Johnica Week 2025

Hi everyone and welcome to the 6th Johnica Week! This year, 2025, is a special one because we're here to appreciate John and Veronica on their 50th wedding anniversary!

As for now, 2025 might be the last Johnica Week I will organise (unless there's still demand, I might organise a celebration day on their anniversary but not a whole multi-days event) but don't worry, I will keep running this blog to share Johnica fics and fanarts, and the masterlist will always stay open if you want your creations to be added! 

When is the event? 📆

This year the event starts on Thursday 16th January and ends on Sunday 19th January, with Saturday 18th being the 50th Wedding Anniversary!

Where? 🔎

Here on Tumblr, on AO3 and also on Instagram for visual artists!

💚 On tumblr use the tags #JohnicaWeek2025 and/or #Johnica Week 2025

📚 > Here is the AO3 COLLECTION where to post your fics! <

💚 Tag @eileen-crys and/or @johnica-weeks in your works so I can read, see and share them!

I will make posts here on this sideblog for anonymous fics and for all of you who prefer me to post it instead of yourself, with the rightful credits, links and tags.

📚 At the end of the event I’ll make a Tumblr masterlist with all the works!

2020 Masterlist | 2021 Masterlist | 2022 Masterlist | 2023 Masterlist | 2024 Masterlist

The Theme 👑

The 50th wedding anniversary is obviously a huge milestone, usually called “golden anniversary”, and GOLD is the main theme of this celebration! 

Gold is malleable and flexible, like the compromises made between a long-term married pair in order to make it to this milestone year.

Then, it is resilient, impervious to heat and acid, and acts as a reflection of the eternal endurance of a long-term union.

Last but not least, its rarity and luxurious nature is an ideal reflection of the precious nature of a long-term marriage.

Gold is not just a symbol of money or luxury, but represents a strong and deep relationship, showing how much the two value each other beyond just material things. Keeping this in mind, this might help you as an underlying prompt or starting point for the theme of your creation for this event! 

Some of the daily prompts are based on Gold: memories, special objects, themes, songs, plus a classic romantic fic trope each day. As always, you don't have to follow the prompts, feel free to let your imagination fly! 

Day 1 - 16 January (Thu)

Violets, symbols of modesty, faithfulness, and affection.

First meeting in an Alternative Universe

Song: Papa don't preach (Madonna)

Money doesn't make happiness

Day 2 - 17 January (Fri)

A precious photo, always kept close to the heart. 

Hanahaki disease

Song: My heart will go on (Céline Dion)

Facing a scary challenge together

Day 3 - 18 January (Sat) (Anniversary!)

Gold rings, reminder of a special day and a special union. 

Spoiling each other rotten 💅🏻

Song: Gold (Spandau Ballet)

Celebrating the 50th anniversary 💕

Day 4 - 19 January (Sun) 

Golden discs, a milestone for Queen but also for John and Veronica

Hurt & Comfort / Whump

Song: Die with a Smile (Bruno Mars & Lady Gaga)

Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing cracks and broken objects with gold.

You can post your entries here on Tumblr, on AO3 and on Instagram, using the hashtag #JohnicaWeek2024 and tagging me.

If you prefer, you can post anonymously on AO3, HERE is an easy guide on how to do it!

If you’re on Tumblr and want to post a fic anonymously please send me a DM and I’ll post it on @johnica-weeks on your behalf, crediting it as Anonymous author! I will also post fics from Anon authors posted on AO3 here on tumblr on Anon's behalf.

🔥 TAG your work APPROPRIATELY! This includes all potential triggers and smut. On Tumblr you can include the appropriate warnings at the top of the fic followed by a "keep reading” cut (you can add it in desktop version AND on mobile by writing :readmore: in a new line!) Also be sure to tag the rating of your fic, the genre and the themes of your story, enough to help the readers!

✨ If you’re still unsure, HERE’s a useful guide on how to tag your works!

As a reader... 📖

If you’re a fan of John, of Johnica or simply like to read fanfictions, positive interactions are always much welcomed! Support the authors by leaving likes, a comment (even a little one!) and sharing their work. On AO3 you don’t need an account to leave Kudos and Comments! (Unless the author has willingly prevented guests to comment). To leave a comment on AO3 you simply have to choose a temporary mail and set your email to get a notification for an eventual reply.

