hi blog, happy friday! I've been through three meetings and it's not even ten thirty in the morning. I am exhausted. fingers crossed that i don't get any more put on my calendar !

I've mostly felt like a big lump all week and haha, my lack of writing progress reflects that. I've had a lot of fun ideas but nothing I've been able to turn into fic. but now masq is here (what a fun tka event) so I need to get myself into shape!

I've been making progress on my big wip! very pleased that I posted another chapter. I will definitely have it wrapped up by the end of the year. hopefully sooner than that. haha I'm not very sure if people are enjoying it or not but I got a handful of stray kudos on the other fic I linked at the end of the latest chapter, so I figure that's a good indication people are reading until the end of the chapter! (that being said, I 100% don't begrudge people who don't read incomplete fic or who don't always have the energy to comment because I can relate! ) the most important part is that i'm having fun writing.

my writing goals for october are

another wip chapter

masq fic!

one new fic

edit at least one tumblr ramble into a fic I can post on ao3

I hope everyone has a nice weekend! I'm so ready!!

I bought a large and squishable plushie of Su Mucheng/Dancing Rain from The King's Avatar, bought out the entire stock of TKA posters, got a free marshmallow in the shape of a cat's pawpad, keychain, mousepad, bought K-On poker cards, sticker, BB-8 embroidery patch, Cardcaptor Sakura washi tape, Yuri On Ice 2018 desk calendar and moar keychains. Got given a small bunch of purple daisies because a vendor thought selling fresh flowers was a great idea? Oh, also a free anime pen for giving free hairbands.

I used a lotta glue today.

CityParks’ SummerStage is the be all and end all of free summer event lineups. Oh, do you scoff? Do you say, “Pishaw! If it’s free how good could it really be?” Well let’s go back to SummerStage 2016 so I can prove my case.

As a kid I wasn’t sheltered, but you’d think I was from how little I went out. I was just a baby Broke-ass with zero social skills. I grew up in the Bronx and missed the rise of Hip Hop, Punk in dives like CBGB, Disco at the mega dance clubs that didn’t card or where a decent fake ID was ridiculously easy to get. I missed everything good about NYC in the 80s.

So when I see that Public Enemy is going to be playing at Betsy Head Park in the middle of Brownsville FOR FREE, I figure here’s my only chance to experience them like I should have back in the day. I got there 2 hours early to insure I got right in front. Unnecessary but hell, I wasn’t taking a chance or capturing a dream of my childhood. It was the best concert I’ve been to in my entire life. I had a better view of the performance than I ever would have in Public Enemy’s heyday. I left sweaty and dusty and happier than I’ve been in 4 decades.

Since that went so well, I decided to catch the free showing of “A Ballerina’s Tale” directed by Nelson George in Central Park. While chatting in line, people asked if Misty Copeland was going to make an appearance. Staff couldn’t confirm or deny. I’m thinking that would be swell and all, but having Nelson George seemed like an awful lot already. Well, after Mr. George intros his film he introduces Misty Copeland. We were all the woman on the left.

Click here for the Full SummerStage Event List. There are events up until September, with the vast majority of them being 100% free. This year’s line up is like someone dug thru a crate of Old School Hip Hop vinyl and decided to get them all to perform. It’s like the Summer of 1986 all over again! I plan on catching George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic w/ DJ Marley Marl hosted by Roxanne Shante, KRS-One / DJ Chuck Chillout, Slick Rick, TKA (Freestyle FOREVER!), and last but not least… Rock Steady Crew 40th Anniversary featuring MC Lyte! Holy crap this is going to be an awesome summer.

The Roots @ the Lowdown Hudson Music Fest

Lowdown Hudson Music Fest down in Brookfield Place in TriBeCa isn’t nearly  as expansive as SummerStage stage, but it’s more current than nostalgic. Last year I got to see The Roots. I missed The Roots Picnic and was pretty bummed that I didn’t win tickets. This made up for it in a big way.

This year’s Fest is on July 18th & 19th. Common plays on Tuesday and OK GO on Wednesday. I think I’m going to catch that OK GO show! It should be lots of fun.

I have to get my calendar organized. This is going to be one busy summer!

Gird Your Loins! SummerStage is here! The Lowdown Hudson Music Fest ain't too shabby either. CityParks' SummerStage is the be all and end all of free summer event lineups. Oh, do you scoff?

Hello again, everyone!

We'd like to welcome all King's Avatar fans to the second year of our fan-made calendar!

Like before, this free digital fan calendar will comprise of 12 themed artworks and fics, for each of the 12 months, as well as 1 cover art, which will then be available in late December for everyone to view and download.

Contributor sign ups for the 2025 calendar are now open! They will be closed August 4, 2024 so come sign up before then!

New this year: This year, we are allowing people to sign up as a pair. This means two people will work together in one role. In other words, two people collaborate to make one fic or one art piece for a month. The pair will be treated as a single entity and, like all other single contributors, will also be paired with someone else in their assigned month.

And of course, you can find the rules and guidelines here, and our new schedule for this year can be found here. The final submission date will be November 30, 2024.

We hope to see you join us for another year! If you have any questions, feel free to drop by and send us an ask or check out our FAQ page (to be updated as needed)!

Presenting our 2024 Calendar Lineup!

Hi Everyone!

We're excited to share a preview of our 2024 TKA/QZGS calendar! Check out our cover art and lineup of spectacular contributors for this year!

The final 2024 fan calendar is scheduled to be released on December 28, 2023, so stay tuned!

[tka-calendar]

To all applicants for the 2024 TKA/QZGS Fan calendar: results and invite links have been sent out so please be sure to check your dms and emails!

We've got a smaller number of people this year so it'll be more of a large collaborative event, a more chill type of project.

If you forgot to apply but are interested and would still like to apply, feel free to submit an application! Our sign ups form has not been officially closed yet :)

Hello, are you going to use / allow both novel canon and live action canon?

Yup! Both of those will be allowed, as well as from the animated show.

The calendar is to celebrate tka in all forms :)

Last day to sign up for the king's avatar calendar!! Hop on by if you're interested!

Regarding the “no holidays” rule, would you consider allowing depictions of holidays that have appeared in canon? In-game Glory holiday events (eg Christmas, Halloween) have served as backdrops for entire story arcs, and China’s real world holidays help develop the characters (eg Ye Qiu wanting Ye Xiu to return home for Spring Festival, Chen Guo reflecting on their team’s progress during Qingming or Christmas).

The "no holidays" rule was more to prevent participants from focusing on the holidays only. We want to create a calendar focused on TKA, not the holidays.

That being said, we will allow holidays but only in terms of it not being the main focus of the fic/art--so depictions of the holidays and using the holidays as a way to explore other things would be allowed.

Calling all TKA/QZGS fans!

The King's Avatar calendar will be a collaboration project among a group of artists and writers. Artists and writers will be paired and assigned a focus character/cast of characters and a month, and will decide on a theme/topic to create for.

The final result will be a free, digital calendar (pdf and image versions will be available), featuring 12 artworks and 12 fics for each month, as well as a cover art.

This year, the creation period will be from October to mid-December. Check out the full schedule here.
