WELCOME TO SAIOU WEEK 2021!!!
Returning for a third year, we are having a week celebrating saiouma until Shuichi's birthday! You have one month to prepare for the days you want to make entries for. (But feel free to skip any of them as well!) Reblogs will help spread the word so they're really appreciated! Let's do our best as always this week!
PROMPTS:
(NOTE: The prompt descriptions are just explanations and ideas to help you come up with something for your entries! You don't need to follow them to a T!)
Day 1- Family / Jealousy
The first day already has the opportunity to give in to your fluff or angst needs. Will you choose the fluffy Family prompt? Or the angstier Jealousy prompt? Make whatever your heart desires!
Day 2- Animals / Costumes
Have you ever thought of dressing up the boys in your favourite costumes? Are they cosplaying a character? or perhaps an animal? With these prompts, you can go wild and maybe even make them half-animal or taking care of one!
Day 3- Flower Language / School
Do you prefer them to be in a normal school or in Hope's Peak Academy? Will their school life be more bearable with each other? Maybe they'd give each other flowers hiding secret meanings! This is the day for flower enthusiasts to shine!
Day 4- Festival / Candy
How would a day at a festival together end up like? Would Kokichi catch a goldfish for Shuichi, while Shuichi pampers him with all the sweets for sale? It must be nice to watch fireworks together too! Or you could go with the candy prompt where they eat or create candy! or maybe... turn THEM into candy HAHA
Day 5- Cold nights / Tropical days
Which do you prefer? The tropical days of Summer or the cold nights of Winter? And what would these two boys do in such days? Hang out under the shade of a tree while looking at the ocean, or huddle for warmth under a blanket during a snowstorm!
Day 6- Appreciation day!
If you're new to this blog, appreciation day is the day where artists draw something for their favourite fics, and writers write something for their favourite fanart! Check out the d6 and d60 tags in this blog to see previous entries!
Day 7- Shuichi's birthday / Free day
This week always ends with Shuichi's birthday! You can create something related to that topic, or you can use this day's freedom to draw anything you like for the OTP!
Rules, credits and more under the cut!
RULES:
> Don’t forget to tag your entries with #saiouweek or @saiouweek so it’s easier to find them!
> If your entry is a fanfiction posted on ao3, make sure to add it to the Saiou week collection!
> If your entry was not reblogged here you can dm it to us directly!
> You are not allowed to stress yourself! If you didn’t know already, we accept entries even after the week is over! So take your time!
> As always, this event is not a competition! It’s to have fun and appreciate Saiouma. So even if you can’t colour or don’t draw digitally, or you think that your writing isn’t on level with everyone, it’s okay! Your entries are unique in their own way!
> When making an entry for appreciation day, make one for other artists and writers, not yourself! because it pretty much defeats the purpose of the day! That still applies to things you technically co-own with others!
> Please do your best to not use our week as some kind of place to promote your other works. Others shouldn’t be familiar with other stuff you’ve made or written to understand your entry. This is a week to appreciate saiouma so please don’t twist it to something else!
> If you want to make an edit as an entry, give credit and make sure you ask the artist whose work you’re using for permission first! (and show it to us!) Or else your entry won’t be shared because we don’t know how the artist feels about their art being used as an entry!
> If you have a written entry posted on Tumblr, PLEASE use "read more" or just link the fic from your ao3 to avoid burying other people’s entries when yours is reblogged!
> If your entry has any kind of hate towards anyone, shaming other people or anything of the sort. There’s a high chance we won’t reblog it because we don’t want to promote that kind of stuff!
> The most important rule, don’t forget to have fun!
CREDITS:
> Credit for the Shuichi and Kokichi sprite edits goes to Kinningharmonies! Their blog should be linked in their name!
> Credit for the background of the gif goes to 1041uuu.
> Credit for the edits goes to natsumiheart!
> And finally, this event is organised by xs-xs and natsumiheart!
FAQ:
🌟Can I post late submissions?🌟
Yes, you can! Just make sure we will be able to see your entry by tagging saiouweek or adding @saiouweek or simply dming it to @natsumiheart or @xs-xs! But it might take some time for us to notice and reblog your entry after the week is over, we hope you understand!
🌟Do my entries have to be posted separately?🌟
Nope! You can post them separately or have multiple entries together, we will just have to tag the respective days in the post so they show up on the entries page!
🌟Why hasn’t my post been reblogged?🌟
We either were unsure if it followed the rules or will make others uncomfortable, or we simply haven’t seen it yet! The tags on Tumblr haven’t been working properly so if we miss an entry that you think should be reblogged then dm @natsumiheart or @xs-xs!
🌟What is the saiouweek AO3 collection?🌟
It’s where all fanfiction entries for saiou week are! When you make a fanfic on ao3 go to collections and search for saiou week. It will be added to the collection after the fic is approved by a moderator!
🌟Can entries be posted on other sites?🌟
Yes! it's your work so you can post it anywhere. Though it won't be shared here on Tumblr. BUT we have an Instagram for this event that you can find if you click here! Tag us there and we will share it on stories and add it to highlights!
🌟Will you be doing this again next year?🌟
We never know what will happen to us a year from now! Last year we didn’t know if we would do the week again but here we are, so you never know!
Feel free to message us or send us asks about any problems or questions! We will reply as soon as we see it 💕
