What is Versicolor Week?

A lot of times in fandom, ships involving PoC are overlooked, despite being just as viable — if not more viable — than ships involving two white characters. Versicolor Week intends to combat that by celebrating the ships that involve at least one PoC, broadening their audience and hopefully leading to some change in fandom when it comes to ships regarding PoC.

What ships are allowed?

Anything, as long as one of the characters involved is a person of color. The ships above are just a small sampling of the pairings that span across every fandom, and as long as one of the characters is a PoC, then it doesn’t matter what ship it is, whether it’s het, slash, or femmeslash.

What can I do to participate?

Anything! Graphics, fanart, fanfiction, fanvids, music… the list goes on and on! You can post whatever you want, as long as you make it and it adheres to the ship rules laid out in the paragraph above. All I’m asking is you don’t post it until at least April 1st. If you can’t participate, at least reblog. Some of your followers might be interested.

What else do I need to know?

When April 1st rolls around, all you need to do is tag your Versicolor Week posts with ‘versicolor 2012’ and I’ll reblog your work onto the blog I’ve made specifically for this week. This is a multifandom week, and while I’m in a fair few fandoms, I’m not in all of them, so tagging them with the fandom it belogs to would be a huge help.

The Versicolor Week tumblr is here. This is where all the posts will be reblogged once the week finally starts. Any updates/rule changes will be posted here as well.

If you have any questions, hit me up in my ask. I’ll do my best to answer any questions you have.
