VLD Tropes Fest

Announcing the first VLD Tropes Fest coming Fall 2017!

VLD Tropes Fest is a fandom fest event where authors and artists get one trope and are challenged to create a new work featuring that trope or to re-work, re-imagine, and bring their assigned trope to life in a fresh way! It is an all-inclusive event open to all creators, pairings, and content. The list of tropes gathered for the fest are a mix of time-honored cliches that we all know and love, as well as some Voltron-specific tropes that have cropped up in increasing popularity since the first season of the show. Participants are encouraged to interpret these tropes however they would like! We will also have a call for prompts over the summer months that will be compiled into a list after sign-ups and will be available for fest participants to claim for use in their submissions. This will be optional, you do not need to leave a prompt, or claim one, in order to participate.

Timeline
Sign Ups: September 25 - October 2
Optional Prompting Closes: October 1
Assignments Sent Out: October 10-11
Check-In #1: October 25
Check-In #2: November 6 (Mandatory)
Beta Sign Ups: November 7
Submissions Due: November 22
Posting Begins: November 25, 2017
Creation Period: October 11-November 22 (extensions on a case-by-case basis)

Creators will be revealed in a masterlist of all entries one week after the final work is posted!
