Gundam Wing COMING OF AGE Fan Exchange

Supercarrier: fandom flagship.  Everybody and their dog ships it.  The fandom is glutted with artwork and fic.  You cannot escape this ship.

Dreadnought: massively popular.  Nearly everybody ships it.  You can, with dedication, in theory, reach the end of the AO3 archive for the ship’s tag, but it’ll take a long time.

Cruiser: pretty popular ship.  Not everyone ships it, but everyone knows about it.  Has a good amount of fic/art, and probably multiple ask blogs.

Frigate: just plain popular.  Feels like it could use more fanworks.  New people to the fandom might not know about it, but they’ll stumble across it sooner rather than later.

Gunboat: bit of a rarepair.  It might have an ask blog or two.  A couple big name fans ship it.  Probably only takes a few weeks to get through the entire AO3 backlog, and one new fic gets added during that time.

Tugboat: rarepair.  Almost never seen except as a side pairing to a more popular ship.  You can usually get through everything on AO3 in a matter of days.  You’ve forgotten what it is to be picky about what you read.

Rowboat: less than a dozen people ship it.  You all know each other.  You exist in an endless cycle of the same five people desperately producing art and fic and one person who constantly contributes headcanons.

Coming of Age!

This year, 2016, marks the 21st anniversary of Gundam Wing and after careful consideration [aka a poll], the winning prompt was a coming of age party. 

The rules can be located here and the following are our deadlines:

Entries will be accepted until March 20, 2016

Submission Deadline is April 5, 2016

Posts will go up on queue on April 6th and begin showing up from April 7th, to April 8th.

Any questions can be sent my way and feel free to spread word around. I’ve seen a lot of wonderful writers appear on here out of the woodwork [you guys know who you are] and I’d love for our community to grow.

(I was gonna do this as a WIP Wednesday, but screw it. I wanna share now. The full fic is originally based on this thread here. I blame @claraxbarton, @maevemauvaise and @simulacraryn)

The sofa was just barely big enough for the three of them. Inevitably two would wind up cuddled in a corner while the third stretched out at the opposite end, their legs draped over someone’s thighs. Tonight it was Trowa and Relena in the corner with Duo’s feet in Relena’s lap. As they neared the end the movie, popcorn bowl and wine glasses empty, she’d taken the opportunity to repaint her carefully manicured nails a nearly black shade of red violet. Duo had wiggled his toes at her until she smiled, rolled her eyes and painted a coat onto his toenails.

High School fics. Coffee Shop fics. Fake Relationship fics. Some pairings just seem to have it all. Well, not anymore! It’s time to dust off that Arranged Marriage idea you had last year. It’s time to dig out that Best Friend Turned Lover outline you wrote. Come join the Gundam Wing RarePair Big Bang, and give your rarepair the tropey fanwork they deserve! 

Tagging everyone I can think of - please spread the word and let’s do a thing!!!

You know, if Duo had a birthday date, it would be February 29th. Why? Because that’s just his damn luck, that’s why. Remember this scene?

So, assuming we all agree (I’m not really giving you a choice here…), then:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUO!

Oh, and since he had no way of knowing his real birthday, I bet he’d choose April 1st, because that’s just the kind of a loveable baka that he is! ^-^
