Dimension 20's Fanfic Masquerade: Part 3
Hello! Welcome to the intro post for the D20FM:3!
Please join our discord here to officially sign up as a writer!
First, some background on how this event works!
Join the discord to “sign up”! You must be in the discord to participate in this event as most announcements will move over there once the event starts. 1a. No actual sign up required, just simply join the discord and follow the server’s instruction. 1b. Please link your Tumblr and AO3 accounts in our #heres-my-card channel!
Write a fic however you want! The idea is to hide your identity and not make the fic super identifiable as your style, however you're not bound by strategy. Hiding in plain sight can also work.
Submit your fic(s) to the collection! A link to this will be posted in the discord when it becomes time.
Fill out the guessing form once it comes out to see how well you know your fellow writers' style. This is not required, so please let a mod know if you do not plan on guessing. Please also only submit the form if you are seriously guessing.
Reveals will happen! A mod will reveal your fic through the collection on the day of the reveals. Do not reveal your own fic.
Feel free to comment on and kudos the fics AFTER reveals! This must be done after the reveals as to not reveal yourselves. Because of the AI scraping being done on unlocked fics, people have been locking their fics now more than ever. You cannot anonymously comment or kudos on a locked fic. In the meantime, before reveals, show all your love for the fics in the threads on the discord. Each fic will have their own thread for organization purposes. 6a. By commenting and/or giving a fic kudos you will reveal you did not write that particular fic. Please be sure that you do not comment or kudos the fic before reveals.
A definition of a fanfic masquerade, by someone other than me, can be found here.
Schedule:
3 May @ 12:00 am EST: Posting week begins! Please keep in mind that a mod might have to approve your fic to be added in the collection
9 May @ 11:59 pm EST: Posting week ends. All fics must be posted by this time. If your fic is not posted to the collection by this time, it unfortunately cannot qualify for the event.
10 May @ 12:00 am EST: Guessing week starts.
16 May @ 11:59 pm EST: Guessing week ends. Guesses must be in at this time.
17 May: Reveals Day!
Rules:
Fics must be in English.
Fics must be original. This means you can't add to a series of works you have already posted. This doesn't mean you can't add onto it after reveals. If you've already started on a fic before the event started, and it hasn't been posted about, feel free to use it for this event!
Fics must be posted to the collection. This collection will be marked as anonymous by a mod. Do not mark it as anonymous yourself.
A mod will handle the reveals. Do not reveal your fic(s) yourself.
You are allowed to post multiple fics for this event.
Some pointers on how to conceal your identity for the event!
Do the opposite of what you'd normally do
Do the exact same as what you'd usually do (reverse psychology!)
Pretend to be someone else / drop some fake tells
Write something so "out there" that no one would ever think it was you
You're a new writer, so this is your chance to get people familiar with your style! Just write how you usually would!
