A DC fandom event to celebrate polyamorous ships.

When does the week run?
DC Make It Poly Week will run from July 14th to July 20th 2024. But the Tumblr blog will be active leading up to those dates while prompts are organised.

Do I have to sign up for this event?
No sign-ups necessary! All you have to do to participate is look at the prompt bingo and create something that fits! This includes fanfics, fanart, fanmixes, image manips… the list is endless. As long as you tag your content with #dcmakeitpoly, we’ll find it and reblog it on the Tumblr blog.

Where can I find the prompts?
Once they’ve been finalised, the prompt bingo will appear on the Tumblr blog. An announcement will also be sent out on several platforms.

Which ships are allowed?
This is an open shipping event—all polyamorous ships are welcome. Your ship must include at least three members in a relationship. The nature of that relationship is up to you!

What if I have more questions?
If you have a question that hasn’t been answered here, feel free to ask the mods. We’ll try to get back to you as quickly as possible.
