XXXmas in July

What is XXXmas in July?
It's a play on words based on the the event "Christmas in July." XXXmas in July is an exchange event. Works do not need to be Christmas/holiday themed.What is an exchange?
An exchange is a lot like Secret Santa. Participants get matched up to create gifts for one another over the course of several months. They then get revealed on a designated day for everyone to enjoy.What are the requirements?
Writers will create a fic with a minimum word count of 2,000 words.
Artists are to create one clean digital or traditional illustration with color flats. Black and white is fine if that is your preferred style, but it cannot be a sketch.Are there any content restrictions?
No. All content will be allowed, however, you must take your giftee's likes and dislikes into consideration and also tag accordingly. If you make something specifically from their Do Not Want list, you will be banned from future exchanges.Where can we post it?
You may post your work to your platform of choice. You will just need to link it in the Discord server for your giftee to see it and for it to be shared. An AO3 collection will also be created at the time of posting.What is the schedule?
The schedule can be viewed below with posting in mid-late July.Communication?
There will be a sign-up form and matchups will be emailed to participants, but check-ins will be hosted in a private forum in the Thots & Prayers Discord Server. If you are not already a member of the server, you will be sent a link to join the server when you sign up. In the rare case that you are banned from the server, you will not be eligible to participate in the exchange. You do not have to participate in the rest of the server if you do not want to. You can mute the server and only have notifications on for the section housing the exchange.There will be no stealing of artwork or plagiarizing fics. If you are found to have stolen work, it will be an immediate ban from this and all future events. No generated images (AI) will be allowed. All works must be your own creation.

Advent Calendar

What is an Advent Calendar?
An Advent Calendar is a markdown to Christmas starting on December 1st. Generally, it is a box with small paper flaps with a treat inside that you get to open once per day. Advent Calendars have gone a more non-traditional route over the years and can now be made up of many different things, but they are all 24 days long.About:
The Nu: Carnival Advent Calendar will be a voluntary project in which prompts will be suggested via an interest check and then participants will be requested to choose three of the listed prompts they would be most interested in creating for. Participants will be matched up with the prompts to create one work for each day. The matching will not be first-come-first-serve. Mods will do their best to get everyone their top choice, but depending on availability, some may be given their second or third.What can I create?
Participants are allowed to create one new original piece that fits the theme of their prompt. This can be anything as long as it fits and is created by you: fanart, fanfic, mood board, cosplay, playlist, etc. Plagiarizing works of any kind will result in a ban.Example: Of the 24 prompts listed from the Interest Check, you choose mistletoe, Christmas lights, and gift giving on your sign-up form. After going through the all the top picks requested by each participant, you receive and email stating you have been matched to do Christmas lights on December 17th. You will then be required to create one new fan work centered around Nu: Carnival and Christmas lights to post on December 17th.How do I sign up?
Sign-ups will take place after our interest check period. Once the list of prompts are determined, they will be posted on the Twitter account for everyone to see. There will be a sign-up form available a few days later. You will be asked to select three different prompts and what type of medium you are most interested in creating. When the sign-up period ends, all participants will be emailed which prompt they were assigned.Will there be a Discord server for communication?
No. This event will run more along the lines of a ship week, in which participants are free to create their work on their own time with little to no moderating involvement. There will not be a formal check-in process, though an email will go out three times during the month of November for a quick check-in.What if I need to drop out?
If you can no longer create your work, please notify a mod ASAP. There will be an option on the sign-up form to mark if someone is interested in pinch hitting should someone else drop out. Please let us know if you can no longer create your work by your designated posting date so that one of the pinch hitters can be notified.Am I allowed to share previews or snippets of my work?
We ask that all works be kept secret until your posting date so that the community can be surprised by the treat you are sharing with them on your advent day.When is my work due?
Your work will not be due until your designated posting date. IE if your posting date is December 12th, you do not need to have your piece finished until that date. You are free to post your work any time on your designated day in your time zone.Will this be SFW, NSFW, or Problematic?
All rating types are allowed. Please be sure to tag your works accordingly.What if more than 24 people sign up? Will people be rejected?
No. If we have more than 24 participants sign up, then certain days will have multiple works created. It’ll be a bonus advent treat! If someone drops out and there were two people assigned to that date, then we will not contact pinch hitters since there will still be a work shared for that day.Will there be extensions given?
No. In order to have at least one work posted on each day, there will be no extensions given out. Please be mindful of what days you’ll be available for posting when selecting the prompts you’re most interested in on the sign-up form. If you cannot commit to the designated day for posting, please reach out to a mod ASAP for a pinch hitter to be secured.

Rarest of Pairs!

What is a bang?
It is a collaborative event where a writer gets paired up with an artist. There is a minimum word count (differs from bang to bang) and usually has the writers submitting the summaries first, then the artists will choose a selection of summaries. Mods of the event will then factor in different things to come up with a team lineup.What is a "rare pair"?
A rare pair is a lesser known pairing within a fandom. They are usually a ship that make you go, "huh, I never thought of that," or have limited content surrounding them.How do I know if my ship is a rare pair?
Rare pairs will be determined by a set percentage of fics on AO3. This percentage will be decided after the IC. (I.e: If it is 5%, then the ship cannot exceed 5.9% of all NUC fics on AO3. 52/1034)Will canon ships be included?
The inclusion of canon ships (all Eiden x Clansmen ships) will be dependent on the IC results.What is the role of a Pinch Hitter and a Beta?
Pinch hitters will be asked to join teams in the event other creators drop out. Pinch hitters will be offered summaries on an as-needed basis, with no penalty for refusing to work on a summary you aren't interested in working on. Extensions and extra time for pinch hitters will be discussed as needed.
Betas serve as editors/proofreaders for teams that desire one. They will choose summaries they are interested in and work with their teams on an as-needed basis.What type of content is allowed?
All content is allowed with no restrictions.
This is an 18+, pro-fiction, pro-ship event. We only ask that problematic content be kept to the appropriate channels within the server.Are we able to join with a pre-planned partner? Or will we only be matched randomly?
Yes you are able to join with a partner! On the sign-up form there will be a spot to indicate if you already have a partner planned. If not, you will be matched up based on the claims.

Requirements

Artist: One piece with flat colors and minimal background
Writers: Fic length dependent on IC
