hello! for the writers, we don't have to have the fic finished right? for the summary, outline, word count, tags in the sign-up form, are those all approximations? and what is the option 1 referring to? i see two option 1s in the form. thanks!
Hi there and thanks for the questions. Please ignore the option 1, they were a small error left over that will be fixed. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
youâre right! The fic does not have to be finished, and everything can just be vibes. Enough to give your artist an idea of what theyâre working with. Hereâs an example summary template, but it can be as detailed or as bare bones as youâd like!
Working Title: (does not need to be permanent, just something to differentiate your fic) The Apple Tree
Trigger Warnings: Cannibalism, Death, Violence, Grief
Tags: Alternate Universe Modern setting, Soul Mate AU, Reincarnation
Other Pairings: (please do try to avoid sxx, sx, and xx but if you absolutely cannot avoid those ships, please place them here.) WangXian, ChengQing
Primary Characters: Song Lan, Xue Yang, a-Qing, Xiao Xingchen, Wen Qing, Wei Wuxian
Canon Source: Frankencanon between CQL and the Novel
Rough Word Count: 40k ~ 60k
Design Preferences: (note: this is a small event so we might not be able to match perfectly to these preferences but this'll get the artist an idea of what you're looking for even if they might not be able to provide that specific design) Frankencanon between CQL and the donghua designs. Additionally, I like Xue Yang to have a bit of a tan and Song Lan to be muscular.
Summary: Song Lan and Xue Yang are constantly reborn, constantly soul-mates, constantly kill one another, but they always meet for the first time under an apple tree.
Outline:
Chap 1: first life (canon life) apple tree added
Chap 2: second life (murder + cannibalism. xue yang eating song lan)
Chap 3: third life (remembers past lives and angry fight)
Chap 4: fourth life (falls in hate/love and they fuck but still ends in tragedy)
Chap 5: fifth life (they attempt a peace treaty and they start to really like each other but lightning strikes them dead)
Chap 6: sixth life (happy ever after)
Suggestions on potential scenes/images for art: Song Lan and Xue Yang standing under the apple tree together, looking one another in the eyes.
