Info & Guidelines

[thisbluespirit]

Welcome to 100ships, a multifandom challenge comm where the aim is to create 100 different fanworks featuring 100 different relationships.



All types & categories of ships are welcome. There are no claims and no time limit on the challenge. Just copy the table to somewhere convenient and get started.

This is shamelessly based on 100fandoms and 51pluscrossoverfandoms (writing challenges), but all fanworks are welcome.

You don't need a Dreamwidth account. There is an AO3 collection for posting, and anon commenting is on here for any questions & announcing completion. If you want an account in order to post, it's free to sign-up.

Anyone who completes the challenge will receive a banner.


Rules
1. Copy/post the table to somewhere convenient to you, create fanworks for each prompt and have fun multi-shipping. There are no minimums and maximums. As long as your work is complete and comprehensible and visible/audible, it counts. You can write in any language (although the info in the linking post here should be in English).

2. Be kind. No hatespeech, harassment, trolling or ship/character bashing. (If writing RPF, please be sensitive - i.e. avoid non-famous/underage living people or serial killers/war criminals etc. current/within living memory etc.)

3. Post your work wherever you usually do and link back here to the work. Please use header info (e.g. Creator, Pairing, Fandom, Title, ratings, Summary, Notes/Warnings & prompt used). There's a template below, but you can use the AO3 share feature instead or any similar formatting that you prefer.

You can add existing fandom and prompt tags to your entry when posting. Mods will create new tags for you as needed.

Guidelines

♥ All types, ratings, categories of ships are welcome, romantic, platonic, queerplatonic, slash, femslash, het, poly, gen, familial, friendship, canonical, non-canonical, crossover, crack, rare pairs, randomised pairings, juggernauts, RPF, etc. etc.. It's up to you!


♥ Each fill must be created for the challenge and focus on a different ship using a different combination of canon characters each time. You can't create for the same character combination twice, even if one is platonic and the other romantic, or the second is an AU.


♥ You can ship canon characters with OCs if you choose, although only once per character (i.e. you can write A/OC, but not also A/Another OC or A/OC/OC, but you can use B/OC, C/OC.) Minor characters, mentioned/implied characters or widely accepted in the fandom fanon/canon OCs count as regular canonical characters.


♥ Same-actor character combinations are fine and count as different pairings, as do canonical alternate versions of characters. (A/B and A/B's Evil Clone count as separate ships, as does A/B, A/B's Evil Clone/B.) Versions of characters across adaptations would count as separate.


♥ Approach the table however you want - write any mix of pairings you like! You could combine it with 100fandoms and write your 100 OTPs from 100 different fandoms, or 100 pairings from one fandom, 100 crossover pairings, 100 randomly generated pairings or requests, 100 different pairings involving your favourite character, or your OTP + 99 different additional poly options, or any sort of variation you please. It's up to you.


♥ Prompts can be interpreted as widely as you choose, and you can combine them with any other prompts, challenges, fests, bingos you like (as long as the other fest also allows it).

♥ Part of the fun of challenges like these is working through the same prompts together, but if a prompt or prompts is distressing to you or you would prefer some creator's choice options, you can just replace it/them. (Up to 10 max.)

The prompts are taken from colour names, so select a new one from a colour list like this. Swap the prompt(s) out on your table before you start writing, and stick to the swapped version you've chosen. (Don't forget to check you haven't picked a duplicate prompt!)

When posting fills written for swapped prompts use the tag: "prompt: creator's choice".

If you have any other queries, please ask here or contact the mod via PM. Anon commenting is on.

Questionsss (I wonder if this has been answered)

[sapientesgladio]

So I know some fandoms have different canonical versions of characters.

For example, I write for the FF8 fandom and Squall Leonhart is present there as well as in the Dissidia Final Fantasy universe (along with a handful of other main protags and antagonists) and Kingdom Hearts (much older than both. Would it be acceptable to use two different versions of this character (and other characters that have different versions of themselves) but obviously pair them with the people present in that universe?

Alternatively, how is this challenge going to handle entries from Final Fantasy 7? Will the original compilation of FF7 be treated separately from the Remake (because these are two different canons and different characterizations) or will they be combined?

Would it be acceptable to use two different versions of this character (and other characters that have different versions of themselves) but obviously pair them with the people present in that universe?

I'm a little unclear on this paragraph so bear with me, but:

If these are separate/different versions of the same character in each different fandom, then, yes, they would count as a new canonical character each time, as long as that's how you and the fandom(s) in question regards them. (Which I think is what you were asking?)

If these characters appear in different fandoms as the same character, then they count as the one canonical character here, too. You can of course use them in all the fandoms they appear in with anyone you like; just not in a repeat pairing. (Multiverse and crossover pairings are very welcome here!)


As to specific fandom quirks & issues - that really is up to you as to how you (and/or the fandom) would usually treat those characters. If that's as separate characters (which is what it sounds like here) then, yes, absolutely, treat them in the same way for this challenge. And if not, then not.

I hope that helps.

Yup! That's what I'm asking.

Mhm! I figured I'd ask since I wasn't sure if anyone would be a stickler for that, but since this is a very "You are responsible for knowing what's specific to canon/same character." I figured I'd ask to double check! Mostly because FF8 version is a complete version of the character, whereas Dissidia's version is presumably fragments of some aspects of their journey, but mostly being overrun with being shaped by this (Dissidia's) universe.

Thank you so much for answering my questions! I'm sorry if they sounded confusing considering different versions of canon characters across fandoms can be a little tricky. LOL I cannot wait to participate in this!

Re: Questionsss (I wonder if this has been answered)

Good! And, no worries, it's always better to ask if you have queries. And I did think that was what you were asking, I just thought I'd better answer both possible interpretations in case. :-)

Mostly because FF8 version is a complete version of the character, whereas Dissidia's version is presumably fragments of some aspects of their journey, but mostly being overrun with being shaped by this (Dissidia's) universe.

Yeah, I mean, that certainly sounds like something with good reason to be considered separately, anyway - but, yes, it's got to be a judgement call from someone who knows the fandom for this kind of thing, I think.
