Our heartfelt gratitude to those who contributed with art, fics and edits, and to everyone who helped promote the fest, encouraged and hyped our talented creators!
We’ll continue to share and promote all things Sith obikin, so stay tuned to our upcoming zine interest check❤️🔥
We’re truly glad that such a small niche event gathered so much talent in its first edition, rounding up at 45 works of art and writing shared to celebrate our boys in their darkest versions!
In the mean time, catch up with our AO3 collection🖤
For further action, check out our friends at the upcoming events:
“Obi-Wan said calmly. 'I think you know in your heart that you’re meant for something extraordinary.'
'And you, Master. What does your heart tell you you’re meant for?'
'Infinite sadness,' Obi-Wan said, even while smiling.”
As we enter the next stage of the zine (application form opening on August 15th), we’ll explore the overlap between obikin and poetry, with every month dedicated to an author we love. Without further ado, “A Primer for the Small Weird Loves” by Richard Siken.
“The shadow gathers you unto itself -
And within your furnace heart, you burn in your own flame.
This is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker.
Forever...”
“The first dawn of light in your universe brings pain. The light burns you. It will always burn you. Part of you will always lie upon black glass sand beside a lake of fire while flames chew upon your flesh.”
we're excited to announce the upcoming omegaverse obikin fest. this fest will focus on fanfic writing via ao3, fanart, and all other forms of creative media.

Do you have questions and concerns about our Exchange event? Here's some help!
[under the cut]
Ask us anything || Event schedule
1.- Do I have to be a part of the Discord Server to participate?
No, you do not. However, you're welcome to request a link through any of our socials and join us. The Obianidala server is fairly small in comparison to other servers and we host corners for other ships as well as the trio.
2.- Do I have to do exactly what my giftee required?
No, you are not forced to write the exact prompt your giftee might have stated. However, you MUST abide by their parameters of ships and DNWs (Note that our manual selection will ensure you're paired up with someone that meets best your profile so as to ensure any possible discomfort will not arise. Meaning, if you don't like certain ships or tropes, you will most likely not be paired up with someone who does)
3.- I signed up but I don't think I'll be able to make my gift anymore, what do I do?
Drop-out. We have established November 26 as the deadline for dropping out of the exchange but if you're positive you'll feel this way even before that date comes, we ask you to please drop out using the default button on Ao3 and inform us through socials or mods' private messaging on Discord. Please, do not ghost. No explanation will be needed but we do ask you to inform us of your dropping-out so we can make adjustments and make sure people don't get neglected with their gift(s).
4.- What is a Secret Santa Letter? Is that mandatory for the exchange?
A Secret Santa letter (or just 'Dear Creator Letter') is a text (you can do it on either Google Docs or Tumblr or Livejournal or even here on AO3) where you list all the stuff you'd like to read/see and possibly receive as a gift for an exchange. Here you can go in detail of all your ships, sub-ships, your favorite tropes, personal headcanons or squicks.
The Secret Santa letter is not mandatory but we do heavily encourage you to try and write one out as that is the best way for your gifter to get to know you and know what would be best to give you.
5.- What are treats? Is that mandatory for the exchange?
Treats are extra works that you can give your giftee besides the one you're assigned to give them. You can create as much as you want for your giftee all throughout the exchange after assignments are out but you must do so anonymously if you're doing it before reveal dates.
They are not mandatory.
6.- Can I get more than one person as my giftee?
No. To ensure this exchange causes the least amount of stress possible, we're only allowing one giftee per participant. However, if you want to do stuff for specific individuals in the community while we're hosting this event, you're welcome to do so and the collection will gladly have your work(s) showcased.
7.- I don't want to be paired up with my giftee
That's okay. Reach out to us through socials or mods' private discord messaging and we'll get it sorted.
8.- Is this only going to be hosted on Ao3?
No. While AO3 hosts the sign-ups, all gifts will/can be posted to our other supported sites such as Twitter and/or Tumblr.
9.- I don't have an AO3 account to fill my sign-up
Reach out to us through socials or mods' private discord messaging so you can receive an invite to create an account.
10.- I don't want to drop-out but I don't think I'll be able to meet the deadline
That's okay. Late deliveries will have their window for posting all throughout January for you post your gift. However, we do ask you to disclose the status of your work during due and reveal dates to assure that your giftee is still getting their gift.
11.- Can I request/offer other ship(s) beside Obianidala?
Yes, you can. So long as you have at least one member of the trio in your request, it's okay.
Examples such as Codywan, Sabedala or simply Obikin are welcome. Ships like HanLeia or Reylo are not.
