Welcome to the FMA rareship event!

FMA rareship weekend: February 23-24-25

FMA rareship week: date to be announced

January 10 - I will be posting a form, where you submit prompts in the following categories: fluff, angst, nsfw, Alternate universe, and other category. My aim is to have at least two prompts per day, in a variety of genres, so everyone can find something they'd like.

The form will be open for a week. If a prompt gets submitted more than once, it's more likely to make it into the prompt list.

I will be posting the prompt list around January 20-23, so people can have a whole month to prepare!

Once the event ends, I will post a feedback form, so I can make this event better in the future.

Rules:

Be kind and respectful to the other participants. If you don't like a ship, just scroll down or block the ship's tag.

I won't give a fixed definition of what a rareship is or how many fanworks it needs to be one; my only limit is that please don't write the most popular ships for this event. Currently these are the most popular romantic ships in the Fullmetal Alchemist - All Media Types tag on AO3:

Riza Hawkeye/Roy Mustang

Edward Elric/Roy Mustang

Edward Elric/Winry Rockbell

All kinds of fanworks are accepted. Fanfiction, fanart, crocheting, singing, dancing, podfic, headcanons, sculpture, anything goes.

Ships from any version of FMA are accepted. It can be the 2003 version, brotherhood version, the manga, games, the live action adaptations, they are all accepted.

AI generated fanworks are NOT accepted.

Rare platonic relationships are accepted, just as much as romantic relationships.

FMA Character x Original Character and Fma Character x Reader fics are not allowed.

Crossover ships are allowed. You think Edward Elric would be a perfect martch for your blorbo from another show? Go for it!

Be creative. You can create fanworks for an existing ship, or create new ones.

Tag your posts!

if you post your fic to ao3, you can add your fic to the event's collection (I will make the collection soon and I will link it here)

The participants' works will be reblogged to this blog.

I will be following the #fma rareship weekend 2024 and #fmarareshipweekend2024 tags, but feel free to tag this blog to make sure your post gets reblogged.

You can use as many prompts from the prompt list as you want. You can combine prompts too.

You can use the prompts after the event ended, but those works probably won't get reblogged.

Have fun!

Tagging

When you post you works for the event on tumblr, tagging is required.

Things you need to tag for: the event, the prompt you used, the ship, nsfw content, any content warnings you think your work contains.

For example:

#fma rareship weekend 2024, #prompt: Mafia AU, #trishaizumi, #trisha x izumi, #trisha elric x izumi curtis, #murder cw #unhealthy relationship cw, #nsfw

If anything feels unclear, or you have questions, feel free to ask them!
