It’s a Secret Valentines, so creators will be anonymous until the creator reveal on February 14th.

Happy First Day of QuiObi Omegaverse Week!

The AO3 collection is open! If you post on Tumblr, please tag us or use #quiobi omegaverse week so we can reblog you.

✨QuiObi Omegaverse Week starts this Sunday!✨

It's almost here! Start putting the finishing touches on your works (or start the panicked last minute writing/drawing 😉). We will keep the challenge open for 1 week for late works before posting a masterlist.

Also, feel free to crosspost your omegaverse works with the Jinnobi Challenge. Check out their guidelines and contribute if you can. More Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan goodness to pass around.

2025 Jinnobi Challenge

Hello there! It’s March, which means it’s time for my super early reminder about the Jinnobi Challenge happening in August! This will be the 9th annual Jinnobi Challenge. It’s bizarre to think that it has been almost ten years since I started this, but here we are still shipping this beautiful ship! You can check out all the previous master lists here for the Challenge: 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024.

Here’s all the info and FAQ for those who are thinking of participating in this Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon challenge (I will repost this info periodically as it gets closer to August).

When is it?: The challenge will run from August 1 – August 31. Any Jinnobi work you submit must be complete and it must be submitted sometime during August 1 – August 31. You have from now until August to work on submissions. PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR SUBMISSION BEFORE THE CHALLENGE STARTS. Due to time differences in various countries, I do allow people to post on September 1st. 

Who can enter: The challenge is open to writers, artists and everyone in between. Art, poetry, photo manips, videos, gifsets, fanfiction, it’s all welcome. There’s no theme except it has to be Obi-Wan Kenobi/Qui-Gon Jinn. It can be set during the prequels, the originals, the kenobi show, or an AU. It’s up to you. You can submit multiple entries too if you’d like. For fic writers there’s no limit on the length of your fic(s).

How to enter: When August 1st, comes around you’re welcome to post your complete work on whatever social network or fanfiction site you are comfortable using. Please tag your work (if the site you’re using allows you to tag) with the tag Jinnobi Challenge 2025 or The Jinnobi Challenge 2025 whether it’s a fic, art, or a post.  Message me with a link to your work (or links, if you submit more than one work), once you’ve published it so I know to put it on the master list!

I tend to check tumblr fairly regularly so if you want a fast response, I recommend contacting me via that.

Rules:

1. No underage relationships. (underage = below 18 years of age)

2. No Abuse or Noncon between the main pairing (Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon)

3. If you post anything triggering, please tag it with the appropriate warnings

4. Your fic must have a rating on it (the challenge is open to all ratings)

5. If you’re posting a long WIP, the first chapter must be posted on or after August 1, and the last chapter has to be posted before August 31, so I don’t recommend it unless you know you can get it done in that time.

FAQ:

What if I don’t have anything ready, but I do have a Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan work I happened to post in August?: As long as the quiobi work was complete and was posted between the 1st – 31st of August 2025, you can tag it ‘Jinnobi Challenge 2025’ and enter it in the challenge.

What if it’s not slash?: This challenge celebrates the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan ship. Pre-slash is fine, just please no ‘Qui-Gon as a parental figure to Obi-Wan’ fics as that is not what this challenge is about.

What if it’s a fic in a series?: if it’s a standalone complete story in a series than yes, it qualifies.

What if I already entered it in a different quiobi fic challenge?: The fic must be a new fic posted in August 2025 (no reposting old works unless it’s an extreme rewrite to basically be nothing like the original) and it must be complete. It’s ok with me if it is tagged in another challenge as long as it meets the guidelines for this challenge but you’ll want to check if it’s ok with the other challenge you posted it in.

What if it’s Obi/Qui/others? Or there’s Obi/other, Qui/other, but still Qui/Obi?: The main pairing should still be Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon, even if it’s poly, or if there are other partners or past/present relationships.

Does it have to follow a prompt?: No. As long as it’s Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and complete it can be about anything. If you want a prompt to work with here are a few you can choose to use for inspiration:

Set aboard a ship

rescue or recovery fic

holding hands

royalty or fantasy AU

Using the Force to communicate with or tame a creature.

It can be as angsty, fluffy, or as AU as you want as long as it follows the rules of the challenge.

Is there a prize this year?: Yes! I want to continue having a prize each year. This year is Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan postcards. I’ll have a post up about the prize with more details in the next few weeks!

✨3 weeks until QuiObi Omegaverse Week✨

We are getting excited! It's almost time for omegaverse-flavored QuiObi wonderfulness. We hope your art and fics are coming together beautifully, and we can’t wait to celebrate all the amazing work you’ve been crafting!

A whump event set in August, run by @starryybrained!

Write-up of prompts & rules under the cut!

Ao3 might be down, but that gives us some time to dust off some omegaverse WIPS for the QuiObi Omegaverse Week next month!! The challenge runs August 3-9.
