A: We totally agree with this! Which is why there isn't a hard number where we decide what is and isn't a rarepair, and have instead decided to crowdsource opinions from you guys. What better way to sort popularity than from an (ostensible) popularity poll?
Q: I feel like since A3 is 8 years old, the number of fics in a particular ship to be considered not a rare pair should go up as well, or at least compared to the number of fics uploaded to the a3 category daily

A: Yes, this is allowed! What's rarer than a guy x himself?
Q: cannot BELIEVE I’m asking this but is, like, shipping two play characters who have the same actor off-limits…? I don’t think I’m gonna do anything with it but I vaguely remember previous weeks allowing it
A: Yes, this is allowed! What's rarer than a guy x himself?

It would depend on the ship! AO3 is our current most "objective" indicator, but we're also taking into account fanart and general popularity.

A3! Rarepair Week 2026 📌 @a3fanweeks.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
This totally makes sense, and the previous RPW organizer actually did something similar! We're not having a strict number, as it would be kind of hard to really keep track, but we will keep in mind ships which are mostly just one or two groups making content!

We did contact a3_69min and its mods to see if they would be doing it again! We reached out after last year's RPW didn't go through. Unfortunately, they didn't respond to us after several attempts, so we decided to move forward with it.

Q: its the person who suggested you stay anon again here, hi! i suggested this not bc i doubt the character of the mods, but because there will be ppl who will hold it against you if you rt squicky stuff even if its tagged 😅

A: For the purposes of this week, they'll be the same! So Eiritsu and CitoIta are counted under the same ship. This is also just to avoid potential loopholes in using playverse to simply write a popular ship.
Q: are playships considered seperate from their actor counterpart? i.e would eiritsu be seperate from citoita

A: No, we won't be restricting your ships. HOWEVER, we ask that any potentially triggering or squicky content to be tagged accordingly! Pieces that are not tagged will not be retweeted.
Q: Are you doing ship restrictions? Not about how rare the pair is but who is involved? I just wanna know if I will pass on this
A: No, we won't be restricting your ships. HOWEVER, we ask that any potentially triggering or squicky content to be tagged accordingly! Pieces that are not tagged will not be retweeted.

A: Fics with a popular pair + additional characters count as a rarepair as long as at least one pairing of the characters is a rarepair. +
Q: how would polyam fics count? bcs i tend to write characters usually in qprs and open relationships, would a fic with a popular pair + additional partners count as a rarepair or not?
A: Fics with a popular pair + additional characters count as a rarepair as long as at least one pairing of the characters is a rarepair. However, we would like to ask that creations primarily feature a rarepair as the focus, and not to use this poly shipping rule as a loophole to just write the popular pair.

A: 1.) Anything other than happily married is definitely allowed and encouraged! (Both mods are angst machines, lol.) Unrequited, exes, QPPs are all allowed as long the ship is explicity written as being romantic or queerplatonic (as opposed to just friends or family). +
Q: Stance on unrequited ships/exes/qpps/other dynamics besides happily dating? Is NSFW allowed? Late submissions? Fic, art, are other contributions like playlists allowed?
