Info & Guidelines

Welcome to

100ships, a multifandom challenge comm where the aim is to create 100 different fanworks featuring 100 different relationships.

All types & categories of ships are welcome. There are no claims and no time limit on the challenge. Just copy the table to somewhere convenient and get started.

This is shamelessly based on

100fandoms and

51pluscrossoverfandoms (writing challenges), but all fanworks are welcome.

You don't need a Dreamwidth account. There is an AO3 collection for posting, and anon commenting is on here for any questions & announcing completion. If you want an account in order to post, it's free to sign-up.

Anyone who completes the challenge will receive a banner.

Rules
1. Copy/post the table to somewhere convenient to you, create fanworks for each prompt and have fun multi-shipping. There are no minimums and maximums. As long as your work is complete and comprehensible and visible/audible, it counts. You can write in any language (although the info in the linking post here should be in English).

2. Be kind. No hatespeech, harassment, trolling or ship/character bashing. (If writing RPF, please be sensitive - i.e. avoid non-famous/underage living people or serial killers/war criminals etc. current/within living memory etc.)

3. Post your work wherever you usually do and link back here to the work. Please use header info (e.g. Creator, Pairing, Fandom, Title, ratings, Summary, Notes/Warnings & prompt used). There's a template below, but you can use the AO3 share feature instead or any similar formatting that you prefer.

You can add existing fandom and prompt tags to your entry when posting. Mods will create new tags for you as needed.

Guidelines

♥ All types, ratings, categories of ships are welcome, romantic, platonic, queerplatonic, slash, femslash, het, poly, gen, familial, friendship, canonical, non-canonical, crossover, crack, rare pairs, randomised pairings, juggernauts, RPF, etc. etc.. It's up to you!

♥ Each fill must be created for the challenge and focus on a different ship using a different combination of canon characters each time. You can't create for the same character combination twice, even if one is platonic and the other romantic, or the second is an AU.

♥ You can ship canon characters with OCs if you choose, although only once per character (i.e. you can write A/OC, but not also A/Another OC or A/OC/OC, but you can use B/OC, C/OC.) Minor characters, mentioned/implied characters or widely accepted in the fandom fanon/canon OCs count as regular canonical characters.

♥ Same-actor character combinations are fine and count as different pairings, as do canonical alternate versions of characters. (A/B and A/B's Evil Clone count as separate ships, as does A/B, A/B's Evil Clone/B.) Versions of characters across adaptations would count as separate.

♥ Approach the table however you want - write any mix of pairings you like! You could combine it with

100fandoms and write your 100 OTPs from 100 different fandoms, or 100 pairings from one fandom, 100 crossover pairings, 100 randomly generated pairings or requests, 100 different pairings involving your favourite character, or your OTP + 99 different additional poly options, or any sort of variation you please. It's up to you.

♥ Prompts can be interpreted as widely as you choose, and you can combine them with any other prompts, challenges, fests, bingos you like (as long as the other fest also allows it).

♥ Part of the fun of challenges like these is working through the same prompts together, but if a prompt or prompts is distressing to you or you would prefer some creator's choice options, you can just replace it/them. (Up to 10 max.)

The prompts are taken from colour names, so select a new one from a colour list like this. Swap the prompt(s) out on your table before you start writing, and stick to the swapped version you've chosen. (Don't forget to check you haven't picked a duplicate prompt!)

When posting fills written for swapped prompts use the tag: "prompt: creator's choice".

If you have any other queries, please ask here or contact the mod via PM. Anon commenting is on.

Awesome :D

Gah!

I'd just seen a recent post to this com and thought it was probably time to post some of mine here under a cut of course.

But, reading back over the instructions, I see they have to be stories created for this challenge. I don't know how my mind skipped over that previously so most of mine don't count as they were also created in answer to other challenges.

Erm... I don't expect any action on your part, I just felt a deep seated need to to poke myself for my own stupidity.

Aww. *hugs*

But also - it's absolutely okay to post things created for other challenges as well as this one! If you were (as it sounds) writing fic that you also intended to be for

100ships even if you've posted them elsewhere first, that is fine, and you should still include them. And obviously, I can't - and wouldn't want! - to measure intent, so exactly what 'counts' in that regard only you can decide.

It's not like

100fandoms in the way that that allows for posting back catalogue fic written prior to deciding to take part, though, that's true. <3 (I am a mean mod, heh, and I insist on relatively freshly baked produce. XD)

I did!

