OFMD Rare Pair Week 2023
Hi all! Rare Pair Week is in 1 month (Feb 12-18)! This week is devoted to celebrating under-appreciated and/or non-canon ships! (For example Karl and Olivia is an under-appreciated ship, meanwhile Roach x Fang is a non-canon ship)
The Rules:
1. Only rare pairings allowed! These ships can contain characters from other fandoms. Throples and polycules welcome!
2. Your submissions must be original. Please don’t repost something you shared 2 months ago or anything belonging to someone else.
3. Do not harass anyone for any ship or character they draw/write for rarepair week. Badminton x Kylo Ren may be odd but we aren’t judging.
4. Ships considered rare are anything except Ed/Izzy, SteadyHands, and Ed/Stede because they have reached the 1k milestone on ao3. Oluwande/Jim and Lucius/Pete are allowed because although they’ve also hit the milestone, they’re very commonly only background pairings.
Use the tag #ofmdrarepair23 on Twitter or Tumblr and we will share it here! You can also add your fics to a rarepair week 2023 AO3 collection that will be linked in our bio closer to the week we begin. (I will try to share everything, feel free to tag this account as well to help me find it!)
Prompts:
Day 1: Coffee Shops / Roommates / Confessions
Day 2: Tattoos / Piercings / First Time
Day 3: Soulmates / Heartbreak / (Found) Families
Day 4: Enemies to Lovers / Mermaids / Sci-fi
Day 5: Paranormal / High Fantasy / Only One Bed
Day 6: Music / Magic / Fake Dating

You only need to use one prompt but if you manage to get all three prompts in one day I will add you to a Hall of Fame post at the end of the week!
If you want to make your Rare Pair Week extra spicy~
1: Daddy
2: Leather
3: BDSM
4: Tentacles
5: Marking (branding or biting)
6: Choking
7: Free Kink!
Let me know if you have any questions! I hope everyone enjoys Rare Pair Week!
FAQ
What pairings are allowed?
Any ship except Stede/Edward and Edward/Izzy because both had reached the # of fics cut off on ao3 without other ships tagged.
I used the tag but my fic/art was not shared?
Sorry! I’m only 1 person so I’m sure things will slip through the cracks. Please message @ofmdrarepairwk on Twitter or @ofmdrarepairweek on tumblr and I will be sure to share!
Link to the ao3 collection?
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
What if I don’t want my fic/art shared on the official social media account?
No worries! Just don’t use the tag ofmdrarepair23 and/or add DNR (do not retweet/reblog)/add “do not share” to your fic submission tags
