Ships of the rainbow is coming back for 2023!
Once again, the theme of the event is multi-colored hair and multshipping. The basic idea is that you pick one character to center around, and every day, you create a fanwork about them with a different character.
Day one would be red, day two would be orange, day three would be yellow/blonde, day four would be green, day five would be blue, day six would be purple, and day seven would be a color of your choice, be it pink, white, brunnete, etc. Or, if you know a character with indigo hair as well, you shuffle them in on day six and put purple on day seven. You’re allowed to define colors how you want to, or mix up with signature instead of hair color if need be.
There aren’t many rules, and it’s a super casual affair. There will be an ao3 collection open for submissions during the selected dates, and that is the only way to submit. If you do not have an ao3 account, you can sign up for free, and I would suggest doing so as soon as possible, as there can be a wait time.
The only things that will not be permitted in the collection are any works depicting real people (rpf) and anything promoting irl hatespeech. Other than that, go hog wild.
Works should be posted concurrently for one week during the selected dates but if you can’t do it all in one week, as long as it done within those dates.
The dates for this event are August 27th-September 30th, which gives five weeks to do your own rainbow week submission!
