100ships | 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.

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.
