Happy Birthday Rinoa! Er, happy start to the TSC extended succession challenge for this year!
We'll be taking submissions for our extended round via our Google Form! Rules are pretty standard for this so you know the drill. ;) Our extended Round themes are: Endings, Before, Idle, Space, Eight, Fade, Close & Dreams. All Final Fantasy VIII fans — both experienced and new — are invited to participate in The Successor Challenge -extended- round. This challenge is open to any character(s) you wish to write about, draw or create fan mixes for.
The challenge’s general requirements are as follows:
1. Entries have to be posted and completed between March 3rd to July 31st. Any submissions after 11:59 EST on July 31st will not be accepted.
2. Submissions have to be made specifically for the challenge. No reused or re-purposed pieces will be allowed.
3. Any fanfiction pieces submitted cannot rely on any knowledge other than the game canon so they can be readily accessible to everyone. They must be standalone pieces - no sequels to existing works will be allowed. No crossovers either.
4. The sole thematic requirement for fanfic submissions is that the theme word is included somewhere in the body of said submission. Other mediums are not subject to this requirement but it is encouraged to be depicted some manner.
5. There are no restrictions on fic length or genre. One-shots and poems are welcome. Multi-chaptered fics must be completed before the end of August or else they will be removed from listings.
6. All works posted on other sites must mention that the submission is for the Successor Challenge.
7. If you would like your works to be included in the challenge, please use the Google form.
8. As the challenge is here to celebrate the game and the relationships within, please refrain from character bashing and keep OCs to perfunctory roles only. They should be either minor characters to support the main cast or serve as antagonists - no Main Character x OC pairings, please.
