Then & Now is a fest for the All For The Game fandom, accepting fic, art (any medium!) and podfic.
Our only requirement is that your creations focus on canonverse (either before and during the original timeline — “Then” — or post-canon — “Now”). Otherwise it’s entirely up to you what pairing or pairings (or none at all — your creations don’t have to feature romantic/sexual pairings at all) you want to feature, what length/medium and what rating you want to go for.
Have you ever wanted to see a scene from the books from a different POV? Have you ever wanted to know more about a scene that Neil glosses over completely? Or find out what a side character is up to when Neil is too focused on whatever Andrew is doing? Or do you wonder what happens five years on, ten years on, twenty years on? This is your chance! We want your Renison that fits in the gaps of what Neil doesn’t see, your Kandrew that existed well before Neil arrived in SC, your Andreil moving in together after going pro, we want your Stuart/Ichirou after the Butcher’s death, and your Abby/Wymack seeing all their children fly out of the coop (den?) and make their own lives post-canon.
We’re starting off with a prompting period where you can leave whatever ideas you have for fics and art — even if you’re not creating for the fest yourself!
As a creator, you can pick an idea off that list and claim it later on, or you can sign-up with your own idea!
There is no minimum word count for fics, but posting will be anonymous so we ask you not to publicly share major identifying details (title, pairing, summary, length, etc.) before reveals although sharing (redacted or not plot-heavy) snippets is encouraged, and we will be retweeting/reblogging those on the fest accounts :)
Please remember too that due to the contents of a lot of the fandom creations and the themes of the books we are a +18 fest!
We can’t wait to see what everyone makes, and we hope everyone has a ton of fun prompting and creating!
Marion, Nikki, Róisín, and Rory