I haven't been counting anything I wrote prior to this challenge starting. I'm usually very good about following the rules (of something like this *g*).

So, anyway, that's great, the ones I've been country, well, count!

Yay! It'll be great to have you on board! <3

*I've been country????

Typing too fast.

Edited 2023-03-05 20:52 (UTC)

100fandoms is slow going at the moment, so of course I need a new one... right...? That's how this works? *grin* Thank you for this challenge, it looks like a lot of fun!

Aw, welcome - and good luck! <3

Hi mod! I'm working on a fill that's a poem. Does poetry count as its own medium, or should I just file it under medium: fic?

Oh, how cool! I think poetry should definitely count as its own medium, so I'll make it a tag once you post. <3

Awesome, thanks! :D

I'm so late to this party and starting this challenge. And I did read that selfcest was allowed, as long as the fandom and the show counts the characters as two separate characters. So I believe this would also be acceptable, but I wanted to ask first before just assuming.

Are incestuous relationships (I've been trying to stay away from this one for obvious reasons), and toxic ships allowed? Because there were a couple of angsty prompts I was thinking of doing for some of these, but the ship would not be a happy romantic one, or friendship. Ie, one of the characters would be interrogating or abusing another one. If this is not allowed as a "ship", then that is completely fine. I have plenty of material to work with with platonic, bromances, romances, and healthy familial relationships. I just wanted to ask and clarify before I write any toxic ships on my list.

Yes, you're correct - that is fine! There are no rules here regarding toxicity of fictional people's lives and love. We do ask members to be sensitive about if writing RPF, especially about living people etc, but otherwise just use a header or similar when linking to the work itself with any appropriate warnings/CNTW etc. and you're great.

Should you be posting the whole work directly to the comm for any reason, you must also use a cut (with header/info above it so people can see it before they click) and don't forget to alter the Age Restriction box on the post to "Age 18+" on anything explicit or with mature/dark themes etc. (It's not the default setting because most of our posts are just links anyway and the 18+ setting plays havoc with accessibility, so it's best just to let users select it when and if they want it.)

I trust that helps? And thanks for asking! <3

Oh yeah, no worries there, I don't write RPF. Mainly OUAT (and then a scattering of small, dead or dying ships from random fandoms. Mostly sci-fi) ^^'

But thank you. This was very helpful! And thank you for replying, I appreciate it.

Is it required to post the works directly to the community? Because I've just been posting mine to the AO3 collection. Since that's where I'm primarily at, and I'm familiar with AO3's tagging and rating system. I am not familiar with Dreamwidth's, nor do I have a profile here. So I'm not quite sure what to do...

Oh, no - it's better to post elsewhere and link back here! You'll see from previous entries that most members do exactly that.

I just mentioned that in case you were, because that's the one instance where posting more explicit/dark/mature stuff would require anything different - sorry to cause you any further confusion! <3

Whoops that is to say, yes, you can post only to ao3, no need even to crosspost. Just comment here at the end when done if you'd still like a banner.

Hi! I just found the challenge today and I have a couple of questions:

If I write a shipfic for A/B and C/D can I write a genfic for A & B & C & D focusing on their (canon) friendship, but have A/B and C/D feature in the background?

Similarly if I write an E/F shipfic would a D & E & F genfic count as a separate entry? Then E & F & G afterwards?

Probably important context: the fandom is a sports manga and the characters get shuffled around in small teams quite a lot in canon, and each group has their own dynamic. Platonic team bonding fan content is pretty popular, but they often still feature shippy stuff in the background. I can totally forgo the bg romantic ships, but I'd really like to write the various team platonic ships! Some teams are even named after colors ("Team [color]") in canon.

(Using these 7 characters other canon teams are A & B & F, C & D & E, A & D & F, D & F & G)

If I write a shipfic for A/B and C/D can I write a genfic for A & B & C & D focusing on their (canon) friendship, but have A/B and C/D feature in the background?

Yes, as long as the focus is on the A & B & C & D ship, that's fine.

And, yep, to the next - as long as you keep adding in or swapping round a character so it's a different combination, it counts as a new ship.

Good luck - I hope you have fun with the challenge!

