It’s almost that time of year again! Asexual Awareness Week is October 20th - 26th 2019!
I’ve been posting the Asexual Awareness Week Fandom Challenge the past couple of years because it is a tradition that I don’t want to see die out. I had an idea to do something a bit differently this year though! Rather than daily prompts, the challenge is to get a “bingo” of five prompts that you respond to in any part of the week. You can respond to more than five of them too if you’d like!
You can respond with any type of fanworks; fanfic, fanart, meta, edits, playlists, etc. You can make content for any characters who are canonically, or you headcanon as anywhere on the asexual spectrum. Use the tag #AAWFC or #AAWFC 2019.
If you do a total blackout (post something for each of these prompts) I’ll make you an icon/lockscreen/banner/etc. with your choice of character and asexual spectrum flag! Just use a specific tag so I can easily verify them on your blog, and send me a message when you’re done!
Prompts:
B1: What is ace culture like for the time/place this character lives? How do they interact with it?
B2: Post about a grey asexual headcanon.
B3: How does the character respond to allonormativity? What kind of allonormativity have they faced?
