Hi! I was just wondering if there will be Kenfetti week this year?

Also just want to say thanks for all your work on this event!

- Mod A -

Hey there, thanks for asking, and we're glad so many people have enjoyed the event!

Kenfetti Week is returning for 2023, but due to various mods' schedules, it will be pushed to July this year. Our tentative dates are July 9th-15th for Kenfetti Week proper, with works due on July 1st. Prompts suggestions will likely not be opened up until April.

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to send in an ask or DM this account directly and we will be happy to answer!

...just thought I'd send in a quick sneak peek of something I'm working on for Pride and Pretentions! (With a small side of Alpha-17/Obi-Wan, because it's fun)

Obi-Wan held back a scoff. “Can’t have your second in command marrying a Jedi, I suppose.”

A smile played around Fett’s lips. “I can’t have my second in command marrying you.” Fett leaned forward. “You’ve already been claimed, and he’s well aware of the fact.”

A flash of cold ran down his back. “Claimed,” he repeated. He had the vague memory, once, of Alpha having once said something similar during a bout of sex. I know you’re claimed, but right now you’re mine. Obi-Wan had dismissed it, had assumed that Alpha had meant claimed by duty or by the Jedi.

He was claimed by neither, now. The Jedi disbanded and his duty non-existent. 

“Oh yes.” Fett’s smile had grown dangerous. It was the smile Obi-Wan had seen during campaign strategy sessions, back when he’d been grateful that Fett had condescended to help the Republic win their war. Back when he’d been almost fond of the man. “You see, you’ll be marrying me.”

oOoOO entice away, Anon!

Is the discord only for kenfetti week or is it open and usef year-round? If that makes sense...

- Mod A -

Not to worry, that question makes complete sense! As this is only our second Kenfetti Week ever, and our first with a Discord server, the community of Kenfetti enthusiasts we've built thus far is small enough that we see no reason to restrict the server use to only around the time of Kenfetti Week itself. We may be small in number, but our love for these two absolute disaster men is strong and never-ending, and we hope that members feel comfortable discussing all things Kenfetti whenever the mood strikes, even when Kenfetti Week is over!

For those who haven't yet seen but have gleaned from this post, Kenfetti Week 2022 now has a Discord server! If you're interested in joining—either because you're participating in the week or because you're just a Kenfetti enthusiast who's happy to find a Discord dedicated to them—there's a permanent invitation link at the bottom of our Kenfetti Week 2022 Masterpost.

Is there a Discord for the event/do the mods know of any other servers focused on the ship?

- Mod A -

As last year was our first year doing Kenfetti Week, we weren't sure how much interest there would be, so we didn't want to commit to making an entire server that wouldn't get much use. Since you asked, though!

Join the Kenfetti Week 2022 Discord Server!

Do written works have to be a certain length? Like, is there a minimum requirement, or are drabbles & oneshots okay

- Mod A -

No minimum! Whether you write a single old-school drabble for a single prompt or a 20-chapter epic for every day of the week, we just want to have a good time and put more Kenfetti out into the world. If all you feel like contributing is a 100 words, that's still 100 words that didn't exist beforehand! One raindrop raises the sea and all that—we want Kenfetti Week to be fun, not feel like homework.

Hey guys! We’ve gotten some anons wondering where this event came from following on the heels of the lovely and delightful JangObi Week. They did such a great job and we were all really excited to see the fics and art coming out from it, but we also didn’t really know it was happening until it was too late for our own schedules to allow us to participate! So we were spitballing ideas and, as a group of writers and artists who very much enjoy the pairing, we decided to create Kenfetti Week as well! Two weeks of Jango Fett and Obi-Wan content! We chose a point several months away for the actual event to give ourselves and all of you lots of time to prep. 

Plus, who doesn’t like more Jango/Obi-Wan content? On the subject of Kenfetti vs. JangObi, there’s really not a difference. One of our mods joked about disliking the name jangobi, but it was really more just a way to keep our event distinct, and not infringing on the awesome work the JangObi Week people have done! Plus, I did get a bit excited about the art I could make off the play of Kenfetti/Confetti  ^.^ Our event is set up a little differently, mostly because we decided this was an easier way for us personally to run it. If anyone ever has questions or comments, you’re always welcome to send us a message here!

I'm planning on writing for kenfetti week, but I was wondering if we had to do all the days?? there's some that I'm pretty stuck on, so I just wanted to check :0

- Mod A -

Oh, not at all! You can do as many or as few fills as you like, all we want is to make content for Kenfetti and have fun doing it. If you write 20k for each prompt or just a single ficlet for one, we’ll be delighted by your participation!

[kenfetti-week]

Hi! Popping by to say that I'm really happy you elaborated on this event. The previous posts really did make it seem like this week was created simply because you thought that "jangobi was an ugly ship name" and that by creating this event would draw more attention to the kenfetti ship name and boot jangobi out.

Sorry it just seemed odd because it also felt like you were discrediting the jangobi week mods and when you used the jangobi tag I was even more confused because you claimed it was an ugly ship name

But I'm glad you elaborated because I was a little sad about it seeming the way I thought it was.

- Mod A -

Lol, that’s fair! I’m the only one who gets particular about my use of portmanteaus, so the mod who wrote the first few posts added that in as a joke to poke at me. It was just a joke, though. It’s not like the ship name is important to us or anything, it was just a delineation that we already had off of Tumblr, so we leaned into it for the event. (It’s all about the pun-potential, man!)

Most of us just didn’t really know that JangObi Week was happening until it was right on our doorsteps, and the lot of us are in a few different Discord servers with a bunch of shippers who weren’t really aware of it either, so we figured we could put together a second one for later in the year to fit our schedules better and boost the amount of Jango/Obi-Wan content even more along the way. And since it’s the same ship and Kenfetti is, for the most part, a ship name we use on Discord, we cross-posted in the “jangobi” tag so that people who’d also missed the window for JangObi Week would see that there’ll be a second event later on that they can plan for and participate in without having to wait a whole year.
