Running from 9th - 15th June, McKirk Week is a creation event focused on the Kirk/McCoy pairing, across all universes.
HOW IT WORKS:
There are three prompt lists – Trek, Gen, and NSFW. Trek are prompts based on the Star Trek universe, Gen are general prompts and tropes, and NSFW are of course the NSFW prompts. You’re welcome to pick from any prompt list (or even combine a few), and you can fill as many or as few prompts as you fancy.
Your creations can be any form of media: art, fic, edits, videos, web weaves, memes, playlists, fic rec lists, cosplay… the list goes on! As long as you can make it McKirk, it counts.
On that note: this is a McKirk event so McKirk should be the main pairing in your works. Background ships, side pairings, and poly ships are okay as long as Kirk and McCoy are the focus.

Hey McKirk fans! Two months may seem like a long time (okay, it is) but the winter holidays are almost upon us, so we figured we check that McKirk Day is still on everybody's radar!
When?
February 20th
What?
McKirk in any way, shape, or form! Art, fic, remixes, meta, whatever, just as long as it is celebrating McKirk, we'd love to see it on the day! We are open to all types of content of all ratings as long as it is tagged and warned for responsibly. Have fun with it!
How?
Post, share, draw, write and tag #mckirkday2025 on 20th February or @ us at @mckirkevents
Hey all! McKirk Week will shortly be returning for its second year!
To avoid clashing with a couple of other events, we are moving McKirk Week 2025 to June instead of May.
It will now be running from 9th - 15th June. We hope many of you will join us again - or for the first time! Stay tuned for the prompts and event information soon.
Hey McKirk fans! To round off the holy trinity of triumvirate pairings, we figured there should be an annual McKirk Day to give this pairing some love too!
Chosen somewhat arbitrarily by your mods - and not to step on the toes of anyone else hosting events across the fandom! - we have picked February 20th 2025 as the first annual McKirk Day.
(Have a better suggestion? Let us know!)
If that sounds like something you'll be interested in, put an entry in your logs and remember to tag or @mckirkevents on the day with any mckirk fic, art, remixes, playlists, gifsets or more for TOS, AOS, or even the ever fabled SNW (Bones we miss you) - whatever it is, we'll reblog it!
Reminders and information will follow over the coming months.
Hey McKirk fans! The first ever (as far as we can tell?) McKirk Day is fast approaching!
When?
February 20th
What?
McKirk in any way, shape, or form! Art, fic, remixes, meta, whatever, just as long as it is celebrating McKirk, we'd love to see it tomorrow! We are open to all types of content of all ratings as long as it is tagged and warned for responsibly.
How?
Post, share, draw, write and tag #mckirkday2025 on 20th February (that's tomorrow!) or @ us at @mckirkevents
Reminder that McKirk Week will be held from 20th - 26th May! This is an event focused on the Kirk/McCoy pairing, across all Star Trek universes. We hope you'll join us soon!

FAQ:
Q: Do I have to make something for all days?
A: Absolutely not, you’re welcome to dip in or out as much as you like.
Q: Can I still submit to the AO3 collection/be reblogged/tag the event if I’m late?
A: Of course! The AO3 collection will be open indefinitely and we will continue monitoring the #mckirkweek2024 tag.
Q: Does my work have to be fully fleshed out/long/finished/'good'?
A: Not at all! Drabbles, quick sketches, or any other form of quicker/rough work is equally welcomed. Especially if you're planning to create something every day, you're not expected to create 20k fics or oil paintings. As long as it's McKirk it's valid, go wild and have fun.
Q: Can I make something NSFW for a Trek or Gen prompt? Do the NSFW prompt fills have to be E rated?
A: The prompts are there to inspire you, you don't have to stick to them! Turn a sfw prompt into a nsfw one, or a nsfw into a sfw. Up to you! Please just tag any nsfw pieces and use content warnings.
Q: Do you accept TOS and AOS McKirk?
A: Yep! Any Trek universe is totally valid. (And the non-Trek AUs too!)
Q: What if I have another question?
A: Drop us an ASK!
