Some year, I'll stop forgetting to update this blog! Rather than copy/paste everything here and try to wrangle the formatting, the info for our 2024 events is on carrd

Currently running:
  • The 5k, our annual AU event. Write a complete AU in no more than 5,000 words! A public event that runs via social media. Posts August 1-31
  • Dark & Cozy: a discord exclusive. Put a dark spin on a cozy trope. Runs through the end of July
  • To Spite You, Personally: a discord exclusive running this October & November
  • The All-Ships Ship Week 2024. A new public event that kicks off this October in the wilds of social media! (But you can get started now)

Upcoming:
  • Hey, Sweetheart 2025
  • Level Up 2025
  • The 5k 2025
  • Fairytale Bang 2025

I'm also thrilled to say that I overhauled the discord server, and it is once again open to join. No more applications! Since the reopening, we've welcomed almost 200 people. Detailed server info and a link to our community rules are available on carrd (as well as a link to request the invite).

Shore Leave! A vacation-themed Kirk/Spock reverse bang

complete event info | event tumblr | event bsky | AO3 collection

🌴 🌴 🌴


To celebrate the T'hy'la Bang passing its 10th anniversary, we're switching things up with a reverse bang! Artists will illustrate Kirk and Spock on shore leave. We’ll anonymously show that art to authors who will let us know which pieces inspire them! Through some space magic, we’ll pair authors and artists into teams. Authors will write a 5-10k fic based on their assigned art, and teams will post together at the end of the event.

As we've done since the T'hy'la launched, all Trek universes and all variations of Kirk/Spock are welcome.

This event is affiliated with ficwip but runs under its own server and social media. This year's round will be modded by me and Ahria!

Sign-ups for all roles open on Monday, February 26th! The form will be available at https://tinyurl.com/shoreleavebang
