Seven days of CageBlade shenanigans…

CageBlade Week is a week for fans of the Mortal Kombat CageBlade (Johnny Cage/Sonya Blade) ship to create fanworks for them. While you definitely can do it all year round, a shipweek gives us a week in which to focus on them and get some new content out into the community!

<aside> 🔥 THE PROMPTS!

• Day 1: reunion / answers
• Day 2: challenge / night and day
• Day 3: clothing / hourglass
• Day 4: growth / storm
• Day 5: celebration / survival
• Day 6: disaster / an AU of your choice
• Day 7: Free Day!

You may interpret these prompts as strictly or as loosely as your heart desires. You can stick as close or as wide from the prompts as you want. Want to combine two? Go for it! Want to have some other characters cameo or tell a more ensemble tale? Sure - as long as it has Sonya and Johnny at the heart of it.

If you have any questions about prompts and submissions, please reach out to us.

<aside> 🗣 How to Participate:

• All forms of fanworks will be accepted - fanfic, fanart, gifset, playlist whatever it may be!
• Participate one day or every day - it doesn’t matter! If you post on an external site (AO3, FFN, DeviantArt) please at least drop a link here so we can reblog it and promote it.
• There is no wordcount minimum (or maximum) for fics. 100 word drabbles or massive epics or anything in between!
• ALL WORKS MUST BE HUMAN MADE. Generative AI is not permitted in this event. Any works found to be using generative AI will be removed from the collection. Spellcheck is fine; punching in prompts and pasting what is regurgitated is not.
• There are no content restrictions. </aside>

<aside> 📌 Posting:

• On AO3, post your fic and feel free to add it to the CageBlade 2024 Collection.
• If you are posting content like fanvids, gifsets, fanart, playlists, etc. , then post them wherever you’d like and drop a link somewhere! Remember: you can post fanart and such on AO3 but AO3 cannot host it for you.
• On tumblr, make sure to tag your posts with #cagebladeweek (within the first 5 tags, thanks algorithm) and/or @ this blog so we can find and reblog!
• The only things we won’t be reblogging are NSFW with minors and explicit noncon. We will reblog late posts.

<aside> ❓ FAQs

• Do I have to write in English?
• I’ve never done anything like this before… help!
• Can I write an OT3 fic?
• Well, what if I write a breakup fic and have them hook up with other people? It's still CageBlade, right?
• What if I don’t like any of the prompts and have ideas of my own?
• What about Janet Cage? </aside>
