For the  @karedevilsquad Valentine’s Day Event I decided to draw Matt and Karen on a date. :) They are taking a walk through a park (the Central Park?) after a nice dinner. And I couldn’t resist the red suit and the red dress….. ;)

You’re invited to participate in our 2019 Holiday Challenge: 12 Days of Karedevil

As the year is wrapping up, we're celebrating with a special 12 Days of Karedevil fanworks event! Join us in giving a gift to the entire Karedevil fandom. We want to enjoy whatever ideas are dancing in your head — holiday parties, cozy snowed-in days, cookie baking, gift exchanges and more!

How to participate:

1. Sign up using this form by December 6. We'll assign you ONE DAY of the 12-day event. (You won't be committing to create something for all 12 days, don't worry! Just one — any more than that is up to you!)

2. Create a fanwork — fic, artwork, gifset, vid, meta, anything! — and post it on your assigned day. Make sure to tag #karedevil squad and #12 days of karedevil so that we can reblog. Please post to the 12 Days of Karedevil collection on AO3 as well.

3. Each of the 12 days has a prompt. These are just theme ideas to help inspire you. You’re not required to use them. As always, we welcome any holiday-themed Karedevil works.

4. There are no rules for works other than that they are holiday-themed and complete. All lengths, ratings, genres, etc. are welcome.

5. Posting will begin on 12/20 and end on 12/31. We encourage you to share your fellow creators' works throughout the event!

We can't wait to close out the year with bounty of Karedevil gifts!

Karedevil Squad Creators!

We are throwing our first-ever Karedevil Summer Challenge in support of @savedaredevil’s #DaredevilContinued Fanworks event!

We would love it if you helped us celebrate the season by coming together to create some amazing summer-themed works! A busted AC at the office, eating ice cream in Central Park, an afternoon at Coney Island, an evening at the beach, a night under 4th of July fireworks - any random summer tradition you can think of that puts our favorite characters together under the sun or stars!

Rules:

The works must be summer-themed to participate.

No work is too small or too big. Everything is welcome as long as it is complete!

Include your work in our Summer Challenge collection on AO3 no matter the medium! We would love to see gifsets/fics/photosets/art/videos/meta! Create to your heart’s content.

Your work can take place in any season of the show under any genre or rating, but you must follow the fanworks event rules and register to crosspost to their event. 

You are not limited to one creation! The more the better. Just have fun with it!

Please use #KaredevilSummerChallenge, #Karedevil Squad, and @karedevilsquad​ when posting.

In order to give everyone enough time to make their ideas a reality, the posting window for this event will take place from September 1st-15th. Let your work be the best goodbye to an amazing summer!

What general area do you live in? Northern Illinois How long have you been in the DD/Defenders fandom? I think about 3 years

What is your favorite thing about Karedevil? I think the thing I love most about them is how they bring out the best in each other. They make each other want to be better people, while at the same time accept each other for who they are (season 3 did WONDERS for their relationship; they had both been terrified of letting each other see the darkest parts of themselves, but both were met only with acceptance). Ending it there before this turns into a ten-page essay.

How many Karedevil WIPS do you have? One posted, one unposted

What do you look for in a story? I’m pretty easy to please. If it’s Karedevil (or a Nelson, Murdock and Page story), I *will* read it. Everyone I read has an excellent grasp on the characters, so I don’t care what situation they’re put in; if it is true to the character I am going to enjoy your story.

What is a fun fact about yourself? I live in the same town that the movie Groundhog Day was filmed.

How many times do you think you’ve watched the show(s)? Probably at least 4 times (seasons 1 and 2), still have to do a rewatch of season 3. Soon!!!

What other fandoms have you/ do you participate in? I’m a total mixed bag. The Beatles, Jane the Virgin, MCU movies, Jane Austen, Romancelandia

How do you come up with ideas for creations? It often just starts with what I’d like to see. I’ll get an idea like, “how would Matt ask Karen to move in with him”, and then I just kind of fill in the blanks. Once in a while, I’ll have a line of dialogue and write something around that, but more often then not it’s basically just “here’s how I picture *this* scenario going down”, and then writing it.

What are your favorite creations that you’ve made?

Something Always Brings Me Back to You; I was just very happy with how this one turned out; this was/is the most angsty thing I’ve written, of a grief-stricken, Post-defenders Karen going to church to light a candle for Matt

I’m Never Close Enough to Say; this one was just fun to write and came unbelievably quickly, it’s post-season 1, pre-season 2 about Karen going back to the Nelson & Murdock office after a bad date, where Matt is working late and had been trying to ignore how much Karen being out on a date is bothering him

You Are Mine to Keep Warm; this one was also a blast to write; the city gets hit with a blizzard, so they figure it’s the perfect excuse not to do any work. Most of my stuff tends to be established relationship, and I loved coming up with various things they would do on a snow day stuck in Matt’s apartment.

What is your DDS4 wishlist? Nelson, Murdock & Page getting up and running, Matt working to find balance in his two lives, more Bullseye, more Sister Maggie, and of course….Matt and Karen (in my head, it would definitely still be a slow burn, with them falling for each other all over again but scared to do anything about it, until they just can’t not be together)

What are your top characters from the Defenders in order: Matt Murdock, Karen Page, Foggy Nelson

Do you have any advice for other creators? Nothing but just create/write/draw/whatever more Karedevil! It seems like we’re a small corner of the fandom, but we are a very passionate fandom, and there will always be an audience for Karedevil

What are your favorite kinds of prompts? Any prompt you want to give me! I do tend to write more established relationship/happy Karedevil which I know is not everyone’s cup of tea, but if that *is* your jam, please hit me up anytime. I’m also happy to take meta questions.

Send me prompts any time! Story ideas, General KD questions, Creator process questions
