Vaderkin Creative Exchange 2024!
Hello and welcome! This is a gift exchange in four steps, organised by the Vaderkin Community (Vaderkin is a lightning rod discord) around Anakin | Vader's character, to increase interactions between writers and artists and give everyone some time to shine!
✒️ Step 1: Writers write prompts for artists, everyone get matched depending on sign up answers.
🎨 Step 2: Artists have one month to draw one or more works from the prompts they received.
✒️ Step 3: Arts reveal. Writers get assigned one or several art pieces and have two months to write a minimum 500 words story inspired from them.
🎨 Step 4: Fics reveal. Drawing festival, every artist can draw fanart over the new stories created from the event (and be reblogged by this tumblr for it).
Sign up here:
All works (art and fic) from tumblr will be reblogged by the Vader Community and all works (art and fic) from ao3 can be added to the event collection. For this, the works need to be tagged properly with "Vaderkin creative exchange 2024", as well as the tag "explicit" if it is explicit (smut, strong graphic violence) work.
Overall, it’s a typical gift exchange, only writers prompts will be in image rather than words, and everyone is strongly encouraged to have fun and try their hand at sketching during the ’drawing festival’.
Schedule:
Sign up opens: Marsh 28th, 2024
Sign up closes: April 27th, 2024
Artists receive prompts & giftee: May 4th, 2024 (as a little sw gift 😉)
Writers receive prompts & giftee: June 2nd-4th, 2024
Artists Submissions: June 4th, 2024
Writers Submissions: August 4th 2024
Drawing Festival: August 2024
Have fun!!
Rules and FAQ below the cut
RULES
- This is an Anakin Skywalker | Darth Vader exchange. This character needs to be one of the main characters, or at least have a very strong presence in the artwork/story. Crossovers are accepted.
- Respect your Giftee's Do Not Want (DNW)
- Do not reveal who your Giftee is before the reveal date (June 4th for artists, August 4th for writers). If you have a question, ask as anon through the Giftee's Tumblr or ask one of the event mods (we will serve as intermediary).
- Do not repost your gift content (especially art!) Mind your giftee’s extra request for AI-scraping protection if there is any. If you can, use the ao3 gift function to link to their profile. Otherwise, mention in your work post that this is a gift, with a mention of your giftee username and a link towards their tumblr/ao3/otherwise page, if they gave one.
- Do not use AI to produce your gift, be it to produce the prompts or to produce your art / written work.
- Avoid character bashing, kinkshaming, and ship wars. If one fits in your DNW (ex: You absolutely do not want Obikin content), mention it politely. This is an event for everyone to have fun! The fandom is wide, and there is space for everyone.
If any of the above rules is not respected, mods reserve the right to ban you from this and any future Vaderkin Community events.
By participating in this exchange, you commit yourself to producing one art piece if you sign up as an artist, one written fic if you sign up as writer, or one artwork and one fic if you sign up as both. If you can't complete your work, you must warn one of the mods at least one week before the deadline.
Please don’t forget to comment on your gift, even a small ’thank you’ to the artist/writer is better than nothing and will make everyone very happy!

FAQ
Can I draw a comic? Yes, a comic panel will be counted as an art piece.
Can I write a multi chapter story? Sure! Feel free to! But your first chapter must be able to pass as a one shot, and be finished by the writing deadline.
I missed the sign up deadline (27th April), can I still join? No, but you can still join during the Drawing Festival! The final event is open to everyone.
I only joined as an artist/writer but also wanted to participate as the other one. Same answer. The sign up closes in order for us to properly match everyone. But don’t hesitate to join and give gifts for the Drawing Festival!
Someone else also have the same writing prompt/art prompt/giftee as me, is this normal? Yes, this is how we balance the number difference between writers and artists. Prompt interpretation varies from person to person!
Can I do several art/fic works? Sure! In the case of art pieces, it will allow the writer to choose from which picture to draw inspiration from, like receiving several prompts, so several art pieces is highly encouraged!
I cannot finish my work in time, what do I do? Contact us ASAP and tell us your estimated delay. If you are an artist, keep in mind that your gifter cannot begin their writing work before your art piece is published.
I do not wish to participate anymore, what do I do? Contact us ASAP. Please try not to drop out right before the deadline, as we may have to create a work to replace yours.