Thank you!!!!! <3

I'm really excited! While 100 is an intimidating number I think it's suited for people like me (many ships, many fandoms, no attention span and/or time to stick around, and a long long list of "I want to write this ship one day" spanning years)

Heh, yes, indeed! ♥

Hi, I'm not new to fandoms but new to Dreamwidth. I'm sorry for such newbie questions but I'd like to ask a few things if you don't mind!

a) If I want to use the prompts (with credit of course, eg. linked back to this page) but not add the fics (do you allow art too?) to your collection/journal, is it okay?

b) My understanding is if you use couple A/B for prompt #1, that means if you want to continue to prompt #2, you should pick another ship, correct? Does it have to be completely new (C/D) or is multishipping allowed (B/C)?

c) Do you have to do all the 100 prompts?

Thank you so much, sorry to bother you :)

Not a bother at all!

If you want to just use the table, then as long as you credit

100ships for it, you can do whatever you choose - it's none of my business!

If you would like to join in with the community in any way, or might choose to do so in the future, then:

a) Yes, art is allowed - all kinds of fanworks are welcome!

You do not have to post to the AO3 collection. For the community, I actually prefer people not to post their works directly here - just to link back to wherever they have posted them (if they choose to). (There's a header you can c+p to use for that in this post, but that's optional too - as long as you include all the same kind of information in your linking post, that's fine - i.e. Fandom, ship, prompt used, and either Choose Not To Warn or add any appropriate ratings/Content notes/warnings so people know what to expect at the link.)

The lowest level of interaction is simply to work through the prompts alone, then link back to the completed table here on this post to get an achievement banner.

You can also choose to link works here individually, or in batches, if you'd like other members to be able to see your work - whichever members prefer is completely fine.

If you're new to Dreamwidth and puzzled by tagging - I am usually around and will take care of tags, no problem. (You can add existing tags if you're happy to do so, that's great, but only a mod can make new ones - Dreamwidth has only a limited no of tags.)

b) Yes, you can multi-ship; you just can't repeat the exact same pairing without adding at least 1 new character to the mix.

100ships is all about multi-shipping. You can work your way through the entire table using only Character A, if you can think of 100 ship combos for them. (So, yes, A/B, B/C, C/D, A/B/C, A/B/C/D - all count as separate ships.)

c) The aim is ultimately to the complete the table, but 100 prompts is a lot! There is an achievement banner for people who complete it, but absolutely no penalty for anyone who doesn't. I am pretty slow at these things myself - I always think that if they inspire any fanworks at all, they've done their job, really.

(You do also have the option to swap out up to 10 prompts if you wish to do so - the only caveat is that the new prompts must also be colour names like the rest, and that you want to watch out you don't accidentally pick a duplicate prompt.)

I hope that helps, but if you are just after taking the table for your own purposes, then you can ignore the vast majority of this reply!

I hope you have fun however you choose to approach the table and the comm. Good luck! ♥

(Same Anon)

Thank you for your explanation and reply! Yes, I was interested, but thinking of posting elsewhere because for some reason the Rich Text Editor didn't load when I last tried using a Dreamwidth... this has been so helpful, admittedly some terms confused me because so far I'm just an occasional fic reader on this site.

The Rich Text Editor can be a pain sometimes. (I usually just use the HTML editor, which is actually way more reliable and far less hardcore than it sounds. Most other people look at me in horror when I say that, though!!)

Terms? Header?? That's just this bit:

Creator:
Title:
Rating:
Type: (Art/Fic/Graphics/Vid/Mix/Podfic etc.)
Size/length/word count etc.:
Prompt:
Fandom/Ship:
Notes/Warnings: (eg. spoilers, triggers, warnings etc. or CNTW)
Summary

Link: [Your text here]

(and you can c[opy] + p[aste] it in from the text box above, or just use your own preferred version.)

100ships is a community, which works a little differently to the regular individual blog/journals. Mod = Moderator (me, in this case).

Anyway, as I said before, you're welcome to run off with the prompts wherever - but if you find yourself feeling confident enough wit Dreamwidth to post links here, you will be very welcome indeed at any time. ♥

Oh no I mean Dreamwidth's lingo and how it works I guees 😅 for example I discovered its Cut feature works differently than typical Read More cut. Does it accept Markdown? I remember on Pixiv and Privatter you can even make add [new page] to create a chapter for serialized writing. Sorry for many questions, I've been looking around to find another repository of fandom purposes beyond Ao3 & fandom.
