A thank-you post
It's somehow been seven weeks! We got over 200 contributions, which is crazy! And that's just counting tumblr—I know some of you must have been doing your own thing elsewhere.
❗30 Below is never over. The AO3 collection stays open, and I'll keep sharing your contributions—so I encourage you to keep going.
30 Below wouldn't have been possible without @stanfordsweater, who held my hand and taught me the ways of modding; @nigeltde-fic, who got me into due South and is there for me in all my efforts; the dS discord gang, who cheered me on starting from the very first idea; and every single one of you who joined the fest by creating, commenting, spreading the word, or just following along. It's been a joy I can't begin to describe—seeing your enthusiasm and community spirit.
If you liked 30 Below, check out other dS things you can do:
🐢write some snippets
🐢join the @duesouthbigbang
🐢come hang out on discord
You can always get hold of me @flownwrong/emotionalrisotto on discord/flownwrong on DW. I hope to see you all around for other shenanigans!

30 BELOW FEST: celebrating 30 years of due South
What Is 30 Below?
On April 23rd, 1994, a certain television movie aired in Canada. The rest is 30 years of amazing, rich and lovely history — still going in 2024.
30 below is a fest to celebrate this anniversary, run by @flownwrong. Whether you’ve been here from the get-go or just joining the fun — this fest is for you. Let’s spread the love for the wonder that is due South!
info —
🐢30 below will run from March 11th (The Eleventh Of March!) until April 23rd (the pilot airing date!)
🐢each of 7 weeks will have a theme, complete with prompts to help you get going; themes will go up on February 18th
🐢you are free to use any, all or none of the prompts and themes! they are optional and are here to inspire, not restrict
🐢this event accepts any contributions:
all fanworks: meta, art, gifsets, photo or video edits, fanmixes, fic, rec lists… anything you feel inspired to create!
community interaction: comments, shout outs, liveblogging, asks, etc — don't forget to post about what you got up to so we can all share the joy!
🐢contributions will be reblogged all throughout the fest, and you're never too late — the whole year is anniversary year!
🐢it's preferred that you post your themed contributions during the corresponding week, but you're welcome to share whenever!
🐢please mention the fest (@ds30below) and tag your post #ds30below so i can share it! I will be tracking the main #due south tag as well.
❗note that if you're reblogging something as a contribution (e.g. responding to meta), you'll need to mention @ds30below in your reblog, since it won't show up in the tag search.
🐢if you're not on tumblr, post wherever you're comfortable and let me know! (flownwrong on DW, emotionalrisotto on discord, ask/message here)
🐢you can also submit your contributions using the submit button on this here blog
— knock yourselves out, and happy 30th birthday to our favourite show!

for rayk-on-boats appreciator @feroxargentea, who said "Jack Aubrey would be so proud of him not going up through the lubber's hole" and was absolutely right
