So, this came out of a joint conversation with @hazel-athena, @katsuko1978, myself, and a few others. So if this happens, it will be thanks to us... or we are all to blame, however you want to look at it.
There is a distinct lack of asexual representation in The Magnificent Seven fanfiction right now. We would like to see that changed.
Now it’s been a very, very long time since I’ve issued a writing challenge (jesus fuck, apparently the last one was 2006, wtf), but here on Tumblr seemed the best place to get it started.
And I guess that starts with a question: Is this something that the fandom is interested in? Either as writers or as readers?
Right now, the terms are very limited (because I’m still building the challenge in my head): The Magnificent Seven (2016) fandom and at least one ace character. Things I would like to see, but haven’t decided on yet: a decent story length (maybe 5000 words?), beta read stories, and a few other things. (Ace doesn’t mean that you can’t have relationships involving said character, after all!)
So, Mag7 fandom, what do you think? Yes or no?
