Hello CS 2019 fandom. We’re back.
Player Appreciation Week 2025 will be held on March 24-30. The theme for this years’ prompts is Alternate Universes! Here they are below:
Text version and guidelines under the cut:
Day 1, March 24: Magic
Day 2, March 25: Soulmates
Day 3, March 26: Parallel Universe
Day 4, March 27: Sci-Fi
Day 5, March 28: Apocalyptic
Day 6, March 29: Royalty
Day 7, March 30: Time Travel
Alternate 1: Domestic
Alternate 2: Canon Divergence
Alternate 3: Role Swap
The alternative prompts can be used in place of any day. Fill as many or as few prompts as you’d like or have time for. The prompts themselves can be used as loosely or literally as you’d like. Prompts can be filled in any number of ways, including but not limited to: Fic, Art, Edits, Memes, Poetry, Analysis/Essay, Video, etc. If it's fannish and you created it, it counts!
If you cannot post your work on the day that it is meant for, you are welcome to post it any time between March 24-30 and we will have a grace period for one week after the event ends if anyone needs a little extra time to submit. As far as actual posting goes, create a post on your own tumblr blog and@playerappreciationweek , as well as tag #playerappreciationweek2025. If you have a fic, we encourage you to post it to Ao3 if possible, we’ll be making a collection for works there. You can then make a tumblr post with the link to your work. We will reblog the posts for everyone to find.
Leading up to the event, if you would like to send a short teaser for your work, please submit it as an ask to this blog with the prompt and day it is for. Once it gets closer to posting week, we’lll post it as an advertisement to help us all get hyped!
Rules:
1. This event is Player-centric, so anything created should feature Player as a prominent character in some way.
2. The event is Gen only, that is, no romantic relationships. Background relationships of Player’s or Carmen’s parents are fine, but the focus of your work should be on Player and his platonic/familial relationships. Please note that this means soulmate relationships for day 2’s prompt should be platonic or ambiguous, not romantic.
3. Have your work properly tagged both here on Tumblr and on Ao3. If there are more mature themes, hide your work under the cut on tumblr if applicable, and tag for any known trigger warnings/darker themes, such as Major Character Death, suicide ideation, or panic attacks.
4. No AI please.
We won’t reblog works that don’t fit these criteria.
We also have a discord server available for brainstorming and beta help! It’s open all year if you enjoy brainstorming CS 2019 ideas in general. Please hop over into @rueitae DMs to ask for an invitation. The server follows the same guidelines as the event.
If you have any clarifying questions, please don’t hesitate to send us an ask.
Looking forward to creating with you all!
