Can we also write for a non-shippy pairing? Like Yurio & Nishigori triplets or Yakov & Georgi?

Definitely! If you just want to write platonic ships, ie: friends and families/friend of families; Go for it! Please create what you want.

We love seeing platonic ships as well as romantic. ~ Robin

[yoirarepairweek]

Could you define what you mean by rarepair?

Because there are a few canon pairs (Takeshi/Yuuko and Yakov/Lilia) that don't have many fics written where they're the main ship even though they're pretty common. Would these be considered rarepairs?

Thank you for this event!

Of course! I will be updating the FAQ, but for our purposes, we are trying to be as absolutely inclusive as possible. With the status of Nikiforov/Katsuki as being THE ship of the fandom, even the second most popular ship (Altin/Plisetsky) is lacking in content that isn't 'oh they're in the background' - so for our event this year, we are going to do what we did last year and Include OtaYuri, which means EVERY ship aside from Victuuri is included in our event. We re-evaluate this every year, but feel this year being as inclusive as possible will be best :) Of course, every year, I personally hope we end up having at least one piece that is a brand new ship tag. I believe we have a 3-year streak of managing that :) ~Alex
