TenMin Hub was a Twitter ship community for the rare pairing of SuperM's Taemin & Ten. They opened on November 8 2021[1] and closed in mid June 2022; their prompt archive was merged with SuperM Fest.
Background
TenMin Hub started as a community hub to bring together all TaemTen shippers whether they be consumers, authors, artists, video makers and more. Moderators were hinted to be one Taemin-biased SuperM stan, and one Ten-biased SuperM stan who both ship the two.
Events
#365IDEASwithTaemin
On November 9, the moderators celebrated the year anniversary of Lee Taemin's Idea by running the One Year with Idea Warm Up round for fic and art[2]. The AO3 collection for the event garnered two works - both by the same author.
the idea of home - a slice of life, canon compliant moving in story between the two - and - you are (killing me) - a break up angst fic
The event, however, received countless prompts on a Twitter thread.
It wasn't until after all this that an event image was made for the event - showing it had not been a planned event. [3]
The event, however, lead to the creation of the yet-to-be-canonised "Song: IDEA (Taemin)" AO3 tag with the tag being used by other authors after-the-fact.
Prompt Archive Creation
On November 11, their Prompt Archive - an open always Taemin/Ten prompt list - went live on Archive of Our Own[4]. Later on, on the same day, the moderators hinted at running translation events. [5]
"Incoming Mission from Hub Control", Carrd, and Fic Rec Event
TenMin Hub did prompt drives for their prompt archive via "missions from hub control"[6] - graphics that would ask people to come up with prompts for a specific theme or genre. These proved to be relatively popular resulting in sixteen prompts over time, with only three-five participants submitting prompts.
On November 13,[7] TenMin Hub posted their Carrd, promising plenty of content to follow with the set up.
On November 24, the #365IDEASwithTaemin event ended. [8]
On November 25, the mods opened up a community fic rec event, for readers to promote their favourite Taemin/Ten works. [9]
On November 28, the mods spoke up about receiving death threats and being suicide baited on anon, calling out the behaviour. [10]
Brief Hiatus, Disappearance and Mergence with SuperM Fest
On November 30, the mods reappeared, saying they would be going on with their fic rec as planned.[11] This was their last post of 2021.
After a hiatus, the Hub came back in January - on 13th January, they sought new moderators to take over the account. [12]
After disappearing again, on June 12, the TenMin Hub asked for permission to fuse the Prompt Archive with SuperM Fest's Prompt Archive and was given permission from all those that had submitted prompts. [13] The TenMin Hub AO3 account added the Hub's prompts to the SuperM Fest Prompt Archive on the same day.
On June 19th, TenMin Hub asked if people would still be interested in a ship week for Taemin/Ten. This received a 100% yes vote with 3 votes.[14] However, TenMin Hub never went through with this plan.
Later on the same day, TenMin Hub stated that their account would remain open to share TenMin event opportunities but would no longer be setting up their own events. [15]
On June 20th, TenMin Hub released a statement explaining that due to anonymous abuse, they would be closing down.[16] They stated they would remain on the account to share fest opportunities for TenMin shippers. After this announcement, they did share some shipping opportunities, but have not been publicly online since June 23 2022[17].
TenMin Hub prompts can be found both in their and SuperM Fest's Prompt Archive as of 26 December 2022.
