An announcement
Hello!
Since it started, yakulev week has largely been run by one person. When I first started it, the yakulev and levyaku tags were updated rarely and usually only by the same few people. I wanted to bring attention to a ship that I loved and get more activity in the tags. Now, my otp is one of the larger ships in the fandom. It’s not kagehina levels of popular, but it’s definitely grown from what it used to be, and that makes me so happy.
Last year I found I wasn’t able to keep up with the demands of hosting a ship week on my own, and @cellophanenoise and @pearltoroses were kind enough to help me out. This year, I’m even busier than I was last, and so I will be retiring from running this blog and hosting yakulev week.
This blog will stay up as an archive of works from past years, but I won’t have time to host a new yakulev week this year. That means there will not be a yakulev week this year, unless there is someone (or some people) who would like to pick up where I’m leaving off.
You don’t have to have experience with hosting a ship/fanworks event before. yakulev week was my first real time moderating anything like this. You just need to have a love for the ship and time to dedicate to running the blog.
In general, duties include:
Choosing prompts for each day
Advertising the event prior to it starting
Reblogging fanworks during the week to the blog
If you are interested in taking over the blog, please message me on my personal blog @emsealimb.
I want to thank everyone who has participated in yakulev week in past years, as well as everyone who loves this ship. I’ve had a lot of fun running this blog and interacting with all of you through it. Every single one of you, regardless of whether you created fanworks or just liked/reblogged others’ work, has made this a great experience for me. All of you are the reason why I love being a part of fandom.
Happy shipping, Megan/emsealimb
