[elveswithoutborders]

Hello elven fans! Elves Without Borders is on indefinite hiatus due to lack of interest.  We hope to come back sometime in the future bigger and better, but as a Zine this time! This will take time and planning and we are currently seeking mods to help bring the Zine to life. There is no expected date at the moment. Apologies for any inconvenience, and we hope to be back here again one day to celebrate our favorite elves!

Do you main elves?

Do you simp for pointy-ear bois?

Then Elves Without Borders is the event for you!

Elves Without Borders is a free, low-stress fanwork event about crossovers between elves from different fandoms! The goal of the event is to celebrate our favorite elven characters by creating fanworks where elves meet and interact across fandoms! For example: How would Thranduil react to meeting Dobby? What if the Dragon Age elves ran into the Witcher elves on a quest? What if your DnD half-elf worked as a Christmas Elf for a day?

Like the idea? Create something for it!

No sign-ups necessary! Elves Without Borders is open to creators of all ages and skill levels, and all submissions will be reblogged to remain on this account for all of us to admire! Submissions can be (but are not limited to): Fanart, fanfiction, ficlets, snippets, crafts, cosplay, comics, edits, manips— anything your creative heart desires!

The only rule is that your piece must depict a crossover of elves (or elf-like characters) from minimum two (2) different fandoms! However you do that is up to you! Simply tag @elveswithoutborders​ and #Elves Without Borders in your post and we’ll reblog it as long as it follows the guidelines!

Interested? The event runs from NOW to March 1st 2021! See the full Guidelines and Schedule here!

Guidelines are simple! Anyone can join regardless of age or skill level, no sign-ups necessary! All artwork, fics, and any other creative works will be reblogged on the @elveswithoutborders​ Tumblr provided they follow these guidelines.

1) The characters must be elven or elf-like in appearance. They don’t necessarily have to be classified as an ‘elf’ race. This can include (but is not limited to): Half-elves, Hilians, Gelflings, Christmas elves, etc. Please send a DM or Ask if you’re unsure if a character fits!

2) Remember: The aim of the event is to make a crossover between elves of different fandoms. How you interpret that is completely up to you! By “fandom”, we mean series or universe, such as Lord of the Rings, DnD, The Witcher, etc.

3) You can include as many elf characters and fandoms as you want! If you can show a crossover with a single character, go for it! For example, drawing Lotor dressed as a MoonShadow elf would be a valid crossover using only one character, as it includes two different fandoms.

5) You must hashtag all entries with ‘#Elves Without Borders’ AND tag this account @elveswithoutborders​ so we can reblog your post!

6) This is an all-ages event, NSFW pieces will not be shared on this account.

7) There is no limit to how many entries you can create for EWB or how long any written work is!

Event Opens: Now!

Submission Posting Start Date: From Dec 1st 2020 (EWB will start reblogging from the date the first submission is posted)

Soft Deadline for Submissions: Feb 1st 2021

Hard Deadline for Submissions (Event Closes): March 1st 2021

Any submissions posted after March 1st are not guaranteed to be reblogged by EWB. We will search for any late submissions and reblog those that have not been reblogged, but we cannot guarantee that late entries will be noticed!

Come join our quest!

What is Elves Without Borders?

Elves Without Borders is an open event with the purpose of sharing and celebrating fanworks that involve fandom crossovers between elf characters.

Is this a contest with a prize?

Elves Without Borders is an open and free event that is low-stress and does not have any contest or competition aspects. There is no winner and no prize, but every entry that tags #Elves Without Borders and @ElvesWithoutBorders and follows the guidelines will be reblogged on the Elves Without Borders Tumblr account to showcase to anyone following the event!

Is there a word count limit on fanfic?

There is no word limit on written submissions. It can be as long or short as you want!

How many times can we enter?

You can make as many fanworks for the event as you want!

Can I submit an older piece that I made previously?

As long as it followers the guidelines, yes! Make sure to tag us so we can see it!

Can we include our OCs?

You can definitely include your elven OCs! However, we do ask that the OC is from the universe of an already-existing fandom or series, such as a DnD OC, a Baldur’s Gate OC, a Lord of the Rings OC, etc. Please be sure your submission still follows the Guidelines and the fandom crossover theme of the event.

Are half-elf characters allowed?

Yes!

What about characters that look like an elf but aren’t technically ‘elves’?

Absolutely! As long as the character has the appearance of an elf or is clearly based on the traditional lore of an ‘elf’, you can include them! For example, characters such as Zelda, Link, Lotor, and Gelflings are not canonically ‘elves’ but their appearances are inspired by elves.

Can we make other crafts like a knitting or weaving pattern?

Please do! Any artform counts as long as it follows the guidelines as an elven crossover

This is a great idea! Why not make it a zine?

If Elves Without Borders gets enough participation and submissions, a zine could be considered for the future! For now, we want everyone to have to be able to join and have fun with the theme.

Will this be a Big Bang or Bingo or other event?

If we have enough participation and a zine is out of the picture, a Big Bang or Bingo could be possible for next year.
