Heads up, guys! Puzzle-June kicks off this Monday!
Puzzle-June is an entire month dedicated to puzzleshipping, the Yu-Gi-Oh! pairing featuring Pharaoh Atem & Yugi Mutou. This year our prompts come a bit late, but we hope that many of you will still join in on the fun, and that this can be a helpful distraction from the chaos happening around us.
This is just a reminder about some of the “rules” of this ship month:
1. Each day has a themed prompt, but they are completely open to interpretation.
These prompts serve as inspiration, not as a hard guideline. Interpret them in any way you please, whether straightforward or obscure. Alternate universe content and crossovers are just as welcome as canon content.
2. Posting on the day of the prompt is encouraged, but not required.
This month is a celebration of puzzleshipping, not a challenge. If you cannot finish a prompt on time, take the time you need. Don’t stress yourself out. And do feel free to work ahead! There’s no need to make your creation on the day - just try to post it then, if you have it finished!
3. You do not have to fulfill every prompt. In fact, if you like, you can just do the weekly prompts instead!
There is no minimum or maximum requirement. You can make as many or as few fanworks as you would like! Interpret the prompts according to how you see them, and create something that you are proud of.
4. There is no set form of media for interpretation.
Interpret the prompts in any form of media that you would like! You can choose painting, fanfic, poetry, paper cutting, songs, shadow boxes, or any other media form you can think of!
5. And finally, make sure to post your works in the challenge tag so everyone can see and appreciate your work!
Post your art, fanfic, playlists, etc. on Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter with the hashtag “#puzzlejune” so people can find your work! For each individual theme tag, add the theme name together with puzzle in order to create the tag! For example, the first prompt for the month is “doors”, so the tag would be “#puzzledoors”.
An additional note: this is our second year straight doing puzzlejune, so we will also be using the tag “#puzzlejune2020.” Feel free to tag your posts with this as well!
If you plan on participating or just want to help boost this to others, please reblog this post and share it wherever you can! With just a few days left before June, we want to get word to as many fans of our favorite pairing as possible.
If you have any questions, feel free to drop us a message! Our mods are happy to help however we can, and others may have the same question you do.
And finally, if you’re on twitter or instagram, feel free to follow us there! Once the month kicks off, we plan to retweet, favorite, and signal boost as many works tagged with #puzzlejune as we can!
P.S. If you’re a fic writer, our 2020 AO3 collection is here! Feel free to add your fic to the collection so everyone’s can be collected in one place!
