Wrapping Up

We hope that you’ve had as great of a time as we have - this event has been truly amazing!

To all returning creators, first-time participants, and everyone who cheered this event on or supported it by spreading the word and engaging with the works: thank you! This event has been so positive and wonderful because of you.

Want to browse works from this event or previous ones?

Check out our shiny new directory! You can browse by character, pairing, prompt, or day of the week.

Apologies to mobile users - some device types using the Tumblr App may glitch and fail to open the directory properly. You can go to tog-femslashfornight [dot] tumblr [dot] com/directory to view it in your mobile device browser!

In (some) Numbers:

In Fall 2020 we had ~47 entries, which was an incredible turnout! We featured gifsets, fanmixes, fanfiction, fanart, and more. This event, we had a whopping ~125 entries here on Tumblr! The AO3 collection increased in size from 18 works archived to 51, which means 33 works were submitted this round - some of them with multiple chapters to fill different prompts. 

These numbers are approximate based on a quick count, but should be pretty accurate. That means the event has grown - and this is only one event for the fandom! That’s to say nothing of the creators who keep creating outside the scope of this event, other events that may be run by other fans, or the amazing works that are still to be discovered.

Discovered some new creators?

Show them your love! We hope this event has also helped you strengthen existing friendships, make new ones, or find cool new people to follow here or on AO3. As before, there’s a chance that this event will run again.

A shout out goes to The Old Guard Femslash Discord which we’ve heard is a really cool and chill space to have conversations about your favourite pairings, get cheerleading for your works, and so on. If Discords are the thing for you, it might be worth checking out - click the link for more including the guidelines for the server! We saw a fair number of creations that were inspired by or dedicated to the server, so a shout-out seemed appropriate.

We hope to see you again, or at other events. Thank you for everything, and Happy Spring!

Series: Part 3 of TOG Femslash Fortnight 2021: Spring Solstice Edition Summary:

It’s sometimes accidental. Or… it starts that way, at least. But, more and more, excuses can be found. Passing a weapon. Seeking attention. More and more touch replaces speech, until neither needs the words anymore.

Now that I’ve done it I realize that “colours” probably was meant to be interpreted... another way but I saw it went RAINBOW and TRY TO INCLUDE ALL THE COLOURS and went for it!

Limited time, palette, only one brush, (still don’t know colour theory) and like. Only a pencil sketch and one layer with no fussing around of adding colour BUT I GOT IT DONE BEFORE THE END!!

For @tog-femslashfortnight : Saturday: free choice/Sunday: colour or aesthetics Featuring Andy x Nile x Quynh! 💖

The thought process: Nile deserves ALL THE LOVE 🥰 and what better way to show it than resting your chins on your girlfriend’s wonderful shoulders?! 😌💖

Nearly Done (but not quite!)

It’s hard to believe that we’re nearly at the end of The Old Guard Femslash Fortnight’s second round... but what an amazing event you’ve made this!

Thank you!

Whether this was your first Old Guard Femslash Fortnight, or you’ve been here since day one back in Fall 2020, you made this event wonderful!

Your creativity was truly amazing, and we mods can’t thank you enough - it’s been an incredible experience and we’re overjoyed at the amount of enthusiasm you’ve shown. You’ve contributed so much towards more works focused on the women of the Old Guard, and that’s incredible and worthy of celebrating! Thank you for creating, reblogging, interacting, and engaging.

Wrapping up

Technically, this event ends tomorrow (Sunday March 21st, 2021) - Happy Spring Solstice!

Got a late entry? Please don’t hesitate to reach out - we’ll keep our eye out for any final prompt fills here on Tumblr, and the AO3 collection will stay open for a little while so that creators can submit their works to it if desired. 

Want to browse works?

From this Fortnight or round one, works reblogged to this event can now be browsed at our shiny new Directory! You can browse by character, pairing, visual prompt, writing prompt, or day of the week.

From us to you: thank you again so much for everything. The last two weeks have been a blast, and you made them possible.

Still technically @tog-femslashfortnight right now and I just randomly fixed up this old Andy edit a bit that I had already used in a photostory ages ago, so I thought I'd submit it as my last entry for Free Choice :D

*drumroll* here is the final day of @tog-femslashfortnight! i’m combining it with yesterday’s prompt (fave trope) to bring you part 3 (probably the final part, but who knows?) of my andromaquynh rival assassin au!! enjoy!!

[prompt - fave trope (rivals to reluctant allies to lovers) + free choice]

Maybe Quýnh should have seen this coming.

Or maybe she should’ve been more careful. Either way, what they’d done to Stevenson had gotten them a worrying amount of attention, so they’d split up for a while so they could wait for the worst of it to pass. She hadn’t been happy with the idea, but she’d understood why it was necessary. 

Then they’d found her. Three of them, waiting for her in the safehouse when she arrived. In any other circumstance, she would have been able to take them, but they had the element of surprise, and she was tired anyway. 

She woke up in a dark room, ziptied to a chair, and now she waits for her captors to tell her what they want from her. Or something. Honestly it’s really just rude to kidnap someone and then wait hours to tell them what you want from them.

She’s been in a similar situation before. Call it an occupational hazard. But those people had been amateurs, and these people seem to know what they’re doing. And she’s not supposed to contact Booker or Joe for a little while - they won’t know she’s gone.

Which is a little worrying.

There has been a framed portrait of Michelle Obama hanging on a wall in the Freeman household since she became First Lady of Illinois in 2004

Imagine the scenes when a South Side Chicagoan became FLOTUS in 2008

How many times do you think Nile and her brother heard That's not how Michelle got into Princeton is it? and What would Michelle say if she could see you now?

This is the last meme her brother sent her, after she told him that she wasn't going to do another tour

Friday: Meme, @tog-femslashfortnight
