#2018 Jinnobi Challenge

2024 Jinnobi Challenge

Hello everyone! It’s March which means it’s time for me to be really early about mentioning the Jinnobi Challenge happening in August! This is the 8th annual Jinnobi Challenge and it feels very strange to write this and know this all started back in 2017 when I was lamenting the lack of Qui/Obi challenges. Well now there are several that happen every year and they are always worth checking out!  (previous master lists of the Jinnobi Challenge submissions : 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023).

So here’s all the info and FAQ for those who are thinking of participating in this Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon challenge (I will repost this info periodically as it gets closer to August).

When is it?: The challenge will run from August 1 – August 31. Any Jinnobi work you submit must be complete and it must be submitted sometime during August 1 – August 31. You have from now until August to work on submissions. PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR SUBMISSION BEFORE THE CHALLENGE STARTS. Due to time differences in various countries, I do allow people to post on September 1st. 

Who can enter: The challenge is open to writers, artists and everyone in between. Art, poetry, photo manips, videos, gifsets, fanfiction, it’s all welcome. There’s no theme except it has to be Obi-Wan Kenobi/Qui-Gon Jinn. It can be set during the prequels, the originals, the Kenobi show, or an AU. It’s up to you. You can submit multiple entries too if you’d like. For fic writers there’s no limit on the length of your fic(s).

How to enter: When August 1st, comes around you’re welcome to post your complete work on whatever social network or fanfiction site you are comfortable using. Please tag your work (if the site allows you to tag) with the tag Jinnobi Challenge 2024 or The Jinnobi Challenge 2024 whether it’s a fic, art, or a post.  Message me with a link to your work (or links, if you submit more than one work), once you’ve published it so I know to put it on the master list!

I can also be reached on A03, but I tend to check tumblr much more regularly so if you want a fast response, I recommend contacting me via that.

Rules:

1. No underage relationships. (underage = below 18 years of age)

2. No Abuse or Noncon between the main pairing (Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon)

3. If you post anything triggering, please tag it with the appropriate warnings

4. Your fic must have a rating on it (the challenge is open to all ratings)

5. If you’re posting a long WIP, the first chapter must be posted on or after August 1, and the last chapter has to be posted before August 31, so I don’t recommend it unless you know you can get it done in that time.

FAQ:

What if I don’t have anything ready, but I do have a Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan work I happened to post in August?: As long as the quiobi work was complete and was posted between the 1st – 31st of August 2024, you can tag it ‘Jinnobi Challenge 2024’ and enter it in the challenge.

What if it’s not slash?: This challenge celebrates the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan ship. Pre-slash is fine, just please no ‘Qui-Gon as a parental figure to Obi-Wan’ fics as that is not what this challenge is about.

What if it’s a fic in a series?: if it’s a standalone complete story in a series than yes, it qualifies.

What if I already entered it in a different quiobi fic challenge?: The fic must be a new fic posted in August 2024 (no reposting old works unless it’s an extreme rewrite to basically be nothing like the original) and it must be complete. It’s ok with me if it is tagged in another challenge as long as it meets the guidelines for this challenge but you’ll want to check if it’s ok with the other challenge you posted it in.

What if it’s Obi/Qui/others? Or there’s Obi/other, Qui/other, but still Qui/Obi?: The main pairing should still be Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon, even if it’s poly, or if there are other partners or past/present relationships.

Does it have to follow a prompt?: No. As long as it’s Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and complete it can be about anything. If you want a prompt to work with here are a few you can choose to use for inspiration:

People assuming the characters are a married couple/accidental marriage

2. Someone gets sick

3. Sharing a home/quarters for the first time.

4. Quiobi in a different genre than sci-fi (i.e. fantasy, western, supernatural, historical romance, etc)

5. First kiss

Can be as angsty, fluffy, or as AU as you want as long as it follows the rules of the challenge.

Is there a prize this year?: Yes! I want to continue having a prize each year. And this year is a repeat of the 2021 Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan poster! (yes I do actually have more than one copy of this 90’s poster magazine) The link about that prize information is right here, as nothing has really changed since 2021, except that I now hold the challenge in August, not October, so ignore the dates in the original post. 

By the first or second week of September, I’ll put up a master post with links to all the amazing stuff everyone has created!!!

