You are now welcome to start working on your creations! Please remember that while you are welcome to work on/finish them early, you may not post until the appropriate day.Â
These gifsets were made by the lovely @coalitiongirl. Thank you for your time and dedication - big hugs!Â
If you are interested in participating in the event at all, please read the text below the cut, which contains more information.
Like previous SQWs, we will be making a masterlist of entries at the beginning of the week and updating it as the week progresses (generally at the end of the night). The official tag to track is #swanqueenweek, so if you would like to see things as they are posted (as we queue the entries to be reblogged), please track that tag.
Participation will also run similarly to past events, and you can read the FAQ for some of the general questions (or send us an ask/IM). Now that the prompts have been posted, you may begin working on your fanworks as soon as youâd like. While you can make them as early as today, please do not post until the appropriate day in your timezone (i.e., donât post for day 1 until July 9th in your timezone). If you want/need to work on your creations early because you wonât be able to post them yourself, or you want them housed on the SQW blog, feel free to submit them. You can do this at any time, and we will hold on to your creation until it is time to post.
If you are interested in or planning to create some form of fanwork for the 9th SQW, please note the following guidelines on how to participate.
Anyone is eligible to participate in SQW. You donât need to have declared participation or registered in any way. You do not need to be on tumblr, and if you post off-site, please just drop a link in the submission box (or send a fanmail message).
This blog goes by EST, so no posts will be reblogged until midnight EST of each day.
If you post your creation to your blog to be reblogged here, please tag it with âswanqueenweekâ in the first five tags. (Weâve seen posts that say the first five tag rule is no longer applicable, however we havenât verified this, so to be safe please still use the main #swanqueenweek tag in the first five.)
We will make periodic announcements when the queue is full/empty so that you have an idea of if your post was seen, but you can always submit a link to the submission box to make sure we see it (if weâve already queued your post Iâll just ignore the submission), or send us an ask/IM checking on if yours is queued. We will respond as soon as possible to let you know.
You do not have to participate in all seven days, you can pick and choose the prompts you like/are inspired by, one for each of the eight, or multiple creations for each day. Go crazy!
There are no minimums/maximums for participation.
You may make late creations and post them any time after the day of the prompt has passed (e.g., post a Day 1 creation on day 3, or a day 4 creation three days after the event has ended, etc.). We will be reblogging late submissions as late as one week after the event is done.
Creations can be stand-alone, or they can be connected, either by content or by post (e.g., you can make it a multi-chapter fic with each chapter being a prompt, or you can make a post that just collates all content).
There is no content restriction, but please tag your submissions with any necessary warnings/ratings/etc. to keep this a healthy environment for all!
This time, our prompts are pretty general, but as always feel free to interpret the prompt however you see fit.
You are welcome to collaborate with others. This event isnât strictly for collaboration the way the Swan Queen Big Bang was/Supernova will be, but you are more than welcome to buddy up with someone else if youâd like.
Creations must be made specifically for this event. You may not add on to a pre-posted fic/art/etc. to fit it to the prompt. However, if there is a project youâve been working on and it has not been posted prior to July 9th, you may use that work.
There is an AO3 collection for all Swan Queen Week creations and one specifically for the 9th SQW is being made. When you post, please feel free to add yours to this collection, which is linked in the sidebar of the main blog.
If you would like to participate, but donât want to make a fanwork or donât know how, there are plenty of other things you can do to be a part of the 9th bi-annual SQW. Below are a few suggestions:
Betaing: If you are interested in volunteering to be a beta between now and the end of the event, please let me know and I will add you to this resource list. When you send me a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what you will/wonât beta, and an estimated turn-around time.
Consultants: If you are interested in helping others either learn a new skill, or possibly serve as a sounding board for ideas, let me know and I will add you to this resource list. When you send me a message (ask/IM/submit) please give a little bit of info about what kinds of stuff you can help with (e.g., photoshop, music suggestions, video editing, etc.).
Creating Tutorials: SQW is obviously for celebrating our favorite ladies, but it can also be an awesome catalyst to learn a new skill or pick up some new tips. If youâre feeling uninspired by the prompts but still want to participate, tutorials can be a really helpful thing for those wanting to get their toes wet.
Pimping: It seems a bit obvious, but people need to know the event is happening to be able to participate! SWEN is an ever-growing family, and our newbies need to know this is going on. Pimping out the event to other sites or on your own blog will help spread the word and let all those new to SWEN about SQW.
Excitement Posts: Are you just so excited for SQW you canât stand it?! I donât blame you, because our shippers definitely know how to celebrate. So, fanperson it out in a post!
Further Prompting: Maybe you have a plot bunny but no time to write it. Or you see a screencap that is just perfect, but donât like making graphics. Send them in, and for those creators that are just a bit stuck, maybe your specific prompt will get their juices flowing. Please also feel free to send in suggestions for types of creations people could make that maybe are less obvious (e.g., fake facebook threads, fake trailers, poetry, etc.).
Just as a reminder, SQW is meant to be a fun event to flood our dashboards with Swan Queen, but it can also be a great opportunity to put yourself out there and try something new. If you donât know how to make something, or are nervous to post, I hope you feel comfortable enough to give it a shot. (Participating in SQW is a great way to pick up some lovely SWEN followers, hint hint!)
As always, if you have any questions or comments, you can always contact us. Have fun planning your creations, and we canât wait to see them!

Emma sat outside the hospital room. A cup of coffee, its grey steam floating upward, rested in her hands. She stared down at the brown liquid, patiently waiting to hear any news. It had been a few hours since she was kicked out of the room when the doctors decided that they needed to take drastic measures.
She was trying to stay calm and not panic. She had given up pacing an hour ago. She glanced up and down the hallâeyes attempting to burn through the door and see on the other side.
She couldn't believe this is where she ended up. Months ago she would have never even considered this all being a possibility. But, as luck would have it, everything changed in her life.
Emma sighed to herself and leaned back in the chair and sat the coffee on the table next to the seat. She stretchedâher white tank top riding up and exposing creamy skin as she reached to the ceiling. She rested her hands behind her head as the memory from a few months back swam to the forefront of her mind.
Summary: Regina is drawn into Emma's life again following the illness and death of Hook. Then she keeps slipping farther and farther in.
The weather was just turning cold the day that Regina learned about the baby. Emmaâs baby. She had just gotten out the storage boxes with her sweaters, which she had carefully packed away the previous spring. When she had placed the sweaters in the boxes, Henry was still at home. Now he was off at college. She knew that this little tradition of changing out her out of season clothing was somewhat silly at this point, given the vast amount of space in her house. But this was what she always did, every spring and fall, and Archie always said that there was value in maintaining habits and rituals during periods of change in oneâs life.
She wondered if Henry would ever live with her again. She thought not. But maybe if he ended up trying to make it as a novelist â maybe heâd end up at least âcrashing with herâ for a while at some point.
As if conjured by her thoughts, the phone rang and Henryâs voice was on the other end when she answered it. He wanted to know if she had heard Emmaâs news. She hadnât, but she knew what it was before he put it into words. Emma was pregnant.
So this season these seasons havenât been SwenFriendly, but Swan Queen belongs to Swen!Â
Thereâs five (four, depending where you live) days left to vote for the date and to suggest the theme for the next Swan Queen Week.Â
We are very excited and we hope you are too! So donât forget to vote and suggest the theme youâd like to see featured if you havenât done it yet and spread the word! Â
