[Yullen Week 2011] Open Discussion
This year, we weren't able to have Yullen Week on Kanda’s birthday. However, the celebration will still be held with a new concept. Yullen Week 2011 will run over for two whole weeks, starting December 18th and ending December, 31st, 2011, to celebrate both Allen’s and Kanda’s (belated) birthday! And of course, this will be a Christmas and New Year’s gift for us ^^
We’re going to have a festival, and both Yullen and Arekan fans are invited to join the party! We also encourage not only authors, but also artists, cosplayers, graphic designers, and practically every Yullen/Arekan fan, regardless what your field is, to join us! Because as we have stated on our profile, this community was formed to widen the scope of Yullen Week participants and archive all varieties of works, be it wallpaper, fanfiction, fanart, icon, doll photos, cosplay photos, or whatever you could think of.
We also encourage any kind of relationship between the two, whether it's friendship, bromance, or family piece; it's not limited to romance, as long as it is about Kanda and Allen. Let your creativity run wild, there’s no limitation! But there’s one thing we’d like to ask you, please always put the following information about your work:
- Pairing (whether you make a Yullen, Arekan, or even a reversible piece).
- Rating.
- Theme and day.
- Warning (if necessary).
Themes
This year, we’ll be holding celebration weeks. In other words, 14 days of celebration. Thus, we will have a total of 14 themes! Is it too many? Of course not! Because you are not obligated to submit all of the themes. Still, we greatly encourage you to finish at least 7 themes (or even all the 14!).
Then, the 14 themes will be divided in two:
- 7 basic themes.
- 7 additional themes (or you can say, these are the optional themes).
Each basic theme lasts for 2 days. The table below is our example:
DecemberTheme18Basic Theme 119-20Basic Theme 221-22Basic Theme 323-24Basic Theme 425-26Basic Theme 527-28Basic Theme 629-30Basic Theme 7
Because each theme is for 2 days, you can choose to publish your work anytime during that 2 days period. For example, you can choose to submit your Basic-Theme-1 on either December 18th or 19th.
Alternatively, you can even publish 2 submissions with the same theme if you have the idea for it (i.e. December 18th you publish Basic-Theme-1 fanfiction, and December 19th you publish Basic-Theme-1 fanart).
But if you want to work on a new theme, we provide 7 additional themes for you to use, too. You are free to choose the themes, because they are not restricted by dates. You can also use them as replacement for the basic themes if you can't come up with the idea.
So how is it? Isn’t it fun? :D
Again, everybody is encouraged to share their works, no matter if it's only 1, 2, 7, or even 14 pieces! Late submissions are accepted, just like the past Yullen Week. But of course, if you can finish at least 7 themes on time, we will give you a token of appreciation. Our banner maker will give you a banner! And if you can finish all of the 14 themes on time, we will give you a special banner with the picture of your choice for your achievement!
But what if you post 14 submissions with only 7 themes? You can do this, because each theme is for 2 days (as explained above). We will still give you the special banner, because you’ve succeeded to submit 14 submissions on time! ^^
So be creative, be joyful, have a celebration!
