Is there a fandom challenge for AAW this year? I’d love to propose some prompts if not!

Asexual Awareness Week 2017 is October 22 - 28!

Responses can be canon, headcanon, a simple statement, fanfic, fanart, aesthetic/moodboards, photomanips, playlists, meta, analysis, gifsets, quotes, etc.! Any kind of fan produced content that you believe fits within these prompts is welcome! Let’s generate as much content as we can!

As always the tag is “#AAWFC”.

Sun 22nd, Day 1: Post about canon and headcanoned asexual/spectrum characters in books and comics.

Mon 23rd, Day 2: Post about canon and headcanoned asexual/spectrum characters in shows and movies.

Tues 24th, Day 3: Post about canon and headcanoned asexual/spectrum characters in games and any other media not mentioned in the previous days.

Wed 25th, Day 4: Post about how a canon asexual/spectrum character came out or how you believe a headcanoned asexual/spectrum character would come out. Or post about them not coming out and why they haven’t.

Thurs 26th, Day 5: Post about how a canon asexual/spectrum character shows their pride or how you think a headcanoned asexual/spectrum character shows their pride. What kind of merch would they wear/display, would they go to pride, would they talk about being ace/spec, etc.?

Fri 27th, Day 6: AU day! Post about what canon/headcanoned asexual/spectrum characters from different fandoms that you would like to see meet. What would their meeting would be like, why would you like to see them meet, what sort of relationship do you think they’d have, etc.?

Sat 28th, Day 7: Post about asexual representation in general. What does it mean to see asexual/spectrum characters in the media you consume? Why is it important to you to see asexual/spectrum characters in the media you consume? What sort of stories/plotlines would you like to see about asexual/spectrum characters? What genre do you really want to see asexual/spectrum characters in? How would you like to see asexual/spectrum people represented?

We have dates! Keep in mind that this year, AroSpec Awareness Week starts on a Sunday rather than last year, which was on Monday. We are so excited for this year’s week!

Expect posts about the upcoming personal prompts and fandom prompts! Also feel free to generate posts and artwork advertising this year’s event. If you have suggestions for activities, please don’t hesitate to send us an ask or respond to this post (we’d love suggestions and other ideas!)

Also consider: we don’t need to approve your own suggestions - feel free to do them on your own! We are available to spread the word about it :)
