WE'RE BACK! Hot Bucky Summer returns for its second year in a row with new prompts to get those spicy ideas going!
This event runs from June 1st, 2024 to August, 31, 2024. Each week starting June 1st, we’ve given you a theme (phrase) and some further prompts to spark your imagination. You do not have to strictly include the exact phrase or prompt words in your works - they are meant to encourage you and inspire your overall idea!
📢 RULES
Tag accordingly, please! General blog rules apply to this, please read before participating.
There is no minimum or maximum limit.
We will not be reblogging works outside of the assigned week (ex: if you fill a week 1 prompt but we are already in July, we will not be reglogging), however, these prompts are meant to inspire your muses and you can use them as you desire.
Your works do not have to be inherently M or E rated to participate, they are up to your interpretation.
There is no limit on how many works you create. Even if you only participate in one week, we encourage and welcome all participants!
📢 HOW TO SHARE YOUR WORKS:
Please mention us (@buckybarnesevents) and use the tag #hotbuckysummer2024 in your post for us to reblog your works!
We MUST be able to clearly identify what week/prompt you are using. Again, we will not be reblogging works outside of the assigned week. If we cannot easily tell what prompt you are using when tagged, we will not be reblogging.
You can also tag us again in your masterpost for us to reblog a summary of your works for this event.
The first page belongs to Aggressively Arospec Week, our week-long event dedicated to arospec content in fanworks.
Started in 2016, this year we'll celebrate its fifth edition! In this page you'll have access to each one of them, identified by their distinct flyers.

RULES
Be sure to check out the blanket event rules found HERE.
Due to the nature of all media and works within this event, it is only for those that are 18 and older – upon signing up you acknowledge that you are not a minor.
Any kind of hate (kink bashing/shaming, harassment, toxic behaviour, etc.) will not be tolerated at any point. There will be no warnings given and if proven to have exhibited any disagreeable behaviours, you will be removed from the event.
Tag your works accordingly. We expect explicit works, and that will contain squicks, triggers, etc. We believe in Kinktomato here. YKINMKATOK (Your Kink Is Not My Kink (And That’s OK) but you are responsible for advising our readers what to expect.
This event, as always, is open to any and all pairings that involve our favourite murder muffin!
If you’re finding that inspiration isn’t coming to you with just Bucky, we will also allow up to two squares per card to feature a different Sebastian Stan persona (Sebastian himself, Steve Kemp, Max Burnett, etc.)
The AU’s are entirely up to your interpretation, so long as they are featured prominently in your creation.
Read our FAQs thoroughly for event conduct, swapping prompts, schedule and more!
FAQs
What is a Connect Four event?
Simple! It’s very similar to a Bingo Event, where you will receive a card with four categories.
What happens if we finish our card?
You can request additional cards! Please only request a new card once you have finished your current card. If you are not happy with the prompts on your card, please request a swap for that square/those squares. You can request one swap per card, up to four squares (yes, you can ask for a whole new card).
If there's a square you don't vibe with, please use our Square Swap Form to begin the process of either requesting up to 2 new squares, or an entirely new card. The email must include your username, card number and the square + prompt you are purging from your card.
Can we use a fill for another event as well (ie. another bingo, etc)?
Absolutely! So long as the other event allows it, we have no rules against cross-posting.
How do I post to the AO3 collection?
Under collections (when posting), type in Connect 4: Into an Alternate June-iverse or Connect4AU
You can also add your work directly from the collection by going to https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Connect4AURound2 and selecting “post to collection” on the top right.
What fills are accepted?
Any creative media is accepted:
Fics
Moodboards
Digital / traditional art (sketches, too)!
Playlists
Etc.
If there is a medium not listed that you want to create and you’re not sure about, shoot us an ask and we will add it to the list!
All work must be newly uploaded to count towards the fill (no entering a fic you published a few months ago, for example). They may count towards already existing AU’s that you write for (a new chapter for an ongoing fic), or they can be something brand new – it is entirely up to you.
ALL ENTRIES MUST BE YOUR OWN WORK.
What pairings are allowed?
Any. Whether that be /Reader, /Steve, /Reader/Steve, /Natasha, /Clint – so long as Bucky is still the main character.
Is there a limit to submissions?
Absolutely not. You are free to create as many works / pieces of media that you feel inspired for – whether that be 5 fics for a Mafia AU square, or 10. It does not matter.
Schedule:
19th of January – Signups open
WHENEVER you receive your card, you can begin posting
1st of June – Submissions close
You can sign up to this event from the 19th of January right through until the end – keep in mind that we are aiming for cards to be in your inbox within 3 days of you signing the form – though we are only human, there may be delays.
If you have concerns or if it takes longer than 5 days, please email us or tag rookthorne / buckyismybicycle on the discord server, and we will check the progress.
