Summer Of Love - Tumblr Posts
Ikemen Prince - Seasons of Love Gift Exchange
To all Ikemen Prince Content Creators,
I am pleased to announce that I am hosting my very first Ikemen Series event - if this goes well, there could be more in the future.
Edited to add - I removed the mystery portion of the event and edited this post accordingly. When reblogging or filing out the form, please make sure it is this version. I apologize for any confusion.
What is a Gift Exchange? Those participating in this event agree to create a piece of fanwork (their choice of either fanfiction or fanart) and in exchange, they will receive fanwork (their choice of either fanfiction or fanart).
If you are interested in participating, please read this entire post (as some details have changed from my initial interest post) and then fill out THIS FORM. If you have any questions about this form, please send me a DM or ask.
General Overview and Important Dates
Sign-ups for the event will take place until June 20, 2022. If you are interested in participating, please complete THIS FORM.
You will be notified via Tumblr by July 1, 2022 about the details of your assignment.
You will have from July 1, 2022 to August 30, 2022 to create your gift.
All gifts MUST be posted on August 30, 2022. If you have an issue meeting this deadline, please contact me immediately.
A masterlist of all gifts will be compiled and posted sometime in early September after the event has closed.
Please note that this event is open only to creators 18 years or older.
Rules for Posting Your Gift
Gifts MUST be posted on August 30, 2022 - posting can begin at 12 Midnight EST (I will make a post when you may start posting as we have creators all over the world). If you will be away that day, Tumblr has a schedule setting so you can create your post and schedule it for that day.
Fanfiction must be a minimum of 500 words.
Tag your giftee and @ikemen-prince-gift-exchange in your post and include "#seasons of love gift exchange" in the tags.
There are no requirements regarding banners - you may use one you made or don't use one at all. If you would like a banner, but don't know how to make one, please reach out to me and I can help.
The Fun Stuff
There is a theme for the Exchange - "Summer of Love." When filling out the Google form, please try to incorporate the theme in some way in your requested prompt. Some ideas are sitting in the park on a warm day, a moonlit stroll on a summer evening, sharing ice cream. Creators, if your giftee did not specify a summer theme in their request, please try to incorporate the theme in some way into your work.
While you are encouraged to request Suitor x OC, I cannot promise I can pair you up with someone comfortable writing OCs AND your Suitor.
There is a Tumblr blog for the Exchange - @ikemen-prince-gift-exchange. This blog will contain all posts regarding the Exchange as well as reblog everyone's gifts.
There is a Discord for the participants of the Exchange, but it is optional to join. If you wish to join, here is the LINK.
But Aqua, I want to create something, but I am not ready to participate in the Exchange....
Well, friend, you are in luck, I have a little bonus event - "Summer of Love" where you will have the option of posting a gift to the fandom. This is open to everyone of all ages - participants of the Exchange are welcome to join too. These would include works that are smaller than what is generally required in an exchange - ficlets, drabbles, poems, headcanons, sketches - pretty much anything goes here. All you have to do is state in your post that this is part of the "Summer of Love" event, tag @ikemen-prince-gift-exchange and in the tags include #summer of love. These items would be posted anywhere from August 30, 2022 to September 6, 2022.
As always, my ask box and DMs are open to any and all questions.
Happy creating!
Welcome to Summer of Love.
You and nine other singles will enter a luxury villa and couple up, spending a month in each other's company, along with a few extras along the way – you'll live together, eat together, sleep together, and hopefully, fall in love together. Sound familiar? Thought so – but instead of coupling ceremonies being split by boys and girls as is typical in shows like these, the public will be the ones deciding the order of who gets to pick, and as the cast is an all-bi one, you can pick whoever you like, so long as they haven't already been picked.
At the end of the month, the most popular couple could win as much as ÂŁ500,000, depending on what challenges you win or lose and how well you win over the public. As for the other couples? As there are no dumpings, everyone has the potential to find love, and those in exclusive relationships by the end could also win as much as ÂŁ100,000 per couple. So, how much you win is entirely down to you.
Ready for your summer of love to begin?
Features
A customisable MC – you can pick your gender, pronouns, and physical features. If your preferred set of neo-pronouns are not on the list, you can ask for them, as it's incredibly simple to code that in comparison of things like hair.
A character-driven story, where you're in control. You can help build relationships, break them, or don't even get involved – this is your story.
19 total love interests; male, female and non-binary
This game is 18+ due to the nature, but there won't be detailed erotic scenes.

Stranger Things 3 and The Summer of Love
What if when the Duffer Brothers are talking about Stranger Things 3 being “the summer of love” they aren’t actually talking about shipping but rather implying that there might be flashbacks set in the summer of 1967, also known as The Summer of Love. During this period of time young people became suspicious of the government and LSD was in heavy use. Of course LSD was used in the MKUltra program spearheaded by Dr. Brenner and the Hawkins National Laboratory to expand the mind and create psychokinetic powers.

My mind any time one of the Stranger Things cast and crew or the fans bring up the Summer Of Love
