Welcome (back) to #AggressivelyArospectacular!

#AggressivelyArospectacular is a week-long event promoting the creation of original content in arospec communities. It is brought to you by the same people behind #AggressivelyArospecWeek.

Are you arospec? Do you paint portraits, draw comics, write poetry, make music, invent stories? Do you make photo-edits or short films? Or maybe jewelry? Or sculptures? Or anything else?

In short, do you create?

Because if so, this event is here for you!

From the 7th to the 13th of November, submit any original creative content you want us to see by tagging it as #AggressivelyArospectacular (in the first five tags) or sending us a link through our submission box. Your work will then be shared on this blog for our community to enjoy.

Your work does not have to specifically focus on arospec experiences, although we always appreciate a content warning if your piece features romantic content.

Please submit as many pieces in as many different mediums as you like! We would love to be able to spam other people’s dash with art for a whole week.

Let’s show the world how diverse and creative the arospec community is!

Hello AggressivelyArospectacular! I'm an aromantic artist + creator, and Katabasis is my dark fantasy webseries about monsters and people with animal heads.

A failed ritual leaves an immortal woman bound to a monster. Now she must contend with their budding (and violent) partnership, a killer bent on hunting down her kind, and the quest for the legendary creature that could make her life normal again.

Currently it has two canonically aromantic characters who are in a QPR. The story overall has no focus on romance; there are romantic relationships, but they're more lowkey or in the background. As an aro person I enjoy featuring arospec characters in my work, and I intend to explore a wider variety of identities/experiences in the future.

Please be aware that Katabasis is intended for mature readers, and contains content such as gore and nudity.

#AggressivelyArospectacular is happening in less than 15 days!

Let’s take this moment to remember all of the different ways to submit work to the project:

- Make a new post on tumblr and use the tag #AggressivelyArospectacular (in one word) in the FIRST FIVE TAGS. (that last rule is super important, if you don’t follow it we won’t find your post.)

- Submit a link to your post if it can be found elsewhere than tumblr.

- If you don’t have a Tumblr or if it is not safe for you to come out as aro on your personal blog, you can directly submit your work to us anonymously and we’ll post it for you.

If your post hasn’t appeared on our blog three days after you have posted it, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly and link us to your post!

Any original creative content is welcome! Whether it’s aro-focused or not! (Although we do like to keep our blog mostly romance-free, it’s not a strict rule either.)

#AggressivelyArospectacular  has officially started!

Submit your original works to show the world how talented Arospec people are and follow the tag AAS21 to discover what the community shares with us.

Remember #AggressivelyArospectacular is intended to be about any kind of original creative content, whether it’s aro-focused or not. That means you can submit romance, erotica and even non-english content; the only thing that matters is that you identify somewhere on the aromantic spectrum.

It’s not really about being aro but I am Aro it’s a little short. 

# Aggressively Arospectacular 2021 is over!

If you submitted a piece that hasn’t yet been reblogged, please contact us and send us a link to it!

And don’t forget our blog is accepting submissions of content related to arospec identities throughout the whole year. Just tag what you want us to see as #AggressivelyArospec so we can find it.

Today’s the last day of Aggressively Arospectacular 2021!
