Thanks to @interfaceleader for submitting some prompts this year and asking if we’d be running the event.

Turks. The Investigation Sector of the General Affairs Department. The Department of Administrative Research. Whatever you call them, they know who you are, and what you’re doing there. You don’t want to be on their bad side, and unless they’re working for you, you don’t want them following you, not that you’d notice them unless they wanted you to. They’re an interesting bunch, full of secrets, their own and others.

Below we have the list of prompts. Feel free to be as creative with those as you want to, and take your time working on your entries, but please don’t forget to post them on the right date if you can. (But remember, late is better than never!) Don’t like the prompts, or need MOAR PROMPTS? Make up your own! Or pull from a previous year!

Mar 24 - Day 1. Contingency Plan / "We blew past Plan B a while ago..."

Mar 25 - Day 2. Dual Action / "Double the Turks, double the fun"

Mar 26 - Day 3. Exfiltration / "Getting in isn't the problem, it's getting out."

Mar 27- Day 4. Midnight Cheer / "When restless souls roam"

Mar 28 - Day 5. Wardrobe Malfunction / “Hey that’s my shirt!” “I’m not changing, you change!” “Where’s my clothes?” “I’m not wearing that!”

Mar 29 - Day 6. Training Day / “How do I do this again?” “Did you read the instructions?” “We’ll just wing it.” “I lied on my resume.”

Mar 30 - Day 7. Break Room / Free Day (What goes on in the break room in the Turks part of the ShinRa Tower? Or take this as a free day for your own prompt.)

Please remember to include the week’s tag (ffviiturkweek) within the first 5 tags or else we might be unable to find your work! We will NOT accept/reblog anything containing Character/Ship Hate, so avoid including those in your entries. Also don’t repost anyone else’s work as your own! You are welcome to reblog other’s posts, but credit where credit is due. (Please message Asylos directly on tumblr or Mirintala on Discord if your post missed being reblogged.)

You can submit your works on AO3 to the event collection at https://archiveofourown.org/collections/TurkWeek

And if you have any questions, don’t be afraid of sending an ask, or messaging the mod (link in the menu sidebar).

There's others! I honestly love every female character in FF7, but didn't want to make this too FF7 centric XD

Tifa all the way!! Though I’ll have to add Aerith to the mix! There are too many to name.

I could have added so many more, especially from games (Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, Lune, Maelle, Rinoa, Selphie, Fran, Ashe, Yuna, Rikku, Lulu, Aloy…the list goes on) but I wanted to vary it up a bit.
