Thank you all so much for participating—whether as a writer, a cheerleader, an idea-contributor, or feedback-giver! <3

I was happy to see so many people commenting/kudosing widely. As the month winds down, I wanted to give one last appeal for feedback on the works written for this event, especially those that might not have many comments yet. Here is a link to the collection.

For your reference, you can view all works with less than 1 comment right here!

Thank you again to everyone who took part!

Stories are now revealed! Sorry for the delay—I got held up at a meeting, and then there seemed to be a bit of an issue on AO3 with works staying unrevealed. I hope it gave someone some extra time to get their fic in or make last-minute edits. Nevertheless, we have a total of 45 fics for Round Two as of this post, which is an exciting showing!

Despite them all being for tiny ships, I hope that we can still take a look at the fics in the collection and show them some love. You can browse the collection from the Fandoms page (though this won't include fandoms that don't have canonical tags yet). Alternatively, you can look at the Tags page and check out the tropes, kinks, etc. that are relevant to your interests.

At the bottom of the post is a round-up of the fics in the collection as of this post, which might be helpful as there are fics whose fandoms are not canonized yet. You CAN still add fics to the collection, up until the end of the week. I'm planning to close it once Sunday is over in all timezones.

You may want to redate your fic so that it shows up at the top of the fandom or character tag.

Happy browsing!

Han enjoys the repose from running from the Empire's spies, Leia locks herself up in her room and schemes, and Luke - well, Luke receives sparring lessons from the Thane himself.

  • Transformers (Bay Movies)
    • Roadbuster/Sam Witwicky: Turadh. Roadbuster didn't hesitate to take on the black monstrosity that attacked them seemingly out of nowhere. Sam helped him as much as possible. Roadbuster hadn't trained him and decked him out with weapons and little gadgets for nothing. He shot the thing every time it seemed to gain an edge. While the specialized bullets weren't as effective as they were on normal Cybertronians, they did enough damage to distract it long enough for Roadbuster to get into a better position again. If only the big mech had been the only thing they needed to deal with.
  • トロピカル〜ジュ! プリキュア | Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure

  • Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS
    • Izayoi Aki/Zaizen AoiAn Angel's Witch. As one of LINK VRAINS' top Charisma Duelists, Aoi had to keep a close eye on her competition. It was through her constant research that she quickly noticed a new rising star. An avatar with the stage name "Black Rose Witch". A duelist that relied solely on the power of synchro summoning. Many wrote her off just on that fact alone, but not Aoi.
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V  
    • Hiiragi Yuzu/Sakaki Yuya/Sawatari Shingo/YugoOf Dragons, Princesses and Songs. Shingo was absolutely going to be a hero. Kill the dragons (well, do his best), save the princesses (who weren't really princesses, but it didn't matter), and be the topic of all the songs (that he himself would sing). It was a perfect plan. What could go wrong?
  • Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Anime & Manga)  
    • Kaiba Seto/Ootaki Shuzo | Adrian Randolph Crump IIIon escapist fantasies. He was supposed to be dead and given that he was dead broke, he may as well have been but instead, Ootaki Shuzo picks up the pieces of his former life and starts anew, serving as an accountant to an aquarium and for the first time in years, he is happy with his job.

Launch the Ship is a low-pressure multifandom challenge to write the first fic for a ship. It was strongly inspired by the wonderful [community profile] bethefirst (which challenges people to write the first fic for a fandom) and is similarly meant to provide a friendly little community during what can often be a lonely voyage.

All you need to do is choose a ship that has zero fics, and complete a fic for it before the deadline. Everything else is optional—you don't even need a Dreamwidth account. So let's set sail, shall we?


Important Dates:
Sign-ups open: August 15th
Deadline: October 15th, 23:55 UTC (Countdown)
Fic Reveals: October 16th, 00:01 UTC

This is an optional, casual place to share and read thoughts/ideas about zero-fic ships. The basic premise is that it's like a chatty prompt-meme. Importantly, each fandom (no matter how big or small) has its own top-level comment. Prompts and promos are posted in reply to them. Read the section "How does the prompts and promos post work?" in the FAQs for more information.

This post will remain open for future rounds until noted otherwise.
