OFMD Aro/Ace Week 2025

Welcome!

OFMD Aro/Ace Week is fan event for creation & sharing of fanfic & art focused on asexual and aromantic identities. This is a week to celebrate the beautiful spectrum of a-spec identities and experiences in the OFMD community!

Okay, so When is This?

March 23-29, 2025

And Where is This Happening?

Wherever you'd like! We have an account on Twitter and Bluesky (see links below), but if you want to share this on any other social media site (especially if you're not on Twt or Bsky, because honestly I don't blame you), you're more than welcome! And of course, many people will post their works on Ao3 as well or cross-post on social media.
