To participate in this round, you can submit as many pieces of fanwork for your ship as you want, and your team will be awarded points based on the fanworks you have collectively submitted.
Submissions open: 4 August
Deadline: 11 August
- Each team must submit their entries to the esomain Dreamwidth community in the form of ONE post that collects everyone's creations. The submission format must be followed (see below). It is the team captain’s responsibility to make this post or ensure someone else makes it. To collaborate on it easily, we suggest using Google Drive.
- Any team not following the rules or the submission format will be disqualified from the round until they fix the issue.
Content Guidelines
- Types of work:
- Any kind of creative fanwork is allowed—art, fanfiction, meta, fangames, videos, cosplay, cooking, music, edits... as long as it wasn't published anywhere before the round started.
- What counts as one work: For example, one image or one fanfiction (regardless of length or number of chapters). Comics and other sequential art forms (even just two illustrations that read sequentially) are counted as one work. A mixed media project will still count as 1 work. Similarly to in Round 2, if multiple people create connected works we'll count this as multiple fills (e.g. if one person writes something and the other illustrates it, that would count as 2 works) but a single collaborative piece only counts as 1 work. Please contact the mods if you are unsure about an idea.
- R18 fanworks are not allowed.
- You do not need to respond to the prompts, they are simply there for inspiration.
- Extra text within the post is encouraged, e.g. to caption artwork and credit the creator.
- You are encouraged to cross-post works to your preferred social media and/or AO3 once the round has started, and provide a link underneath your entry so people can give your work some extra attention if they like it.
