Hypersoft Fest 2024 how does it work?
some people might be new to tumblr or tumblr fest specifically so, to make it a little easier on those confused here's a full layout of how the fest will work!
----------------------------------
basics about fests:
a fest is made to encourage both community and creation in a certain community, a group of creators come together to make up themes, prompts, ideas and anything around that to encourage others to make and follow those themes!
we have come together as a group of writers and graphic designers who want to bring these two groups together and get them to work closer together!
our ideas and how it will work
we're going to do that through prompts and themes, these prompts and themes have been selected by both you and us, they will be able to be interpreted by both creators and writers.
what it will also mean is that both writers and designers will be making and writing stuff around the same theme and so you might get inspired by people's writing or posters to respond.
for example, the prompt is 'historical fiction' and a writer makes a little summary about a historical fiction movie that inspires a graphic designer to make the poster for that non existent movie!
timeline:
the fest itself will run for 8 weeks, in total from August 1st until September 28th.
different prompts and aside from this first week the themes will be posted every Sunday. sometimes these will have assets like pngs and palettes added to challenge graphic designers, or literary tropes added to challenge the writers.
if you are unable to finish a prompt before the next one is out that is absolutely no problem, late posts are always okay.
if anything is ever late or you don't feel inspired by the new prompts that is completely okay, this is all for fun you're allowed to pick and choose which prompts you do and don't enjoy.
how to post:
you can post however in whatever way you like your post layout to look BUT we do recommend adding the theme/prompt to the description and mentioning us in your caption. for example:
"@hypersoft-fest week 1: historical fiction"
and then continuing with the fic or just keeping it like that with your graphic design above it.
the tag that we will be following as the fest creators is '#hypersoftfest.creations' if you use this tag we will reblog your post to this blog!
how to interact:
we encourage people to work together with ideas and collab, you're always welcome to send messages and connect your own ideas to another person's creation!
in addition to that we have created a discord server
HYPERSOFT FEST DISCORD
this server is meant to be a place for people to see each other's work, see any and all announcements first, plan any collabs when you see someone else's creation and want to work together or just see some inspiration and find resources!

lasty, any and all questions are always welcome to be asked through our inbox and we hope you enjoy these two months and find some work and inspiration in this fest!
