🌾 How to Submit Art, Writing & More ⭐️
A how-to on submitting your wonderful works for the OtherClan ARPG!
note: this is unfortunately a wordy post; I apologize, I may look into trying to make a shorter version in the future
There are 3 forms of submission for the ARPG; Art, Writing, and In-Character Engagements w/ This Account. Each have their own grading systems for how much can be earned & you can see the exact numbers for that in this Google Doc
You can find some prompts for Art & Writing under #Clan Quests or in this *Google Doc✏️*. Or visit the OtherClan Hub to find other resources.
You can also simply create art/writing for your character & submit it without prompts.
Note: there is currently no cap for how many submissions you can make in a day/week but users are encouraged not to submit over 3 in a short time frame so the account can grade/reward them in a timely manner
🌾 Submitting Art & Writing 🪷
Both work on the same essential path.
You have your characters approved; create your work with those OtherClan cats; and you get ready to post it here on tumblr; your submission post has to have the following:
- your character name(s) listed clearly at either the top or bottom of the post
- if you used a prompt for the submission, you have to specify what prompt you used in the post
- and most importantly you have to tag @otherclanarpg IN THE POST (not in the comments)
- (optional but recommended) you can tag #OtherClan ARPG and/or #Otherclan
- (optional) you can post your work to the OtherClan Community so that others may see it
- (optional) is your writing is too long for tumblr or works better via another site, feel free to just post a link to the writing & @ this account
🍄 Submitting & Gaining Account Interaction 🍂
Along with art/writing for the ARPG, users are able to obtain stuff like EXP, items, and important storyline information from interacting with this account ( @otherclanarpg )
Most follow a simple path: User’s must have their characters approved & posted on @otherclan-registry >> user must engage with this account through one of the ways below
Users can submit short writings or roleplay interactions of their cat’s visiting important landmarks on the map to try and communicate with others. Most relevantly- the Moonpool; where any user can try to contact StarClan or the otherwise deceased.
This submission form is pretty open to customization, but should follow something like:
[Character Name] has visited [OtherClan Location]
Blah blah blah Roleplay text here. Blah blah blah cat touches his/her nose to the moonpool water or something. Blah blah blah- open ended response with cat waiting to see if anyone heard them.
It’s important to remember that not all submissions will get a big-fun response. But the more active a user is with the ARPG, the more likely they are to be noticed by NPCs from StarClan or beyond
On certain art/writing prompt posts or clan events, certain NPCs will become available for interaction. User’s can submit interactions through the inbox, through comments on a post, or through art/writing.
Engagement may vary from a few brief sentences from the NPCs to full-blown lore drops depending on the circumstance. Each NPC post will have specific information on how best to engage with them
Sometimes user’s may make exceptionally interesting art/writing posts that earn “narration” in their comments or in a reblog.
Said narration is often just the world interacting with your character that offers you rewards or a role in important storyline development. Stuff like your character noticing early signs of a flash flood, your character having a unique item in their walking path, your character being contacted by StarClan etc etc.
And thats all! At least for submission types.
Any updates made in the future for new submissions will be linked here 🌩️
Note: If a post isn’t graded by this account within a week of its initial release, feel free to ask about it in the inbox or @ this account in the comments of the post to try & get it attention. If an inbox-submission hasn’t been yet responded to quickly, please wait around 2 weeks before inquiring; inbox engagement is notably busy, but I try to be timely
