7.12: He Said She Said Game

I need some more time to collect all the hair nominations and set up the voting (any seconding of the suggestions so far would be appreciated!), so in the meantime, a new activity: a game my friend taught me that she called the He Said She Said game.

( How it works )

If we get answers quickly (like > 2 by Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday), I'll run multiple rounds. It's fun when you quickly get to see the story you made, so ideally, just fill out the form really quick and we'll get multiple rounds in. :)

DEADLINE: (Sunday June 29, Tuesday July 1), Thursday July 3 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: You can fill out one form per round for 10 points each round

7.09: Song Lyrics

For this activity, your task is to give a Final Fantasy song of your choice lyrics! They can be serious lyrics or you can go the Brentalfloss parody direction. If you have a song and lyric style in mind, go for it! Otherwise, there will be a suggestion/requests thread to give you some ideas of songs that might work well with lyrics.

You get 20 points per stanza for up to two stanzas -- you can write two stanzas for a single song or write a single stanza for two songs. What counts as a stanza is usually about four lines of lyrics. Taking Blinded by Light as an example:



Section A lasts from about 0:11 to 0:33 and repeats again until about 0:55 (two stanzas)
Section B then picks up from 0:58 to 1:30 (could be one or two stanzas)

Basically, if the same melody line repeats exactly, each time it repeats will count as a separate stanza. Lyric writing is kind of hard, so I'm going to be lenient about what counts.


DEADLINE: Sunday June 8 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: 20 points for writing for writing a stanza of lyrics, up to 40 points; 5 points for requesting songs, up to 10 points

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

7.03: Tag Banners

As is traditional, gonna start this cycle off with some tag banners! This challenge is super easy: just make a small banner with your name/ username, the class you've been sorted into, and a picture that fits your class. You can then use this tag banner while sorting, submitting to contests, etc. (anytime you'd need to specify your team name).

Tag banners should be no more than 350 px wide, and 200 px tall. (Wider tag banners okay as long as the height is significantly less than 200 px.)

Submit your banner in the comments to get 10 points for your team.

DEADLINE: Thursday May 15 @ 11:59P EDT (3:59AM GMT)
POINTS: 10 points total for submitting a tag banner

3.06: Black & White Picspams

Note: because of the tardiness of the contests this month, this challenge will be the only second-half-month challenge for November.

Yes, we're having a picspam contest. For this contest you must arrange 8+ screencaps into a single picspam image, which you'll submit. The catch here is that at least half of your picspam must be in black & white. You can make an entirely greyscale picspam, or you can make a greyscale picspam with some splashes of color here and there, or you can mix full-color images with an equal amount of B&W images. It's up to you. The subject or theme of your picspam can be anything you like.

For some examples of picspams, see picspammy.

RULES:
- Your picspam must contain 8 or more FF screencaps or official art (no fanart)
- Your picspam must be at least 50% black & white
- Your entry must be a single image no wider than 750px and no taller than 1500px (any smaller dimension is fine)
- You may use text within your picspam image itself, but no outside commentary; the image is the only thing that will be put in the voting

DEADLINE: Wednesday November 30 @ 11:59P EST (4:59AM GMT)
POINTS: You may submit one picspam worth 20 points
- First place: +125 points
- Second place: +75 points
- Third place: +50 points
- Mod's choice: +20 points (if there are enough entries)
- Voting: 5 points

Be sure to leave your class in your comment.
