Welcome to Challenge On The Big Bridge!

[sunberry]

What's all this anyway? It's a friendly jrpg fest thingee! :D

The goal of the Challenge is to create a fanwork for a Japanese Role-Playing Game or JRPG franchise.


The guidelines are:

- For fanfic: 5000 words minimum
- For fanart: Art, either 5 completed pieces of art on unlined paper or 10 sketches on unlined paper or equivalent
- For other fanworks: I'm not very practiced at gauging podfic, vids and all, but what you feel is in line with fic or art is fine by me!

- Multiple sign ups are okay, sign ups are mostly for gauging interest
- Multiple submissions are okay
- Co-authors, collaborations and stuff are also okay
- Subject changes, media changes, all of that's also okay!

- No penalty for withdrawing, you can say why or no at your discretion
- There will be check-in posts but they're optional, mostly for sharing bits, cheering on, commiserating and such


The AO3 collection is here!


Nota bene: I'm hoping everyone gets to have a good time with this fest. That means everyone taking part needs to let everyone else have a good time on their own time. No tearing down other people's faves, guys, whether that's a game or a character or a ship or a fannish genre, okay? We're here to have fun, and that means everyone.

Challenge Schedule and Question Post

[sunberry]

The schedule for the Big Bridge challenge is:

- Sign ups: End May 31st (23:59 ADT)
- Creating period: Starts June 1st
- First check in: June 15th
- Second check in: June 30th
- Third check in: July 15th
- Works due: July 31st (23:59 ADT)
- Works revealed: Aug 1st (22:59 ADT)


I'm thinking of keeping the works in the collection unrevealed until after July 31st and revealing everything at once on Aug 1st, but I'm open to thoughts on it. We have time :)

It's been brought to my attention that opening up opinions on status of the works in the collection may have upset some folks, which was not my intention, so I'm going to go ahead with my initial plan. The collection will be closed at 23:59 on July 31st, and the works in the collection will be unrevealed until Aug 1st, 22:59 ADT.


If you have any questions about the challenge, feel free to leave them on this post!
