im sorry but IT'S REALLY FUNNY HOW THE ADVERTISING WENT FROM "WE HAVE THIS MANY DAYS LEFT, SIGN UP!" TO RANDOM EDITS IF I HAD A MORE THOUGHT OUT AU, I WOULD CONSIDER JOINING, MOD(S) YOU ARE FUNNY

Hehehe thank you! I'm glad you've been enjoying them. I was looking at how I used to promo a different tournament blog and noticed that I had ran into a similar predicament in the past--many slots still need to be filled + extension already given + still don't have enough sign-ups--and noticed that the memes WORKED and got us to 64 sign-ups in time so I figured. Why not do the same here. If it works, it works after all ^^ (Special thanks to @solar-systemm and @cosmiicats for helping me choose which memes to use btw!!)

I had already made a majority of the more "serious" graphics in advance so I'll still be using those. Though that does lead to a noticeable shift in tone between some posts XD

ALSO! YOU CAN STILL JOIN!! Your AU doesn't need to be fleshed out to submit it to the Collision. Getting to see an AU grow in real time is one of the fun parts about running this event. I actually have a post scheduled to post later today regarding what qualifies as something that can submitted to the Collision (with a meme attached of course, idea courtesy of Cosmic). As long as you can fill out the form, your AU is pretty much good to go! And if you're worried about the image section, I will literally accept it if you go into a document, type your AU Name, change it to a cool font (or don't), take a screenshot, and use that as your logo. Of course, in the end it's up to you whether you decide to join as a competitor or not, though I hope you enjoy AU Collision regardless! ^^

(Obligatory 20 slots left. Sign up HERE!)

A bullet journal girlie? Oh boy!

By now you'll know that I love a little bit of everything when it comes to hobbies, and my bullet journal is my rock in keeping accountable and responsible.

If you're saying "what's a bullet journal?" I highly recommend the Bullet Journal website for understanding the concept, and Pinterest for ideas once you've gotten the hang of the jargon! But for me, basically it's a combination of a planner, diary, and a calendar. Above is my first original spread!

Do you have a lot of family that maybe you forget to check in on? Maybe some friends who disappear for a few weeks, just like you do? Fear not! I have just the layout for you. Enter my "Comms Log."

You'll see that there's a blank spot on the left for names of family members juxtaposed against initials of the months for this year. Every month I check in on a family member or friend, I'm going to mark off that I did it with little green lines, like on an old sci Fi computer.

Anyway, I'm pretty proud of this, so if you try it, please let me know how it works for you!

Happy Bullet Journaling!

What would be considered propaganda/what kind of propaganda is typically made?

This is my first time participating.

Propaganda can be anything! Be it art, writing, or just plain ol’ yapping about why people should vote for your AU. Propaganda can also feature other people’s AUs (which I highly encourage everyone to interact with other’s AUs). So just do whatever your heart desires and have fun!

(And yes, I accept tomodachi life shenanigans)

More information about propaganda can be found in our FAQs. It is the third question listed.

[sonic-au-collision-zone]

Do we get to vote on polls if we’re participating?

Yes! And also because I know this will get asked, you can vote for your own AU too if you want.

[sonic-au-collision-zone]

Just one last question from me, I'm also participating in another poll bass contest. I was wondering if I could make a art piece of both and use it as propaganda for both?

Yes, that’s fine! There’s a lot of overlap between here and fankid showdown I’ve noticed anyway <3

uhhh.... what happens if the roster doesn't fill?? 😥

then post cancelled. everyone go home /j

Real Answer: We’ll still start with how many submissions we ended up getting. To avoid having to cut off anyone who joined past 32 submissions, I’ve decided that some polls will include 3 AUs rather than 2. (Side note: Match-ups will be randomized). I already adjusted my bracket graphic to account for this just in case, so it shouldn’t cause me too much trouble, but I would still prefer if we reached 64 in time!

(19 slots left! Sign up HERE!)

When it comes to AU images, are edits of official Sonic renders/images fine? Presumably with credit to Sonic Team or their respective artists? Or would they not be allowed since it'd be unlikely to get permission for them, since they're still other people's art?

Oh, good question! I will allow edits of official Sonic media as long as credit is given where it’s due.

[sonic-au-collision-zone]

Just out of curiosity is there any plan for if the slots aren’t filled? Is it going to be held off until it can be filled or will it just be continued anyway?

While we could start with 32 AUs rather than 64, I’d prefer to not do that as that would cut anyone who signed up after the 32 mark.

SO! The more likely option is that I extend the deadline by a week, but you all have to do you part by spreading the word about AU Collision’s return and convince your friends to sign-up to help get things rolling!
