Special thanks to Mod Atarah ( @mindatworkk ) for the lovely gifset!
Kataang Week is when we, as a corner of the fandom, celebrate the ship Kataang! The prompts for Kataang Week 2020 were selected through three rounds of voting over the last few weeks and all prompts were submitted by Tumblr users.
Summer Kataang Week 2020 starts on Monday, July 27th - just under five weeks from today - and ends on Monday, August 3rd.
The most common ways to participate are by creating art or writing a fic and posting it online. Some people try and create something for every day while others only fill one or two prompts.
As always, we want to reassure you that it’s perfectly okay not to do every prompt! We just hope to have lovely pieces to share on each day.
But I can’t draw or write!
That’s totally fine - there are more ways to participate! You can sing a song, create a graphic, write a poem - just about anything really. You can also show your support by reblogging and liking other people’s contributions.
The following will be the running order for Kataang Week 2020:
Keeping Warm - Monday July 27th
Blood/Wounds - Wednesday July 29th
PDA (Public Displays of Affection) - Thursday July 30th
Heritage/Responsibilities - Friday July 31st
Napping - Saturday August 1st
The Red Thread of Fate - Sunday August 2nd
Free Day - Monday August 3rd
*Due to a four-way tie in the final round of voting, I have paired those prompts instead of further delaying preparation. As a result, we have Blood & Wounds sharing a day, as well as Heritage & Responsibilities. You can incorporate one or both prompts for each day. And I am also doing this because I see no advantage to any additional rounds of voting and further delays.
**And as always, there is a Free Day at the end of the week. You can use this day to post anything you’d like! It can be a prompt that didn’t receive enough votes or something you’ve been wanting to work on, anything goes!
How should I tag my work?
The easiest way for us to find your work so we can reblog it to this blog is by using the tag “kataang week”. Using “kataang” and “kataangtag” also help. You must tag one of the three in your first five tags otherwise it doesn’t appear in the search.
Sometimes even properly tagged posts may not appear when we search the tags, so if you do not see your content reblogged, please let us know.
Once we’ve reblogged it to this blog we add our own tags (a prompt tag and a user tag) for easy organization. This means we can find all the work for one prompt or all the work from one user in one easy click (this also means that if you have changed your username since participating last year you need to let us know so we can update your tag!).
Can I post my stuff other places online too?
Why five weeks? Is that enough time?
Traditionally, we like to provide our content creators seven weeks (for the seven prompts) to create quality content. Kataang Week is also traditionally held in the last week of July.
The delays in voting and preparations falls entirely on me (Mod Dan) and I apologize for not having everything ready for the seven week mark.
If you are unable to complete a prompt in time, please do not fret. You can alert this blog by mentioning it in your post (ex. @kataang-week ) or messaging one of the mods and your content will still be shared even if it is a week (or a month - or sometimes more!) late.
We also like to post WIP for Kataang Week and encourage everyone else to do so as well - we reblog it here for motivation!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to send an ask. Don’t forget to reblog this as well to help spread the word!
Good luck, Kataangers, and happy content creating! :)
