From "you're Henry's birth mother?" to "she'll always be Madam Mayor to me." they found each other over and over again, in every realm, in every situation.

they are the embodiment of true love and I don't care about what anyone else says

Hi guys. I'm applying this survey as an academic research for my undergraduate thesis in the brazilian Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).

I intent to comprehend Swan Queen's fandom profile; the use of fanfics and other fanworks as virtual resistance by sapphic and/or PoC fans and how that construct yours/theirs/ours social and political identity.

The target audiences for the resolution of this activity are:

- SQ writers/content creators and/or;

- Fans who like to dissect, both the series and the fandom's creations, building new ideas and arts based on that.

The survey consists of 25 questions, some of which will be open and allow you to justify the answer. I'll link both english and portuguese (BR) version of it, so feel free to answer the one where you are more comfortable with.

english: https://forms.gle/1pNLdaPoBAR1Sp8x7

portuguese: https://forms.gle/PovMmVknzRgG6Pnu7

Your participation is absolutely valid and important to me.

Fell free to share this post and/or link with friends.

SwanQueen Endgame Forever

I am forever grateful to the people who still write fanfics, draw fanarts, and create fanvids about swanqueen, who still ships swanqueen even after the show is over. Swens, I am forever grateful to all of you who keep making this beautiful ship alive. To the beautiful blog @sqsupernova I really appreciate all your hardwork and effort. Because of you I keep finding beautiful works for swanqueen. To all the authors and artists, y'all deserve a thousand or even million kudos. Keep up the good work. 💪😭😍

P.S. I got really this emotional because of a sq fic I just read.

I just finished all seven seasons of once upon a time and I don’t know what to do now.. my heart..

[swanqueenweek]

Day 4, February 7th is Minimum Wage meets Hollywood; where one of them works as a waitress or something along those lines and meets/sees the other, an actress, who they either do or don’t recognize.

Day 7, February 10th is Superhero; Swan Queen + DC/Marvel, what’s not to like? (i.e: Superman, Wonder Woman, Suicide Squad, etc). Suggested by sultrysweet daisyridleysbelieveitornot italymystery-swanqueen

Please remember that while you are welcome to work on/finish them early, you may not post until the appropriate day.

A big thanks to coalitiongirl who made time to be our gifmaker for the second time in a row even though she has a super busy live - thank you so much! It really is a pleasure to work with you. 

If you are interested in participating in the event at all, please read the text below the cut, which contains more information.

Like previous SQWs, we will be making a masterlist of entries at the beginning of the week and updating it as the week progresses (generally at the end of the night). The official tag to track is #swanqueenweek, so if you would like to see things as they are posted (as we queue the entries to be reblogged), please track that tag.

Participation will also run similarly to past events, and you can read the FAQ for some of the general questions (or send us an ask/IM). Now that the prompts have been posted, you may begin working on your fanworks as soon as you’d like. While you can make them as early as today, please do not post until the appropriate day in your timezone (i.e., don’t post for day 1 until February 4th in your timezone). If you want/need to work on your creations early because you won’t be able to post them yourself, or you want them housed on the SQW blog, feel free to submit them. You can do this at any time, and we will hold on to your creation until it is time to post.

If you are interested in or planning to create some form of fanwork for the 10th SQW, please note the following guidelines on how to participate.

Anyone is eligible to participate in SQW. You don’t need to have declared participation or registered in any way. You do not need to be on tumblr, and if you post off-site, please just drop a link in the submission box (or send a fanmail message).

This blog goes by EST, so no posts will be reblogged until midnight EST of each day.

If you post your creation to your blog to be reblogged here, please tag it with “swanqueenweek” in the first five tags. (We’ve seen posts that say the first five tag rule is no longer applicable, however we haven’t verified this, so to be safe please still use the main #swanqueenweek tag in the first five.)

