So let’s cook up a little something together!

Pinto de Mayo is the annual day of Pinto celebration, commemorating when Chris visited NYC
in 2010 and on the 5th of May
was

famously caught on camera with Zach
strolling around together like two fools in love

walking

down the street as friends often do!

Last year caught me unprepared, with no fic ready to post.  But this year I’m going to try my best to have something on hand to celebrate the actual day. Soooo I figured I would give you all a nudge as well, in case you wanted a reminder to figure out some kind of a Pinto thing to post before we hit May 5.

This is the most low-key thing ever – there are no requirements, no specific challenge.  It’s just an opportunity to spread the wordplay as foreplay love!

If you’re new to shipping Pinto, maybe on the edges of the Pinto fandom, or even a Pinto shipper from way back who has been looking for an excuse to dive back in, this Pinto de Mayo would be a great chance to connect with your Pinto love and the Pinto fandom!

Contributions can be super easy – come up with a drabble or ficlet, make a quick graphic, or write a short declaration of why you think Pinto is so very awesome.  You can even just queue up great posts by other Pinto fans to celebrate!  Or, why not, grab your pal and use his muscular back to jot down a couple of headcanons for us all to read!

If you want to go big and do something a little splashier, like say write a longer fic, draw Pinto fanart or
a short

fan comic, create a meta post with
links to the best Pinto interviews, or give us all a list of your favorite Pinto
fanart or fanfics, that would be fantastic too!  I can promise you Pinto fans out there would be thrilled if you decide to get a little ambitious!

But seriously, anything you want to share on this upcoming Pinto de Mayo will be terrific! 

I’ll be posting periodic reminders of the approaching day, and I’ll tag them all #pinto de mayo 2017 so you can block if you want, or track that tag for encouragement and building anticipation!

The spring weather here keeps reminding me it’s always springtime!  And so as we get closer to the actual day, it’s always time to think up a little something-something for the upcoming Pinto De Mayo! 

For those of us looking for a little nudge for our contributions, @semperama created a great Pinto de Mayo prompts post for potential fics (and hey, why not, probably useful for potential fanart and other offerings too)!  If you’re looking for a little inspiration, check out the awesome replies and reblogs to that post to get started!

Just a reminder that it’s nearly May, so you can officially start working yourself into a frenzy for the upcoming Pinto De Mayo! 

Another reminder: fic writing,
art

creating, graphic making, and meta devising and gleeful reblogging are all awesome!  You can check out the earlier part of this post if you’re wondering what you could do and looking for a nudge, and if you’d like a prompt to spur you on, visit the prompt post mentioned above. 

But you don’t have to do anything for Pinto De Mayo, so don’t stress yourself out.  The main thing is to turn up and to celebrate with the rest of us!  After all, you never know what you’ll come across that day!

See you all on May 5th!
