Good Timezone Time Everyone!!
First of all, we want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! to everyone who applied to be on the moderation team, as well as to those who filled out the interest check. The turn out has been astonishing, and both of the admins are absolutely stoked to see how many people are excited for the event!!
We've been talking it over, and have decided to split the event into two distinct groups, as to insure that as many people as possible can join in the celebration of our favorite space boy crossover pairing!!!
Participating Vs. Contributing
These are the terms we'll be using to describe the two different ways to engage with this event, each with specific parameters and different requirements. This post is to explain everything that YOU will need to know about how to join (and don't worry, this will be our new pinned post!)
So, what's the difference between participating and contributing?
Participants are the main creators for the event. These are the people who will be sorted into teams with 1 writer, 1 artist, and 1-2 beta readers, all working towards the same fanwork.
Requirements of being a participant:
- Filling out the application form (don't worry, this is primarily for administrative purposes)
- Joining the discord server
- Posting work to the Ao3 collection at the end of the event
- adhere to the event's rules
Contributors have far less requirements and will not be working on teams, unless you choose to work with a buddy. Contributors will have the option to post their work alongside the event, while not directly participating in it.
Requirements of being a contributor:
- Posting a bloodymary centric fanwork to a designated Ao3 additional tag at the time of the event's end
That's it. You don't have to be 18+ or work with others (unless you want to, and coordinate it yourself) in order to still engage with the event and celebrate our space blorbos. An important note for contributors: your work will not be featured in the Ao3 collection, as the collection is for the participants only and will be facilitated through the discord. Your work will, however, be discoverable through the event's specific additional tag in Ao3's tagging system. A follow up post with instructions will be made closer to posting day, don't worry :>
So what will it all look like when it's said and done?
- an Ao3 collection full of participant team fanworks
- an NSFW specific Ao3 collection of participant team fanworks
- an event specific Ao3 Additional tag, tagged on contributor works made to be posted alongside the event
Any further questions can be directed towards our ask box!!
