~ What is the Shyan Week?
A fan event in which participants will create fan works of their own based on a prompt given to them daily for seventh days. They will be able to chose between three options a day, posting their stuff under the tag #shyanweek2k19 for other people to check out.
More details under the cut!
~ Event Rules
Everyone can participate in this event as long as their work is based in one of the three prompts given on the day they are posting.
The work’s main pairing should be shyan, otherwise it won’t be accepted as part of the event. Side pairings are allowed.
This event is for works written in English. Anyone from any part of the world can enter, but English is necessary. It needs to have the necessary beta work done before posting. Fanfictions must be reasonably edited and readable, we are NOT betaing works for authors.
Original works created for the event ONLY.
Works including rape/non-con/torture-porn/underage are not allowed as part of this event! This is not a ban on dark material. You may address related themes in your works, but graphic scenes should be avoided. But material of the kind between the couple will not be allowed.
~ Rules for posting
Fanfics must be posted on AO3 with the tag Shyan Week 2019. You can crosspost to Tumblr, Wattpad, etc but it must be on AO3 as well. That will be our archive. You can also post your art over there.
Add your work to the AO3 collection, HERE.
When posting your work on tumblr, you have to use the tag #shyanweek2k19 in the first five tags of your work. You can also tag the blog with #shyanwritingevents, if you want. But the week’s tag is necessary.
In your post, there must be something that indicates it is for the Shyan Week 2019, what day it is for and with what prompt.
~ Restrictions
No participants under the age of 18 are allowed to do explicit stuff.
No WIPs (works in progress) allowed, only finished stories and art.
No underage sex and/or noncon/rape allowed.
No racism and/or racist language. No hate speech of any kind.
No bashing different dynamics/preferences when it comes to the ship. (Meaning, no bashing/mocking Bottom!Ryan, Bottom!Shane, switching, and so on, dom/sub dynamics, none of that shade.)
No bashing of any kind to the family, friends and significant others of the boys. Be respectful. If you need a villain to your story, we suggest you to create an original character.
Works that are not tagged under Ry*n B*rgara/Shan* M*dej and Shya Week 2019 on AO3 will not be added to the collection nor allowed in the event. If you have doubts about AO3′s tagging system, please message us.
