Hey Sweetheart 2026

[museaway]

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Hey, Sweetheart. This was our biggest year to-date, breaking record totals on both AO3 and on discord, where 80 people earned the legacy strawberry icon illustrated by yours truly.

In addition, we brought back the original Kirk/Spock version, the ship that launched the original event back in 2014, and received a delightful TOS fill. (The Trek version is still open, so if you are a K/S writer and you'd like to join in the fun, have at it. That series' next event isn't announced yet.)

What's coming up:

Next up is the discord-based, 6-in-1 be kind, rewind! which brings back six past ficwip events, all running simultaneously! We're going to be a little busy from now through the end of May. It's a complex event with seven rule sets (overall + specifics for the six -- I know), so running it in public would potentially be a headache.

And in April, Hyuge is hosting hanahaki4hanami, which has a hub on our server where you can earn this year's flower icon.
