Hello, hello, hello!
Since there was some interest for a fanart-only masquerade on the last poll we ran and some people actually mentioned they'd have done something for the all-inclusive masquerade if they'd had the time, here you go, now's your chance! I want to see everyone participating, so go ahead and bully your favorite artists, hehe.
Reminder that this is a fanart-only event, so no fics this time. Also, sadly things like photo edits, graphics and gifs are not accepted for this kind of event, since there's no "trace" of the artists for the fans to try to guess who made what.
Quick recap: the artists will post their fanart anonymously on AO3. Posting will be done up to the end of February and the fanarts will be revealed on March 1st. Fans will have two weeks to attempt to guess who made what (less time because there's no reading required). Artists are encouraged to try to fool everyone!
Details after the read more, but don't forget to please spread the word.
Requirements
There are no requirements for art, as long as it's not an edit (and obviously, not AI).
I don't know what to write/draw about!
Try https://artprompts.org/ for some ideas!
Sign-ups
Signing-up is required and can be done here up to February 27th. For this event, sign-ups can be done up at the time of posting. Unlike other events, this is one where you will need to sign-up only at the end, after the fanwork is done. You'll be required to add your AO3 username and the title of your fanwork.
What if I don't have an AO3 account?
Then I'm very sorry, but in this case, you won't be able to participate (as a creator). For this event, having an AO3 account is mandatory so that you can post in the collection. That being said, a lot of people have AO3 invites, so ask right now and someone may be able to send you one.
Posting
Posting will be done on AO3 and AO3 only! This is because the Masquerade Collection will be unrevealed and anonymous. All posting must be done until February 27th. On March 1st, all fanarts will be revealed. (The one day difference is to ensure that everyone has posted before I reveal them.) The fanworks will remain anonymous until March 16th, when the game ends and the artists' identities will be disclosed (and your fanwork will appear under your account just like any other).
As an artist, all you have to do is, when posting on AO3, choose to do it under the Gallavich Fanart Masquerade 2026 Collection (info below). I'll take care of the rest. It's important to do so when posting and not after, or it won't work. You can go to My Works > Works in Collections to confirm that it worked.
There are two ways of posting directly to the Collection. The easiest one is opening the collection page and choosing Post to Collection.
The other way is, when posting, choosing the collection under the tab Associations > Post to Collections/Challenges.
Voting
Voting will be done via a new form, which will be disclosed only after the fanworks are posted. All titles will be displayed and fans will choose from a menu who they think the artist is. Voting is mandatory in all three guesses. If you don't know who to vote for, just take a guess. Also, you might as well guess three different creators to increase your chances, even if you think you're sure who it is.
Points
There are two ways of winning this game: as an artist and as a fan.
Artists are awarded 1 point for each person who correctly guesses their fanart on the first try, 2 for correct second guesses, 3 for correct third guesses and 7 points for each person who wrongly guesses it (that is, matches three different creators to your fanwork). That's right, you get more points if you're actually able to deceive everyone.
Fans are awarded 5 points for each fanwork they guess correctly on the first guess, 3 for each correct second guess and 1 for each correct third guess (obviously the points are only awarded once, so there's no need to guess the same work more than once).
Artists can also be fans, so they have twice the chance of winning. There will be separate winners for artists and writers as well.
Prizes
Winners will get boasting rights! XD Plus, of course, a special post for them.
If anyone would like to make fics (or more fanart or edits...) for the winners, please let me know, that would be super nice!
1. If you've created a fanwork for the Masquerade, fanart included, this is your reminder to change the posting date to today. It's not mandatory, but it'll help show your work in the latest ones when revealed.
2. Yes, fanarts are participating. Someone who I can't credit at the moment have the great idea of including in the voting options people who didn't participate this time, so that's what we're going with.
3. We're still having a fanart-only Masquerade in February, since there was interest in it in the poll. So start preparing your works already, I'll make a post about it in the next few days.
4. I'm revealing the works 3 hours from now. See you then! šš»
This year we only have three fanarts for the Masquerade, which sadly means it wouldn't be much of a challenge to guess who made what.
I'm trying, along with the artists who made them, to gauge what's best to do.
We could postpone the Masquerade a bit longer, or even post only the fics now and have a fanart-only Masquerade later, like we did for the first year. But if the result will be the same three participating only, I don't see the point.
So, poll time.
Would you participe of a fanart Masquerade (likely in February, but TBD)?
Yes, absolutely
I would do one now, if given a few days
I'm an artist, but not interested
Not an artist, just want to vote (then help us spread the word!)
