dmbj_tombraidersHow do I know which character I‘m going to create for?
During sign-ups we‘re asking how many characters you‘re confident about being able to create a fanwork for (from a pool of major and minor characters). Once we conclude sign-ups we‘re going to make a numbered list of participants and let people choose their characters in order. Artists get to choose first!
The goal is to have people who are familiar with only a few characters choose first, so we don‘t end up with participants having to create a fanwork for a novel character they don‘t know! Artists choose first, so we won‘t have a fic about a novel character no artist feels confident about making art for.
We‘re relying on participants being honest about the numbers they provide us to determine the order of choosing characters.
What if I want to create for a character that isn‘t mentioned in the lists on the sign-up form (e.g. Yatou)?
That is not a problem! The lists are just there for us to determine the draw order. We included all major characters and a lot of minor characters, but we couldn‘t mention everyone!
Can we draw according to novel/popular fan-interpretations of the characters instead of the live action series?
Yes, of course!
Why are you asking if I‘m interested in the Yucun Discord invite link?
First things first: Participation in the Discord is entirely optional! The project idea originated there and there is a channel reserved for participants to chat and support each other. If enough people on Dreamwidth are interested, we can have something similar (e.g. regualr check-ins/support posts) here.
What is the template for?
The template is just there so you know what the final page design looks like, please use the dimensions/ratios provided in the email to make your artworks. Everyone uses different art programs, so we would like you send us your artworks in the file formats we sent out.
