DMBJ Calendar Project - Content Guidelines and Format Guidelines

[mekare]

Content guidelines:

• Art and fic must be rated no higher than T (nothing 18+). This applies for any suggestive pose/clothing/etc. and also for blood/whump.


• Art should be mostly gen, featuring your chosen character, but you can hint at a pairing if you want to.


• Fic can include a ship, but please make your character the focus still!


• Art and fic for one month do not need to be a collab between the two creators - you can definitely make them match if you want to, but it is not a requirement.


• No AUs please! Please stick to depicting your character doing something that fits with your favorite novel or drama canon (no animal-shifters, school AUs, magic, etc. - just straight-up weird DMBJ)


• The only AU exception is if you’d like to depict a character who died as still alive, since we have too many fridged ladies and dead Zhangs as it is!
  But if you have any questions about what counts as an AU, definitely let Mekare or Vergoftowels know and we can help out.
