FAQ #BIPOCtober Week (October 13-20) for Audio Drama
We'll edit this as we get asked more questions!
What will you do during the week?
We'll be doing feature posts! We'll make posts about 1-2 audio dramas per day depending on how many we collect in our list. We'll be mentioning their titles and summaries, where to find them, their creators, etc.
We also plan to do mini-features for BIPOC creators and characters who aren't from BIPOC majority shows.
We'll also be sharing posts from the tag itself by fans spotlighting their own faves :)
What can I do to take part in the event?
If you are a BIPOC creator or BIPOC majority show, feel free to get in touch to get featured or mini-featured. For those who have already reblogged or messaged about your show, we've added you to our list. We'll post our list right before the start of the week so people can see if they aren't there; we can edit and add them. If you are a fan of a BIPOC character, creator, or show, you can make fanart, fanfiction, posts, and other fan creations to celebrate this character. Use the #BIPOCtober hashtag to share it with others on Tumblr. You may even share it on other platforms; however, we'll only be sharing posts on Tumblr. We won't be sharing any posts marked with adult content or warnings; though we welcome their inclusion (as long as they have proper warnings, read mores, and other safety measures!)
Some ideas other than fanart or fanfiction:
Sims characters, dressup dolls, or picrews
Compilation videos of your favourite moments
Memes or silly powerpoint presentations
Just a full (positive) rant on why you think xyz show or character or creator deserves more love
Can I take part in the week if I'm not BIPOC?
As a fan, yes :) Make that art, make that fanfic, go wild!
I am a BIPOC creator but work on a White majority show. May I still have a feature?
Yes of course! Our main features will spotlight BIPOC led/majority shows, but we will happily do mini features on specific creators and characters, even if they come from a White majority show.
Can I spotlight BIPOC characters from popular and/or White majority shows?
Absolutely! Give them love, show your appreciation! We just won't feature them since we're mostly trying to spotlight smaller or medium shows that need more appreciation and attention :)
Can I spotlight characters with no established race that I headcanon as BIPOC?
No. We're aiming to spotlight canonically BIPOC characters, shows, creators. However; if the VA is BIPOC or there are evident narrative elements strongly implying / pointing out that the character is BIPOC, feel free to share!
