This is a low pressure, flexible fanworks fest.
Submit whatever you like - the only requirement is that your work somehow uses the theme of "10 years later".

What are we doing here?
We are celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Guy Ritchie's 2015 movie adaptation of The Man From U.N.C.L.E.! The celebration includes a fanworks collection reveal, and two watch parties.
Are there prompts or assignments?
No prompts, no assignments - just a theme: Ten Years Later. And you can interpret the theme any way you want! A mission 10 years after the movie, an AU where they meet 10 years later, a mission 10 years after a breakup, a villain from 10 years ago appears - any way you want to interpret the them is fair game.
What can I submit?
Fic, art, poems, video edits, links to playlists or pinterest boards - anything you want to share to celebrate!
When can I submit?
As soon as you like! The 'deadline' for posting for the celebration is August 10th, with a reveal on August 14th. You may post to the collection any time.
Do I have to sign up to participate?
Certainly not - signing up is just a way to be looped in on communications, like deadline reminders. There will not be many reminders, but if you would find them helpful, please do sign up using the google form. You are welcome to submit to the collection without signing up ahead of time.
How do I join?
See the post above for instructions on posting to the collection on AO3.
What if I can't finish on time
Totally fine - you do not have to submit anything if you sign up. And if you plan to submit but miss the deadline, that's ok too - you can add it later. This is a low pressure celebration.
There are watch parties?
YES. There will be two watch parties - dates and times to be announced by July 21. Scheduling will take time zones into account - hopefully everyone who wants to join will be able to make one of the two parties.
