As stated, this idea came from the Year of the OTP event (which is super awesome). The only specific detail is that this one event is dedicated to the pairing of Gratsu (Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster). This event is to happen during 2024.
The goal is to write fic or art inspired by the prompt(s) for each month. There is no limit to posting though it would probably be better to post in the according month.
So after a while here it comes again . Gratsu week is back yet again and yet again this time it will start on the 16th of july
This year though we decided to do something different for the prompts. So instead of just words this time we opted for a “Things they said” kind of event. Without further ado I will let you uncover , and maybe try to associate them with their original moment, our list of prompts
“Don’t complain, if you get hurt doing this I’ve got no right to say a word”
"I’m ready to die if necessary”
“What’s with all the noise ? I’m sleepy”
“That idiot! Running off on his own again”
“Does this fire you up , Natsu ?”
“If it’s important don’t let it get away from you”
“Natsu … is Natsu”
as always each contribution is due on its date and late participations are always welcome aaaand you can ,of course , contriute with anything : fanart , fanfictions , edits , headcanons …..
BUT
tracing is not accepted and any use of content without credit or permission is forbidden
As for the submission you can either post it with #gratsuweek2k20 in the first 5 tags or directly submit to our submit box that is always open
An of course in case you have any question there is our ask box also if your piece wasn’t shared it’s more than likely that it didn’t appear on the tag so don’t hesitate to tell us
