Hey, it’s year seven!!!

Thank you to everyone who made the 2019 OMS Challenge a major success!! There were so many contributions!! If you’ve not checked out  the masterpost and want to see all the amazing work, click here.

In order to participate in this event, your fanwork needs to feature Old Married Spirk. That’s it! I wanted to make the challenge very flexible so that everyone who is interested is able to join.

!! Kindly note: Out of respect for all members of our community and the history of green skin being associated with anti-Semitic propaganda, I am requesting all participants to please refrain from submitting anything depicting green-skinned Vulcans.

Posting runs from November 1 ~ November 30, 2020 with no extensions. There are no assigned posting dates, so you get to choose when and how to share your work.

How can I participate?

Easy. Create some OMS fanwork:

Writing (Long fic, short fic, poetry, etc. No min word count)

Art (All mediums, including gifsets and picsets)

Playlists

Videos

Anything else!

In  November, I’ll ask you to fill out this quick finished work form (removed after the event ended) once  you’ve posted. The masterpost is built from this form, so please be sure to fill it out. Once it’s finished, everyone’s contributions will be promoted and  then we’ll all have massive OMS feels. :D

…What if I’m sort of already doing fanwork of them?

Got something you’re working on and already shared a snippet or two on your blog? Need feedback on your project along the way and want to publicly ask your followers? You’re welcome to join, as long as you didn’t post the full work before November. <3

I want to sign up! What’s next?!
