Welcome to the April Challenge:
One Team to Rule Them All
Hi all! We're excited to share our April challenge - One Team to Rule Them All!
This month we're challenging you to create content that is team-centric (we're referring to the SHIELD team, not the Earth/Space ones) and therefore focuses on the entire team as opposed to ships. Your works may focus on individual characters, so long as they explore that character's relationship with the team as a whole. As always, we encourage collaboration with your team members - this would be a great challenge to divide and conquer on!
Just as a reminder, April is our last month of EvS. We've felt so privileged to get to share this experience with you all and are so looking forward to see what you come up with for this final, greatest challenge. If you have any questions about this challenge, feel free to send us an ask!
hey :) would it be possible for non evs people to participate in the luck of the draw? I'd like to but I am not part of it :( Yall are doing an amazing job so far!
Reblog this post to ask your followers to test their luck of the draw! Have them send you a 🤞 and flip a coin to decide which of the following your follower gets:
🍀: you land on Heads, your follower is lucky! They receive something from you! What that is, you decide – maybe even say what you’re offering when you reblog ;)
🥀: If you land on Tails, your follower is unlucky! Give them a small challenge – something like creating a moodboard or writing a bit on their WIP.
Don’t forget to open your askbox! Also, feel free to mention how often your followers are able to test the luck of the draw with you. :)
Hi all! Hope you started your year off right - we’ve been loving seeing all the amazing content y’all are creating and all the gifts you’ve been giving in the spirit of our season of giving. Even though our December/January challenge is over we hope you continue to carry the spirit of giving with you. :)
We’re excited to share our February challenge - Something Extra. This year we have a bonus day in February, so we’re challenging you to create some bonus content! Whether this is a missing scene in canon or even a missing scene from a fic you’ve posted, create content that adds to canon or a fic. If you have any questions about this challenge, feel free to shoot us an ask!
Hello participants and Happy New Year! We, the mods, have been so amazed by all of the efforts you all have put into this challenge so far. Your works have been fantastic and we cannot wait to see what you come up with in 2020!
With the new year comes some news for all of you.
Leading Team: First order of business, we wanted to give you a little insider information on who is leading the challenge. Although at the end of the day this event is meant to be fun and bring our fandom together, it is a competition! So...who’s in the lead?
Drum roll, please! @teamspaceaos is ahead, but only by just a little bit (the exact point difference will not be revealed until the end of the challenge). @teamearthaos, do not despair! There’s still plenty of time left in the challenge to zoom past your competitors (besides, aren’t we all winners with all of this amazing content?)
Points: We are pleased to announce some tweaks to the point system. After much consideration and review of the challenge thus far, we have made the below changes to the way points for fics are totaled. Please be sure to update your points from here on out accordingly:
True Drabble (100 or less) - 2 points
Drabble (101-500) - 5 points
Ficlet (501-1000) - 10 points
Fic (1k-2.5k) - 30 points
Fic (2.5k-4k) - 40 points
Fic (4k-5.5k) - 50 points
Fic (5.5k-7.5k) - 65 points
Fic (7.5k-10k) - 75 points
Fic (10k+) - 100 points
Each additional 1k words beyond 10k - 10 points
Inactive Members: Shortly, you will be receiving a notice from one of the mods letting you know that you have until February 6th to create work and submit the points. Those who do not participate by that date will be removed from the challenge.
As always, please do not hesitate to ask us questions. If we do not have an immediate answer, we will discuss the question and get back to you. We hope you all are enjoying this event and we cannot wait for more AoS content!
<3 The Mods
P.S. We are leaping with excitement to share the February challenge with you (stay tuned)!
Just a quick reminder to participants that if you add points to your total after a week has ended, you must notify the mods (preferably Al/@bobbimorseisbisexual, since they’re the one doing point totals at the moment). Otherwise the mod’s official point sheet becomes inaccurate, which is (needless to say) a bad thing. We don’t mind adding points after the week is over - sometimes life happens and you have to put them in late - but we do need to be told!
Hi all! The Geminids Shower Exchange has finished! Thank you all for your participation, and special thanks to @bunnykaye for the beautiful banner. If you’re interested in seeing the works from the shower you may have missed, they’re all below the cut, and the mods are working on putting an AO3 collection together. Thanks again!
A Bad Axe Birthday by @maos2013 - Philinda - It's Daisy's 30th birthday, and Melinda gives her an unexpected birthday gift.
and every time we touch by @apathbacktoyou - Maida - six times melinda and aida don't hold hands and one time they do.
Another Night, Another Fight by @soulofevil - Quakerider - When Daisy gets hurt trying to shut down a group of Watchdogs, Robbie drives in to help her out.
Birds Fly in Different Directions by @ready-to-kick-some-ass - Fitzskimmons - Everything is a mess. Skye wants her best friends back. But Fitz is changed and Simmons left. While Skye is helping Fitz something happens and it forces her to face what she's actually feeling for both her friends ... It's complicated.
