Kataang Week 2026
Special thanks to tumblr user @1v31182m5 for allowing us to use this artwork!
What is Kataang Week?
Kataang Week is when we, as a corner of the fandom, celebrate the ship Kataang on Tumblr! The prompts for Kataang Week 2026 were submitted by fans last month. We then went through four rounds of voting over the last few weeks to end up with these prompts, selected by Kataangers.
Cool, when is it?
It begins on the final Monday of July and runs through the following Monday. This year Kataang Week 2026 starts on Monday, July 27th and ends on Monday, August 3rd.
Who are the mods?
@airbender-dacyon AKA Mod Dan: A Kataang fanfic writer who prefers fluff, but also loves some drama and angst. Mod Dan started writing Kataang stories in 2013 and has helped organize Kataang Week since 2016.
@cabbageslost AKA Mod Cabby: She first watched AtLA with her teens following Covid, and has been rooting for Kataang ever since.
Kataang Week is also being hosted by @dailykataang on Twitter again this year!
How do I participate?
The most common ways to participate are by creating art or writing a fic and posting it online. Some people try and create something for every day while others only fill one or two prompts.
As always, we want to reassure you that it’s perfectly okay not to do every prompt! We just hope to have lovely pieces to share on each day.
But I can’t draw or write!
That’s totally fine - there are more ways to participate! You can sing a song, create a graphic, write a poem - just about anything really. You can also show your support by reblogging, liking, and commenting on other people’s contributions.
What are the prompts?
The following will be the running order for Kataang Week 2026:
Soulmates - Monday, July 27th
Domestic Life - Tuesday, July 28th
Jealousy - Wednesday, July 29th
Growing Together - Thursday, July 30th
Arranged Marriage - Friday, July 31st
Cloudbabies - Saturday, August 1st
Adult Intimacy - Sunday, August 2nd
Free Day* - Monday, August 3rd
*As always, there is a Free Day at the end of the week. You can use this day to post anything you’d like! It can be a prompt that didn’t receive enough votes or something you’ve been wanting to work on, anything goes!
How should I tag my work?
The easiest way for us to find your work so we can reblog it to this blog is by using the tag “kataang week”. Using “kataang” and “kataangtag” also help. You must tag one of the three in your first five tags otherwise it doesn’t appear in the search. It is also helpful to tag us directly with @kataang-week.
Sometimes even properly tagged posts may not appear when we search the tags, so if you do not see your content reblogged, please let us know.
Once we’ve reblogged it to this blog we add our own tags (a prompt tag and a user tag) for easy organization. This means we can find all the work for one prompt or all the work from one user in one easy click (this also means that if you have changed your username since participating last year you need to let us know so we can update your tag!)
Can I post my stuff other places online too?
Of course you can! However, we won’t be able to reblog anything that isn’t a Tumblr post.
Kataang Week is also being hosted by @dailykataang on Twitter again this year. Check in over there for some additional creations by talented creators.
If you're on Discord, the @kataang-discord has said they'd be also discussing this event, and having a "WIP Wednesday" where you'd be able to share peeks of what you've got going on and get some feedback.
For those of you who will be posting your works on AO3, feel free to add your fic to our AO3 collection.
Anything else to keep in mind?
If you are unable to complete a prompt in time, please do not fret. You can alert this blog by mentioning it in your post (ex. @kataang-week) or messaging one of the mods and your content will still be shared even if it is a week (or a month - or sometimes more!) late.
Please create your own original pieces. We do not accept AI-made fanworks.
We only accept new works created for the prompts of this year's Kataang Week, not works that are retroactively said to be created for the event. However, you may create something that fills a prompt for an ongoing work such as a new chapter in a multi-chapter fic or an ongoing series. See this ask for more information.
If your work contains images, please consider adding alt text to make your work accessible. Adding alt text is NOT a requirement to participate in the event. See this post for more information on images and alt text.
We also like to post WIP for Kataang Week and encourage everyone else to do so as well - we reblog it here for motivation!
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, don’t hesitate to send an ask. Don’t forget to reblog this as well to help spread the word!
Good luck, Kataangers, and happy content creating! 😊
- The Mods
Officially one month away from the start of our favorite week of the year. Can't wait to see what everyone's been working on!
