THANK YOU!
The Kathryn Janeway Needs a Hug Fest is officially over. And what an epic 12 days or so it has been!!!! Our wonderful Captain has received hugs from all directions and from so many, many loving people!
I’ve been floored by the response to this fest – the huge number of entries and the huge heap of positivity flowing around – I hope everyone who has participated feels like they’ve received a hug right back. <3
Thank you to everyone who wrote or drew her a hug and thank you too to everyone who read/enjoyed the beautiful, positive love sent Kathryn’s way!
And remember – if you want to write/draw Kathryn a hug you are still most welcome. The AO3 collection, which will remain open indefinitely, is here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/KathrynJanewayNeedsAHug – please also use the tag ‘Kathryn Janeway needs a hug’.
And for fanart, if you’re only posting to Tumblr, please be sure to use the tag ‘#Kathryn Janeway needs a hug’.
Without further ado, here are all the hugs (so far!) in all their glory – make sure you check them all out and share the love far and wide. (In alphabetical order by title.)
(Please message me if I’ve got any of your handles wrong, people – I know that some handles are not the same across platforms.)

Just four dates left!!! But I’ll do double-ups once these are filled. ;)
Kathryn Janeway Needs a Hug – May 20–31, 2020
It has been brought to my attention that there are very, very few stories with the tag “Kathryn Janeway needs a hug” on AO3.
For her birthday this year, and to help her recover from the Caught in the Darkness angst event, which precedes this one, let’s give her some hugs and rack up those tags!
1. Pick a date from the event period: Wednesday, May 20 to Sunday, May 31.
2. Message this blog with your preferred date and I will reply with confirmation.
3. Write a fic in which at least somewhere along the line, our lovely captain gets a hug (bonus points if she gets some other loving too – come on, it’s her birthday and she’s just been through all that angst! ;)).
4. Any pairings, relationships, friendships, ratings, etc.
5. Cross-overs with other Trek shows welcome – just no non-Trek fandoms.
6. Post your present for Kathryn on your chosen date, tagging your Tumblr post with #kathryn Janeway needs a hug.
7. If posting to AO3, please add to the “Kathryn Janeway Needs A Hug” collection, and tag your story “Kathryn Janeway needs a hug”.
8. Message this blog with the details of where your fanwork is posted.
9. Hit me up with any questions and follow this blog for updates.
