#dcaspec2021

If you are a DC Creator who identifies on the a-spectrum, we would like to feature you and your work in a Highlight!

Highlights will be posted in the lead-up to and during DC Aspec Week, to boost creators in the DC Fandom who identify as asexual, aromantic, demisexual and/or gray-asexual. The work highlighted does not need to involve a-spectrum themes. You do not need to be submitting a work to DC Aspec Week to be highlighted as an aspec creator.

DC Aspec Week is a fandom event to celebrate creators and characters who identify on the asexual and/or aromantic spectrums. Submissions are welcome from October 24th to October 30th 2021, during Asexual Awareness Week.

Pastelaine is an aspiring writer, animator and digital artist, who has loved DC comics since they were 7 years old. They mostly draw damirae (Damian Wayne/Rachel Roth) content. Support your aspec creators!

Q slid into the DC fandom to pump out a boatload of Sladick fics, and then somehow found themselves embroiled in general Dick whump, smut, batfam bonding, and far too many rare pairs to count. Delving deep into a character’s psyche is where Q gets their fun, and often that means their works break their favs into a million pieces before putting them back together again (if they’re feeling magnanimous). Writing has always been Q’s favorite pastime, one they’re hoping to one day make a living out of. And if that living involves causing their characters some pain then, well, everything’s coming up roses. They organise the Cancel Me, Daddy! zine, Dick Rare Pair Challenge, Slade Rare Pair Challenge, Bruce Rare Pair Challenge, DC Make It Poly Week, Romin Week, RasBat Week, DickKory Week, and DCU Rarepair Exchange. Support your aspec creators!

Stevie enjoys disseminating and highlighting what it means to exist, to react, and to be intimate through a demisexual lens. Their preferred sandbox is definitely the DC fandom, with a wide array of characters and "what ifs" to explore, though usually she inflicts her thoughts and passions on the same two people, sorry.

Through fic, he enjoys exploring themes such as honesty, trust, and emotional hurt/comfort, often through the lense of Jaydick, along other members of the batfam. When not creating, he likes admiring fanworks others have created, watching horror movies, and eating lemon ice. Support your aspec creators!

Meaninglessblah is enjoying their third year in the DC Fandom, and is learning to stretch their muscles outside their little corner of the Batfandom. They started out writing JayTim-centric fics, and now enjoy a broad range of rarepairs. Their fics are usually explicit or contain explicit themes, though they also greatly enjoy exploring dark verses, alternate universes and societies with complex power structures. They are heavily involved in DC events, currently organising the Cancel Me, Daddy! zine, DCU Rarepair Exchange, DC Dark Week, DC Dream Daddy Week, DC Make It Poly Week, the Slade Rare Pair Challenge, the Tim Rare Pair Challenge, and this DC Aspec Week. Support your aspec creators!
