Q & A

Q. "How do I participate in Cartman Week?"

A. It's easy! Anyone is allowed to participate. We provide a list of prompts as inspiration, along with a loose explanation for each one and suggestions for what you can do with them. You can interpret them however you like and you can combine prompts as you see fit. You are not required to complete every single day nor do entries need to be posted on the "correct" day. You're also more than welcome to plan ahead and complete your entries prior to the event starting.

Q. "Am I allowed to participate after Cartman Week officially ends?"

A. Yes! In fact, we encourage it! We know some folks may have stumbled upon our event late or not had time to complete their entries. We will share submissions up to one month after the event ends.

Q. "Why does Cartman Week happen in February instead of July when his birthday is?"

A. Kyman Week has taken place over Cartman's birthday for the past several years. In an attempt not to overlap with another Cartman-forward event, we chose to host our week over Valentine's Day in honor of his love of matchmaking, and also as a nod to Cupid Me.

Q. "When you say 'all ships welcome', does this include OC x Canon and self-shipping?"

A. Absolutely!

Q. "Will there be a Spanish translation for the week's list?"

A. Yes! We will be providing a Spanish translation of the theme list : )

PROMPTS

Day 1 \| Toys / Favorite Snacks
★ Toys - After all, this is a guy who loves his dollies and action figures. This prompt is dedicated to Cartman and his toys! Tea parties, cowboy shootouts, complex and tragic murder mysteries… Get creative!
★ Favorite Snacks - Cheesy poofs, Snacky Cakes, cereal bombs… This prompt is all about Cartman enjoying his favorite snacks, however you would like to portray it.

Day 2 \| Fun Day Out / Animals
★ Fun Day Out - This one is self-explanatory! A fun day out could be to Casa Bonita or to a theme park or just a nice day with all his friends who love him soooo much.
★ Animals - Animals can be anything from Cartman spending time with his pets (Mr. Kitty and/or Fluffy the pig) to portraying Cartman as an animal, furry, or kemonomimi.

Day 3 \| Fighting / Scheme
★ Fighting - This guy will fight with anyone, so let’s see it! It could be a fight between Cartman and a known rival like Kyle or Wendy, or a fight with his mom, the school, the government, the world!
★ Scheme - He’s always scheming, this one… This prompt can be dedicated to a plot he’s already devised on the show, or a brand new nasty trick from your imagination.

Day 4 \| Family / Fate
★ Family - Cartman and family! Liane, Scott Tenorman, a bowl of chili, Post COVID Cartman with his wife and kids, or your own AU family/fankids!
★ Fate - What this prompt means is up to your interpretation. The fate of Cartman’s future, the red string of fate with your favorite ship… There is no wrong answer!

Day 5 \| Valentine’s Day / Alter-ego
★ Valentine’s Day - Today is Valentine’s Day, and we picked this week to dedicate to our favorite matchmaker because of it! Is his day as wonderful as he always hoped? Or a complete disaster? You decide!
