I actually can't believe it's been three years now.
This is a thread for a Secret Santa contest, a sort of fic exchange, in which members may anonymously submit ideas or premises, and later receive another's premise in turn to write in exchange. Rather than be scored by a set of judges, instead, all the fics will be posted and the community gets to vote for which of their fics were their favorite. Most of the details remain the same as last time, except this will use pools like the previous two contests.
Yes, this is copy-pasted from last time, as will the rest of the OP. Same deal as usual.
For the Santa exchange, there will be no theme, and any genre may be submitted.
A General Summary:
- Participants will submit their prompts, three per participant. PM them to me.
- Once the deadline's up, participants are then given another user’s prompts to write for. Of the three, you may choose one to write in exchange. You can write more than one, but the idea here is to give more freedom of choice to the receiver, in the case where if they don’t like one prompt, they won’t be stuck with that
- Up until the writing deadline is up, participants send their fics to me. Once the deadline's up, all the fics will be posted anonymously into one megathread.
- The community (so, not only limited to participants, even non-fic writers may participate) may then vote on their most favorite fics out of all the submissions, rather than use formal judging. At the end, points are tallied and a winner is declared.
Rules and Guidelines:
- Participants that submit ideas must write an idea in turn. This can't quite be enforced, but don't try to mooch a free fic off this contest and not even bother try write anything in turn. If you find yourself unable to finish in time, a half-done fic is better than no fic at all. If you have previously entered an exchange contest and have not turned anything in on your end, you cannot enter until you do.
- On a less harsh note, don't be pressured to make your fics like 20k word epics. Shorter drabbles, like only 1-2k words, will be just fine.
- Similarly, try keep your submitted fic pitches flexible. Please don't try request super long fics, or prompts so specific you pretty much wrote the fic yourself already, and try to keep one-shot or drabble ideas in mind. We don't have much time to write, so please be considerate of others.
- TYPE-MOON fics/premises only. Don't request crossovers, even if one side is TYPE-MOON. This is mostly for fairness, so that people won't find themselves writing, say, a Blazblue crossover when they can't be expected to have any Blazblue knowledge.
- Not a rule, but it may help to note what parts of the Nasuverse one is familiar with, and what works they've consumed enough to be comfortable writing. It'd be bad for everyone if people got pitches that they know nothing about. Similarly, if there are prompts that people don't feel comfortable writing, you can request to avoid them.
Pitched ideas will be displayed publicly here, so you have time to think before pitches are distributed.
Submitted Prompts
The prize, as usual will go to the author of the winning fic, and may be either an illustration of their fic, or of another fic of their choice. An addendum to this will be that prize illustrations may only be of a single scene, and up to three characters (any more at my discretion).
Pools are closed. Fics are to be submitted by 12/24, 11:59 PM EST.
. Beat the arcade/story mode, Go home(?). Every time you game over, you have to restart the fight you're at. To win a match, you have to win two games out of three. Every game is 2 rounds to win. Round 1, Fight!
