Shout-out to @1preshbb for making this awesome art!
Hey, y'all! We're so excited to bring Sonamy Week '26 to you guys. But there is a little housekeeping and some ground rules to get out of the way first, so please make sure to read through this if you are planning to participate.
Sonic and Amy say you should read these rules thoroughly. (Amazing render by @undeadgamer-artist!)
While most of this stuff should be pretty standard for a fanweek, we do have a few rules in place to ensure that everyone has the best experience possible. Please note that these are subject to change if we feel that anything needs to be added or revised. If you have questions or would like any clarification, please ask! The askbox is already open.
No NSFW whatsoever. We want everyone to have a fun, safe time celebrating our favorite pink and blue hedgehogs.
Extreme gore is not permitted. Mild blood (such as a nosebleed) or other minor injuries are allowed.
Regarding both of the previous points, if you're on the fence about whether it's okay, use your common sense.
While fankids and AUs are completely welcome, don't use someone else's OCs or AUs without permission.
Any use of generative AI is not allowed. We want to see your real human work that you've made because you love Sonamy!
