Written in the Stars: A Tanabata Inu-spiration Bang: July 7, 2024

Mark Your Calendars: Sign-Ups Begin March 15th

Hi everyone! We are very pleased to announce that our first inu-spiration event of 2024 will be a Tanabata bang!

Tanabata, or, "evening of the seventh," is a star festival held yearly in Japan. It celebrates the meeting of the dieties Orihime and Hikoboshi, whose stars are kept separate in the skies, and can only meet once per year. While the festivities can take place in July and August (often overlapping with Obon), the start of the festival is July 7. In honor of the festival, we hope you will join us for our sixth (!) Inu-spiration bang!

Sign-ups for the bang will begin March 15th and run through April 1st. It will be a traditional bang, meaning that artists will either draw to the story that a writer conceives, or the two will collaborate on the concept.

For more information, and to learn more about the schedule, check out our FAQ page!

Introducing the Mystery Author March

What is it?

Mystery Author March is a month long event, where you get to read a bunch of new fic and guess who wrote them!

How does it work?

Creators will sign up and write a fic for the event. Those who want a prompt, will be given one.

All the fics will be posted to an AO3 collection set up for the event. This collection will remain anonymous, until the authors are unmasked at the end of the month!

The fics will be featured one by one on this blog, including a link to a Google Forms poll, where you can vote to guess who the author of each fic is.

Rules:

The authors participating in the event must have an AO3 account so they can post their work in the collection

Only one work per author may be submitted for this event

The work submitted to this event must be new and written with this event in mind.

All fics submitted to this event should be between 500-1500 words long! Everyone needs to get enough of an idea of your writing style, but it will be better for the event if there is no big disparity between the word counts of each story. If your idea gets away from you, you can submit just an excerpt for this event as a first chapter, and continue the story after the event.

Timeline:

Sign-Ups: 12.-21. January 2024

Fic Submission deadline: 29th February.

Works will be made public to read: 1st of March

4.-24. March: Fics written for the event will be featured on the blog and the polls are active

25.-31.3. March: Authors will be unmasked and mysteries solved!

Reflections on the Jewel: An @inusecretsanta story for @inusmasha

Hello everyone! I am so very pleased to present "Reflections on the Jewel" (Rated G), an @inusecretsanta fic for @inusmasha, who asked for a Midoriko character study.

I really hope that you enjoy this one; it was fun to write 💖 Happy holidays, all! 🎅

Story Summary:

Midoriko recalls her life in the jewel, and the one who could not save her…

The one who did…

And, the one that she hopefully also saved in return.

Thanks to the mods for a very fun event this year ❄️

Memory Lane

💨@kagomes-hanakotobamatsuri 2024 Week 02: Independence & Spirituality 💨Flower: Queen Anne's lace (refuge), Dandelion (resilience) 💨Element: Air 💨Trope: Magical accidents, Mistaken identity

Summary: Sometimes the best memories are hidden and just need a little prodding.

Read it on Ao3 and FFnet.

Sneak Peek

A scuffle inside broke her out of her musings, and the front door opened with a bang, Kimiko looking slightly dishevelled as she led a silver-haired daiyoukai onto the front porch. "Kagome, Mother is having a bit of an episode. Would you be a dear and watch her until she calms down?"

"Of course." She guided the woman to one of the rocking chairs, amber eyes wild as her head darted around.

"Thank you," Kimiko said, already trying to compose her hair. "Normally, I would do it myself, but with so many people—" She sighed and shook her head. "Perhaps I should not have brought her."

Kagome waved her off. "It's fine. Once she's more of herself, I'll bring her back inside." She patted Kimiko's arm. "And he wouldn't have forgiven you if you'd left her out."

She let out a forced chuckle. "How is it no one has snatched you up yet? You help so many yet ask nothing in return."

Kagome managed to keep the blush from spreading too far, masking it with a shrug. "I love being here with everyone. A partner would only complicate things."

Kimiko clicked her tongue, but someone called her from inside, and she squared her shoulders before opening the door. "Call me if you require help." Kagome waved her off again, then sat in the chair opposite the ancient daiyoukai.

Youkai aged much slower than humans, but only daiyoukai lived long enough to see multiple millennia. Koraino Hikari was one of the few who would see her fourth in the next few years, though she wouldn't know it.

Even youkai were not immune to things like dementia.

Fleet Week 2023: May 22-28 Coming to a dock near you!

So what will you choose, port or starboard?

Hello everyone! We here at @inu-mothership are thrilled to announce this year's Fleet Week, which will take place May 22-28, 2023!

We have a few changes to the format that we're very excited about, and we hope that you are, too 🐳

This year, each day, you'll have the option to walk on a particular side of your ship--Port or Starboard--with opposite prompts for each. You can do all the prompts on the Port side, all on the Starboard, or both, or one and then the other, or some combination of the two! Our last day will be a free day, so you can either use any of the week's earlier prompts, or create something new!

This fleet week is about a celebration of any ship* you would like to create for, from your OTP to your BroTP to your faux-TP!

Prompts are listed on the graphics, and below the cut. Follow us for more Fleet Week information in the upcoming weeks! We look forward to more amazing multi-shipping creations from all of you!

*as long as the ship is allowed in Inu-Mothership rules.

Port & Starboard Prompts

May 22 -- Enemies to Lovers -- Lovers to Enemies

May 23 -- Meet-cute -- Meet-Ugly

May 24 -- Fluff -- Angst

May 25 -- Slice of Life -- Crime

May 26 -- Hurt/Comfort -- Betrayal

Don't Toy With Me

🔥@kagomes-hanakotobamatsuri 2024 Week 01: Endurance & Energy 🔥Flower: Red hibiscus (passion), Poppy (peace) 🔥Element: Fire 🔥Trope: Stranded in a deserted location, Struck speechless

Summary: After a startling confession, Kagome must decide whether to take it seriously and what the ramifications will be if she does.

Read it on Ao3 and FFnet.

Sneak Peek

Inuyasha had found her as soon as she graduated high school, giving her those three years to make sure he didn't mess with the timeline. It had been one thing to see him again, but seeing Shiori, too, had given her hope that others had survived.

Shippou eventually found the time to fly back to Japan to see her. He'd hit maturity in the last 500 years, now standing taller than Inuyasha, which he rubbed in at every moment. Their fights were far less emotional than the brawls they used to have, though the teasing was still there, and it warmed Kagome's heart every time she got to see everyone.

Sesshoumaru had been a surprise. Even more so when he showed up with Shippou the second time. Apparently, they'd gone into business together, creating a line of long-lasting toys that even youkai toddlers couldn't destroy. They'd recently opened a new location on the mainland, which Shippou was overseeing, but Sesshoumaru was more intimidating when it came to ensuring supplies were delivered on time, so he'd been flying back and forth when Shippou needed backup.

She started writing the kit regularly, but since he was so busy with the new shop being built, her correspondence had had to go through Sesshoumaru, and soon they'd been conversing almost daily.

It was odd, considering they'd barely spoken in the past, but he'd become much more relaxed in the last five centuries. He was CEO because it allowed him the freedom to travel, but Shippou had sent her candid shots of him in the back of the shop, sleeves rolled up as he worked on new toys.

She wasn't sure when they'd passed the label of friends, but she looked forward to her time with him when he was in town. He had a surprisingly dry sense of humour, one that Inuyasha had had to explain, but it seemed time did wonders for clearing the air. He was Inuyasha's kids' favourite uncle.

"You should just marry me," he said, laying an arm across a bent knee.
