Welcome to Rogue Trader Women's Week! Happy to have you!
Link to the plain text prompts and image descriptions here
What is this?
This is an event dedicated to enjoying and appreciating any and all wonderful women of the Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader video game. You can show your enjoyment and appreciation by making a fanwork of any type focused on one of the canon female characters, sharing it between 2nd of March and 8th of March and engaging with the works made by others as energy and personal tastes allow.
Look below for more details!
Who are you?
There are two of us.
Mallory can be found @sisterdomina on tumblr and @stomes4 on AO3. She writes fanfic, draws, compiles fandom stats, and creates graphics for this event. She is an avid supporter of women's rights, wrongs, and dubious in-betweens.
Eri can be found @quescon on tumblr and @TopoftheLighthouse on AO3. She is a fanfiction writer with more ideas than sense, an enabler to her friends, and a Jae Heydari apologist. She has also come up with the idea for this event in the first place.
What is allowed?
All kinds of fanworks, including, but not limited to: fic, art, podfic, gifs, mini painting, poetry, crafts, interpretive dance, etc.
Gen works, ships of any kind, SFW, NSFW, dark topics/dead dove (provided it is tagged properly), written works in any language, having fun and being yourself.
What is NOT allowed?
Hate and bigotry of any kind — sexism, racism, transphobia, queerphobia, any other kinds of predjudice or being an indiscriminate asshole — all not allowed.
GenAI use — we're here to appreciate human* passion and creativity regardless of skill level
(*we do however welcome any friendly abhumans or xenos willing to take part in our event)
Character or ship bashing — have your fun and let others have theirs, we're here for good vibes.
Do I have to follow the prompts?
No, they are here for your inspiration and motivation, but you're welcome to follow your own path.
Are OCs/men/non-binary characters allowed?
The focus of the event is canon female characters of the game, and as such, your work for the event should center them. However, we do not limit who else can feature in your works! Yrliet and Marazhai adjusting to the warp travel together? Non-binary Rogue Trader courting Cassia? Theodora/Abelard doomed romance? All these concepts and similar ones have place here!
Are genderbends/trans headcanons allowed?
As per previous answer, your work for the event should center canon women of the game, but other than that go ahead! Jae just as smitten with transmasc Argenta? A comedy where Jocasta and Vigdis try to stop fem!Ulfar from reciting her sagas over the vox-system? Idira divining Heinrix' coming out as transfem? All allowed, go ham.
Where else can I find you?
The event will be run on tumblr. Use #RTWomenWeek to tag your post, mention this blog and we will reblog it. You can also add your work to the ao3 collection here. We will be monitoring the tag and the collection submissions for a week longer after the event ends to give you a little extra time as well.
What about this thing that you haven't mentioned/considered?
Please feel free to reach out to us with any further questions, the askbox is open.

Hello there, fellow Rogue Traders! The mods of this blog belatedly realised that we did not provide a plain text version of our prompts or any image descriptions for accessibility purposes. We're doing it now, in this post, and linking it in our main rules post. Please, share this with anyone who needs it. We'll try to do better in the future.

Hello there, fellow Rogue Traders!
Rogue Trader Women Week is over, and what a beautiful week it was! Thank you all so much — whether you created something, shared your thoughts or simply liked and commented. We couldn't have done it without you ❤️
We wanted to run an appreciation week for the women of this game because we love these characters and want to see more of them, because we wanted to share this appreciation with the rest of fandom, and because we wanted to bring the like-minded fans together. It was very touching to see all the enthusiasm for the event and the love shown to the creators ❤️ We got to live our fandom dream for a week, and we hope you did too.
The ao3 collection will remain open for a week more, and we'll be checking our mentions and the #rtwomenweek tag for any late entries during that time as well. If we missed a post from you, please tag this account in replies and we'll get on it.
See you around,
Anya is live and ready to show you everything. Watch her strip, dance, and perform exclusive shows just for you. Interact in real-time and make your fantasies come true.

We are very excited to welcome you into the Rogue Trader Women Week! We've gotten some entries already and we will start reblogging them here shortly. Stay tuned!
Reminder that for us to see your work on tumblr you need to use #RTWomenWeek tag or @ this account in the post. We also have an ao3 collection open to new entries here.
Happy creating and don't forget to show some love to other fans ❤️
Some say that they can see the future, that it is clear to them in the currents of the Immaterium or in the God-Emperor's word, but even those devoid of such gifts can tell — Rogue Trader Women Week is coming.
Just one week left until RTWW!
Report, fellow Rogue Traders! Tell us of your ambitions and successes, of challenges you've encountered along the way! And if, in your humility or love of intrigue and surprise, you don't wish to — feel free to express respectful admiration to the stars of this week: Yrliet and Kibellah!
To those of us lost in the haze of day-to-day and those lost in the Warp, unsure of where and when they have emerged, we can offer only a little guidance — Rogue Trader Women Week is coming. Very soon.
Tomorrow is the start of RTWW!
Are you ready, fellow Rogue Traders? Are you excited? Do you wish to tell us of your excitement? We would love to hear from you.
And, as is tradition, feel free to show your love to any woman in the game who has not yet been celebrated.
