Pride Month 2021 Masterlist

Posted by: purpleyin

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the event.

Now, it’s time for the masterlist. 🌈🎊

Fanfic

don’t threaten me with a good time by coldflasher - on Ao3 or tumblr - The Flash, Cisco Ramon, Barry Allen, Caitlin Snow, Kamilla Hwang, Killer Frost, Iris West-Allen, Leonard Snart (includes background ships)

Inspired by the Santiago Drunkenness Scale from Brooklyn-99. Team Flash are throwing a party to celebrate Kamilla and Cisco’s departure from Central City, and Kamilla wants to make sure they go out with a bang. But with great power comes great responsibility, and sometimes responsibility means making sure your friend doesn’t break the sound barrier by doing the worm at Mach 2.

DCTVGen Ladies of DCTV Month

2021-06-12T12:53:19Z

Posted by: purpleyin

While our Pride Month event is still running, we have also started planning our next event too! Ladies of DCTV is coming back – this time with a 💚Month of Love💚 which is a little different from the events we’ve done before.

The Month of Love will be running August 1^st to 31^st 2021, with sign-ups starting now to give people plenty of time to create for it. The aim is to have at least 1 new post/fanwork each day focused on the ladies of DCTV so that we have a wonderful month full of appreciating them all.

Anyone who wants to take part can claim a day in August when they commit to posting something centered on any of the ladies of DCTV. Any kind of fanwork is welcomed, including meta, recs lists, or picspam. It doesn’t have to be long - it could be a 100-word drabble, a few icons, or a character appreciation post - basically, anything gen-focused to show your love for the character(s) you pick.

The sign-up form is here.

Each date currently has 2 claim slots available to allow 2 people to create for the day, but if possible please try to claim a date that hasn’t had its Claim slot 1 taken because we’d really like to get something sorted out for every day of the month if we can. If both sets of Claim slots fill up for all the dates we’ll add more slots later on.

We also ask that you say what you are likely to create, and for which characters, when you put your details into a Claim slot. This is so that people can see the mix of what’s already promised - in case they want to create for characters not yet being shown any love - but you can still change your mind later on about what you want to make.

More details behind the cut. Please spread the word. 💗 Also, thank you to the fab @ginger-canary for creating the event banner.

DCTVGen Pride Month 2021

2021-05-30T18:36:11Z

Posted by: purpleyin

🌈 DCTVGen Pride Month is happening soon! 🌈

Start of event: June 1st 2021
End of event: June 30th 2021

This event is for gen content of DCTV characters of any orientation or identity that fits under the umbrella of LGBTQ+. They can be in canon or it can be headcanons! Anything is welcome.

We’re also happy to have people rec or submit links to suitable fanworks that already exist - they don’t have to be newly created for the event so long as they’re not ones we’ve featured before in past years.

For more details about our definition of gen and what fandoms are included, please check out our FAQ.

For prompts you can use, see our list from last year’s event here or from 2019 here.

Posting guidelines:

1. Be mindful of potentially triggery content and add appropriate warnings

2. Keep any NSFW content (e.g. violence or dark themes) behind a cut

3. Mention in notes if there is a background non-gen relationship

To submit a post here you'll need to join this community. Posts submitted will go into the moderation queue and a mod will look it over, usually within a day, and approve the post.

If you post to AO3, we’d love for you to add your fanwork to our collection ‘DCTVGen_PrideMonth’ which you can find here.
We also have a tumblr blog in case anyone prefers to participate on there.

If you're excited for the event, please spread the word.

DCTVGen Valentine's 2021 -Treats!

2021-01-03T20:27:00Z

Posted by: purpleyin

The 2021 Gen Valentine’s Exchange is in progress, but we also wanted to do a post about Treats for the exchange. 💝

Treats are basically just optional additional gifts - anyone who feels like it can make an extra Valentine's treat for a request that inspires them. If you want to make one, there's no sign-up and no one else knows about it unless you say anything (or complete a fanwork for it), so if you don't manage to finish it in time there's no harm done.

Prompts for the exchange can be viewed here on AO3 or in this google sheet for ease of reading. There are no minimum requirements on word count etc for any treats, but the treat needs to be:

gen-focused & only including background relationships if the requester mentions they are fine with them (we can contact requesters for clarification if needed).
one of the fanwork types specified in the request.
one of the ratings specified in the request.
avoiding the requester's DNW's/Do Not Want's.

If you create a treat, you can post it to the collection and will also need to gift the work to the requester’s AO3 username. Any treats submitted before February 14th 2021 will remain unrevealed until the rest of the gifts go live then. Any questions about making treats, do let us know.

If you’re a writer or an artist who creates for The Flash, Arrow or Smallville and you might be interested, please contact us and we can give you more info.

