Are You Game?

This community has moved to DreamWidth.

Over the past year, participation here has been dwindling as people move to new homes in the journal-sphere. The DreamWidth AreYouGame community is still going strong. We have a wider range of prompts that represent more variety of gaming fandoms. Currently we are starting to wrap up the prompting session (last day for prompting is November 14) and will go into the claiming round. I invite all of you to come and participate there. Any prompts that were still in play here have been moved to the master list there.

As far as any fiction in this community, all fiction will stay posted at author discretion. If you are an author and you no longer wish for your fiction to be archived here, feel free to remove your work.

If you want to participate in AreYouGame on Dreamwidth but need an invite code, let me know and I will pass one your way.

Posting begins Friday, October 1st at 12:00 AM EST!

Are you ready to post? Are you ready to read? ^_^

Here are your handy dandy posting instructions:

All art and fic over 100 words must be behind cut tags to prevent flist flooding. Any fic that includes explicit material (*cough*SEX!*cough*), character death, etc. must also be behind cut tags regardless of length to help those who don't want to get caught reading or viewing NSFW items. If your art includes icons, you may post one teaser icon with the rest being behind a cut. Any other art: a thumbnail will be an acceptable teaser as long as it doesn't include any bits that are NSFW.

The cut for the fiction or work of art. All art, with the exception of a small worksafe preview, must be behind a cut.

Please post your work to the community for archiving purposes, not just a link to your DW.

Please leave the tagging up to the mods unless you see a tag for your fandom and your name.

Recipients will remain anonymous unless they choose to out themselves.  ^_~

For those just here for the read:

Read and enjoy, but please be sure to drop a comment or two for all the hard work the authors put into their pieces. It is always nice to know when someone enjoys your work, therefore cookies are always accepted!

Claiming will remain open:

Claiming will remain open for all dates that haven't yet come to pass for those who haven't had a chance to get in on the action (or those masochists that just want MOAR!).

Have fun!

Writers and Artists - Start your claiming!

To claim a prompt:

1. Copy and paste the prompts for which you want to write or create art into a comment to this post or either of the prompt posts. Please include the date and whether you are making a fic or art claim to help me promptly note your claim.

Example: September 28 – Devil May Cry, Nero/Dante: Longing – Where have you been?

2. Each prompt can be claimed a total of six times (three for fic and three for art).

3. You are welcome to claim your own prompts.

4. Collaborations are welcome.

Please be patient with me as I note your claims. Claiming will be on a first comment first noted basis which I will note as soon as possible.

Writers and artists – these prompts are supposed to be challenging and fun. Interpret the prompts as you will but please keep the main elements the requester submitted. All fiction must be at least 100 words. Art claims can be in the medium of the artist's choice - we will accept icons, wallpapers, fanvids, drawings, painting, etc.

Posting instructions will be available around September 28th, but please feel free to start brainstorming or writing/creating as soon as you have your prompt.

Begin claiming here: October 1-31

Here is a prompt list sneak peek for all you writers/artists thinking about claims. We've had quite a turnout for our first session!

Please check the list over and let me know if you see any mistakes or if I have missed any prompts.

Do not make claims to the list at this time. Claiming will begin 12:00 AM EST Tuesday, September 21st and will run until September 31st. If you still have a prompt to submit, don't worry, we are still taking them until 6:00 PM EST on the 21st right here!

And now, the list (it’s juicy!): Prompts: October 1-31

Prompting is now open!

Leave your prompt requests in the comments following this format.

Please limit any crossovers to games only.

Again, your prompt requests will be collected and organized into a Master List. When the master list is up and free of error, we will have a claiming session where you will be able to claim the prompts for which you want to write or create art.

A sneak peek of the Master List will be posted September 20th for public viewing to make sure that there are no errors (however, prompt requests will still be taken until 6 PM EST on September 20th).

Claiming will begin at 12:00 AM EST September 21st and we will accept claims until the first day of posting (12:01 AM EST, October 1st) and for every day that has not passed.

Posting instructions will be posted around the end of the claiming session.

Comments to this post are screened. If your prompt ends up being claimed and written, I am leaving it up to you to out yourself as prompter if you'd like.

Prompting for the next session will begin a little late. I am catching a flight (long flight is long) to Japan today and I won't have reliable computer access for at least a week. If I can sneak it in, I certainly will.

Take care everyone. I'll post again soon!

I clearly forgot to post this last session, so here it is and backdated as to fit in with the round.

As of this last areyougame session, we have a LOT prompts to retire!

So, if you are looking for a challenge or just need something to keep you occupied during the next month, feel free to let these bunnies take up residence with you. No claiming necessary for the free-for-all, just take, create and post here sometime during the month of August.

Please follow the regular posting format for the free-for-all.

Good round, everyone!

So what's next? Well, this week, I will be putting together the master list of everything that has been written and getting it posted up. Then, next week I will be posting retired prompts for a free-for-all that will continue through the rest of August.

In September, we begin prompting again for an October round.

If you can't wait until October, we just started posting over at areyougame on Dreamwidth. Of course, there are still prompts left! :) If you are already established there, I hope you are having a blast - I know I am. And if you aren't established, but want to be, let me know and I can probably get you an invite to the party.

Again, good work, everyone!

Welcome to the prompting instructions for the July session! Get your prompts ready! :)  

Prompting will open at 11:00 PM (EST) on tonight, so look for a second post to appear then! There is no limit to the amount of prompts you can submit.  Submitting a prompt does not obligate you to participate - just be kind enough to read and leave a comment or two!

All prompts must be for game fandoms and their franchises (such as movies, books, series, etc. that were made based on the game.)  Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

The prompts will be gathered into one master list. Claiming will begin 12:00 AM EST June 18 and will continue until 11:59 PM EST June 30.

Posting will begin  on July 1.

We have some prompts retiring from this last round!

If you are looking for a challenge or just need something to keep you occupied during the the next month, feel free to let these bunnies take up residence with you. No claiming necessary for the free-for-all, just take, create and post here sometime during the rest of this month.

Please follow the regular posting format for the free-for-all.



Also, the Master List will be up sometime around April 28-30. I have been overwhelmed by work and just haven't had the opportunity to work on it.

Prompting will commence in May for the July round.

What a great session! We were graced with some really wonderful fiction.

Today I bring you a time-line for our next scheduled round.

For the next two weeks - the community will remain open for any of you that lost momentum during the February round or just had life careen into you at top speed - you may certainly post any late fic that you're still planning to write this month. I am sure the readers won't mind. I will just add them onto the February Fic/Art List as they are posted.

March - This is our off time, so I will be getting the Fic/Art List posted and figuring out which prompts are retiring from the master list.

April - I will be posting the retiring prompts at the end of March. If you choose to write for any of them, you can post them at any time during April.

June - we will start another prompting session for the July round. Feel free to start thinking up your prompts now! ^_^


Fic/Art List - The February Fic/Art List will be up sometime next week.

Again, thanks to all the writers and artists that have contributed to </a></b></a>areyougame not only in this round but in past and future ones. You are the reason why this community is so successful and we love you!
