Rules (adapted for fic, gifs, art, etc.): Share what you made this year! It can be works you posted to Ao3, Wattpad, Tumblr, or anywhere else! You can share everything you made or just the projects you're most excited about.

tagged by @victoriaspriing thank you!!!

2024 is just around the corner, so unbelievable to me. it feels like no time has passed since the beginning of 2023. i was thinking, hm it doesn’t feel like i’ve made many gifs this year, but then i went looking back at all my favorite gifsets i made and i was pleasantly surprised to see quite a significant amount. my goal for 2024 is to create more gifsets, to share with the fandom and most importantly to let the creativity flow. okay, but i’m here to reflect on my gifsets from this year, so let’s get into that shall we? i’ll share some fun statistics and then my top 5 gifsets from this year, and totally copying joana here but i’ll also give a shoutout to my favorite creators who not only inspire me but make this fandom wonderful with their creations <3

fun statistics

in total i made 188 gifsets in 2023

99 are about louis (*pretends to be shocked*)

50 are about harry

10 are larry

4 are ot5

1 about samia

1 about soyoon

the rest are 911 lone star, stranger things, only friends and first kill

28 (!!!) are elaborate gifsets

44 are or include purple

4 are about faith in the future

top 5 gifsets (in no particular order)

louis birthday gifset this has to be my favorite gifset i’ve made this year. i had so much fun making it, from trying a different color i’m not used to, to using new effects i hadn’t had the chance to try. everything came out as i had envisioned and it makes me so happy. i gotta say by the end of it i was tired. i think i spent a total of 10 hours on it, but it was so worth it

faith in the future anniversary gifset okay so this one was originally going to be blue and yellow, but the first gif (the one with the tv) wasn’t looking good, so i just did what i do best, make it purple and yellow. i’m glad i did, because not only do i love that combo, but i think it looks great. i had this vague concept of what i wanted to do. i knew i definitely wanted to include the spotify template. from there i just did what i felt in the moment. the edit with the tracklist was originally going to be in the form of a google search, but it looked so bad, so i just went for something more simple, which ended up looking so much better. the last edit was the second to last one. i was thinking, how can i include fitfwt into it? that’s when i realized i had a combination of one gifset, one edit, one gifset and one gifset, so i added one edit in the middle of the last two gifsets to create that pattern. i took my favorite louis picture from tour and just did a quick edit. with this one, less was better, and i’m very proud of how it came out

hlholidayexchange gifset i absolutely adore this one. the prompt was anything with 2014 larry. i had a very clear concept for this one. polaroids showing them together. while looking for videos i just gravitated towards their night changes performance, especially the prince and little one with the cheekbones, so that’s what i did. i was apprehensive about the blending, as it’s something i struggle with, but personally i think i did good. there’s always room for improvement, but i’m satisfied with it. the colors came to me right at the end, a combination of some of my favorite colors that are close together in the color wheel, so they look good together. it’s simple, but effective :)

louis tomlinson tinder this one was so fun to make. i especially loved coming up with hobbies and activities that describe louis. i knew i wanted to include numerology because this boy is obsessed with numbers and you can’t tell me he isn’t into numerology. as for the matches, i included his husband people who he’s potentially had a crush on based on interactions and interviews. i also love how the colors came out, i think it looks very pretty

harry’s house anniversary i love this one so much. i had a very clear concept of what i wanted to do. the cutout of the pictures plus the lyrics looked so much fun and i had a great time putting it together, and i just love the spotify template. i think everything about it is very pretty. the colors, the scenes, all of it. the only thing that makes me sad is how the video for daylight came out way later so i couldn’t include it, but other than that i love it so so much

bonus!!! this is louis tomlinson a very fun, very pleasant edit. i remember just wanting to do a gifset highlighting some aspects of louis and his career. i wanted something semi simple and visually appealing, so i did the google search overlay and from there just basic layouts. i had a lot of fun making it

shoutout to my faves!!!

