In celebration of Star Trek’s 60th anniversary this September, our summer event is all about Old Men Spirk!
❓ WHAT IS IT? 🤔
The people who brought you Live Long and Pinup, Spirk in a Cave, and Shipboard Weekends are back with a shiny new Summer Spirk Event!
This time around we want to see your vision of Spirk at Sixty! Are they happily married with 2 cats and tenure track positions at Starfleet Academy? Perhaps they’re out stealing ships for enrichment in their old age. Heck, maybe they’re both in jail for...well canon gives us plenty of reasons.
Writers, artists, poets, filkers, and all other creatives are welcome to join the event and show us your vision of Spirk at Sixty! You’re welcome to use any iteration of Spirk: TOS, TAS, TOS Movies, AOS Movies, or SNW. They all deserve some quality retirement time.
New to fandom? We're here to welcome you! All you need is a love of Spirk and a desire to create.

❓ WHAT IS IT? 🤔
This summer we're hosting a fan creation event to celebrate Star Trek's 60th Anniversary! Create fanfic, fan art, filk, pasta sculpture, or whatever creative endeavor you enjoy, as long as it involves Old Men Spirk.
📆 WHEN IS IT?
August 17 - September 7, 2026
🎭 HOW WILL IT WORK?
Pick a date from the list below. We’ll update this Tumblr post as the dates fill up. Right now we're booking THREE people per day. If every date gets taken we’ll potentially open up to a further round of signups. When a date is full we will strikethrough it.
Send an Ask to this very blog including your chosen date and whether you are an artist, a writer, or some other exciting sort of fan creator.
We will send you an invite to join the Spirk Events Server (a fantastic community of Spirk writers and artists)
When your chosen posting date rolls around, post your fic/art/creation on AO3 and Tumblr.
Add your work to the Spirk at Sixty AO3 collection
In addition to your own descriptions, also add these tags: #spirk at 60 #spirk at 60 #spirk events
Once your work is posted on AO3, feel free to share it far and wide!
Follow this blog for updates
We can’t wait to see the fics and works of art you’ll create around the theme “Spirk at Sixty!”
📑 Fine Print:
Fic minimum length is 2000 words. No max, but know yourself and be realistic about how much you can write within the timeframe.
All art should depict Old Men Spirk. Fic doesn't have to take place at the exact age of 60, but Jim and Spock should be qualified for Senior Citizen Discounts at fine Federation Merchants near you.
This is an 18+ event. Sorry, youths!
Since it’s an 18+ event your fanwork can be any rating you’d like! Have fun!
You need an AO3 account to participate. If you don’t have one yet, they’re free!
Admission to the server is provisional. If you post your fanwork then great! You’re in! If not, we’ll regretfully ask you to leave. However, that’s not a perma-ban. You’re welcome to join up again the next time we have an open event!
Please let us know in advance if you won’t be able to post your work. We won't be mad! Real life happens. The sooner we know the sooner we can open up that slot for other people.
🌶 IMPORTANT SERVER INFORMATION
The Spirk Events Server is a sex-positive, NSFW, 18+ Discord created by and for Spirk writers and artists. You will see frequent and enthusiastic discussions of Vulcan dicks.
If you’re not comfortable with adult content then you do not have to join. If you do join, be prepared for fra’als!
