Not to toot my own horn, but for the last masquerade I wrote a fic called Seven Gallavich Sins that consisted of seven ficlets, each inspired but a different deadly sin, and it got me thinking: there are seven deadly sins, there are seven days in a week... See where I'm going with this? The theme (or themes) for this year's Gallavich Week is Seven Deadly Sins! The fanworks can be as literal or loosely based on the themes as you want. Also, I'll give y'all an extra day to catch up if needed. 😉
GW will run from June 21 to June 28 and the themes for each day are as follows:
21 - Greed
22 - Sloth
23 - Pride
24 - Lust
25 - Wrath
26 - Gluttony
27 - Envy
28 - Catch-up/free space (to post late fanworks for other days or works that don't fit into any day)
As always, all kinds of fanworks are accepted, as long as they are original (obviously, this doesn't apply to things as podfics or stuff based on other fanworks — in this case, as long as the creator of the original fanwork allows it, it's fine). And of course, no AI!
CREATING AND POSTING GUIDELINES (After the break)
How do I participate?
You don’t have to subscribe to anything or announce what you’re doing, you just have to post your work on the appropriate day and tag me on the body of the post using @gallavichthings. It’s important that you tag me properly so that I can be sure to see your post and reblog it.
What types of works are accepted?
Any kind of original fan work is accepted, including but not limited to: fanart, fanfiction (no minimum words required), graphics, gifs and gifsets, videos, and fanmixes. Yes, meta and polls are also accepted (though I do request that you either try to keep them within the theme for each day or post them on the Free Day). You can also remix someone else's work, as long as you have their permission. The use of AI is forbidden.
When can I start posting?
As long as it's already (or still) the correct day for you, post away! Who cares about timezones?
Can I still participate even if I don’t have a Tumblr account?
Absolutely! Just submit something here (http://gallavichthings.tumblr.com/submit).
Can I post on other social media platforms?
You sure can, but I only have Twitter, which I don’t check that often anymore, so I do encourage you to post here as well, so it can be seen by more people.
Is there an AO3 Collection?
Yes, right here. Participation is not mandatory though, and you can rest assured this Collection will not be deleted.
Can I post something that I’ve already posted before?
No, sorry. The works should have been created specifically for GW. You can, however, create a sequel or a different version of a previous work.
Can I post something that is not in English?
Of course. Just make sure that it is original, or that you have the original author’s permission (and, in that case, link to the original too).
Can I make R-rated works?
Yes, just please give any necessary warnings and tell us the rating at the very beginning of the post. If the post is visual (like a fanart or a gifset), it would be nice for you to also tag it accordingly - Tumblr now allowes you to select if a post is deemed for mature audiences or not. It’s not mandatory, but if possible put it under a Read More here on Tumblr and under a spoilers mark (so it’s not instantly visible) on Twitter.
Can I post something that’s AU?
Sure thing! Tag it accordingly though, both for those who want to avoid it and for those who’d like to find it.
Can I post supernatural works, mpreg, genderbends or other more 'niche' content?
Yes! But if it’s a fic, please include it in the warnings.
Can I post more than one work?
Definitely! The more, the merrier. You can post as many works as you want, on as many days as you want, be it one post per day or ten on the same day. Anything goes!
Can I post on more than one day? Do I have to make something for each day?
Again, the more, the merrier! You can post on only one or all days if you wish!
Can I make one work that fits two or more themes?
Sure thing. I only ask that you post it on the day of the last theme included. For example, if you are posting a work that includes the theme from Day 1 and the theme from Day 4, post it on day 4 (just make sure to tell me that it includes both).
Can I write a multi-chaptered fanfiction?
Yes, and you don’t have to post everything either. When you do, just be sure to include either a masterpost, or the links to the previous chapters in the beginning.
Can I include other characters/pairings in my work?
Yes, as long as Gallavich is still the focus.
What if I can’t finish on time?
The Gallavich fandom is ALWAYS happy to see new fan material, so just post it when you’re done and tag me, ok? The same goes for people who can’t finish a work on the assigned theme day; you can still post it on a different day during GW, just make it clear which day it was made for.
The cope I’m reading about Jensen being tired and on edge or upset, can fuck off right now. maybe Jensen is finally done being used by the extras and Misha and just wanted it to end. Did anyone consider that 3 days later? Really ? None of you?
It’s sad that for Misha to have any real purpose now he has to queerbait fans, fill their heads with lies and then watch all his lies fall apart thanks to Jensen telling the truth finally to these assholes.
I’m so glad Misha was there because he had to backtrack and cover his ass in front of Jensen because he didn’t have anywhere to run, contradicting everything him and the extra losers have been lying about for a career at this point.
If people really want to make this weekend matter in some way they should be sitting back and asking themselves why this happened and who’s fault it was because there was someone at fault.
The after show market has been hoodwinked by a group of people who has been using a one sided ship to retain the fandom for their ongoing works.
I have to admit I even suffered from this fiction. Thinking Jensen had to have had some sort of sign off on all of this but seems to have just found out how far down fans of the show have been taken.
All of this makes me angry for my hurting friends today because it didn’t have to happen. I’m angry the likelihood of anyone holding these people accountable for misleading messages they gave to fans, and how much hope these people gave other people for something that isn’t going to happen.
SPN and the powers that be were generous with the time and decision to allow Misha to have that moment for Castiel and Cas fans.
For him to lie, move the goalposts and then have to cover for his bullshit in front of Jensen makes all of his post show stuff seem so damn self serving and gross.
Like Misha should have stood on all the lies and half truths about what he tells his fans right there in front of Jensen, instead he had to go into damage control mode for something he and others are responsible for doing.
There has been a concerted effort to give fans of Destiel false hope when it comes to the past narrative and future narratives to come. Which is now obviously a lie!
Like 6 years of podcasters, Misha, production staff, writing staff feeding fans bullshit is pretty unforgivable.
