Can you feel the love tonight? Put your fins and flippers together for a week seven of Be a Goldfish: A Multifandom Multimedia Microbang! We draw ever-nearer to the conclusion of the event, but it's not quitting time yet. Stay with us! We're still having fun, making friends, and finding fresh new ways to express our fannish feelings. That famous February V-Day is upon us, and whether you're keen on romance, friendship, or a bit of both, we've got not one but two prompts for you:

WEEK SEVEN: Valentine’s, Galentine’s, & Palentine’s One love! Valentine’s Day is more than a romantic holiday: it’s the perfect occasion to celebrate community, connection, and friendship. Thus, two extra-special prompts to celebrate: • Create a work as a gift for a friend, mutual, or partner. AND/OR: • Make fannish Valentines to exchange with fandom friends.

It's also a great week to try a bonus prompt. Our suggestion?

Epic Crossover Event Make friends and influence people: collaborate with another participant to create a work.

Feel free to brainstorm, discuss, make friends, or let us know what you're cooking up in the comments here or on tumblr. We're excited to see what you create. Stay curious!

Presently we are fewer than 10 works away from a milestone 100: will you help us get there before the end of January? Create, create, create! Here's a prompt to keep you swimming:

WEEK FOUR: An Oldie But a Goodie Halfway there, living on a prayer! Harken back and create a work for your first-ever fandom. What piece of media was the first to spark that special something? Share with the class: perhaps a gifset to demonstrate the appeal of a childhood classic, an essay which extrapolates on the meta you’ve been considering for years, or a craft to connect with your inner fannish child.

TGIF! Drumroll, please: welcome to the final week of the first-ever Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang. We’ve had an incredible round, full of fun, friendship, and fanworks, and participants have collectively created over one hundred works! Let’s keep the spark alive in these last few days with two more prompts. Give one a whirl, try both, or mix it up and blend them. Write a fic, make art, or try something totally new! Check out our FAQ for inspiration.

How do people outside the Ted Lasso gang perceive the goings-on at AFC Richmond? Create with that external perspective in mind.

AND/OR:

Use the lyrics from a favourite song as inspiration for a work.

Put your fins together for week seven of Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang! We've had another week of fic, fun, fandom, and goldfish. How about another prompt to keep things fresh? Actually, how about two? Give one a whirl, try both, or mix it up and blend them!

Focus on a minor character. You know, a character who doesn’t get much love, or somebody who shows up for only an episode or two, or a background character. Who are they? What are they like? Why do you feel connected to them? Get nitty-gritty.

AND/OR:

Epistolary. Create a work in the medium of correspondence; a fic written in letters or emails, for example, or a manipulated text chain. Social media AUs work too.

Collaborate with another creative. Utilize our channel for locating betas and find somebody who wants to work together. A round-robin fic might be fun, but don’t be dissuaded from collaborating in other mediums, too; perhaps a collectively-created web weave or playlist. Buddy system!

Week four and we're feeling just fine! We've had another great week of Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang. How about a prompt to keep things interesting?

Get out of your comfort zone. Explore the opposite of your usual jam; fluff writers, try angst. Colourful gifmakers, give moody, black and white, or subdued panels a whirl. Go against the grain.

theurbanspaceboi

TGIF! Welcome to week three of Be A Goldfish: A Ted Lasso Multimedia Microbang. We’ve had a great couple weeks thus far. Let’s keep that energy with another prompt:
