FAQs for Krisnix Week 2024
When is Krisnix Week 2024?
Krisnix Week is October 13 (Sunday)-October 19 (Saturday) 2024. A list of prompts for the week can be found here.
What type of fanworks am I allowed to create for Krisnix Week?
You can create any type of fanwork that you wish. This includes but is not limited to: fan art, fanfiction, fan comics/doujinshi, fanmixes, fanvids, animatics, podfic, and more.
How should I share my work for Krisnix Week?
You can post your fanwork for Krisnix week on any platform(s) you wish. However, we recommend cross-posting or posting links to your creations on multiple platforms to ensure that as many fans see your work as possible.
If you are posting on tumblr, twitter, or instagram, we recommend that you use #KrisnixWeek2024 so that other fans are easily able to find it.
We have also created a collection on AO3 to host the works for the week.
Can I still participate even if English isn’t my first language and/or I don’t use the English localized names?
Of course. We want to celebrate and appreciate these characters in all their forms, whether they are being called Ryūichi Naruhodō and Garyū Kirihito, Phoenix Wright and Kristoph Gavin, Chéngbùtáng Lóngyī (Naruhodo/Phoenix in the Chinese version), or Krístofer Galvão (Kirihito/Kristoph in the unofficial Brazilian Portuguese localization). And in whatever language(s) you wish to share your appreciation for them.
Good art needs no translation, and I’m sure the shippers who speak your first language will be glad to have more fic in their native tongue. (Also even English-only speakers (like me) will sometimes brave google translate to enjoy a new work for their favorite ship).
What are the daily prompts? Do I have to use them? The optional daily prompts can be found here. There are three listed for each day. You can choose one, combine two or more--or ignore them entirely. You can also start with one of the prompts and then disregard it if inspiration takes you in a different direction.
For instance, the themes for the first day of the challenge are
Trust vs Betrayal; Partners (in Crime); & Supernatural, Horror & Fantasy.
Here are some, equally valid ideas of how you could incorporate these:
Krisix as werewolf hunting partners who betrayed each other at a critical moment. (combo of all 3 themes)
Phoenix is haunted by Kristoph's ghost after his death. (supernatural theme)
High School/College/University AU where Kristoph and Phoenix are dysfunctional lab partners. (loose interpretation of "partners" theme)
Do I have to participate in every day of Krisnix Week?
Absolutely not. You can pick and choose which days you want to create for, depending on your schedule, creative inspiration, and level of interest. Additionally, you can feel free to merge and combine multiple themes into one single creation!
Can I write something gen and/or incorporate other ships into my Krisnix Week creation?
Yes, we welcome gen works that explore Kristoph and Phoenix's unique dynamic as well as shippy and/or smutty works. Additionally, you are free to incorporate other ships (ex: klapollo, trupearl, etc) or to create a poly ship with Kristoph, Phoenix and a third-party. (ex: Kristoph/Phoenix/Ema).
However, we want to emphasize that Kristoph and Phoenix should really be of equal (if not greater) focus to any other pairings that you wish to incorporate in the fic. For example: A fic alludes to past/future/unrequited narumitsu but that ultimately focuses on Kristoph/Phoenix would probably qualify as appropriate for the event. Whereas a single allusion to past krisnix in a work that otherwise focuses on narumitsu would not count as a "krisnix work." (We encourage you to draw/write whatever you want--but maybe reconsider including a Krisnix Week tag).
Am I allowed to create NSFW content for Krisnix Week and if so, how can I share it?
Krisnix week is definitely open to all permutations/interpretations of the ship and their dynamic -in and outside of the bedroom.
However, we ask that you use appropriate content warnings/spoiler tags if your creation features graphic violence, explicit sexual content, or anything else you’d like to warn for.
