Venomtime's Day 2020!

[cupidsbow]

Hi everyone,

As Venomtime's Day was so much fun last year, I'm running it again this year.

You can find it here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/venomtimes_day_2020/profile

When is Venomtime's Day being held?

• Saturday 1 February - collection opens for submissions.
• Thursday 13 February - submissions are due.
• Friday 14 February - works in the collection are revealed.
• Friday 21 February - works can be crossposted anywhere else you like.

How do I participate?

Create any type of fan work (meta, fic, vids, art, cosplay, playlist, etc) as long as it focuses on Eddie Brock and/or Venom from the film or comics, and post it to the Venomtime's Day collection on the AO3 by midnight GMT on 13 February. Your post will be hidden until the 14th February and revealed on Valentine's Day.

 

There are no sign-ups for this collection

Unlike some other exchanges, the fanworks are not done to fill a prompt by someone else. This is a chance to share your work as a gift to the whole Symbrock community. That said, prompts/requests or a Dear Venomtime's Day Letter can be posted to the Symbrock Dreamwidth community during February to help inspire people.

 

I have created a Venomtime's Day prompt post here: https://symbrock.dreamwidth.org/22912.html.

 

When are the gifts revealed?

On 14th February, at around 12 noon GMT, and announced on the Symbrock Dreamwidth community.

This year, submissions are anonymous when revealed, and will be revealed on Friday 21 Februrary.

Go forth and create!!!

 

Venomtime's Day 2020 prompt & letter post

[cupidsbow]

Hi everyone,

 

This is the promised prompt post for our Venomtime's Day fest.

 

You can find the fest's rules here, and the AO3 collection here. The deadline to submit a fest entry is midnight 13th February GMT.

 

While there's no official sign-up for this fest (just post to the collection when you're ready), if you're like me, sometimes it's useful to have some prompts for inspiration. This is the place to post prompts for the fest.

The rules

 

You can post two kinds of prompts here:

• A link that goes to a letter on your own journal/tumblr or whatever, which explains something you want in a bit of detail. This could be particularly useful for things like a songvid, where you might have a favourite song that you would like vidded to the Venom movie and/or the comics and you want to explain why. Another example might be if you are looking for a collaborator for a project for Valentine's Day -- say you are looking for a fic of the right length to podfic. The point of the letter is that it gives you a bit of room to explain what you're looking for and why, and gives you the option of screening comments if you're looking for a secret collaborator for your project and that kind of thing. 
• A short prompt here in the comments on this entry with one request in it. This is for if you have a particular craving for a story, piece of art, themed rec list, meta topic, etc, and you can easily get it down in a single comment.

You can leave up to three prompts or one link to a letter before posting anything to the fest collection. To be able to post further prompts, you need to post at least one gift to the collection -- that gift doesn't need to fill a prompt or letter on this post. Once you've posted a gift, you can post up to three more prompts. I doubt anyone would want to post more than one letter, but you can once you submit a gift to the collection if you really want to.

 

You can post prompts or letter any time from now until 13th February.

 

The focus should be on Eddie Brock, Venom, and/or any combination of Eddie and Venom, but it's also okay to ask for them in combination with other characters from the comics or movie.

 

For each prompt, post a new comment in a new thread (that is, not as a response to any other comment). Give a summary of the prompt in the header so it's easy to find, and the details in the comment itself. 

Make sure you include:

• Character or Relationship, Type of Fanwork, Requested Rating

 

For example:

 

Subject line: Prompt 3 - Eddie & Venom, Art, SFW

Body of comment: I really, really want Eddie & Venom on a spaceship! Pretty please with tentacles on top!

 

OR

 

Subject line: Letter - Trans Eddie, Podficcer looking for writer by 7 Feb, VNSFW

Body of comment: the link to your letter