Have a bit of a fragment of a work in progress, for the Jinnobi Challenge:

“Don’t leave.”

Obi-Wan locked his jaw against the laughter.  He could not laugh, he could not –  

Hysteria bubbled up his throat anyway, clawing its way through, scratching in its mad efforts to get loose. Don’t leave.  Don’t leave, he says –

He swallowed hard and turned around. “Where. Would. I. Go?” he gritted out, aiming each word like a deflected blaster bolt, right back at the firer.   “Coruscant?”

Qui-Gon paled, and Obi-Wan spread his hands.  “Where, Qui-Gon?”

“Any of the Temples would be happy to – ”  

“You’re mad.”

Qui-Gon fell silent as Obi-Wan squeezed his eyes shut and a bark of laughter broke free at last, scraping its way out.  “You cannot possibly believe that I could go to any Jedi Temple, could go home –” his voice did not tremble on the word, Sithdammit, “ – and be anything other than a, a curiosity?  An eternal suspicion?  An object lesson on the catastrophic folly of looking at any other way to the Force than through the Code?”  He locked his arms across his chest and turned away.  “I might as well be done with it and Fall.”

“NO.”  

A heavy hand on his shoulder and Obi-Wan whipped back around with arms up and out, knocking Qui-Gon’s touch away.  “Don’t.”

You're alive.

Secret and Shadow (Ficlet)

Have this random bit of something for the Jinnobi Challenge.

________________

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. – Sonnet XVII,  Pablo Neruda

~*~

The teeth leave his throat and Obi-Wan closes his eyes.

For months, they’ve done this dance.

“Look at me.”

It’s a command he doesn’t want to obey. 

The hand tangling in his hair tightens in warning and he does. As he has every time they’ve met.

The Sith’s eyes are blue as glacier water. His brown hair more silver than Obi-Wan remembers. His smile sharper. “There’s my boy.”

The voice carries with it a current of the Force. Obi-Wan feels it in his mind, hot and heavy, trailing along the bond between them. The bond that had been severed on the floor of the Theed power generator. The bond that has slowly healed itself with their every meeting and grown stronger than it has ever been. The bond that grows stronger every time the payment is made and the Sith sinks himself into Obi-Wan’s body, into his mind.

Tell me who it is.

You are no match for him.

The Council should be inf—

The Council is no match for him. Confront a Sith Master head-on and you will die. All of you. But I can help. The boy is the key. I can help you mold him, keep him safe.

It’s a price he’s willing to pay, Obi-Wan tells himself, thinking of Anakin’s face when he saw his mother on the steps of the Jedi Temple, bought and freed by a mysterious benefactor.

“The role of martyr doesn’t suit you,” the Sith whispers against his ear, catching the thought. He shifts on top of him, brings them together in flesh and in the Force, captures Obi-Wan’s cry with a hot mouth, a slick tongue.

It isn’t a role he wants to play. But it’s the only one he can. The role the Council will believe, should the situation come to light. The role that keeps him in the Temple, keeps him training Anakin, when a not-small part of him wants nothing more than to stay here, wrapped up in secret and shadow.

He shakes off his heavy thoughts, meets those blue eyes and gives himself over to the moment.

As Qui-Gon had taught him.

The Sith smiles.

Qui-Gon Jinn may be a talented Jedi, but is far too Unorthodox for the Council and one last misstep has them plotting his exit by setting him up for failure.

This happens in Wild Space where warring Clans refuse to honour his negotiations due to him being classed as inferior due to his speciation. They demand redress and public proof that his mate, a male mate, will be the one to honour the agreements.

Enter Obi-Wan, who takes up the responsibility for his Master, despite his ambiguious and confused feelings in the matter. Feelings he doesn't get a chance to explore when Qui-Gon is pushed out of the Order and plans have to be made for either a future with Qui-Gon and his family, or a future in the Order.

What will Obi-Wan choose?

2018 Jinnobi Challenge

Hi everyone!!! I thought I should let you guys all know super early about the Jinnobi Challenge. I had such fun running 2017’s challenge (for last year’s master list of submissions, click here), and I really can’t wait to see what will be submitted during the 2nd annual challenge.
