🍫 YGO CHOCOLATE BOX VALENTINE’S CHALLENGE 🍫

... Yeah, I know it’s barely even Christmas yet, but we do want to get a head start on something like this, don’t we?

Welcome to our Valentine-themed prompt challenge! You’ll get 10 prompts to pick from, plus a very special surprise if you pick the option for it! ;) 

Though we are mainly a Zexal blog, we decided to open the challenge up to all series! So, we’re looking forwards to other spinoff and DM fans joining this silly little fic-a-thon!

You can sign up here!

The event is both OC friendly and NSFW friendly (as long as you tag appropriately!)

Under the readmore, a little explanation of the images in the slideshow 💖

hi! i saw the post about there being an ao3 collection for the chocobox event, but i cant find the link anywhere. has it been posted? also is it okay to @ this account when posting on tumblr or is there a dedicated event tag? thanks!

Hello there! The AO3 collection is here, and of course do tag us when you post! I hope you have a wonderful time.

Offline life has kinda eaten away the time I would have spent promoting the event even more, but I wanted to wish everyone participating a great event, full of love, challenge and rarepairs <3

[zexalholidays]

Hey everyone! The challenge officially starts tomorrow, so remember to tag your works <3

We'll post the prompts for any last minute inspiration as things get going through the week, just in case you need a little help along the way.

Hi there! Just wondering if the Sweet Box prompts have been sent out yet? I've checked the accounts that I gave in the form (my email, tumblr & ao3) but didn't see anything. I totally understand if it's being sent out in batches and might be a little late, just wanted to be sure. Thanks in advance!

Hello! Please do remind me your contacts in private, so I can fix it <3 sorry about the delay!

[zexalholidays]

I know it's a little early, but I'd like to know what tag should the participating fanworks be tagged with for the chocobox event? Also, will there be a AO3 collection?

There will be an AO3 collection! The hashtag for works outside AO3 will be revelaed on the 14th of January

Hello! I had a question for the Valentines Box challenge! So I chose the Limited Edition box, and do plan on doing at least 3 of the listed rarepairs (some great options in there, btw!)

But I wanted to ask; if in addition to those 3 rarepairs, I also wanted to do an added fic/fanart of a ship of my own choosing still - is that allowed? Or am I completely and totally restricted to the rarepairs, regardless of if I meet the box’s minimum requirement of 3 rule? Thanks so much and happy holidays!

You're absolutely allowed to breach out as long as you do your three rarepairs! You're very welcome to do so, actually :) the more, the merrier honestly

🍫 DLIN DLON! Signups time is over!Remember to check the social media you entered on December 28th! Thank you for your participation ❤️ and Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much for the attention! 5 days left to sign-up, y’all, come get your treats!

Is nsfw allowed?

if this is in reference to the chocobox challenge, then yes! there's a designated "spicy" box dedicated to this purpose, but you can write whatever you'd like. just be sure to tag your works properly.

[zexalholidays]

i saw on the chocobox google form that we need to tick which fandom we're writing for, but is it permanent? is it okay to change if i get inspired for another fandom after seeing the prompts?

It's not permanent if you didn't pick the Limited Edition Box, which is the only true "restriction" of the challenge!

(But even then, if you change your mind the moment you see the ships because it's like, 20 of your notps we can sort this out in DMs/via mail)

The fandom options are more for us mods to know what to expect (I haven't rewatched DM in a hot minute, Mod Kotori hasn't finished Arc-V or Vrains, neither has watched Sevens or Go Rush) and for yknow, vague statistic purposes if we get in the mood to publish stats.

hi! just wondering, when will the valentines challenge prompts be sent out? and will people who sign up for the same box get the same prompts? thank you for the event btw ^^

Hello! The prompts will be sent sometime around December 27th, and before the 30th.

People who sign up for the same box get the same prompts. We ask of receivers to keep the prompts relatively secret until public for this reason c: but it's not forbidden at all to co-write, exchange ideas etc, just don't broadcast your process.

I'm aware of the risk of many people picking more or less the same prompts, but there's been enough of an array of fandoms for it not to be too much of a problem.

Zexal rare pair week day 4: Double date

@zexalholidays

Woohoo!!!! I was able to finish this before the due date passed!!! I wasn’t able to  do the actual week because of exams and stuff but thankfully they were accepting late stuff, so here’s a piece for one of the prompts!! Yuma and Trey going on a double date with Tori and Cathy to a pizza place!! I wonder what they’re talking about?

rarepair week day 1 is yearning

Blue on blue

When you lay your hands on me Draw lines that break me apart Your fingers blue as they can be And they are as cold as my heart

Here I touch you and try to see Just how far you lips part There is a blue gaze that tries to flee Emotions overflowing, it’s just the start