DCTVGen Valentine's 2021

2020-11-22T15:48:47Z

Posted by: purpleyin

Hello DCTV fans. We have a great new event to announce. For the upcoming Gen Valentine’s 2021, we’re hosting a gen-focused DCTV fanworks exchange!

The exchange is being run using AO3′s gift exchange system, so you’ll need an AO3 account to participate. Anyone who needs an AO3 invite, let us know via email (to, dctvgen at gmail dot com) and we’ll get you one.

The event is open to fanfic, fanart (digital or handdrawn), fanvids, gifsets, and fanmixes. For more details on word minimums etc required for gifts, see the link above that will take you to the exchange’s profile on AO3.

The tagset we’re using for fandoms and fanworks types is here - if anyone has any suggestions for other DCTV fandoms that already exist on AO3 to add to it, just say. There’s quite a few smaller/older DCTV fandoms eligible for this exchange, so we’d be very grateful for any reblogs/sharing to spread the word about the exchange to get a good mix of fandoms represented with the sign-ups.

Sign-up is running for 2 weeks - closing at the end of December 4th 2020 - with assignment emails to go out a few days after that. Fanworks will be due by February 7th 2021, to go live on February 14th 2021 - that gives you just over 2 months after assignments are sent out to create for the event.

All requests/prompts for the exchange will be public, so that there’s the option for people to make extra gifts (without the minimum requirements) as ‘treats’ for a lower pressure way to take part in the event. We’re also happy to hear from anyone who might like to be contacted about any pinch hits required in case there are any drop-out’s.

You can find further information about the exchange on the linked profile above, and also on the sign-up form that explains what’s needed for requests (what you’d like created for you) and offers (what you’re happy to create for someone else).

To sign-up, go here.

This is our first time running an exchange, and using the AO3 exchange system too, so we hope we’ve explained everything well enough, but if not, we want to know. If you have any questions at all about how the exchange will work, do ask either here or email us.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the event!

And now...it’s time for the masterlist. 🌈🎊

Fanfic

Pride by gingercanary - on Ao3 - Some of the season one legends go see a pride parade. The twist? gays on boats.

is coming out less scary than a zombie apocalypse? by TerraYoung - on tumblr or Ao3 - Liv decides to stop letting fear hold her back and comes out to Ravi. After all, she faced down a zombie apocalypse – this should be nothing in comparison.

Paying It Forward by stultiloquent - on tumblr or Ao3 - Bruce had given Dick a roof over his head, but Dick hadn't had a family since the circus - until he met her. Dick shifted a little where he was sprawled on the carpet so he could meet Donna's gaze. "Have you ever felt like... you aren't who you thought you were?"

no return and no deposit by pettigrace - on tumblr or Ao3 - For this year's Pride Month, Supergirl has a special idea.

Trapped in the Closet by Redrikki - on tumblr or Ao3 - Kate was never afraid to come out to her father, but she is now. Episode tag to the season 1 finale.

A Rogues’ Coming Out by Hidden_In_Smoak - on tumblr or Ao3 - Barry Allen was finally comfortable in his own skin. He was the Flash, he was doing well as a CSI, he was out to Joe and Iris. The last thing he expected was to get beat up for being bi.Then again, he didn't expect the Rogues to save, comfort, and support him either. And he certainly didn't expect the emotional discussion that followed.

DCTV Gen Valentine's 2020 - Day 5 - Other fanworks

2020-02-17T00:12:31Z

Posted by: purpleyin

DCTVGen Valentine’s Day 5 is here! Today we celebrate other fanworks.

Art, fic and vids may be the staples of fandom but there are plenty of other types of fanworks out there that are rarer but equally cherished.

Meta can raise important questions and let us know there’s other people out there thinking about these things too. Headcanons are out there enhancing enjoyment of canon, or just going in a completely different direction, because (it’s fun). Fanmixes can provide atmosphere and inspiration for yet more fanworks. Fancrafts may make us squee in delight and both those and fan created merchandise lets us show off our fannish love to the world.

Whatever the type of fanwork, if it doesn’t fit under one of the last 4 days, today is the day to show it off.

Send us recs of your favourite other types of fanwork (you can @ dctvgen us on the post, submit links/posts, send an ask or message @ dctvgenevents).
Do you have a favourite creator for other types of fanworks? We’d love it if you’d send us a creator rec post.
Or you can send us an anon ask for your favourite fanworks and/or creators if you’re a little shy of doing so publicly.
Kudos, likes, bookmarking and reblogs are great too if you’re not feeling wordy.
And if you are feeling wordy and up to the challenge, have a search for a fanwork with only a few comments/notes and leave a nice comment or reblog with comments in the tags for it to make someone’s day 💗
...Another way to contribute to fandom if you feel like it is get involved with the Fanlore.org wiki and help document fandom history, either old events or by adding info about fandom in its current state.
