Welcome to #AggressivelyArospecWeek!
If you've been following us for any of the past eight years, you probably know the drill. But if you're new, here is all you need to know about this very exciting time of the year:
#AggressivelyArospecWeek (#AAW) is a week-long event that promotes the creation of arospec fancontent by arospec creators.
By "fancontent", we mean anything from fanfic to fanart, to themed playlists, edits or even just headcanons. We are open to all fandoms!
By "arospec", we mean that creators should identify somewhere on the aromantic spectrum (or currently be questioning their potentially arospec identity). The content they create should also center a character's arospec identity, whether that character is canonically arospec or heacanonned as such.
This event is an opportunity for creators to explore their identities through fanwork within a supportive community. And it's also a perfect way for fans of all kinds (arospec or not) to enjoy art and have fun!
Join us from June 23 to June 29 2024 and enjoy a small explosion of arospec fancontent on your dash!
Please, take a second to share this post so your followers get to join in the fun as well ๐
To submit, please make a new post between June 23 and June 29 and tag it as #AggressivelyArospecWeek. You can also submit your work directly to our blog through the ask and submission boxes. Your post will then be shared on the Aggressively Arospec blog.
We also have an X account, so use the hashtags #AggressivelyArospecWeek and #AAW24 if you tweet about your work on there. You can also mention us in your tweet (@ AArospec) to be sure we donโt miss it and can retweet it. Please, do submit through tumblr if you can though! That is the best way to get your contribution archived with all the others.
Lastly, a collection will be opened on Archive of our Own to round up all the fanfics posted on there. Just search for โAggressively Arospec Week โ24โณ.
We canโt wait to see what you have in store for us this year!
(For more information, check out our About page or our FAQ section. If you need some inspiration, you can also check out the content that was created during out previous events in our #AggressivelyArospecWeek tag.)

Its crazy how other lgbt people think aro/aces/aroaces dont have similar experience as they had as if were not all stuck in a closet at one point. Like I'm literally in one rn cuz my parents think romance/sex is universal and people in my school (specifically people that i like) are homophobic or dont have a positive opinion of lgbt people (mainly for religious reasons). Idk about you but i feel like thats something other queer people may experience too.

hiii i need more adult aromantic/greyaromantic friends. i realized I am like. Properly Aro in the sense that romantic relationships feel like masking and are very uncomfortable for me even with people are spectacular fit/people I crushed on. I can't keep feelings in relationships. I also experience like, alterous attraction? When I care for someone deeply it feels like an in between of platonic and romantic, like they feel different than usual friendship and I can visualize being around them long term, but don't want to be in a relationship officially deemed romantic. I also like dream of getting married to a QPP/having a polycules of QPPs and potentially raising kids with a QPP. It's all very confusing and I want to talk to people who truly relate.
