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.

The prompts are color names, but can they be used in any way? (ex: "Bone" being used in the NC-17 sense or the hurt/comfort broken bone sence)

Absolutely - all of those! I was very amused by the double/treble etc. meanings of some of them.

As it says, please interpret them as freely as you wish. As long as there's some sort of connection to the prompt in your fill, you're good.

This looks like so much fun and the perfect challenge for my chronic incapacity to focus on a single ship 😂 thank you for putting this together!

Oh, what is this? Could it be the call of my people? Why, yes, yes it is! :D

*grabs prompts and boogies away*

My pleasure - good luck!

Also, can the fic format be adjusted? I post my fic to both AO3 and to

windsnocturne.

Haha, I'm glad - good luck with it!

Do you mean the header? That's just example coding to use if you want it - using the AO3 share feature is fine, or any similar header, provided it contains the same kind of info so people know what they're clicking on. There's no specific format required for fic for the challenge, though.

Just the fic post to wherever you usually do and then link it back here at some point - you can post an entry for each fic or collect the links into batches as you prefer.

Awesome, thanks.

Oh, this looks really fun! :) I've actually been doing something similar for years now - I have a document with a table with 100 prompts, and any time I get a new ship I really like I choose one of the prompts and have to write a short description of a fanart for it. (I never draw the arts - it's just to ensure I'm visualising something specific, I guess?) But, after many years I've almost managed to fill the table up, and it's really cool but also a lil sad that such a long-standing tradition is almost done for, so I've been wondering what to do next, haha...

But, this seems like it'd be really fun as a new step! It could be just like, hey, if you wanna write or read fanfic for a particular ship, make sure you take the time to write a drabble or whatever for this table, too~

Oh, just one question: how often can we post to the comm? Just any time we make progress on the table (unless we'd be spamming, obviously)?

What about different versions of the same character? (A sampling of examples I've thought of)

-The Doctor from Doctor Who; do Nine/Rose and Ten/Rose count as different ships or can they only appear once as Doctor/Rose?
-Character A/Character B, but we've seen versions of them in parallel universes? And maybe mix-and-match Character A/version of character B from ep-X?
-One of the characters gets-replaced by a not quite exact cope of themselves? Are A/original-B and A/new-B the same or different relationships?
-Different fictional versions of real people? Say you want to write John/Abigail Adams from 1776 and the John Adams mini-series?
-Different versions of characters across adaptations? Either classics characters that have been greatly reinterpreted (are Elizabeth/Darcy from the novel the same ship as in The Lizzie Bennett Diaries?) or say comic book characters that have been adapted a few different times in movies/shows/cartoons (can you write Lois Lane/Clark Kent from the Arrowverse, Smallville, Lois & Clark, the animated series, and the Snyderverse as separate ships or are they the same?)
-What about in-canon major resets? pre/post Crisis? New 52?

(the last is definitely the least relevant to me, but it is worth saying with the rest of these)

This sounds interesting! I have one question though, can we write the fics in other languages? (but keep the headers and tagging in English of course) or is the comm English only?

Ooh, yes. This looks like the perfect way to finally tick some boxes in my really, very long shipping spreadsheet 😅. Thank you for putting this together!

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.)

So, yes, if the different versions of the characters are canonical - the Doctor's incarnations, parallel universe versions, clones - then they are canonically separate characters.

If they're not canonical, they can't count as a separate character.

The same character appearing in different parts of the same universe as the same character (all Arrowverse shows, or DW/SJA/Torchwood) is just one character and can't count separately.

What about in-canon major resets? pre/post Crisis? New 52?

That sort of thing I can't really answer, because it varies hugely across different fandoms - so, if the fandom generally treats such things as entirely different canonical characters, then that's fine. If they usually treat them as the same character, then they won't count twice.

Adaptations count as separate fandoms (although participants, of course, can avoid them personally if they feel they're too similar to count in their case(s)).

ETA: Sorry about all the editing - I hadn't thought about the adaptations thing and went back and forth a bit!

Oh, yes, other languages will be fine! As long, as you say, the header info is in English. That's great.

Hurrah - and good luck!

Ha, that's really cool - and I'm glad to be of service! XD

Oh, just one question: how often can we post to the comm? Just any time we make progress on the table (unless we'd be spamming, obviously)?

Yes, exactly. Any time you create a fill, link back here, or if you're doing them quite quickly, in small batches would be fine (or if anyone prefers that).

So I know some fandoms have different canonical versions of characters.

Alternatively, how is this challenge going to handle entries from Final Fantasy 7? Will the original compilation of FF7 be treated separately from the Remake (because these are two different canons and different characterizations) or will they be combined?

For example, I write for the FF8 fandom and Squall Leonhart is present there as well as in the Dissidia Final Fantasy universe (along with a handful of other main protags and antagonists) and Kingdom Hearts (much older than both. Would it be acceptable to use two different versions of this character (and other characters that have different versions of themselves) but obviously pair them with the people present in that universe?

I'm a little unclear on this paragraph so bear with me, but:

If these are separate/different versions of the same character in each different fandom, then, yes, they would count as a new canonical character each time, as long as that's how you and the fandom(s) in question regards them. (Which I think is what you were asking?)

If these characters appear in different fandoms as the same character, then they count as the one canonical character here, too. You can of course use them in all the fandoms they appear in with anyone you like; just not in a repeat pairing. (Multiverse and crossover pairings are very welcome here!)

As to specific fandom quirks & issues - that really is up to you as to how you (and/or the fandom) would usually treat those characters. If that's as separate characters (which is what it sounds like here) then, yes, absolutely, treat them in the same way for this challenge. And if not, then not.

I hope that helps.

Yup! That's what I'm asking.

You can of course use them in all the fandoms they appear in with anyone you like; just not in a repeat pairing. (Multiverse and crossover pairings are very welcome here!)

Mhm! I figured I'd ask since I wasn't sure if anyone would be a stickler for that, but since this is a very "You are responsible for knowing what's specific to canon/same character." I figured I'd ask to double check! Mostly because FF8 version is a complete version of the character, whereas Dissidia's version is presumably fragments of some aspects of their journey, but mostly being overrun with being shaped by this (Dissidia's) universe.

Thank you so much for answering my questions! I'm sorry if they sounded confusing considering different versions of canon characters across fandoms can be a little tricky. LOL I cannot wait to participate in this!

Good! And, no worries, it's always better to ask if you have queries. And I did think that was what you were asking, I just thought I'd better answer both possible interpretations in case. :-)

Mostly because FF8 version is a complete version of the character, whereas Dissidia's version is presumably fragments of some aspects of their journey, but mostly being overrun with being shaped by this (Dissidia's) universe.

Yeah, I mean, that certainly sounds like something with good reason to be considered separately, anyway - but, yes, it's got to be a judgement call from someone who knows the fandom for this kind of thing, I think.

Thank you! ʕ•̫͡•ʔ♡*:.✧

You can't write the same character combination twice

What's your take on poly ships, could I write A/B for one fic and A/B/C for another, even though A and B are in both?

Yes, that's absolutely fine! The threesome is a new ship, featuring a new character. (You could even keep it up with A/B/C/D etc. as long as your imagination and abilities held out. XD)

This is so great for my multi-shipper tendencies. I love the prompt table.
