Amazing news!!!!

Tumblr finally listened, we have our chatting back!!!! We're so excited! This had me so worried, I really couldn't see how we were supposed to go forward with an account that literally couldn't send or receive messages. Not just for the zine but in general to interact with members of the community, or if there was an issue for a member who needed help with something. But I'm so happy to say that we got our ability to send and receive messages back! So without waiting another moment, we'll get the week started. It's so late compared to when it's supposed to be, but better late than never I suppose

Can't wait to have you for this week!

ShikaSaku Week Hanami 2023

🦌 🌸 ShikaSaku lovers, shippers and supporters, the team here at ShikaSaku Week is absolutely delighted to welcome you to the 10th edition of our bi-annual celebration of our favourite Brains & Brawn™ couple!

We can't believe it's been 10 editions of ShikaSaku Week already!! What the hell, when did we get this old? Thank you so much to everyone who has been participating over the years. We have no intention of stopping and it is such a pleasure to come back to this year after year, week after week. Welcome back once more to our little shipping event ♥

It’s with great pleasure that we present ShikaSaku Week Hanami 2023! 🌸 🦌

— The Rules

• you can post anywhere! Tumblr, AO3, FF.net, DA, Instagram, Twitter, Pillowfort, go wild! • if you’re posting outside of tumblr, please send us a link to the fanwork so we can add it to the masterpost • tag it with #shikasakuweek or @shikasaku-week to help us find it on tumblr • the only requirement is for ShikaSaku to be the main pairing in your fanwork. It can be a fic, a fanart, a fanvid, a gifset, an edit, it’s up to you! • if you have any questions, feel free to message us or refer back to our FAQ page

When: April 28th - May 5th, 2023 (the dates were changed, check out our last announcement for an explanation)

Please, no character bashing. We’re here to create content for our ship, not ruin other people’s day.

Your works are to be inspired by the sentence prompt and the overall theme.

— The Prompts theme: together at last // what a relief, you and I

DAY ONE (don't) hug me, stay away (come closer) AO3 tag: Non-Sexual Intimacy or Touch-Starved Character(s)

DAY TWO birth and rebirth (we're here, still alive) AO3 tag: Post-4th Shinobi War or Kid Fic

DAY THREE trauma passed down onto the next generation like second-hand socks, always mismatched AO3 tag: PTSD or Recovery

DAY FOUR frozen lakes, heartcicles AO3 tag: Character Study or Curtain Fic

DAY FIVE if gods are laughing, the joke is not evident AO3 tag: Angst or Misunderstandings

DAY SIX (turn the light on) night’s almost here AO3 tag: Literal Sleeping Together or Hurt/Comfort

DAY SEVEN firmament/finality AO3 tag: Aged-Up Character(s) or Time-Travel

DAY EIGHT (bonus day) free day or remix challenge

If you’re interested in the remix challenge and didn’t participate in it last edition, here’s a quick explanation: basically, you browse through the masterposts of the previous weeks and pick a story or art you like a lot. Then you write/draw an interpretation of that fanwork! Summarize in your head what the core idea of the fanwork you picked is and use that to make your own, based on that same premise. We hope you’ll enjoy yourselves and that you’ll rediscover works from previous years!

We finally got un-flagged, our messages are back! We can get started on the week at last. The dates have been changed to accomodate for that, so we'll start April 28th! If you can't make it because of the short notice, it's ok. We know this is far from ideal, so we'll be accepting submissions for two weeks after the end of this ShikaSaku week if you can only participate later. Thank you for sticking with us!

Also, if you participated in the past or will participate this year, send us a PM if you'd like to be a part of the commemorative charity zine we'll make to celebrate 10 years of ShikaSaku week!

DAY ONE (don't) hug me, stay away (come closer) AO3 tag: Non-Sexual Intimacy or Touch-Starved Character(s)

DAY TWO birth and rebirth (we're here, still alive) AO3 tag: Post-4th Shinobi War or Kid Fic

DAY THREE trauma passed down onto the next generation like second-hand socks, always mismatched AO3 tag: PTSD or Recovery

DAY FOUR frozen lakes, heartcicles AO3 tag: Character Study or Curtain Fic

DAY FIVE if gods are laughing, the joke is not evident AO3 tag: Angst or Misunderstandings

DAY SIX (turn the light on) night’s almost here AO3 tag: Literal Sleeping Together or Hurt/Comfort

DAY SEVEN firmament/finality AO3 tag: Aged-Up Character(s) or Time-Travel

DAY EIGHT (bonus day) free day or remix challenge

If you’re interested in the remix challenge and didn’t participate in it last edition, here’s a quick explanation: basically, you browse through the masterposts of the previous weeks and pick a story or art you like a lot. Then you write/draw an interpretation of that fanwork! Summarize in your head what the core idea of the fanwork you picked is and use that to make your own, based on that same premise. We hope you’ll enjoy yourselves and that you’ll rediscover works from previous years!

We finally got un-flagged, our messages are back! We can get started on the week at last. The dates have been changed to accomodate for that, so we'll start April 28th! If you can't make it because of the short notice, it's ok. We know this is far from ideal, so we'll be accepting submissions for two weeks after the end of this ShikaSaku week if you can only participate later. Thank you for sticking with us!

Also, if you participated in the past or will participate this year, send us a PM if you'd like to be a part of the commemorative charity zine we'll make to celebrate 10 years of ShikaSaku week!

— The Rules

• you can post anywhere! Tumblr, AO3, FF.net, DA, Instagram, Twitter, Pillowfort, go wild! • if you’re posting outside of tumblr, please send us a link to the fanwork so we can add it to the masterpost • tag it with #shikasakuweek or @shikasaku-week to help us find it on tumblr • the only requirement is for ShikaSaku to be the main pairing in your fanwork. It can be a fic, a fanart, a fanvid, a gifset, an edit, it’s up to you! • if you have any questions, feel free to message us or refer back to our FAQ page

When: April 28th - May 5th, 2023 (the dates were changed, check out our last announcement for an explanation)

Please, no character bashing. We’re here to create content for our ship, not ruin other people’s day.
