One Month to Polyship Week!
Tumblr media
Expanded Prompts: Day 1–2
April 16 & 17
Road Trip: Send your polycule on a journey! This could be a literal road trip — car snacks, squabbles over the aux cable, weird roadside attractions — or something more fantastic. "Road" trip in space? Sailing around the world? Four metamours on a quest to find their missing shared partner? Maybe you wanna draw the squad flying down the highway while crammed into a minivan! Go wherever the road (or the prompt) takes you!
Sedoretu: Maybe you're a long-time Ursula Le Guin fan, or maybe you just read some sedoretu fic or bemusedlybespectacled's primer and got inspired — either way, assign some moieties and see what happens. You can play it straight or mix it up: Maybe your characters are the "wrong" genders or moieties to form a sedoretu. Maybe your polycule has too many members to fit the pattern. Maybe they're a Morning couple looking for a set of lavender marriages with a nice Evening couple. Have fun with this classic framework!
5+1 Things: A classic fanfic trope that lends itself especially well to polyship shenanigans! 5 different dates + 1 group night in, perhaps. Or how about five times Character A got pranked + one time they pranked the rest of the polycule? This trope also pairs well with an Outsider POV — something like 5 times Character A saw their crush kissing someone + 1 time they got a kiss!
Visual Prompt — OT3 Pose Meme: Aren't mcnuggyy's poses just the cutest? Draw one or combine a few or tell us the story of how your polycule got into this position. Remember to tag @/mcnuggyy when you share your creations!
Huddling for Warmth: Another classic trope that's even better polyam style! Perhaps they've gotten trapped in an ice cave on a dangerous expedition. Or they could be getting cozy in a Canadian shack as a surprise blizzard rolls through. Or maybe there's just that one member of the polycule who always seems to be freezing. Whatever the case, bundle those blorbos up!
Second Chances: Get your heartstrings ready for tugging with this prompt! What happens when your partner's new partner is a familiar face? How does the squad support Character A when that person who broke their heart blows back into their life? Whether it's a breakup-makeup story, a surprise encounter with an old flame, or a missed connection that comes back around, this prompt is all about how your polyship navigates trying to start again.
Missing Scene / Epilogue: Sometimes canon just leaves the perfect amount of space for a story. Whether it's a moment of intimacy, a messy argument, or a hilarious and heartwarming get-together, this prompt asks the questions: What happened when the narrative wasn't looking? And what comes after happily ever after?
Visual Prompt — View from Above: Are they posing for pictures, or exhausted after a battle, or maybe out stargazing? It doesn't have to be this exact stock photo pose, just give us a bird's-eye view of the crew!
The ao3 collection is now open for submissions, and we'll start revealing the fics on April 16! We'll be watching the #PolyshipWeek23 hashtags, and you can also @ us when you post for reblogs and retweets. Remember that text prompts can be art prompts and visual prompts can be story prompts — whatever inspires you, we can't wait to see what you come up with!

#PolyShipWeek23 - Day 1: OT3 Pose Meme
@polyshipweek
Aymeric and Estinien getting Drakyr with a two-pronged smooch attach. Their strategy works perfectly. 💙
(”Oh, it’s getting late in the evening - it’ll probably be easier and faster for me to whip up a quick gpose. And I’ll even have a little reference! It’ll be fine.” That was the Devil talking. 🙃 I could’ve finagled with it more, but the kisses look decent enough and that’s what matters to me. Smoo!)

souls, blooming like flowers
by Rakhel
The day's been saved, as usual, but that's never the end of things, not on the Hellmouth, and not for (possible) soul mates.
Or;
In which everyone has messy emotions, soul marks only show up when everyone involved actually has a soul, Spike didn't bother to leave a forwarding address or even a note, and Willow just tried to kill everyone but somehow hanging out with her is still less awkward than being around Buffy and Giles right now.
[for polyship week 23, the day 4 prompt soulmates]
Words: 2315, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English
Series: Part 4 of polyship week 2023
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Categories: Multi
Characters: Buffy Summers, Rupert Giles, Spike (BtVS)
Relationships: Spike/Buffy Summers, Rupert Giles/Spike, Rupert Giles/Buffy Summers, Rupert Giles/Spike/Buffy
Additional Tags: One Shot, Not Beta Read, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Soulmate-Identifying Marks, everyone here is getting hugs on a pretty regular basis actually, what they all need is some damn therapy, that's specifically talking about the main trio but really applies to everyone, giles is technically aware that he's repressing except that he's also repressing that awareness, Polyshipweek23

A Political Nightmare
read it on the AO3 at https://ift.tt/kl5hnsE
by Rakhel
Cordelia isn't trying to play politics. Which is a good thing, because politically speaking it's a terrible idea.
Or;
In which Barrayar developed a social norm of fourway marriages sometime during the time of isolation, and yet incorporating Simon and Alys into Aral and Cordelia's existing galactic style marriage is apparently a much less straight forward suggestion than an unsuspecting Betan might think.
[for polyship week 2023, the day 1 prompt sedoretu]
Words: 2398, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English
Series: Part 1 of polyship week 2023

Is it best to post early or on the day of? Or does it not matter? Also, if I post something for polyship week here on tumblr but don't have the fic cleaned up and ready for AO3 very soon, will I still be able to add it to the collection later?Thanks for doing this, it has made me write a ship I never have before!
Yay, that's so exciting! 🥳
For tumblr (or twitter or wherever else you might be) posting the day of will be best. Timezones being what they are, the divisions will be a little fuzzy, but it really makes the week fun to have a flurry of works all appearing each day. If you wanna be extra helpful, you can tag what day and prompt you're posting for too, like: #polyshipweek23 day 1 #sedoretu
For AO3 on the other hand, feel free to post early; works are hidden for now, and we'll reveal them when the week arrives.
The collection will also remain open for a few weeks after the 22nd to give everyone time to get their creations added. (Your mods, for example, definitely wrote some day-of flashfic last year, haha.) 👍
