 Happy Rarepair Hell Weekend!! Please comment below with all of your lovely rarepair things - sorry for getting it up a day late, I've been feeling a bit under the weather.

We're doing it again! Rarepair Hell Weekend will run the weekend of February 18/19. 

Got a rarepair or a small fandom you love? This is the event for you! This is a celebration of rarepairs (which in this case is being stretched to the limits of its definition to include uncommonly explored gen relationships, characters who don't get many works, and small fandoms) and their fanworks!

This event is loosely modeled off of sdwolfpup's More Joy Day—which means that instead of contributing to an AO3 collection or using a certain tag on social media, you do what you like in a space of your choosing, and then come and comment and tell us about what you did! (Dreamwidth allows people who don't have accounts to leave anonymous comments, so you do not need to have a DW account to participate.)

For this event, you can do anything you want in celebration of your rarepair(s) of choice, including but not limited to:
  • leaving a comment on an existing work
  • compiling a rec list
  • creating a new fanwork (fic, art, vid, filk, etc) of your own
  • writing a ship manifesto
  • etc
Do whatever you like to drag us down into rarepair hell with you, and then come back and comment with what you did! 

"Small" or "rare" can mean whatever you think it means here; while I'm happy to provide you with guidelines if you're having trouble deciding if something counts, this event operates on the assumption that you probably have a better idea of what's rare in a given fannish circle than I do. If I see juggernaut pairings from huge fandoms, I may say something to you, but for the most part I'm just going to take your word for things.

I'll make a post on the evening of February 17 (because as well all know weekends start on Friday night!) for everyone to leave their comments on.

Not sure if what you're thinking of counts as a rarepair? You can find some more info on that below the cut!
