#finnweek2023

An instinct….a feeling if you will

(finnweek prompt: Jedi Finn)

[finn-week]

Here are the prompts for Finn Week 2023 (September 17-23)!

Reminder that you can pick and choose any prompts you like - for example it's fine to draw fanart of a "general" prompt, and if you really like one of the art prompts, it would be fine to write a fanfic for it (or make any other type of fanwork!).

Audience challenges are for the whole week and you're welcome to download the graphic provided, check off the challenges you've completed, and upload yourself to show your progress :).

If you have any questions, please feel free to send us an ask, or join the Finn Discord (ask for an invite).

Full list of rules, and prompts and challenges as plain text under the cut:

Rules

Any type of content focusing on appreciating Finn is encouraged, fics, fanart, gifs, videos, meta, etc.

Gen, any shipping, nsfw, etc are all allowed, but please tag appropriately on Tumblr (eg. nsfw, gore) and ensure any 18+ content or fics over 500 words are under a cut. If you’re linking to a fic on an external site like AO3 with its own tagging system, then a cut is not necessary.

There’s no minimum word count/level of polish, or minimum number of days. Post for one day, post for all seven days! It’s up to you. Sketches, drafts, or other pieces you might decide to work on more later are also fine.

Late posts (not during the week or on the associated theme day) are also very ok

Please tag with #finnweek2023 if you want to be reblogged here. NSFW posts sometimes get hidden in the tags, so you can also @ us if you notice we haven’t reblogged your post. There will also be an AO3 collection available closer to the event week. You are also welcome to tag your audience challenge posts and we'll reblog those too!

Finn Week 2023 Day 6: Chosen Family & Courage.

[nonbinaryezrabridger]

@finn-week for 2023 had the day four prompt, "flowers". My first and only multi chapter finnrey work, titled desert flowers, was published in 2020 and never finished. When I saw this prompt, I knew it was a sign to finish this story. So I wrote three new chapters, bringing the story to the end I originally planned for it. I don't know if any of my original readers will come back, but I hope someone will enjoy it.

Fic title: Desert Flowers

Ship: Finn/Rey

Summary:

Finn has escaped the first order on his own and survived by moving from place to place. He arrives on Jakku, where he meets the scrapper Rey, who offers to let him stay at her place (for a price of course). They quickly grow fond of each other as they struggle to survive on Jakku.

Rating: T and up for graphic descriptions of violence.

Prompt/Theme Submissions for Finn Week!

Open until June 30

There are 3 types of prompts. You’re only required to submit at least 1 general prompt, the rest are optional, but you can submit up to 3 of each type.

General prompts. Suitable for any type of work but can be more writing-oriented

Artist prompts. Targeted at more visual works, as alternatives to the regular prompts if they don’t work so well for artists.

Audience challenges. Things readers/viewers can do to engage with new and old Finn-centric content during the week. They can be week-long challenges that don’t have to be completed in a single day, such as “reblog/retweet at least 10 works” or “leave a comment including at least one quote from the fic” or “create a rec list”.