CA:TWS Anniversary Event - Rules & FAQ

Mods: Tej (sparkagrace) & Maya (cable-knit-sweater) Email: [email protected]

About this event:

The goal of this event is to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Based on the response to our interest check, this will be an open event, meaning we will allow any content related to CA: TWS. We will provide optional (thematic) prompts on a daily basis - based on scenes from the movie, characters etc. - for you to use if you want them. There will be no minimum or maximum for content and we won’t restrict what type of work you want to provide. This can be fic, gifset, podfic, fanart, craft, playlist/song, video, poem, moodboards, rec lists etc. If you are proud of the content you’ve created, then you should post it. You can also cross-post with any other event if they allow it. The event will take place from March 26th - April 4th 2024.

Rules & FAQ below the cut.

We’ve tried to answer all questions from the interest check & other questions you may have, but if after reading you still have unanswered questions, please send us an ask or email, or DM one of the mods.

SCHEDULE

March 13: Prompt lists are published

March 26: Start of event

April 4: End of event

April 7: Final event masterlist shared

RULES

Be kind. Any kind of hate (kink bashing/shaming, harassment, hate speech, toxic behavior, etc.) will not be tolerated at any point. If you think you see there is something harmful, please bring it to a mod’s attention and we will speak to the individual or group. The goal is to be a community.

This is an 18+ only event. Sorry, but this is due to a number of reasons: the collection is going to be mostly unmoderated and we are reblogging/retweeting content that will likely include mature & explicit works.

TAG. YOUR. WORKS. We believe in Kinktomato here. YKINMKATOK (Your Kink Is Not My Kink (And That’s OK). We expect explicit works, and that will contain squicks, triggers, etc. If you’re unsure, err on the side of caution. We believe in Kinktomato here but you are responsible for advising our readers what to expect.

On that note, If there is a work that you don’t vibe with, skip it. Do not engage. Works including any and all ships or kinks are welcome here. We will be tagging our reblogs so if there are tags/content you do not wish to see, please filter them out.

All works must be tagged for any Major Archive Warnings (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Underage) that the work contains. If there are none, make sure to select ‘No Archive Warnings Apply’. Works tagged as ‘Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings’ and untagged works will not be shared.

FAQ

What type of work is allowed?

To make this event as low-pressure as possible, there will be no minimums or maximums for content. We won’t restrict what type of work you want to provide. This can be fic, gifset, podfic, art, craft, playlist/song, video, poem, moodboards, rec lists etc.

This is an event celebrating CA: TWS, so we do ask that content is focused on CA:TWS, whether canon or canon divergent. We’ll also allow post-canon works, provided they take place during the CA:TWS era (so pre-AoU, for example: Bucky recovery fics). Your work should include at least one of the characters who appears in the movie (e.g., Steve, Bucky, Rumlow, Pierce, Maria Hill etc).

Do I have to use daily prompts?

No, the daily prompts are optional. They’re there to serve as inspiration should you need it and your works do not necessarily need to be associated with the theme/character of the day either.

Can I use more than one daily prompt?

Yes, you can use as many as you’d like! If you think it fits, you can use it.

Do I need to post my creation on the day the daily prompt is for?

If you want to be featured in that day’s masterlist, yes. For example: if you use a daily prompt from the March 31st list, but you post it on April 2nd, it will still be reblogged, but it will be featured on the April 2nd masterlist and not the March 31st one.

Does this event require a masterpost?

No, this event does not require a masterpost. If you do make a masterpost, please tag us and we will share it at the end of the event.

How will works be shared?

We will regularly check our twitter/tumblr mentions and reblog/retweet creations provided they follow our rules. Content on Tumblr will be queued to the event account to spread posting.

We’ll also make daily masterlists (posted 1-2 days after given time zones/to collect all content). This should also allow content only posted to tumblr or only posted to twitter to be shared more widely. If we miss something, please let us know!

POSTING

Please tag @catws-anniversary if you are posting on Tumblr and @catws10 on Twitter, for us to reblog/retweet it. If you post to the AO3 Collection, it will automatically be displayed there & will be included in our daily masterlist(s).

Tags for your post should include #CATWS10 and all your usual fic tags, warnings, etc. as mentioned above.

If using daily prompts, please list what day’s prompt and which prompt you are posting for.
