Thank you everyone! 💙❄️

What a week. We’ve received over a hundred and fifty submissions, including over fifty pieces of art and over eighty pieces of writing, which was absolutely beyond our wildest expectations! We have been absolutely amazed by the incredible response this event has received and want to thank you all sincerely for your help in making this a success.

Don’t worry if you haven’t finished your submissions yet! You still have time to submit your work late. We will continue to reblog submission until at least Sunday 14th February.

If you’re struggling with a longer piece of writing, for example, you can always break it into more manageable pieces. We’ll share the first chapter happily.

In the mean time, we’d really love it now if you could show some of your appreciation to the creators!

You can do this by sharing some of the wonderful art, graphics, fics, and playlists made via reblog. You can also taking the time to read and comment on pieces of writing that interest you from our AO3 collection. Please share the love if you can! Femslash is often neglected in fandom and ATLA is no exception in this regard, and a single response often means a lot. Support and feedback makes the world go round! :)

Again, thank you all so much for all of your wonderful contributions. You’ve all made this week such a success. We literally could not have done it without your input – you should all feel proud, and we’re grateful to you all.

Thank you!

– Sasha & Scarlet

Hi! Are you doing atla femslash week again for 2022?

hey!

I currently have no plans to as I got pretty burned out with this fandom and my interests have shifted (it happens!). I haven't been in touch with Scarlet either.

if you'd be interested in taking over or doing your own take on it, I'd encourage you to go ahead and do so. running a themed week is work but it's not impossible, even running it solo. If you want any help/advice with that, feel free to DM me @sashacore

Thank you for modding this event and thanks to all the amazing creators! Do you still accept late submissions? (I'm keeping a track of events in ATLA fandom and I still have Winter-Atla-Femslash on on going Late Submissions list so I wanted to clarify. Thanks in advance!)

Hi there! We’ve now closed submissions, so we won’t be reblogging any more content (with the exception of anything we might have missed during the event). Thanks for hanging out! It’s been a really great time with lots and lots of fantastic creation - we hope to see everyone again sometime in the future :)

I said I would be late, but I think I’m still in time for this last submission for @winter-atla-femslash week !

The last prompt was “Dancing” or “Fantasy AU” or “Free day” : I wanted at first to draw Kyalin dancing, and I then remembered the wonderful fanfiction “A Dance with pride” by @songbookff for Kyalin Week 2020 (go on A3O and check their really good work!). And then, I wanted to draw Lin in a suit like in their fanfiction. So here are Kya and Lin, dressed for the ball and facing paparazzis :) I hope it fits a little to what they had in mind when they wrote this story !

I intended to draw the entrance of City Hall in the background, but I’ve spent a looot of time on this one and I’m afraid to be late for my submission, so maybe I’ll update it later.

I used this tutorial to try new techniques of coloring (no line, more textures, shadows…). That wasn’t easy, but I learned some tricks for the faces (there is still looots to improve !) !

[Image ID : Digital drawing of two ladies from the TV show : Legend of Korra. They stand in the middle of the image, facing the reader. On the left is Lin Beifong, dressed in a charcoal suit, with dark emerald labels and a matching thin tie on a white shirt. Her right hand is in her pocket and her left one lays on Kya’s waist. She has a pale complexion, light green eyes and two scars on her right cheek. Her hairs are grey. She looks quite serious. Kya stands on the right. She has a tanned skin and is smiling. Her light grey hair are tied with blue laces. She’s wearing robes on blue tones. Her left hand lays on her hip, her right one on Lin’s shoulder. The background is light brown with a grey texture like freckles. There is a black frame an a title around the drawing]

Ty Lee is wearing a pink dress with dark pink pants and boots, and a dark pink shoulder piece. her hair is done in a braided ponytail as usual. she is sitting with her legs stretched out in front of her, one slightly bent. she is looking expectantly at Mai with a blush and a tentative smile. behind them is a blue sky. the second and third pictures are close ups of Mai and Ty Lee respectively. end I.D.]

ok so I told myself that I was gonna participate in the winter atla femslash week but I was too lazy so I chose my favorite prompt (day 2: baking/domesticity/angst) and drew this :3

[Image Description: A digital drawing of Kyoshi and Rangi from the Kyoshi Novels. They are in a kitchen. Kyoshi is walking towards Rangi holding a bowl with batter that almost spills while looking worried about the batter spilling. She is wearing an olive colored crewneck sweatshirt and a fan necklace. Rangi is facing her trying not to laugh by covering her mouth with her fist. She is wearing a black t-shirt and a fire nation symbol necklace. End Image Description.]

