In case you haven’t seen our previous posts, here is a reminder of a few things:

• Olivarry Week 2016 will be running from Sunday 5th June until Saturday 11th June. We will be reblogging the posts according to American EST, and things will be reblogged twice a day - once at 10am, and once at 10pm. Don’t worry if you miss the cut off due to your time zone, we will just reblog it on the next one.
  
• ANYTHING can be posted - fics, art, playlists, gifsets, fanvids, etc. The only requirement is that they follow the prompt and that it is Olivarry.
  
• Any works that you post should be under the tag #olivarryweek2016. Please make sure to include this in your first five tags so that we can track it properly.
  
• The rest of the rules can be found here. Please familiarise yourself with these so that everything runs smoothly!
  
• Day 4 (Free Day) is the day that you can post ANYTHING you want as long as it’s Olivarry.
  
• If you’re not entirely sure what a Soulmates AU is, check out this link for clarification. 
  

Everything else is self-explanatory but we are here if you have any questions. List of admins can be found here if you’d rather speak to one of us individually.

The poll for theme suggestions for Olivarry Week 2016 is up! You can pick up to 6 themes each, and remember, even if your preferred theme doesn’t get voted in, we will still have a free day in which you can work with anything you want! 

Thank you so much for your suggestions. Again, some of them were too specific to work for a group assignment, so we merged some together or took the prompt and made it more general. So if you can’t find the theme you suggested in here, I promise it’s there, we just had to modify them a little bit to give the participants some freedom when working with the prompts. 

This poll is open until Sunday 17th April, and then the following day, the final themes will be announced!

Heyyy! Friendly reminder that the Olivarry Valentine’s Weekend begins on Friday. Please remember to use #olivarryvalentines2016 in your first five tags and add to the collection olivarryvalentine2016 on ao3. Make sure you’re aware of the rules which are posted here. 

Over the next few days we’ll be reblogging some valentine’s related prompts. These are by no means exhaustive and it’s only to give people ideas if they haven’t come up with anything yet - so if you’ve already completed your contribution, don’t panic! They’re merely suggestions. 

As always, if you have any questions, our ask box is open, or if you’d rather speak to a single person, send an ask/message to Amie or Steff. 

Additionally, we are always open to suggestions for future events, so if you have any ideas that you think would be fun for the fandom, please share with us!

Okay you guys! Valentine’s Day is drawing closer, so I felt it was time to get this post out here!

As mentioned before, we’re running a Valentine’s Weekend, so we’re looking forward to see what this wonderful fandom comes up with.

The event will take place over the weekend of Valentine’s Day - Friday 12th Febuary to Sunday the 14th Febuary.

Unlike our usual events, there are no prompts, specifically. The overall theme is valentines day, so do with that what you will. These can be posted on any day of that weekend.

Rules are the same as ever. If you need a reminder, check here. The tag for this event will be #olivarryvalentine2016.

As usual, please share and signal boost so that we can drum up some interest and get as many people involved as possible! The more writers/artists/giffers etc that see this, the more goodies that will be available over the weekend for you guys!

We can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Hi! Sorry for the delay in answering this, we were discussing before we came up with an answer.

But YES, we will be holding a Valentines Day Weekend. Rather than specific prompts, we’ve decided to just keep it simple - anything valentines related will be reblogged. We will make a proper announcement soon, but you guys feel free to start working on stuff now. We’ll run it over the 12th to 14th February. 

As always, we’re looking forward to seeing what you all come up with! More details to follow in the next few days.

olivarryweek:

Olivarry Holiday Weekend will be as follows:

Day 1 (Friday 18th Dec): Snowed in
Day 2 (Saturday 19th Dec): Free Day
Day 3 (Sunday 20th Dec): First Christmas as a couple

We can’t wait to see what you guys come up with! A more detailed reminder post will be made closer to the time, but the rules can be viewed here if you need a reminder  and our ask box is always open for questions.

As always, a signal boost would be appreciated, so that this can get around to as many people as possible.

[Excerpt]

He remembers when he first met Oliver. He was jealous. Reformed billionaire playboy, incredibly handsome and strong. It made him feel weaker. A playboy surviving five years on an island by himself? Barry’s not sure he would have been able to do that, and he likes to think he’s clever and crafty.

Of course, when he found out Oliver’s alter ego… well, it made sense after that. It didn’t do much to help with his jealousy, though. The firm grip on his neck – the one he couldn’t break by himself – just serves to remind him that he’s not strong enough, that he’d die without other people’s help.

And that’s just the way his whole life is. He’s just destined to be subpar. Or even below subpar. Is there such a thing as lower than below average? If there is such a thing, Barry’s the reason why it exists. He’s too skinny, he’s basically just skin and bones. No muscles at all.
