Welcome to the 2021 ATLA-verse Summer Festival Event!

This event is a summer festival-themed extravaganza hosted by the Kyalin Discord for the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom!

We invite folks from all ships, subsections, and "parts" of the ATLA-fandom (including Kyoshi novel fans, LOK fans, comics fans, and original ATLA fans) to join us in celebrating what the summer, and indeed the summer festivals, for the ATLA-verse might look like :)

This event goes for a week, from the start of Duanwu (June 14) to the Summer Solstice (June 21). Prompts were inspired by traditional fandom tropes, as well as events held in Southeast Asia during the summer (including, but not limited to, the Dragon Boat Festival/Duanwu, Tuen Ng Festival, Tết Đoan Ngọ, Tango no Sekku, Dano/Surit-nal, and Yukka Nu Hii). Inspiration was also drawn from the summer solstice celebration traditions of the Inuit, Iñupiat, Yupik, Chukchi peoples.

The prompts are:

June 14, Day 1: Camping | Reunion

June 15, Day 2: Wrestling | Trust

June 16, Day 3: Slow Dancing | Racing

June 17, Day 4: Family/Friends Gathering | Fireworks

June 18, Day 5: Accidental Marriage | Floating Lanterns

June 19, Day 6: Fake Relationship | Tradition (food, rituals, events, games, etc)

June 20, Day 7: Bed Sharing | Shooting Stars

June 21, BONUS DAY: Warmth | Spirits/Spiritual

You can participate in whatever days you want, and pick whichever one of the prompts inspires you (or neither, or both!). Fanart, fanfic, music, manipulations.... if you can make it, we want to see it!

You can tag your creations #2021atlasummerevent and fic-writers can add their fic to the 2021 ATLAverse Summer Festival Event collection on ao3.

We hope you join us, and we can't wait to see what you create!
