Hey guys, I'm extending 7.10: Mythological Figures Graphics for a week, up until next Tuesday. We have one entry; I'd hopefully like to get a few more for voting!

Here's the results of the first round. Stories by chacusha, Breyzy, lightofeilia, Yin, and mako_lies!

Ready for the next round? Put this as a reply to the thread below. I'm going to see if this game works with the genders being not predetermined i.e. "They Said They Said":
1) Character A: 2) Character B: 3) What A thought: 4) What B thought: 5) What A said: 6) What B said: 7) What A did: 8) What B did: 9) What happened in the end:

7.11: Hair Battle - Nominations

I've been wanting to do this for a while! Basically we're going to have a series of votes to determine who the Final Fantasy character with the best hair is! There are multiple categories, so multiple ways to have the "best hair". But first, I need help with nominations! I've already put in some nominations for some of the more bizarro categories (that hopefully have some good nominations from more obscure works), but now it's your turn to make suggestions!

( The categories! )
( Nomination rules / how to nominate )


DEADLINE: Thursday June 26 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: 2 points for nominating in a category or suggesting categories, up to 30 points

P.S. These are the kinds of things I come across when searching for Final Fantasy hairstyles. And now you have a pretty good ballpark estimate of how long I've been planning this activity.

7.10: [Contest] Mythological Figures Graphics

For this contest, your challenge is to take a Final Fantasy character(s) and make a mythology-themed graphic with them. Is Fran like Artemis? Is Lightning -- Odin connections aside -- like Thor? Take a character and connect them with a mythological figure.

In your entry you can use any combination of images of the character(s), images of the mythological figure, other elements symbolic of the mythological figure/atmospheric stock photography, a relevant quote/description, etc. You can make it simple or complex. Any mythology counts -- Greek, Aztec, Norse, Chinese, Biblical... it's up to you!

Some quick examples: photoset, single graphic

Spoiler policy is in effect for Final Fantasy Type-0.

No points for this one. Sorry for the lateness. Will post new activities!

Also, I'll be extending the Ghost Stories contest to Friday June 13 (Friday the 13th! Spooky!).

7.07: [Contest] Horror/Ghost Stories

For this contest, the challenge is to write an FF-themed horror/ghost story. Imagine the kind of story you'd tell if you were sitting around the campfire and wanted to unsettle the other people in the circle, and cause them to look over their shoulders uneasily. That kind of story!

You could have a party of FF characters sharing ghost stories, or have one of the characters experience a creepy incident, or just write a fic focusing on the horror elements present in FF games. Have fun playing around with building up suspense and that feeling of terror.


DEADLINE: Friday June 13 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: 25 points for submitting up to one fic (no word limit) - your fic can be crossposted to moogle_workshop afterwards to get any difference in points

7.06: "Advice Animal"-style Memes

I hope I can explain this. The challenge here is to take a Final Fantasy character, put their head over a pinwheel background, and make them into an Advice Animal-style meme.

Some examples of Advice Animals: Socially Awkward Penguin (sums up awkward scenarios), Courage Wolf (all about motivating people to live courageously), and Good Guy Greg (meme summarizing that legitimately decent guy you know). They often feature a two-line joke, setup on top and punchline on bottom. More information on these kinds of memes at the Know Your Meme page.

Your task is to do a Final Fantasy-themed meme of this type. For example, you can have "Ridiculously Optimistic Snow" and then make some example memes inspired by his FFXIII antics.

So to get 30 points for this activity:
(1) Decide what your meme will be about, name it, and make a template for it (e.g. in an image editing program). There might also be tools to do this, but I'm not sure.
(2) Using your template, make 4+ examples of how you'd use it. You can do this fairly easily in an image editing program, but there are also definitely tools that help with this (quickmeme, memegenerator, etc.)

DEADLINE: Thursday May 23 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: 30 points for making a meme and 4 examples
