Ad Astra News - 6/11 - 6/17
State of the Archive
Our archive’s header has been updated thanks to enabling by @solarisone. >.> I don’t know anything about that.
In more serious news, we’ve had an incredibly busy week! As you can see below, we’ve had a lot of new people join us, bringing over stories to archive. We’ve had some new faces on our chat server starting with a D, too! I’ve added some community resources under the Community Toolbox FAQ. If you’re planning on joining us, please read the tagging/posting FAQs/Rules, as we are very much not AO3 about that.
All in all, the archive is running well. I’ve got kudos up and working correctly, finally, and while we still have some minor annoyances (the times/dates populating incorrectly on dashboards or browsing pages), everything’s running stable right now and should continue to indefinitely.
There is still a Review Hunt going on until the end of the month: A chance to win art or cash! Right now, Gibraltar and DavidFalkayn are the only participants, come give them a run for the money!
Weekly Challenge #9 - Juneteenth
Our writing challenge this week is in honor of Juneteenth and is therefore the celebration of Black Star Trek characters. So, write a piece between 100 and 700 words in honor of the holiday and the amazing Black characters we’ve gotten from Trek over the decades and add it to our archive collection!
Author Interview with @daraoakwise
Come and get to know our first victim interviewee, @daraoakwise, who currently writes in the AOS universe and has lots of interesting insight to share!

Mobile directory overview
About & Prompts | Guidelines | Ao3 & FAQ
This is a post linking to all the mobile directories! As tumblr limits itself to 20 clickable tags per post, there are several of them, and will probably become more as the second Fortnight progresses. If you are using tumblr on a laptop or tablet, you can look at the easier web directory instead. You can also copy the link to your mobile browser:
https://discoveryfemslashfortnight.tumblr.com/directory
That link does not work in the app, which is where the mobile directories linked below come in!
Fyi: if clicking the #s under the mobile directory posts isn't leading you where it's supposed to, but to a search of tumblr entirely instead of just the blog, click the discoveryfemslashfortnight url on top of the post once and try again, it's just a tumblr bug.
Organizational #s can be found here
The #s for different kinds of works (fic, gif, ...) are here
For the different daily prompts, the #s are here
Star Trek shows filter
For Star Trek Discovery, the posts are as follows:
Characters
Ships
For other Star Trek fandoms:
Characters
Ships
More Star Trek fandoms will be added as there are works created for them!
We will also use an 'other treks' hashtag, so everyone who is only here for Star Trek Discovery can block it if you like! That way, you can look through the blog without having to filter so much, but we can still accept submissions to the other fandoms.
This Femslash Fortnight is open to all Star Trek fandoms and will begin on Saturday, July 23rd, and end on Sunday, August 7th, 2022!

Ad Astra News - 8/27 - 9/2
State of the Archive
Growth remains steady and the September Review Hunt is underway! First prize being a full-color portrait of a character of your choosing, second prize being a black and white portrait of the same, or you can bank wins for a bigger piece of art! Or you can toss me a wishlist, too. Any which way, don't be shy about signing up; it costs nothing and you only have to read and review to participate! In the meantime--
Weekly Challenge #19: Empathy
Be it an actual psionic ability, or just the ability to feel as others do, go ahead and write between 100 and 700 words on empathy! Interpret as liberally or strictly as you like. When you post it to the archive, tag it with Weekly Challenge: Empathy.
Challenge ends September 8th at 11:59PM, Eastern.
