The fourth round of Chromicons Seven Week Icon Challenge has started. You can sign up here.

Kaleidoscope sign ups are open. The sign ups run until October 8th, 9 pm PST.

And don't forget about our own drabblethon, happening in just a few days!

We are only a few days away from chromaticvision's drabblethon. If you can, please help us out and spread the word! We'd love to have plenty of participants from all corners of fandom. Remember, the drabblethon is not just for writers but fanartists and icon makers as well!

If you have any questions, feel free to check out our Frequently Asked Questions from our usual rounds, to answer questions like "Can I create a work based on original characters instead of something fannish?" or "How do I know if [CHARACTER/PERSON] qualifies as a character/person of color?" or even "Do you consider Spock or Gaila from the new Star Trek movie as Characters of Color?"

Round 2 of chromicons's seven week icon challenge has begun! You can sign up on this post and post your icon set to the community between September 13th and 19th. If you can't participate in the second round, there are plenty more chances.

More information about the challenge.

Don't forget chromaticvision's own drabblethon October 1st to October 14th. Spread the word!

Chromatic Vision will be hosting a two week drabblethon from October 1st to October 14th. This event, like our previous events, is for all fandoms and all ratings, and RPS is more than welcomed. We want to see not only written drabbles, but drawbles and iconbles (2-4 icons of the same image with different textures/texts/colors/etc) as well.

But wait, there's more. At the end of the two weeks, points will be tallied for every drabble and prizes will be handed out.

1st Prize - $25
2nd Prize - $15
3rd Prize - $10
2 Randomized Winners - $5

Prizes are in the form of e-gift cards to Amazon.com or another e-suitable vendor.

Mods are removed from winning prizes.

Join us for our drabblethon in October! Tell your friends!

In a few weeks, chromaticvision will be hosting a drabblethon. All fandoms, all ratings, and RPS is more than welcomed. The only requirements for the drabblethon is that each drabble focuses on a character of color whether singular or in a pairing, and that each drabble is 100 words (but can be written in sets of 100).

More details will be made available soon.

dark_agenda has announced Kaleidoscope, "a multimedia fanwork exchange for rare chromatic source fandoms."

Official Announcement, Policies, Procedures and Frequently Asked Questions.

Nominations open tonight at 9pm Pacific Time.

If you have an AO3 account (or if you don't), you can add your fannish work from round 2 to our subcollection on AO3. The archive is purely optional.

*If you don't have an AO3 account and would like to have one, please let us know so we can obtain one for you.

Thank you to everyone who participated in Round 2 of chromaticvision! There were many beautiful works ranging from all sorts of fandoms and medias, each giving much needed love to a character of color.

Below is the masterlist of the works that were posted, including those for Everything Old Is New. If you are posting for our amnesty period starting on the 15th, your work will also be added to the masterlist as well.

If you have an older and completed work that features a character of color, and want to participate in chromaticvision, you may do so today. Odds are, your work is new to us, and we're all about giving love to characters of color. ;)

Works posted will be included into Round 2's masterlist.
