We’ve taken all the prompts for 2018′s Mc76 Week and compiled a list of ideas/suggestions to get the creative juices flowing!

Still having trouble? Don’t worry! You can always just fall back on doing whatever you want!
It’s mod Munchy’s philosophy that ship weeks are meant to celebrate a ship as much as possible. Which doesn’t just mean fanfics and fanart. Creating things like edits*, moodboards, fan mixes, amvs, essays, headcanons, animations, just talking about it, (heck, in this case) buddying up and playing with a friend as only those two characters for that entire week, is celebrating the ship!
That’s what ship weeks are meant to promote, it’s not just about prompts. If you feel that you can’t do a prompt, don’t worry about it! Do anything you want! As long as you’re celebrating the ship in your own way, you’re participating!
If you have any questions please direct them to the ask page. We’ll make sure to answer them ASAP!
