Escade Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Hi, I spoke to Darkesia briefly about this a while back but I'd like to organize and run a fan fiction festival for NSers. Basically, things I'm thinking about are: Venue - should it be held on a specific region's forum or should it be held on a neutral forum (a newly created one for the purpose)? Dates - I assume sometime in August would be nice, maybe right before everything gets busy again. However, I also hear of the summer lulls so a date that would work best for people across regions. Themes - It would include both non NS related fan fiction categories and NS ones. Prizes would be nice as well. We could have entries for a competition where people showcase their best work and another for quick writes where people respond to a prompt in a certain amount of time. These are my thoughts, as they coalesce further I will add more and anyone is welcome to suggest ideas and how to make this be an awesome festival\event.

Darkesia Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sounds like fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluvatar Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 This sounds intriguing, fascinating, and possibly disturbing. Are there examples of NS related fanfiction, or would this be a way of creating the genre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmoneia Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Also are we fans of something specific? I would probably want to participate if I had more time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llamas Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Also are we fans of something specific? I would probably want to participate if I had more time! Escade suggested holding it in August. ... I think you have enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hariko Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 How long were you thinking of having the stories be? An idea is already starting to coalesce in my head right now... Maybe I could set the plot in Sanjeida, because I already have a lot of detail on Hariko I could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escade Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 This sounds intriguing, fascinating, and possibly disturbing. Are there examples of NS related fanfiction, or would this be a way of creating the genre? Eluvatar, I think other then via IRC and a two or so TSP attempts at it, it's a newish genre? Also are we fans of something specific? I would probably want to participate if I had more time! No, anything in the NS wide world is fine. For TSP, one person write about the scandalous lives of the cabinet a while back and some silly stuff like that. Another wrote a more scathing critique of the Assembly as thinly disguised fiction. It was fun though. I also think from the World's Fair we had things like best couple (VeniKoth) etc so its really as you wish How long were you thinking of having the stories be? An idea is already starting to coalesce in my head right now... Maybe I could set the plot in Sanjeida, because I already have a lot of detail on Hariko I could use. I'd probably announce all the details in May. The entries that are submitted before hand could be lengthier since participants would have the summer to work on stuff. The prompt entries during the festival itself (or requests or even fan fic "gifts") would be shorter mostly because of the timing. I think the biggest question for me is where to host. I would love love if there was a way to host on the NS forums themselves so that people didn't have to register anywhere. TSP forums is the other place I think of that is neutral-ish in GP and most people wouldn't have a problem visiting\being on? Or is there a really neutral UCR that might work as well? I think of Spiritus, maybe? Llamas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hariko Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Maybe we just post our stories to Pastebin and link to them in the RMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escade Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 The horror, pastbin is so unbeautiful. Maybe Wattpad (https://www.wattpad.com/signup) or fanfiction.net? And we can link to them from a region created for the purpose. Individual regions can highlight their participants on their WFE\RMB as well.

Hariko Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Perhaps we write them, and to make the festival last longer, instead of doing something else, we could give the BBCode for the stories to Darkesia for her to put into serialisation on the WFE. A new story for each day. An accompanying poll too. Would provoke discussion in the RMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llamas Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I think we should make this like the NS World Fair, and start it in TWP but pick a different region each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonpledge Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I'm not much of a writer but I'd love to get involved and help out! I think for the trial run, we should try it out here. Llamas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
