for your assigned recipient. There's no minimum or maximum length as long as the fic you're podding meets this rule.
WHAT'S ALLOWED?
All Sense8 ships are allowed (romantic or sexual (/), platonic (&) and QPRs). We are a poly friendly exchange.
All ratings are allowed. Please choose the maximum rating you're willing to receive in your sign up, otherwise you will not be able to submit it.
Crossover and fusions are not allowed at this time.
Character bashing is not allowed.
RPF is not allowed at this time.
NO AI USE IS ALLOWED. USING AI WILL MEAN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THE EXCHANGE COLLECTION AND A PERMANENT BAN.
OTHER IMPORTANT STUFF
Commenting on your gift/treats is MANDATORY. Even if you just comment emojis, please take the time to thank your creator. Not commenting will mean a one year ban from this event.
Please check the AO3 email you have for your account is one you check frequently. The mod might have questions about your signup and may need to contact you.
CLICK BELOW FOR FAQs
Do I need an AO3 account to participate?
Yes, the exchange will be run through AO3. If you need an invite, please message the mod on tumblr.
What if I suddenly can't make my gift and need to drop out?
You can do so by going to My Assignments > Default This will drop your assignment and the person you were creating for will go out as a Pinch Hit
Is there a penalty for defaulting?
Not if you default before Dec 19th
What if I default after Dec 19 (the default deadline)?
Then you won't be allowed to participate next year if the exchange goes ahead for 2026
What are DNWs?
DNWs or Do Not Wants are things that will ruin the gift for you. You must have clearly stated Do Not Wants in your signup Optional Details (do NOT use any html code to hide them, such as the Details tag). If you do not state DNWs, your creator is free to create whatever they want.
DNWs must not be used to box your creator into making a specific gift for you. You do NOT need to explain your DNWs.
For example:
Acceptable DNW: DNW Will as a cop
Unacceptable DNW: DNW stories with Will as a cop, but you can write him saving a kid as a cop in this specific scenario I have for you
Works that hit a DNW that was clearly stated in the signup will not be accepted to the collection and the recipient will go out as a Pinch Hit.
If you receive a work that hits a DNW stated in your signup, please contact the mod immediately.
What is a Pinch Hit?
A Pinch Hit or PH is someone who does not have a creator from the start.
If you are an initial PH, DO NOT FEAR! Sometimes this happens because of making sure everyone has a good match to create for. The best part of being an initial pinch hit is knowing that whoever creates for you wanted you in specific! And don't worry, you will get a gift, even as an initial pinch hit, so long as you create your assigned work!
PHs will be advertised on DW and tumblr. Â
What if someone doesn't have a gift by Dec 24th?
The Exchange will not reveal until everyone who created has a gift. This might result in a one-week delay. As a mod, I will do my best to ensure everyone gets a gift on time.
What is a treat?
A treat is an extra gift that someone who was not matched to you makes out of the goodness of their heart. If you are open to receiving treats in a different medium, please say so in your optional details.
You are allowed to not want treats in a specific medium (for example, you might not want fanart or gifs, if so, please say it in your optional details!)
Additionally, you need to go on AO3 > Preferences >Collections, Challenges and Gifts and tick the box that says "Allow gift from anyone"
Treats are not guaranteed, but they're great surprises to get!
The minimum for treats is 100 words of fic or podfic.
If you wish to treat someone something different, like fanart or gifs, you are allowed to do so!
What's a 'Dear Creator Letter'?
It's an optional post where you can rave about Sense8 and your favorite characters if it did not fit into your signup. You can host it on Dreamwidth or Tumblr ON A PUBLIC POST and link it to your signup. DNWs stated in your Letter but not on your signup will not be enforced.
I want a ship that's not canonical in the Archive and does not appear when I look for it, what can I do?
First of all: yippee!
Second: please contact the mod at tumblr so they can add it to the tagset associated with the exchange and you can request it.
