Welcome to KOTLC Characters of Colour Week!
When: February 7th-13th, 2027 Why: Characters of colour in fandom, not just in the KOTLC fandom, are generally underrepresented and undervalued compared to white characters in fandom. Let's celebrate the characters of colour in KOTLC! Where: here on tumblr and on ao3! On tumblr, please use the tag #kotlccocweek2027. On ao3, please add it to the kotlccocweek2027 collection and tag it with #kotlccocweek2027.
Some guidelines:
Although I won't stop you, please avoid racebending! This week is to focus on canonical characters of colour, not canonically white characters. However, characters whose races are ambiguous (like Tiergan) are fine.
Other species are kind of a gray area, given that, unlike elves, they don't appear to have race like humans do. Therefore, I'd prefer if you stick away from other species and focus on canonical characters of colour.
Any kind of submission is fine. That includes recursive fics (fanfiction of a fanfiction), podfics, art, poetry, just fanfiction... as long as it focuses on canonical characters of colour.
Of course, you can include white characters in your fics, just relegate them to anything other than the main character.
