The Dark Lord's Centennial
Art credit: Mellodee
In Honor of Tom Riddle | Lord Voldemort's 100th Birthday, You are cordially invited to The Dark Lord's Centennial.
You may pay homage to your Liege Dark Lord in the form of stories and artwork that befit the grandeur of his Supreme Majesty of the Dark Arts.
If your mental prowess is not as acute as our Venerable Dark Lord's, and you require assistance in the form of prompts for stories that would please our Lord and Master, such guidance shall be provided for you.
However, you are also welcome to come up with your own ideas, if you feel that you are up to the task.
Are there any requirements to the pairings: None! This is not a Tomione, Tomarry, Ronmort, Bellamort, Tyrtle, or Tombraxas etc. centric fest. This is a Tom Riddle | Voldemort centric fest. Any pairing is welcome. ANY. PAIRING.
Do you require there to be a ship at all? No actually! Not every story is a romance. There are plenty of wonderfully amazing stories that can be written about Tom Riddle | Voldemort that have no pairing as the focus of the story.
Are side pairings allowed? Absolutely yes! In stories that do not have Tom Riddle | Voldemort with a pairing, there are side pairings allowed. Anything goes, as long as the Birthday Boy is the main focus.
Can more than one person claim a prompt? Yes! There is no limit to how many people can claim a prompt. With the ships being open, we will have a variety of different story possibilities even with the same prompt, so there is no limit to how many people can claim it.
Can I claim more than one prompt? Yes, but make sure that you don't overextend yourself. If you are planning on making several drabbles, then you can claim as many as you like. If you're planning on writing an epic length story, maybe you should limit it to just one. If you are a prolific artist, you can claim as many as you wish.
- NO AI IS ALLOWED IN THIS FEST. This fest is to celebrate HUMAN creativity. If you are not able to create any writing or art without the use of AI, then you will not be able to share it to the collection. We would prefer stick figure drawings, and rudimentary writing to AI slop. As long as it has been written or drawn by you, we will accept your efforts. Lord Voldemort is not impressed by trying to impress the masses with soulless computer generated "art" and neither are we.
- All stories and/or art must feature Tom Riddle| Voldemort as the main character. This is a fest that is celebrating him, so let's make sure he knows that he's the star of the show.
- There are no rules for the pairings. As long as Tom Riddle or Voldemort is the main attraction, there can be any pairing for him, or even no pairing at all!
- minimum of 750 words, and there is no upper limit.
- Completed works are preferred, but WIPs can be entered as long as you feel reasonably confident that you are able to complete your story.
- No extreme underage depictions of an explicit nature. The minimum age we will allow any on-page E rated content is age 16, as this is the age of consent in most countries. If you feel like your story needs to have things happen to younger characters, they cannot be written out explicitly. Bad things happen to young people, we don't need to graphically depict that here.
- Dead Dove fics, and darker themed stories are absolutely allowed. Just be sure to tag appropriately.
- Prompts are allowed to use gifs and fan art images. However if you use fan art, you must give credit to the artist in your prompt. Ideally, you should also ask the artist for permission to use their art in your prompt, if possible. If you do not at the least give credit to the artist in your prompt, your prompt WILL be deleted.
