Bleach Week 2026 ft. UraIchi???
Yes, you read that right. Normally, this would be our ninth year (NINTH 🫨🫨🫨) of UraIchi Week, but after nine years, some of us are getting burned out. Still love the ship but no longer as crazy about it as when we first started. But we still wanted to continue hosting events here, and of course, there are still people actively creating fanworks for UraIchi, which is why we decided to expand this year to include all of Bleach. Basically, the idea is that you can write anything you want, but it must include Urahara Kisuke/&Kurosaki Ichigo in some way. Naturally, that means you can still focus on UraIchi as your main ship, but you can also write for other characters or ships and make UraIchi a side or background ship. So long as they're a thing that exists in your fanwork, you're good.
As always, there is no sign-up, and everybody can participate. Completed works and WIPs are both acceptable, and any type of fanwork (fanfic, fanart, gifsets, fanvids, etc.) is welcome, though with this year's prompts in particular, this event does skew more towards fanfic. NSFW and/or potentially trigger-y content is allowed, but please remember to tag your works properly.
Posting:
Bleach Week 2026 ft. UraIchi is hosted here on Tumblr and on AO3. For posts on Tumblr, remember to ping @uraichievents and tag #Bleach Week 2026 ft. UraIchi (the ping is more important though, as I don't always check the tag). For AO3, you can add your work(s) to the collection linked up above. It will open on July 13th.
Prompts:
This year, we're going with alternative formats, spin-the-wheel style!
Spin the Wheel -> Get Your Prompt -> Create a Fanwork in That Format
As per usual, prompts aren't mandatory, they're just for inspiration, and it's a fun twist on the more common writing formats. The prompts we have in the wheel are also just what the mods came up with, so if you think of something else, feel free to go with that as well.
That should be it! Looking forward to seeing what people come up with!
