mekareContent guidelines:
Format Guidelines
ART
FIC
- 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.
Format Guidelines
ART
- Image ratio: month pages 5:4 (landscape), seasons pages 4:5 (portrait)
- dimensions for traditional art: month pages: 17,9 cm x 14,3 cm or 7.1 inch x 5.6 inch (or a multiple thereof)
- season pages: 17,9 cm x 22,3 cm or 7.1 inch x 8.6 inch
- digital art dimensions: month pages: 2180 x 1744 pixels, season pages: 2180 x 2725 pixels
- 300 ppi (minimum 150, maximum 600),
Colour profiles: cmyk - Recommended file formats: .jpg . png . psd (ONLY if image has been flattened) .pdf (ONLY if no digital text is included in artwork)
FIC
- Choose a quote from the fic to put on the calendar page next to the QR code
- quote should be gen like the art (the rest of the fic can include shippy content)
DMBJ Calendar Project FAQ
Feb. 13th, 2025 09:37 ammekareHow 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.

Feb. 24th, 2023 02:51 pmmekare

e.g. Xiaoge fanart (T), no warnings
Masterlist
Podfic
Summary: “Technically I only withheld information,” Wu Xie says, bright and brazen. You slide your fingers into his wet hair, tender around the curve of his skull, tugging gently at the roots. He watches you, very still...
Fanart
mekare - Art: Xiaoge.mp3, rated G, or on on AO3mekare - Art: Only Wu Xie, rated G, or on AO3Fanfic
lunarriviera - You don‘t need the light on rated EWu Xie and Xiaoge have phone sex.
Fic for a prompt by
Xiaoge.mp3 Challenge: Info Post
Feb. 24th, 2023 02:28 pmmekareLet Xiaoge express himself audibly.
The challenge:
Create fanworks that focus on Xiaoge expressing himself audibly. To be clear, anything audible counts: whispering, humming, sighing, talking, gasping, wailing - you name it.
Whether it be particularly tasty food cooked by Pangzi, or Hei Xiazi mercilessly teasing certain body parts - anything goes!
The Timeline:
February 24th: start of the challenge
November 30th: end of the challenge
Where do I post?
The AO3 Collection
Alternatively, link to your work in this masterpost in
dmbj_tombraiders. I‘ll also post monthly round-ups of fanworks created for the challenge to promote commenting and hopefully to inspire more people to join the challenge.FAQ
Which types of fanworks are eligible?
All types! That one-sentence fic you thought of counts. That first-draft-stage headcanon counts. A fanmix counts. A poem counts. Fanart counts. Anything else you can imagine fitting the challenge description counts.
Which ratings are eligible?
All ratings!
Are there minimum requirements?
No, there aren't.
Does drawing Xiaoge saying something count?
Yes, it does!
