Rules and FAQ
It has come to my attention that our Rules and FAQ page is not accessible on mobile tumblr, because why would the app be functional! So here it is in handy post format, for mobile users.
Who is this event for? / I am x/y/z identity/unsure of my identity can I participate?
This event is for anyone who considers themself to be trans, nonbinary or is currently questioning their gender. No matter what particular words you may use to identify, if you don’t consider yourself cis, you count, and we will not be doing any sort of identity policing, the specifics of your identity are your own business.
If you are still uncertain you are more than welcome to send us an ask or a DM. All mods of the event are trans and we know that gender can be a confusing beast.
If you are cis, we welcome you to support the work of trans fans, by reblogging their posts, commenting on their fics, and offering to be a support during the creation process.
What kind of fan works can I do? / Does my fan work have to deal with explicitly trans things?
Any and all fan works are welcome. This includes, fan art, fan fiction, gif sets, character/ship playlists, fan videos, multi media pieces, textiles/cosplay if you want to get funky, the sky’s the limit.
The prompts will have a gendery aspect to them, however, you don’t have to adhere to the prompts. The amount you want to play with gender in your pieces is entirely up to you and we won’t be placing any restrictions on what sort of trans content is and isn’t allowed. Again, we aren’t here to police your identity or your fan works.
I want to participate but I don’t want my name attached to my work because I’m not out. What can I do?
You can post your fic or art to the Anonymous Ao3 collection, you retain control of the fic/art but it is anonymous until you remove it from the Anon collection.
Here is a tutorial for posting images to Ao3 using third party hosting sites like Imgur. While this was created for The Terror Big Bang, it is a very helpful and thorough tutorial about adding images to fics, or just straight up posting art to Ao3.
Anonymous submission to the Trans Terror Week blog. We have opened submissions, which will allow for fan works to be submitted anonymously with a pseud and an email address if you are logged out of Tumblr. When these post it will attribute to the blog of whichever mod posted the submission and we will note it as an anonymous submission.
What is not allowed?
No cis content creators. As mentioned above, we love your support, but this is not the event for you to participate in. If, somehow, you’re a very new fan and this is the first fandom event you’ve encountered, we would be happy to point you in the direction of another event. I marvel at this fandom’s ability to have events going on nearly all the time.
No policing other participants’ fan works. Every trans person has different experiences and desires for what they want to see in their fiction. We will not be restricting what is and isn’t allowed. Do not ask us to.
Terfs, trans-medicalists, aphobes, biphobes etc. kindly take your bullshit elsewhere. Any baiting/trolling/hate will be deleted and you will be blocked.
