This is an unranked jam for kinky works featuring at least one (1) major character on the asexual spectrum (acespec). All acespec microlabels/identities welcome!
A Kinky Aces Bundle is planned for the second half of October to coincide with both Kinktober & Ace Week. Stay tuned for more details!
⚠️ If you plan to join the bundle but don't think your project will be complete before the end of the jam, you are welcome to submit a demo/teaser! We encourage you to include a target release date with these submissions.
🚫 Any project that makes use of generative AI/LLMs at any point in the process
🚫 Fan works* (no hate to fanart/fanfic! just not the focus of this jam)
*This restriction does NOT apply to public domain works, fairy tales, etc.
⚠️ Content Tags & Trigger Warnings are highly encouraged but not required. However, participants may NOT submit any projects that intentionally mislead the audience about sensitive/triggering content. For example, if you choose to include some content warnings but omit the fact that your project contains ero guro, then it is not welcome in this jam.
✅ All forms of media supported by the platform (games, comics, novels/shorts, audio dramas, TTRPGs, etc.)
✅ Solo creators & teams
✅ Any kinks*
✅ Original works
✅ Free, PWYW, and paid projects
✅ Multiple submissions
✅ Works completed prior to the start of the jam
*The jam hosts are not responsible for any works submitted that violate the platform's ToS.
Do I have to be asexual/identify on the asexual spectrum?
Nope! We're not here to gatekeep or out people, so we're not going to limit participants based on identity. THAT SAID, if you are not yourself acespec, you are encouraged to work with betas and/or sensitivity consultants who are acespec behind the scenes before submitting your projects.
Does my project have to explicitly include the word "asexual" (or another acespec identity)?
Nope! However, we would like some indication within the context of the work that your acespec character(s) is in fact acespec. Whether this is done through internal dialogue, interactions with other characters, exposition, reactions to certain scenarios, etc. is up to you.
Does my project have to include sex?
Nope! There are many aspects of kink culture that aren't inherently or solely sexual in nature, ergo projects that include non-sexual depictions of kink are very much welcome in this jam!
Do ALL the (major) characters have to be acespec?
Nope! Just a minimum of one major character. If your project includes multiple character options for a major role, as long as at least one of these is acespec, it qualifies for the jam!
Can I start working on my project before the jam starts?
Yup!