In hindsight, maybe hanging her impulsive stress purchase in her shared apartment without telling her roommate and girlfriend about it in advance was a stupid idea.

It may have been even more stupid to forget that she hung it up and then go to the store.

“ - Will we meet again sometime? - Sure we will. - Promise? - Promise. Now go, and don’t look back. ”

Its the last day of @winter-atla-femslash​ week and it has been fun. The pairing is Rangshi and the prompt is Fantasy AU. Me and my inconsistent brain decided to combine a hanfu and a kimono to make Rangi’s dress so that’s what she’s wearing. Rangi is apparently a creature called a wyrm but then I made it fiery. I’d imagine Rangi being a volcano spirit that’s kind of like Haku from Spirited away. The quote is also from Spirited away.

[ID: It is a digital illustration of a woman and a dragon. The woman has her hand reaching out towards the dragon’s nose. She is dressed in a green hanfu and has dark brown hair reaching down her back.  The dragon is red with a b=dark underbelly and fiery mane. Its eyes are red. The background is various shades of red and pink. Tghe artists signature is under the dragon’s face in white. It’s a M connected to two Es. The first bend of the M has a line to look like an A.

the coriander cafe

Professor Izumi has lunch with her quirky new colleague. 🥙 A Kya/Izumi (LoK) fic written for @winter-atla-femslash week! Originally for the college AU prompt, but finished late / 2.5k / ao3

“Come in,” Izumi called. As she did, she reached over to lift the hefty pile of new books off the spare chair and deposit them on the desk instead.

When the door of her office swung open and Kya peered in, Izumi wasn’t sure what to feel, and it showed on her face. Call me Kya :), the new professor had signed off on their last email this morning. 

“I—Kya, hello,” she said, smiling curtly. “Please sit. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.”  

Kya was irreverent. Izumi knew that much because she had postponed their official first meeting last minute, and had the gall to send her a smiley-faced email about it. ‘Duty calls’, she’d written, duty being that her elderly mother needed urgent company to the market downtown because they had a rare shipment of her favourite fruit. 

Duty, Izumi would have thought, called her to meet with her new colleague—technically her superior, no less—and one who had a schedule tighter than the smile she wore now.

Kya read the tension easily, barely a second into the room; maybe she had expected it. She uncrossed her arms as she sat, but rather than steeling, her polite smile went up into her eyes, and Izumi was unexpectedly disarmed.

“Why are you here?”

Mai could say that she simply wanted to check on an old friend, that she felt guilty for Azula’s fate, that she genuinely missed her, that something in her needed to see Azula again no matter how painful the memories.

She responds only, “I don’t know.”

Behold, at least part of the reason I’ve been incommunicado for the past week! My very late submission for @winter-atla-femslash. This was supposed to be a short little oneshot, but you know how that goes…

A huge thanks again to my beta @felicity-kitten for helping me beat this into something presentable.

Dancing - Korrasami

Last day of @winter-atla-femslash week. This work is available here on AO3. 

Prompt: Dancing or Fantasy AU or Free Day
Weeks have passed since Korra’s ship was wrecked. Good thing she has a mermaid to keep her company. Pirate/Mermaid AU CW: Alcohol

The sea was at war with the sky, and Korra was trapped on the battlefield. Waves buffeted the sides of her wooden dinghy. She struggled just to sit upright amidst the storm, nevermind trying to paddle. Lightning flickered and she caught a brief glimpse of the distant island.

A voice came from below. Another flash of light revealed the pale, wet face of a girl in the water. The girl said something, eyes wide and panicked. She pointed behind the dinghy. Korra turned to see a rearing tower of seawater. The wave seemed to hover for a moment, relishing the attack, before slamming into the boat.

No, really. If Jin hadn’t asked Suki to watch her stupid pet goldfish, Zhao, while she was on vacation, Suki would not be in the ER right now, waiting to get an x-ray of her wrist.