Close Enough to Feel the Flames by @libbyweasley - Quakerider - Daisy keeps running into Robbie Reyes when she is chasing down bad guys. They eventually become friends...and maybe something more.
here we are as in olden days by @bobbimorseisbisexual - Bus Kids - Jemma and Fitz ask Skye to join in on their tradition of baking Christmas cookies together.
i’ll be there for you by @besidemethewholedamntime - Fitzsimmons - On a blind date with Fitz, Jemma suddenly becomes unwell and has to leave. On the car journey home they get to know each other.
mulled wine and mistletoe by @the-nerdy-stjarna - Fitzsimmons - Prompt: Fitzsimmons Family Fluff, maybe them going to a Christmas Market or something like that.
music to my ears by @springmagpies - Fitzsimmons - It's Jemma's first day at her new job and she very much just wanted a cup of tea to start her day. However, along with her tea she also begins to here her Soul Song, the melody that matches her Soul Mate. Will she ever find the notes that match her own?
she whispered her name as if the suns and stars could never compare by @the-dc-killjoy - Pipsy - Piper thought she was perfectly fine relationship-wise, but a year long trip in space might change that. AKA the one where Piper pines, Daisy freezes up, and they (try to) figure it out.
simmons needs to stop by @lnhumanity - Fitzsimmons - Simmons feels under the weather, and Fitz attempts to help.
some people are worth melting for by @bobbimorseisbisexual - Huntingbird - The first winter after being disavowed feels wrong, and Bobbi's not sure how to make it feel right again.
Stargazing by @ellsey - Fitzsimmons - Jemma Simmons has the perfect plan to watch the Geminids meteor shower all alone. The universe appears to have very different plans for her.
the innocent flower and the serpent under’t by @rathxritter - Fitzsimmons - A detective AU.
the shortest distance by @loved-the-stars-too-fondly - Mackelena - In a world where you can feel your soulmate's emotions as if they were your own, your consciousness is truly the shortest distance between the two of you.
There Was Only One... by @agentofship - Jemma Simmons has the perfect weekend planned. Getting away from London and her ex to watch the spectacular Geminid meteor shower and reconnect with nature. But apparently, the universe has decided otherwise and maybe it's not the worst thing after all.
too many hands by @florchis - Maydaisy - May comes back from a mission to find Daisy trying to bake cookies. She helps.
tracing our way through the constellations by @agentmmayy - Philinda - On a cold December night, Phil and Melinda stargaze.
Underneath the Stars by @tomatobookworm - Scis & Spies - Fitz is a seasoned agent. He can certainly handle a field mission on his own, with his mate Hunter providing (helpful?) commentary and advice in his ear. At least, so he thinks until he runs into unexpected company underneath the stars.
written in the stars by @accio-the-force - Fitzsimmons - Jemma Simmons had always been drawn to the stars. She supposed that was natural, as her life had been, quite literally, marked by them.
you are my electric girl by @everythinghappens-love - Fitzskimmons - "Fitz...you do understand that you are asking me out on a date...in front of your girlfriend?!"
Happy December! We know this time of year can be busy for everyone, so our December challenge will continue into January so everyone who wants to can participate.
This month’s challenge is A Season of Giving. In order to inspire this giving spirit, works that are gifts to another person will earn extra points. (For those participating, this includes your Geminids Shower gift!)
But wait, there’s more! We’ve set up a Google form you can fill out to let everyone know what your ideal gift would be. Have a fic you’ve always wanted to read, but don’t want to write yourself? What about a gif set idea, but no way to make gifs? Moodboards, playlists, fan videos – no wish is too big or too small! Even if you’re not participating in Earth vs Space, you’re welcome to submit a request. We’ll send out a spread sheet where all EvS participants can view the requests and make some dreams come true. Once a prompt has been filled it will be removed from the sheet to make room for more gifts! Works made with prompts off the Dream Sheet will also receive extra points.
As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, our ask box is open!
All assignments of the exchange are out. If you didn't receive an email that listed the name of your giftee, their prompt(s), their likes and dislikes, please email us ASAP letting us know.
Reminder: if you want to contact your giftee, please do it on anon.
As always, feel free to message us for further enquiries.
Hello EvS participants and the general AoS fandom! The EvS mods are excited to announce a mini event open to all (not just those participating in EvS).
In honor of the Geminids meteor shower taking place next month, we are hosting a mini exchange where you will be able to give and receive a small and sweet gift from a fellow AoS fan! So, what exactly does this mean?
Sign up today and we’ll pair you with a fellow AoS fan (preferences will be considered when we assign partners). Then, with a quick turnaround, we ask that you shower 😉 your partner with a gift that is small and sweet:
Accepted Works: We accept all sorts of fan-content, but find some specific guidelines below (never hesitate to ask us questions)
Written works should be 3k and under
Non-written works should be equivalent in effort and substance to a 3k work (if you have any questions while you’re creating your work, just send us an ask and we’d be happy to talk things out with you!
All exchange works must be tagged with: #Geminids Exchange
Deadlines:
Signups are open NOW through November 8
You’ll be assigned your giftee on November 9
Works will be given out on December 14
Those participating in EvS will receive points!
We hope you all are ready to shower one another with some gifts!
Hello teams! Thanks for an amazing first month of Earth vs Space. You know what a new month means, though – a new challenge!
This month’s challenge is designed to help you get to know your teammates a little better, by all working together to create a perfect work. What does perfect mean? Well, that’s up to you! Your team captains will be in touch with further details. We look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)
