The 100 Ships Prompt Challenge Community

Time for another chat post!

It's been over six months now since 100ships launched, and we collectively have created 211 works in 116 fandoms in the Ao3 Collection (and I know there have been one or two people not posting there, too). *\o/*

As we have very few repeat-ships tagged on AO3, it seems likely that's also pretty nearly 211 or more distinct ships, which is amazing! If my maths is up to it (and it often isn't), we've covered 78 of the prompts - the most popular being #1 Adamant with 9 uses. In short: multi-shippers, as you were, carry on; you're fabulous. ♥

Anyway, how is it going? This is a social post for people who want it to chat to each other in the comments, so have at it.

Anyone running out of steam and needing a bit of cheering on/poking? Stuck for your next ship? What to do for that one awkward prompt? Want to try different media?

Or if you'd like to celebrate your achievements you can share here if you've written a ship you've always wanted to, or created the tag on AO3 (go, you, and your pool noodle!), or created in a new-to-you media, format or style, tell us about it.

Welcome to 100ships everyone!

I'm thisbluespirit, your mod. Hello and welcome all, and thanks so much for taking the plunge and joining in - and even posting works already! *\o/* I didn't know if anyone else would be up for a multishipping challenge, so I'm delighted to find there's a whole bunch of us around.


Use this post to introduce yourself (or not; there is no obligation to be sociable to complete the table!) and share how you're aiming to go about filling the table, if you've got any plans or strategies in mind - challenges you're doing in combination or if you're trying to do it in a specific way, like one ship per fandom, or multiship your way through one fandom, or let your Little Black Dress character get around even more than usual. Any prompts seem especially tempting or tricky? What media are people planning to work in?


(For me, I just wanted something to give me a kick to write a few more ships, especially some that I've been meaning to get around to and thought, "Wouldn't it be great if there were a comm like 100fandoms, but for ships, and then I'd have an excuse?" So, that's what I'm planning to do, and it probably will be fic, though I do also enjoy icon-making and sometimes other things, too. And here we all are.)


Anyway, this is just an opportunity to chat or check in (or not), as you please - happy shipping, and good luck!
