FAQs

Are there any content restrictions or content rules?

- No! We expect that all works are appropriately tagged, content warned, or whatever the mods and creators deem is appropriate for audience awareness.

- This event is inclusive of all identities. Including exclusionary language, ideas, themes or plots in a work will lead to it being removed from association with this event. When in doubt, please ask the Mods.

I don't know if I'll be able to post for Week (X) during that week. Can I post later?

- Absolutely! Posting for a past week is always allowed, and we will include a grace period for July 1-7th for any 'catch up' entries to be added to the A03 collection. Please do not post for a future week 'in advance'.

I'm not sure if my work fits the theme of the week.

- Ask away! Our moderators will field any questions about themes and prompts. When in doubt, reach out!

Does my creation for this event have to be specifically for this event?

Rules for this year's event -

If you want to participate using our themes, tags, social media posts, and have your works included in the A03 collection, please be aware of the Event Expectations:

1. Works must be queer-centric - whether that means including queer characters, relationships, themes, issues or conversations. All identities are honored and valid in this event. Any exclusionary themes, language, tags or concepts will result in your work being removed from association with this event.

2. Works must capture the weekly prompt or any of the sub-prompts for that week - we encourage creators to use the weekly theme as the core theme of their creation, and the prompts as the added flavor.

3. Use of generative AI for any part of the creative work is prohibited. We reserve the right to explore the creative process of a work with the creator in private if we suspect it was artificially generated. Artificial works - whether part or whole of a project - are theft, and will not be reblogged or added to the AO3 collection.

4. Please utilize tags appropriately. This event is open to participants of all ages - it is expected that creators tag, warn and use tagging systems appropriately for all their contributions.

5. Utilize the tag #GWPride2025, #OperationPride, #Gundam Wing Pride 2025

6. Use our ArchiveOfOurOwn Collection: Gundam Wing Pride 2025