Ficlet: Vaderkin and Sith!Obi
Here is the third of the ficlets for my 200 Follower Celebration, requested by @poplitealqueen. Pop asked for either Vaderkin or Sith!Obi-Wan. However, because I know what she likes, I have given her both, with an added side of ObiAniDala.
Anakin breathes in, and lets the Darkness fill and swirl through his body like the air in his lungs. There’s a certain comforting familiarity to it by now. It is, after all, his favorite relic from childhood.
“I will show you this secret, Anakin. Just as Qui-Gon showed me. And when you’ve learned it, when you’ve made it truly your own, you’ll never again have any Masters but the ones of your choosing.”
He breathes out, and lets the Darkness slide comfortably under the shields of Light, just as he’s always been taught. Layers upon layers interweaving and concealing, nothing showing but what he wills.
“The line of Bane are fools, just like the Jedi. They think you can only touch one aspect of the Force, as though the Force contains any such artificial separations. The true Sith, though, we’ve always known better that to accept any limits but those the Force itself gives to us. It’s why we’re strong, Anakin. It’s why we’ve survived.”
And now, even here, in the very heart of the Jedi Temple, no one suspects what lies beneath the surface. After all, Master Kenobi and Knight Skywalker are true servants of the Light, are they not? Anyone with an ounce of Force sensitivity can see that.
“And they never think to look any further. We can make a home for ourselves in the very sanctuary of our enemies, and they will welcome us with open arms. Their resources can be our resources, their strongholds our strongholds. And of course, we can make their children ours as well.”
Anakin smiles at that. His Master had always been a firm believer in efficiency. After all, why go to the effort of training up an Apprentice from scratch when there are so many strong and willing Initiates who, with only a little guidance, would readily choose to follow their path? And it makes it so much easier to keep their line hidden across the centuries.
“Though of course, it was far more than worth it to make an exception for you. Even then, you shone in the Force like nothing I’ve ever seen. Qui-Gon wanted you for his own, of course, and I was never one to deny him anything. I only wish we had not let ourselves become so distracted in the process. We should have been able to see Bane’s rabble coming, before they had a chance to get anywhere near us.”
Privately, Anakin is not so sure. Qui-Gon may have been the one who showed Anakin’s Master their true path, but from what Anakin has been told, that fool Dooku had taken up far too much of Qui-Gon’s time in his younger days for the lessons from his true Master to take proper root. Qui-Gon may have known the path of the Sith, but he had never truly lived in the way Obi-Wan. had. It might well be that, even without the Anakin’s presence, Qui-Gon wouldn’t seen Sidious’ mockery of an Apprentice coming until it was too late.
“But we’ll have our vengeance for that soon enough. Already that bastard Sidious stalks around you like a predator stalks its prey. He thinks he’s going to twist you and make you another of his mindless little ‘students’. But we’ll show him differently, won’t we Anakin?”
Anakin licks his lips at the memory. His Master is never more beautiful that when he lets the rage show through to the surface. It’s such a rare, precious sight.
“He won’t be able to resist you. And when he makes his move, the Jedi will indeed fall, and then I’ll be waiting for him. I will see to it that the line of Bane ends once and for all. And you, of course, will be ready to pick up the pieces and carry on our line in my place.”
Now that, of course, is the one part of his Master’s plan that is completely unacceptable, though Anakin knows better than to try and argue with him on it. Oh, he’s fully in support of tearing down this filthy Republic, and the Jedi Order with it. Already, he and his Master have laid the groundwork for what will come after. His brilliant, precious Padme will make a wonderful Empress, and at her side Anakin will reshape the galaxy to their will. But he has no intention of letting Obi-Wan die to see the plan realized. And so, Anakin has made his own preparations. They will have their victory, but on Anakin’s terms, not on Obi-Wan’s.
“It won’t be long now, Anakin. Soon, the revenge of the Sith will be complete.”
Yes, it will indeed. And when it is over, Anakin will have everything he desires; his beloved wife on the throne, his beautiful Master in their bed and at their side, and all the galaxy laid out at their feet.
“I’m so proud of you, Anakin. I know you won’t fail me.”
No Master. We shall have our vengeance, and all else that we desire besides.
You’ll see.
i love this series so much
