Event Announcement: Monster Mash!

After the success of EF’s first mini-event, the Satisfaction-athon last year, we have decided to run another one. Again, it will be for one day only, but this time the theme is Monster Mash and the date will be March 10th.

Credit for the theme idea goes to ClowniestLivEver, who implanted it in the Mod Team’s minds many months ago.

To clarify the theme: There is a monster in town* and Spike and Buffy team up to take it down. (*The fic does not need to be set in Sunnydale. Road trip fics count.)

The monster or monsters, plural, can be from the show (literally any of the minor monster-of-the-weeks. e.g. Luke, the Gorch brothers, Amy's mom, etc.); a classical monster (Frankenstein's monster, Wolf Man, the Invisible Man); a monster that is both (Dracula); or an original character monster.

Members can post artwork, drabbles, one-shots, or even multi-chapter fics if they wish, so long as they post the complete work before the end of the event. There will be awards on offer for participants, artists (including banner artists), commenters, and betas, which we will reveal the artwork for closer to the time.

Anyone who submits an artwork-only piece will be eligible for both a participant and artist award.

Commenters must leave a minimum of ten comments of at least fifteen words during the three days (72 hours) following event kick-off, i.e. 00:00 (12:00 am) on March 10th until 23:59 (11:59 pm) on March 12th, according to site time (which you can check under the ShoutBox on EF’s homepage).

Cool!! Sounds so fun! So, does the event end on the 12th, with the deadline for comments, or can posting happen over a longer period?

@the_big_bad: The posting window is 1 day. The comment window is 3 days.

Thanks for all the work you all do - sounds like this will be another super EF event.

Two questions:

Can our fav couple be living somewhere else (not Sunnydale and this is not a road trip)?

Is/are ( a )monster(s) from another show or cartoon acceptable?

Hi! How and where do we submit our work? Thanks so much for making all of this possible!

@BBE - Yes and yes.

@rossshin - It'll be like any event. You'll just click the ticky box when event day arrives.

@rossshin - Further to what Holly said, there will be a future news post with more details, including a screenshot of the tick box Holly mentioned and where to find it.

@Holly and @EllieRose101 Thanks so much to you both! It's my 1st time submitting something, so I wasn't sure ???’“

Hi where do I post my image for the challenge? Thanks!

-- rossshin on March 10, 2024 03:46am

@rossshin do you mean a banner image or artwork instead of (or as well as) a written story? If you send me a private message, I can guide you through the process for the first time.
