Hello everyone! After last year’s success (and Team Human’s dramatic win at the hands of our own minor god) we’ve returned with new and improved version of the slightly less chaotic Phandom Phight.
Please note the ‘slightly,’ it’s a very important distinction.
Phic Phight is an event for Danny Phantom Fanfiction authors that is loosely inspired by Art Fight. In Art Fight, the participants are split into two teams, and score points for their team by drawing the opposing team’s OCs! We’ll be doing something similar.
Every participant will be able to create up to four prompts to enter and will be randomly assigned to either Team Human or Team Ghost. Team Ghost will have access to the prompts the members of Team Human wrote, and Team Human will have the same with Team Ghost’s prompts! You’ll get points with each fic you write, and whichever team has the most points at the end of the month wins!
(We also have a tumblr, @phicphight, if you want to check out the submissions from last year!))
Officially, Phic Phight will be from April 1st - 30th, 2020. You have until 11:59 pm PST on March 26 to join. After that, I’ll be in contact with everyone who’s joined with more information on their team and the prompts they’ll be working with.
For every 10 words you write of a prompt, you’ll get 1 point. For every fic you complete, you’ll be granted an additional 5 points. You can also write fics based on your own team’s prompts, however, you’ll only receive half of your eligible points for doing so.
This year, we’re also trying out something new - you’ll get points for commenting on other people’s fics! For each comment you leave on another person’s fic on Tumblr, FFN, or AO3, you’ll be able to receive 1 extra point!
We’ll be keeping track of which prompts have had the most fics, who’s written the most, and which team gets the most points!
What should our prompts look like?
Your prompts should be a brief, 1-4 sentence summary of a fic concept you like. You will be required to submit at least two, but can do up to four if you’d like.
Don’t worry about duplicates of ideas, but please be sure to include any ships or trigger warnings that apply at the end of your summary. AUs are fine as long as they are widely known and not another fandom au. For example, a coffee shop au would be fine, but a Buffy the Vampire Slayer AU would not.
Due to the controversy surrounded them, prompts where a minor and adult are shipped together are not permitted in this event. Prompts that crossover with another fandom, have a heavy focus on original characters, or AU prompts that rely on intense worldbuilding known only to the author that cannot be simplified to fit the summary limit are also not permitted. If there is a problem with one of your prompts, I’ll let you know and give you a chance to alter it.
We have an FAQ, where I give some more in-depth explanations about the specifics of this event in addition to example prompts. If you’re still confused, feel free to shoot me a message, here or @phicphight! ^-^
I like it! How do I join?
Fill out this form HERE. We’ll be in contact after the 26th with more information!
Aside from the Tumblr, we also have our own channel on the DP Fanfiction Palace Discord. You can access it easily by requesting the Phic Phighter role after you join! It’s the best place to be if you want quick access to any updates or changes in the rules! The link to it is right HERE!
Have a great day, everyone, and I hope to see you in the Phic Phight! <3