We will make periodic announcements when the queue is full/empty so that you have an idea of if your post was seen, but you can always submit a link to the submission box to make sure we see it (if we’ve already queued your post I’ll just ignore the submission), or send us an ask/IM checking on if yours is queued. We will respond as soon as possible to let you know.

You do not have to participate in all seven days, you can pick and choose the prompts you like/are inspired by, one for each of the eight, or multiple creations for each day. Go crazy!

There are no minimums/maximums for participation.

You may make late creations and post them any time after the day of the prompt has passed (e.g., post a Day 1 creation on day 3, or a day 4 creation three days after the event has ended, etc.). We will be reblogging late submissions as late as one week after the event is done.

Creations can be stand-alone, or they can be connected, either by content or by post (e.g., you can make it a multi-chapter fic with each chapter being a prompt, or you can make a post that just collates all content).

There is no content restriction, but please tag your submissions with any necessary warnings/ratings/etc. to keep this a healthy environment for all!

This time, our prompts are pretty general, but as always feel free to interpret the prompt however you see fit.

You are welcome to collaborate with others. This event isn’t strictly for collaboration the way the Swan Queen Big Bang was/Supernova will be, but you are more than welcome to buddy up with someone else if you’d like.

Creations must be made specifically for this event. You may not add on to a pre-posted fic/art/etc. to fit it to the prompt. However, if there is a project you’ve been working on and it has not been posted prior to February 4th, you may use that work.

There is an AO3 collection for all Swan Queen Week creations and one specifically for the 10th SQW is being made. When you post, please feel free to add yours to this collection, which is linked in the sidebar of the main blog.

If you would like to participate, but don’t want to make a fanwork or don’t know how, there are plenty of other things you can do to be a part of the 10th bi-annual SQW. Below are a few suggestions:

Betaing: If you are interested in volunteering to be a beta between now and the end of the event, please let me know and I will add you to this resource list. When you send me a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what you will/won’t beta, and an estimated turn-around time.

Consultants: If you are interested in helping others either learn a new skill, or possibly serve as a sounding board for ideas, let me know and I will add you to this resource list. When you send me a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what kinds of stuff you can help with (e.g., photoshop, music suggestions, video editing, etc.).

Creating Tutorials: SQW is obviously for celebrating our favorite ladies, but it can also be an awesome catalyst to learn a new skill or pick up some new tips. If you’re feeling uninspired by the prompts but still want to participate, tutorials can be a really helpful thing for those wanting to get their toes wet.

Pimping: It seems a bit obvious, but people need to know the event is happening to be able to participate! SWEN is an ever-growing family, and our newbies need to know this is going on. Pimping out the event to other sites or on your own blog will help spread the word and let all those new to SWEN about SQW.

Excitement Posts: Are you just so excited for SQW you can’t stand it?! I don’t blame you, because our shippers definitely know how to celebrate. So, fanperson it out in a post!

Further Prompting: Maybe you have a plot bunny but no time to write it. Or you see a screencap that is just perfect, but don’t like making graphics. Send them in, and for those creators that are just a bit stuck, maybe your specific prompt will get their juices flowing. Please also feel free to send in suggestions for types of creations people could make that maybe are less obvious (e.g., fake facebook threads, fake trailers, poetry, etc.).

Just as a reminder, SQW is meant to be a fun event to flood our dashboards with Swan Queen, but it can also be a great opportunity to put yourself out there and try something new. If you don’t know how to make something, or are nervous to post, I hope you feel comfortable enough to give it a shot. (Participating in SQW is a great way to pick up some lovely SWEN followers, hint hint!)

As always, if you have any questions or comments, you can always contact us. Have fun planning your creations, and we can’t wait to see them!

Picture this.

Emma rushes to the coronation as she did and after "sorry I'm late" she smiles at Regina and she smiles back.

"I love you" Emma says and Regina runs to her arms, sharing a big long kiss. Then they look at Henry and they magically go back in Storybrooke, Regina being again the Mayor and Emma she sheriff.

Okay I'M IN PAIN.
