Milo Ship Fest

Milo Ship Fest is a Scorpio Milo-centric annual Saint Seiya event. All pairings are welcome, as long as they feature Milo, regardless of their popularity or whether they're het, slash or femslash (this last one involves the female version of Milo seen in some Saint Seiya spinoffs). Any kind of content is also accepted, as long as it's properly tagged. Originally, the event ran for ten days, which were later extended to fifteen. After the third year, prompts were released in bingo format. Each day there's a different prompt that can be used to create content. Following the prompts is encouraged but not mandatory. All info posts are shared in English and Spanish.
All content created for Milo Ship Fest is featured in the event's blog. There's also a Fanfiction.net community that compiles all the fanfiction published on that website and an AO3 tag for the event.
