April is soon upon us, and we're thinking of hosting another Trainers of Fanfiction event! Unfamiliar with the event? Here is the event as it unfolded in 2018, and here is our submissions form for that event to help give you early ideas of how you might like to contribute. This year's event will see a few changes:
Theme
As this is an event designed solely with community participation in mind, we thought we'd let you choose the theme this year! Last year's theme was geared more towards Journeyfic protagonists and characters that travel a lot either for the plot, or for their job. While discussing the idea for this year's theme, us mods put forward the idea of a theme centered around anti-heroes or roguish types, but recognized such a theme might have limited participation as not everyone has such a character in their story.
So, what are your ideas for themes? Suggest below, and we'll pick the most popular! You may suggest a theme already suggested (which is how we'll count "votes") and you have until Saturday March 23 to suggest a theme!
Artwork
Providing artwork for this event is an ongoing effort of mine. But, I don't consider myself a professional artist and my confidence is a little shaky, so I don't have much to add compared to last year. At the moment, we have the familiar pose for male and female characters from last year's event, as well as two additional poses for female characters [seen here, with some familiar faces from last year!]. I'd like to get a bit more variety in (especially for male characters) so I'll be working alongside Cresselia92 to hopefully achieve this in time for the event to go live.
The choice of artwork for the "overworld" portion will likely remain the same, though I do have a new tree design to show off for those who are interested in the Lanark tileset this year.
When do signups start?
Probably the day of or after we tally up the results of the theme poll, which is probably two weeks from now. Signups themselves will last for two weeks, allowing us time to draft some questions and allowing you time to decide which would best suit your character.
