Incest Mini-Challenge: A Family Affair 2024

[almach]

Some people say the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup… but personally, even though I'm a coffee lover, waking up to new fanworks for one of my beloved incest ships is even better! Do you feel the same way? Do you have incest ships or themes in mind for at least one of your Yuletide requests this year? Then A Family Affair, the Yuletide mini-challenge for works featuring incest, is for you!

Selfcest, clonecest, adopted/stepfamily incest, one-sided attraction, "AU where they're related", cousin incest in historical canons where it's not a taboo, and so on are on-topic for this challenge if you feel like they are. We're not going to police what counts as "incest-y enough".

How do I participate?

Leave a comment on this post linking to your Yuletide letter (if applicable) and letting people know what fandoms and characters you're requesting and what kinds of incest you're interested in receiving gift works about. At a minimum, you should include:

• Your AO3 username
• A link to your Yuletide letter (or a mention of the fact that you don't have one, just so we know you didn't forget the link)
• A list of the fandoms and characters you're requesting that are relevant to this challenge, and what incest ships you're interested in for them

It's also a good idea to include some more details about what you'd like to receive. Consider answering some or all of the following questions, especially if you're signing up without a letter:

• What kinds of familial relationships are you interested in (mother/son, twincest, etc.)? (You might think it's obvious from who the characters are, but some people might be reading the comments looking to pick up a new canon!)
• Do you want to receive works with explicit sexual content?
• Do you want to receive works where the characters are underage?
• What kind of relationship dynamics are you interested in (romantic fluff, consensual-but-angsty, dubcon, grooming, noncon, etc.)?

If you want to advertise your requested fandoms as being particularly rich in incest potential, or even containing canon incest, please do! If you've written a promo post for your fandom, this is a great place to link to it (and if you haven't written one yet, it's not too late!).

How do I tag the works I make for this challenge?

When you post a work for this challenge, tag it "Yuletide Family Affair" so other interested participants can easily find it. You're also encouraged to use a non-Yuletide-specific freeform tag that describes the type of relationship(s) in the work (for example, "Brother/Sister Incest", "Parent/Child Incest", or just plain "Incest").

Relationship Dynamics: grooming, dubcon, basically what's implied by canon/what you can read into
