What is Polyshipping Day?

A monthly 24-hour celebration of OT3+es and positive portrayals of polyamory
in fandom. Give neglected polyships some love! Resolve love triangles “the
right way”. Portray massive poly cuddle piles of people who all love each
other. Platonic threesomes where all partners feel important and it’s not
trashy male gaze MFF “the girls just wanna please their man” crap. Weave
intricate polycules that span a team or a whole community. Show non-mutual
polyamory (A+B, B+C, but not A+C) and open relationships in a healthy,
non-adulterous light. Spread the <83!

This is open to all fandoms and to original works, and to any degree and
content rating you wish. Sexual, romantic, queerplatonic – any form of
polyamorous/polygamous relationship is welcome and loved here. Just keep it
positive, healthy, and consensual.

All of the content posted on Polyshipping Day gets queued up for reblogging
on the Polyshipping Day blog during the month, and added to tags by fandom
within the blog to help you find your favorite polyships any time.

How do I participate?

If you have no ideas for something to make, of course our prompts tag is always a
great resource. Additionally, for August’s Polyshipping Day the optional theme
is going to be “Decisions”. Whether
this involves decisions as grave as matters life and death, as mundane and
silly as who gets to be where in a cuddle pile, or something else entirely is
entirely up to you!

Whether you create something within the theme or not, we accept all forms of
media, including:

• Fanfiction
• Fanart
• Playlists/fanmixes
• AMVs
• Askbox games/mini-prompts
• Cosplay photos or videos
• Image/photo sets
• Spend the day taking requests or commissions
• Other things I’m sure we haven’t thought of!

And of course, original works and works not in English are more than welcome
too. It’s always exciting to see Polyshipping Day branch out further and
further!

Whatever you create, just put it in the #polyshipping day tag
(don’t worry, we track #polyshippingday too, just in case) or submit it
straight to the blog!

But I’m not a content creator or I don’t have much time.

No worries! There are plenty of ways you can participate, such as:

• Create fic or art recc lists
• Reblog polyshipping content, both new and old
• Set up your queue to reblog polyshipping content
• Share headcanons
• Fill out askbox games or create new ones
• Suggest blogs for the incredibly incomplete Polyshipping Directory
• Help get the word out!

The more the merrier should be the obvious theme here, so we’d love help getting
as many fandoms involved in Polyshipping Day as possible!

Any other rules I should know about?

We try to keep it simple, but there are a few:

• Content should be new – it doesn’t have to be something you made this month or specifically for Polyshipping Day, but it should be something that’s not appeared on the blog before.
• Please only post your own content, except, obviously, for reblogs.
• If you really want to share something and can’t find it on tumblr, try to get the creator’s permission first, and regardless, post it as a link to the     source. If the site in question has an official Tumblr posting button like     AO3 does, please use that.
• Please tag your not safe for work for the benefit of those scrolling through the tags (protip: use // after the tag if you’re worried about spambots)
• This blog is technically PG-13, so anything that is obviously pornographic or very gory should be behind a read more if we’re going to reblog it.
• If you’re posting up more than three things to the tag, especially all for  
      the same fandom, try to spread them out over the day instead of
      posting them all at once.
• If you’d like to put a post in the polyshipping day tag but not have the blog  add it to the queue, just put a tag to the effect of #pday no
• Official cutoff time is around midnight between the 2nd and 3rd Pacific Time – anything posted after that will be drafted to be posted the next month instead.

Feel free to message us if you have any questions not answered here!

Now get out there and spread the word! <83
