Donro Week Dates and Prompt List
Donro Week 2023 will begin on July 23rd and end on July 29th.
Guidelines
Each day of the week will introduce a new prompt, for which you create your own Donro related pieces that match the theme. On the day of the prompt, we encourage you to post these works and tag the posts with the #donroweek2023 tag, along with @ing this blog so we can make sure we see it. You can prepare for these days in advance or work on them the day of. Additionally, each day will have an optional Question of the Day (QOTD) to spark discussion about the ship, ask about headcanons, or opinions.
All iterations of Donro are welcome! This means comics, DuckTales cartoons, and any other version you can think of (there was that one Paperinik game...).
Without further ado, here are the prompts!
Day 1 (July 23rd): Lazy Days
Gyro and Donald are both busy people with stressful lives. They deserve to take it easy and relax! So this day is for making these two have a lazy day! There are many silly and laid-back ways they could spend their day off together.
Optional QOTD: How do you think Donald and Gyro first met and become friends, then eventual partners?
Day 2 (July 24th): Conflict
The phrase "bickering like an old married couple" is so true for these two. Not to mention, Gyro and Donald are different from each other in many ways. From petty squabbling to a more serious disagreement, this is the day to introduce a bit of conflict to their relationship.
Optional QOTD: What qualities do Donald and Gyro get annoyed by or not like in each other?
Day 3 (July 25th): Boats
Donald Duck: a sailor, a former Navy officer, and, well, a duck! By design he has an affinity for water and boats. He might not be a sailor in every iteration, but he's wearing the uniform. Add Gyro into the mix and you've got two birds at sea... or maybe in a houseboat.
Optional QOTD: What is your favorite thing about Donald Duck?
Day 4 (July 26th): Invention Gone Wrong
Gyro Gearloose: a quirky inventor full of enthusiasm and a history of inventions going wrong. Perhaps he wanted to surprise Donald with an invention, but it has unintended effects. Maybe he can't quite work out a problem. Perhaps Donald is the one trying inventing out...
Optional QOTD: What is your favorite thing about Gyro Gearloose?
Day 5 (July 27th): Family
Family is important to both Gyro and Donald. Both love their respective nephews and Gyro is accepted as one of the Ducks. On this day, the focus is on Gyro, Donald, and their families.
Optional QOTD: How do you think the extended Gearloose and Duck family would react to their relationship?
Day 6 (July 28th): AU
To those of you who like to remix Donro, this is for you! Create something related to an alternate universe Donald and Gyro. It can be an existing AU or a brand new AU. If you aren't interested in AUs, this can be a free day-- a what-if scene that never happened in the comics or cartoons, Donald and Gyro as different animals, or whatever else you can think of!
Optional QOTD: Gyro and Donald from the comics and DuckTales are different. If you are used to the comics, what interests you about DuckTales Donro? If you are more used to the DuckTales cartoons, what interests you about comics Donro?
Day 7 (July 29th): Gift Day!
To end this event with a bang, this day is a little different. Rather than follow a prompt, instead create a Donro piece as a gift for another user! You could make a piece dedicated to your mutuals, create something inspired by fanfiction or fanart, do donro requests for this day, or do an art trade. It's up to you! Choose a friend, a stranger, or someone you admire in the donro community and create something special for them.
Optional QOTD: What Donro fanart, fanfic, or creator inspired you/do you recommend?
