hey i cant remember which nova i signed up for is there a way to check?

yeah, if you send us an ask with the url or email you used to sign up one of us can check for you!

[kh-supernova]

hi mods! sorry, i can't remember if i never sent in this question or if tumblr ate it, but is there anything in particular you guys want us to include in our summaries inso far as ratings, etc?

hey! seems like tumblr probably did eat it but that's okay - please include any relevant ratings/content warnings and any other info that you think would be helpful/necessary for an artist who might be considering choosing your entry. the level of detail of the summaries will of course vary but we ask that you do have at least enough such that the artists know the narrative shape and nature of the story they're working with.

[kh-supernova]

quick question about check ins entail? like what info would you like us to give and how ( i.e. are screenshots fine )? and if we’re not in the discord, would you prefer us to join and send it there, or would it be fine to send it here or via email?

Basically what the check-ins are will be you sending us information on how far you are with your writing. If you think you’ll be able to hit the deadline, how your summary is looking, things that are along those lines. If you have an outline or a summary done, you could send those. 

The non-necessary check-ins are mostly for us to make sure you’re working on stuff and not putting everything off to the last minute because this is a big project. 

For the required check-in, we would appreciate at least a small snippet of your work, a screenshot of your word-count, and/or your current working outline.

It would be completely fine to send things over email, that’s what we have the email set up for! You can email us at any time and we’ll try our best to get back to you as soon as we can. If you want to join the discord, that’s okay too, but we would actually prefer it be over email so we can more easily keep track of what we’re sent.

Hey, everyone! Just so you all know, the sign-up period for the smaller novas is over. If you signed up, you’ll be receiving an email or message soon to confirm this! You still have the 20th to sign up for the larger novas!

Thank you everyone for your interest and support!

[kh-supernova]

you don’t have to post this ask, but it would be helpful if the rules and dates posts were permanently linked in the header/made into dedicated pages with links in the header so they can be easily found

Hey! I only just now was able to go in the html for the description and get that in there, but I wanted to thank you for the message and let people know that the links are in the description now for ease of access. Sorry for any difficulty you may have had finding things up to now.

[kh-supernova]

Is there a cutoff date to sign up? I was less-than-confident in my ability to contribute when this event was announced, but now I think I might wanna give it a try.

Hey, there is but it's not until April 13th so if you want to sign up you still have more than enough time! Here's the rest of the dates if you need them:

Hi I'm sorry if this has been answered but are we allowed to write ships with two minors? I really want to do a Soriku fanfiction but I want to make sure it's okay but i couldn't find any rules.

Hey! Yeah ships with two minors are totally fine!

And the rules post is here in case you couldn't find it: https://kh-supernova.tumblr.com/post/183431248849/kingdom-hearts-supernova-rules-masterpost

Looking forward to working with you!

Can you please change the layout back to what it was? Or at least to something else? This is really difficult for people with vision problems, the text is too small and the all the same color makes everything blur together. There isn't enough contrast.

Absolutely! I’ve been messing with the theme a bit tonight, but if it’s hard to read, I’ll put it right back.

[kh-supernova]

Hi! Just wanted to extend some positivity your way, thank you all so much for doing this despite the lash back! I’m super excited to apply, especially knowing this will be a safe space, it’s honestly such a relief!

We’re doing everything we can to keep it safe for everyone and we’re certainly happy to have you ❤️❤️❤️

[kh-supernova]

Yeah the adult/minor and/or age gap thing is part of what I feel you’re being unnecessarily militant about. There’s nothing inherently dangerous about a 17&18yo dating, 16&18, or 17&19, for example. These people could all be in school together. Possibly even in some of the same classes. You’re turning loads of perfectly normal people’s relationships into things they apparently have to be ashamed of.

Again, this is about consistency and running an event with a hard set of rules. I am aware that there are edge cases, and no one is saying anyone has to be ashamed of anything with respect to those, considering they often have to be looked at on a case by case basis. However, I will repeat again, allowing one edge case through will in turn allow the people who want to undermine us to accuse us of a hypocritical approach that we never intended to take.

If there are people such as those you're describing, even if you yourself feel that way, I am sorry if this seems like an attack. It isn't one and it isn't an absolutist stance on any universal morality ascribed to relationships as close in age as what you are describing. They can be unhealthy, or they can be perfectly fine; it all comes down to the relative power imbalance in the end. However, executing the complicated case by case judgment calls on such gray areas isn't something we are willing to claim we are authorities on.

Our primary concern is ensuring no one in the event has to worry about being harassed and additionally ensuring that they know we take a serious position on the matter. You have been polite through this exchange, which i appreciate, and I do want you (and anyone like you) to know that this is not a judgment cast on you. But, unfortunately, the situation we find ourselves in doesn't leave room for ambiguity.

You folks are being really disturbingly militant about some pretty minor things. Someone told me about this event and it sounded really cool, but when I came to look I was immediately turned off. I hope your event goes well, but I’m not going to be signing up.

The reason we are taking a hard position on this is because the only reason we exist in the first place is on the premise of having absolutely zero adult/minor content, and unfortunately that includes making some gray areas black and white. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but we have to maintain that rule; if we make exceptions for one character who someone feels is ambiguous, it sets precedent for people to try and call us hypocrites when we won't do it for others.

I know in some cases it may seem strict, but this is done out of a desire to remain consistent and true to our word, and not because we want to be tyrants.

And, I have to go with your decision on how old Ienzo is and can’t use my own interpretation when it comes to whatever I decide I want to write is that correct?

it's not quite a matter of decisions and interpretations. when you google "zexion age" or "ienzo age" the top results will have him down as 18-20, and when i looked into it i didn't see anyone make a case for ienzo still being a teenager in kh3. this is the top result when you search it:

i understand that this isn't exactly canon confirmed information but considering this series has been notoriously opaque when it comes to canon ages, at times it's necessary to operate off of what the community consensus is, and in this case, the prevailing stance among those who have made an effort to determine it is that he's a young adult.

[kh-supernova]

How old have you decided KH3-era Ienzo is?

Given his approximate age in bbs and the amount of time that passed between games, it's probably safe to say that Ienzo is a young adult. He seems like he’s slightly older than Kairi in bbs and it’s widely accepted by fans that he’s a young adult.

Based on both these things, we’ve landed on “Ienzo will be considered a young adult.”

[kh-supernova]

So... if I wanna write a college/university AU where everyone is basically the same age give or take a couple years, I have to figure out which ships I can’t write because of the canon ages before I decide to pair anyone up? I basically have no idea about how old most of the cast are except that I know that, like, Dilan and Aeleus and some of those guys are (comparatively) older.

If it’s an inappropriate ship in a canon, it’s innappropriate in an AU. If you have a hard time figuring out who is an adult and who isn’t an adult, you’re free to ask. We ask that you do try to use your best judgement before asking us, though, as we don’t plan on making a list of who is an adult and who is a minor since there are a great many characters in KH.
