[dctvgen]

We’re back with Gen Valentine’s for 2022! This is intended as a single day event happening on February 14th, but we’ll also reblog any slightly early or slightly late entries too.

This year’s theme for the event is: Friendship

The event is open to any type of fanwork, of any length, for any DCTV shows - so long as it’s gen-focused and incorporates the theme of friendship.

If you have any questions about the event, do send us an ask here, or you can email DCTVGen at gmail dot com, or comment on our Dreamwidth community (see link in our header). Reblogs to spread the word about the event would be very appreciated. 💚

DCTVGen Valentine’s Day 1 is here! Today we celebrate character fic.

Perhaps your fave character fic is a wonderful canon-compliant episode tag or missing scene for a beloved character. Or a piece that made you see the character in an entirely new light. It could even be an amazing AU take that preserves the core of who that character is while placing them in a completely different setting. Whichever it is, we want to know. :)

Send us recs of your favourite character fics (you can @dctvgen us on the post, submit links/posts, send an ask or message @dctvgenevents).

Do you have a favourite author who writes character fics you adore? We’d love it if you’d send us an author rec post.

Or you can send us an anon ask for your favourite fics and/or authors if you’re a little shy of doing so publicly.

Kudos, likes, bookmarking and reblogs are great too if you’re not feeling wordy. Why not have a reading session with a little spree of giving that kind of feedback to go with it, and then come celebrate that achievement by telling us in a reply here. 🎉

And if you are feeling wordy and up to the challenge, have a search for fic about one of your favourite characters that has 0 comments and leave a nice comment on it to make a fic writer’s day 💗

...For one way to find a fic like that on AO3 you can select ‘Comments’ from the dropdown box under the ‘Sort by’ on the search page, and then go to the last page of results to find fanworks with the least comments.

DCTVGen Valentine’s Day 2 is here! Today we celebrate fanvids.

Fanvids are often a real labour of love with how much work goes into editing and they also tend to have a fairly low rate of feedback compared to most other fanworks. So, we want you to help us highlight the great gen-focused DCTV fanvids out there, old and new, and show the vidders of DCTV some love.

Send us BAMF action vids, send us poignant character studies, send us team as family warm and fuzzy feels vids - just send us all the vids full stop. 📹 💓

Rec us your favourite DCTV gen vids (you can @dctvgen us on the post, submit links/posts, send an ask or message @dctvgenevents).

Do you have a favourite vidder who makes fab fanvids you’d like more people to know about? We’d love it if you sent us a vidder rec post.

You could also make a Youtube playlist of vids and send us the link! :D

Or you can send us an anon ask for your favourite vids and/or vidders if you’re a little shy of doing so publicly.

Likes, bookmarks and reblogs are great too if you’re not feeling wordy. Kudos are also good - yes, there are fanvids on AO3! Check them out. :)

And if you are feeling up to the challenge, try to find a vid with 0 or only a few comments & leave a nice comment on it to make a vidder’s day 🤩

Also, on the subject of commenting, another tip for making it easier… here’s a post about how to leave a reaction gif as a comment on AO3 (sadly it won’t work on YouTube). For those times when you don’t know quite what to say, you can say it with an enthusiastic GIF instead. :D

You will need somewhere to upload the GIF you want to link in the comment. If you don’t have any image hosting to upload it to, a top tip is you can post the GIF in Discord or a Tumblr post.

Once the GIF is uploaded, right-click on the GIF & select ‘Copy image location’ or ‘Copy link’ to get the URL of the GIF - that is what you need to put in the above HTML img tag. On Android it’s a little different - you hold down on the GIF, select ‘Share photo’ and ‘Copy to clipboard’ which gives you the URL you need.

Hey, DCTV fans, we’re setting up a three-day, gen-focused fandom event as an alternative to the usual shipping-related stuff that gets posted around Valentine’s Day.  If that sounds like something you’d be interested in, click the link to vote on some prompts!  The current plan is to set the event on the either weekend before or after Valentine’s Day, so be sure to follow the blog for further information!
