Ocean and the Moon RE! 🌊 🌕
Hi lovely folks!
I learned that earlier in the week, it was Ocean Day 🌊 in Japan! And since this previous week had International Moon Day 🌕 , what a delightful reason to host an RE! Let's celebrate our cosmos, our seas, and all within them!
For this RE, I'd say the requirements to enter are very loose, and I aim to make it as inclusive as possible. Of course, anything about the literal ocean or moon. But anything figurative works great, too! Have characters with aquatic or cosmic names? Great!
But also, let's extend that further. Rivers eventually flow into the sea, for example. All bodies of water are connected in some way (even if indirectly, like through the water cycle), so they're totally fine to enter!
Love the stars? Perfect! They occupy the same space, and might very well have their own moons! The more, the merrier.
For this RE, you may submit up to three (3) relevant one-shots, chapters or any combination thereof. In return, you must review the submissions of at least three (3) different authors. Please include links, fandom, rating, and warnings, making sure to add spoiler tags to potentially triggering content.
Deadline for entries: Monday July 27, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST
Deadline for reviews: Thursday July 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM EST
As always, your reviews must be genuine, thoughtful, detailed and at least 50 words. The author should be able to tell you actually read their story.
Concrit and mentions of being “fandom-blind” or “from Reddit” are opt-in only -- please don’t include any of these unless the author explicitly says you can. And please remember to be kind!
When you’ve reviewed a fic, reply to the author’s entry to let them know.
Please make sure to include a counter at the end of your entry. (Beginning with 0/3, and update as you read and review, to help us keep track of your progress.)
Please have fun! And happy reading and reviewing! Let's give these cosmic and aquatic fics some more love!❤️
