Keep a lookout for the Event Museum post!

Again thank you to everyone who participated. These events wouldn't be nearly as awesome without you!

The Feedback Period is Over!

The polls have all ended and the ask box and Discord Server Channels will be closing after the Event Museum is posted. The ask box will open again when we announce the details for the summer event!

Thank you so much for giving us feedback so that we can make sure each event is better than the last!

"Dance at the Edge of the Universe"

this was supposed to be for the first day of the event and im uploading it literally at the last second of the last day help (its the 15th in some parts of the world still... right???)

when i saw the prompts for the first day i instantly could picture something where all of them were combined, but that task was a bit too ambitous, so i had to cut down the other two

wanted to do something more on the decorative side, so i landed on Mucha for my inspo for this one

And now we`re here ::D

if i had to pick an ost for this drawing it would be dancing in the moonlight covered by alt j

"But it's a habit worth forming

If it means to justify the end"

the prompts used are: rafting and dancing (day 1)

Some of you are probably wondering what any of these are. You'll find short explanations below the cut.

Remix

In a fan remix artists and writers who sign up create a fan work. Then after the initial creation period for the first work, everyone signs up for a work to remix or recreate with their own twist! Original works and remixes will be posted together at the end of the event. Who Made That?

Everyone will sign up and make an art or write a fic that fits the prompt provided by the mod team for the event. Each work will be posted as a poll with a list of participating fan artists or writers who may have made the fan work. Everyone votes on who they think made it.

Flash Fic/Art Challenge

This one is very similar to Campfire Fest but with much shorter creation periods. Mods will announce a prompt and everyone will have a few days at most to create fan works for the prompt. Responses will be posted at the end of the creation period. The next day Mods will post the next prompt.

Fan Zine

A fanzine is a non-professional and non-official publication produced by fans of a particular media for the pleasure of others who share their interest. Participants would make articles, art, stories, recipes or anything else they might have to offer for the publication. Once it was completed the mod team would post it for everyone to enjoy.

History and Science Fair

We're going to be honest, the mods made this one up on our own. It's pretty simple, when the event is announced people will sign up with a topic they would like to do a "science fair project" on relating to the science or lore found in the game. When Submissions open you present your project by posting your "findings" to the blog.

Okay y'all, we see you're excited to see this blog host a Reverse Mini Bang! We are too!

However, for this event to work well we really need there to be a story written per art work submitted. The previous poll shows it will be difficult to reach that goal.

The answer to this problem is pinch hitters. That means someone stepping in to write a second story to fill in the gap between the number of writers and artists.

Our Own Fate

Late submission for Day 1 of Campfire Fest @outerwilds-events

Day 1: Sap Wine, Festival , Rafting, Dance

I promise there is sap wine in that goblet, and this scene was supposed to be happening during a festival...

Without the rest it makes a bit less sense (especially the title), but that's all I could get done in time for the event ::')

The mods are considering hosting a Reverse Mini Bang for the summer event! This event would be longer than anything we've hosted starting in May and ending in August! [More information on what a Reverse Mini Bang entails below the cut.]

Before we start planning we were curious how people would potentially participate in it.

A Reverse Mini Bang is a specific type of challenge usually involving fan art and accompanying fics. This type of challenge is a reprise of the old zine tradition of collaboration between artists and writers for internet fandoms.

Most Reverse Mini Bangs have a similar format: Artists sign up to take part in the challenge and begin making artwork immediately. When the early drafts are available, the mod team will open up claims in the discord server. Writers will claim works to write a story to go along with the art work! At the end of the event the art work and story will be posted together for everyone to see!

[outerwilds-events]

As has been mentioned before the mods are looking to host four events a year. We really like Campfire Fest and the Quantum Entanglement Exchange for consistencies sake, but we're thinking a little more variety in the Summer and Fall might be good too. The three of us have a few potential events in mind, but what about you?

PLEASE LET US KNOW IN THE REPLIES, REBLOGS, OR TAGS IF THERE ARE ANY FAN EVENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS BLOG HOST!

Any answers that seem like a good fit will be included in Friday's poll, so please let us know before then.

Quick question about Day 7 being an "Open Prompt".

Campfire Fest Day 6: Supernova

Sun Watching

event hosted by : @outerwilds-events

Every loop is the same. The same sun. The same routine. The same supernova at the end of every loop. Except this time, the radio will not shut up.

Got this out for late submissions! I was trying to figure out for the longest time to figure out what to write and so, I ended up with this in the end.
