It will run in early 2026, alongside Trigun Stargaze.Q: Is NSFW and/or Dead Dove allowed?
Overall yes, but please read our guidelines!Q: Which characters, canons, and ships are allowed?
All Trigun characters, canons and ships are welcome. The only requirement is for all ships to be properly tagged for easy muting.Q: Who is modding this event?
This event is organized by @beesinspades (BlueSky/Tumblr)
IMPORTANT TAGGING REMINDERS (to use alongside the regular tag, #AceTrigunWeek)NSFW content: you're free to approach any of the prompts in a NSFW way. Use BlueSky's filters and warn about the contents of your post in the caption.Sensitive/Dead Dove content: clear warning in your post and AO3 tags. Appropriate filters must be activated.Ships: all ships must be tagged, with their complete ship name (vashwood, millymeryl, etc) for easier muting.
Positions/dynamics tags (wv, kv, etc) are required for NSFW submissions. (But don't forget to use the general ship name as well!) They are not required for SFW submissions.It is your responsibility to mute / activate filters of what you do not wish to see.
Posts that do not respect these guidelines won't be reshared.ABOUT SENSITIVE CONTENT
Explicit depictions of noncon as well as sexual content involving children are not allowed. However, non-explicit depictions of difficult topics (ex: a piece exploring the aftermath of corrective rape) are allowed.These limits are mainly for the mod's comfort, and not a judgment of anyone's character.ON CENSORSHIP
All ships are welcome, and everyone is invited to participate regardless of the fictional content they share and/or create. We trust that our participants know how to use the mute and block buttons as they see fit, and no harassment will be tolerated.ACE SPECTRUM?
The entire spectrum of asexuality is of course welcome. Do not hesitate to include, for example, demi and greyace headcanons!ACE =/= ARO
Please do not confuse aro headcanons with ace headcanons. Aromantic-only headcanons will be considered out of topic since ace =/= aro.That said, aroace headcanons and platonic relationships are more than welcome; submissions do not need to be about shipping, just about asexuality.FITTING THE THEME
Your submissions must explore asexuality and/or include ace headcanons in any shape or form, and to any degree.
As long as your creation fits the theme and prompt, was made with an ace headcanon in mind, and was made specifically for the event, it will be accepted. For writing, stating the specific words is not mandatory, but your headcanon(s) must be at the very least implied in some way. This is of course subjective, so we won’t be too strict, but please try to stay in the week’s themes.Many of the prompts are inherently subvertive simply by virtue of applying an ace headcanon to at least one of the characters involved, so don't worry about fitting the general theme too hard.ABOUT SUBMISSIONS
Submissions must be your own, but you’re allowed to draw fanart of existing works.You may reshare old creations, as long as they fit the theme and the day's prompt. (You may not, however, add old fics to the AO3 collection.)Use of GenAI in any shape or form is prohibited, and you will be straight up blocked.LATE?
Late submissions will be reshared up to two weeks after the last day of the event.AO3 COLLECTION
Writers (and artists!), there is an AO3 collection for your submissions that will open the day before the event starts.TAG US!
Don’t forget to tag your skeets and posts with #AceTrigunWeek so that your creations may be easily searchable and shared on the event’s account. Do not hesitate to DM us if after 24 hours, you haven't been reshared yet.

― Elyse SpringerDAY 4
Non-Sexual Intimacy
An Ace Up Their PantsQuote: “I thought having a name for myself, asexual, would be the answer. It isn’t, though. I don’t just want to know myself. I want other people to know me, understand me, believe me. So that I can actually be myself.”
― Karen Wilfrid, Just LizzieDAY 5