If a work is not tagged appropriately, you can reach out to me via DM and I’ll warn the author. If anything makes you uncomfortable, simply close the work! Do not engage by leaving nasty comments or messaging the author!

🔥 IMPORTANT!!! 🔥

During the event, if any of you/your entries gets hateful comments or messages towards you, your entries, the Johnica ship, the event or other creators, please DELETE the hateful comment/message right away with no interactions and let me know! This is no place for haters, just for creativity and love. If you see a hateful comment on other works do not engage, instead leave a positive comment to the same work and support the author! 💜

Realistic or not, remember that fanfictions are, by definition, FICTIONAL and not meant to be a documentary! There are lots of things we don’t know about John and Veronica’s private lives and don’t want to go in too deeply, gossip or speculate about them, so feel free to fly with your fantasy and let your creativity flow! 😊💖 Most of all… have fun, respect each other and support each other’s works!

Who Started Fandom? A Brief History

The fandom subcultures of today are so intertwined with the internet that it is difficult to imagine what they’d be like without them. It was interesting, then, for me to discover that the beginnings of fandom can be traced all the way back to the 19th century. The earliest groups of fans to create their own subcultures were the Janeites, fans of Sherlock Holmes, and railway enthusiasts. The Janeites, a self-given name, started out as meetings of young men who liked the novels of Jane Austen. According to Virginia Heffernan, author of Wired article The Pride and Prejudice of Online Fan Culture, they were similar to male fans of pop artists like Cher or Britney Spears than the modern male fans of science fiction or fantasy media. They evolved from book clubs to a fully-fledged subculture with its own jargon and eccentricities. The Janeites are also credited with the earliest examples of behavior that we associated with online fandoms. Heffernan lists six characteristics of fandom that originated with them. These include speaking of characters as real people, being secretive outside of fan spaces, and merging reality with fiction through hobbies like cosplay and fanfiction. What’s most surprising about this is how closely the Janeites resembled online fandoms when the internet would not be invented for decades. It speaks a lot to the power of community that the Janeites are still around today, still obsessing over the same books as their predecessors over 100 years ago.

There’s an old internet folk tale that claims the first fandom was created by housewives who wanted to bond over their shared love of Star Trek. While that’s not necessarily the case, these Trekkies were still incredibly influential in the world of fandom. Their fanzines were the ancestors of forums and fanfiction websites, where people could share their stories, art, and opinions with each other. When the original Star Trek series was set to be cancelled, these fans used this established network to organize a successful letter campaign for one more season. The creators and showrunners were even aware of these networks and encouraged the enthusiasm of the fans. It was their dedication to their favorite TV show that kept it alive and eventually turned it into the massive media franchise that we know today. A great resource for more information on the first Star Trek fanzines is Joan Marie Verba’s Boldly Writing: A Trekker Fan and Zine History, 1967-1987 (2003). As a Trekkie involved in the zine community, Verba established a history of the practice verified by herself and other members of the community. In doing so, she immortalized the names of the women who were involved in this part of fandom history.

The advent of the internet changed fandom in some ways, but in many ways, it stayed the same. The greatest gift of the internet to fandom was accessibility, which allowed more people than ever to connect to a larger community and even discover new fandoms to join. In the 21st century, the relevance of fan subcultures cannot be understated. Many fandoms, particularly of TV shows, have used their collective power to make demands of the creators to varying levels of success. The Trekkies managed this through letter campaigns in the 1960s, but the digital age allowed for new methods of demonstrating fan support. Fans of Firefly, a show that was cancelled before the first and only season fully aired, successfully campaigned for a theatrical movie release. Similarly, the Veronica Mars film was funded through a Kickstarter campaign by fans. Even normal fannish activities like fanart, edits, and fanvids can inadvertently become advertisements for the media they are based on.

Some fans graduate from the subculture into creators of their own and have major influences on their favorite media. When Ed Brubaker, a comic book writer and cartoonist, was hired by Marvel Comics, he took the opportunity to bring back Bucky Barnes, a character that had been killed off when he was a child. That character has now become one of the most consequential characters of a multi-billion-dollar movie franchise. I haven’t even touched on the power of music fandoms, in which fanbases like Directioners and Swifties stand as fascinating pop culture phenomenons. Fan subcultures have evolved greatly and in unpredictable ways since the humble beginnings of book clubs and fanzines.
