Thank you so much for the incredible response to our interest check! We were overwhelmed with over 200 responses and we’re delighted to announce that the CA:TWS 10-year Anniversary Event will be going ahead from March 26th to April 4th 2024. 

Based on the response to our interest check, this will be an open event, meaning we will allow any content related to CA:TWS. We will provide daily (thematic) prompts to help inspire you, the use of which are optional. We will be releasing the prompt lists two weeks beforehand so that participants will be able to prepare creations for posting on the appropriate day. 

Prompts can be interpreted however you wish, though we request that they are focused on CA:TWS (whether canon or canon divergent). Creations permitted will include – but are not limited to – fanfic, gifsets, podfics, fanart, moodboard, playlists, fic rec lists, crafts, etc.  

Full rules and FAQs will be published shortly.

SCHEDULE

March 13: Prompt lists published

March 26: Start of event

CA:TWS 10th Anniversary Event - Interest check!!

We ( @sparkagrace and I) have been thinking for a while about how to celebrate the upcoming 10th anniversary of CA:TWS’s release, and thought we’d see if people would be up for participating in an event around this anniversary.

Please fill out our interest check form here:

Let us know your thoughts!! The event would be open to all types of creations (fanfic, fanart, moodboards, gifsets, fic rec lists, playlists etc.) and low-pressure.

Please don’t use collections to track your reading on AO3!

Someone is going through all my zimbits fics and adding them to a collection called “completed stories I’ve read.” Well, they’re trying to, but I’m denying all their requests.

Yes, ao3 has fixed the thing that made it possible for collection owners to anonymize your fics without your permission, so why do I not want all my fics in these random collections?

Well, imagine if 10% of the people who read my fics tracked their reading via a collection like this. Unlike bookmarks, all the collections a fic is in are listed directly on the fic! The fic I just got a request for has 12000 hits and 1300 kudos. If even 10% of the people who left kudos added it to a collection, every person who reads it would have to scroll through a list of 130 collections to get to the fic!

Please track your reading using bookmarks, not collections!

Bookmarks just add to a number on the fic itself, but if you click that number you’ll see the many ways people use them to track their reading. Some people use tags like “to read,” “read,” “complete,” etc. Other people use bookmark collections, which unlike regular collections don’t get listed on the fic - plus, they don’t require the author’s permission, so you can actually have an accurate list instead of just a list of the fics that got approved!

Whoever you are (I know their ao3 name but since they have no works of their own I have no way to contact them), I am very flattered that you like my stuff enough to go through and read all of it, and I very much appreciate it. But please stop using collections just to track your reading.

Bringing this back because people seemed to stop doing this for a bit but I’ve gotten two more of these requests in the past week.

If nothing else, it’s not an accurate record of fics you’ve read if some of the authors are rejecting your requests! Authors can’t prevent you from bookmarking or making bookmark collections!

BOOKMARK COLLECTIONS ARE FREE AND EASY TO MAKE PLEASE USE THEM

Before the Windows Author: @buckybarnesdeservestobehappy (AO3) Artist: @elkleggs (AO3)

Fic Rating: NC-17 (Explicit) Art Rating: PG-13

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, brief mentions of time-period specific homophobia

Relationship: James “Bucky” Barnes/Steve Rogers Characters: James “Bucky” Barnes, Steve Rogers, Alpine Word count: 7285 Summary: Retired army veteran Bucky Barnes spends his days watching his neighbors through his rear windows as a way to relieve his boredom and ignore the pain in his left shoulder and mangled arm. Upstairs neighbor Steve Rogers doesn’t seem to know who he is, but he latches onto Bucky with questions and wide-eyed admiration that makes Bucky extremely uncomfortable. It’s not long before Bucky realizes Steve is more than just a punk kid and that he wants more from his friendship with Bucky.

The events of The Winter Soldier trial told in a series of tweets. Inspired by two amazing mixed-media fics that play with the possibility of what might happen if Bucky was put on trial after the events of CATWS:

- United States v. Barnes by fallingvoices and radialarch

- cross this river to the other side by defcontwo

This is more of a re-mix than actual fic illustration, though all credit for the idea and the tweets goes to the respective authors. Stylewise I was going for a mix between actual pictures and courtroom sketches. References used courtesy of Getty Images. And thanks to johanirae for being my art-beta.

Reblogging myself to add that this post has over 50k notes by now which is beyond anything I’ve ever expexted. The response to this art has just been absolutely overwhelmingly amazing, thank you guys so much ;___;
