How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?

since 2021

When did you start shipping Captain Swan?

literally the second killian jones started getting it baaad for emma swan in season two. by neverland i was totally hooked

What drew you to this event?

this is my second year doing this event and it's definitely my favourite! i just love seeing emma and hook in fantasy settings, it suits them so well

What inspired your topic?

unfortunately i'm probably not doing personal art this year, unless something magical happens you never know!

For our artists: What kind of art do you like to do? Picsets, painting, digital, etc? Feel free to give as much info as you like.

i'm a digital artist and work mostly with an illustrative/cartoony style thanks to my background in animation. i love trying to capture emma and killian with a sort of fun and soft energy that feels like they're in their own animated movie

What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?

i just love seeing everyone's work! having a new short snippet of captain swan as werewolves or faeries to look forward to every day is a highlight of my summer <3

I absolutely adore Steph's artwork and I know she's going to do amazing work for @goforlaunchcee's story, dropping on July 7th. Please drop by her page to say hi and welcome her to the event!

How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom?

I binged the show last summer and was immediately obsessed, this show has taken over my life.

When did you start shipping Captain Swan?

The second I saw Killian Jones, beaten and bloody on the side of the road literally 5 minutes after getting hit by a car, still taking the time to hit on a clearly annoyed Emma Swan I knew I was a goner. The finale of season 3 basically cemented them as my all timer ship.

What drew you to this event?

I’ve really been interested in collabing with another artist or writer for a while now. I think this show and this fandom in particular inspires some of the most unique and beautiful art and I really loved the idea of bouncing ideas off of other creators.

What inspired your topic?

Honestly? Colin’s pointy lil ears always make me think of elves and fae, and the fact that Emma is canonically a lost fairy tale princess, it just goes together so well.

If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.

I’m really interested in exploring a more traditional fairy tale illustration style for this. I studied a lot of fairy tale art and folk art in college, and lately I’ve been super inspired by Scandinavian artists like Kay Nielsen and John Bauer.

For our artists: What kind of art do you like to do? Picsets, painting, digital, etc? Feel free to give as much info as you like.

I do digital illustrations! I work in animation as a character designer so my style does tend to skew a little cartoony. I think it suits the show a little bit, what with it being a Disney drama.

What are you looking forward to most about participating in this event?

I love the sense of community this fandom has, even this long after the show ended. I’m just excited to be part of it this year.

Steph will be dropping her original artwork on August 18th, and doing artwork for @mie779​. Make sure to say hi on Tumblr and Discord.
