MDZS Language Fest is officially a go!
This is the official post to announce the beginning of MDZS fandom’s multilingual fest that we did an interest check for a while ago. Back then the feedback we got was overwhelmingly positive, so we are hoping that as many as possible join and enjoy this event! To achieve this, we also appreciate signal boosts through reblogging this post ^^
This is a fan fest aimed to celebrate the linguistic diversity of the Mo Dao Zu Shi fandom here on tumblr
The point is to create original content in a form of your own choice: gifs, graphics, edits, fanart, fanfic, video edits - your pick! All types of content are welcomed!
Tie your creation to a language you feel connected to. It can be your native tongue but it can also be a language you studied or a language you just feel calling for you! (Any language is welcome, including and especially Mandarin and Cantonese! English isn’t excluded but we wish it to not be the focus here)
The event runs for a week from November 22nd to 28th so prepare to be ready then!
Follow the event blog and reblog this post so that as many as possible may take part in on the fun
Use the tag #mdzsmultilingual21 preferably amongst the first five tags of your post so that we can catch your creation and reblog it to this blog
Mention the language(s) you used in the caption of your post and preferably provide an English translation for everyone to enjoy
You may post as many creations as you want for each day! We are not going to limit your creativity
What if I don’t have any ideas?
We offer you daily prompts that you can use as inspiration! Here you go:
Monday 22nd: red, mythology, rich and poor
Tuesday 23rd: orange, family, slow and fast
Wednesday 24th: yellow, grief, exciting and boring
Thursday 25th: green, friendship, old and young
Friday 26th: blue, joy, dead and alive
Saturday 27th: purple, romance, steady and unsteady
Sunday 28th: black & white, flowers, deep and shallow
Using these prompts isn’t required. You can use as many or as few of these prompts as you like for each day; we would only be happy if you let us know in the caption of your post what prompts you used if you decided to use them at all! Also, schedule your post to be posted on the date of the corresponding prompt so that it’s easy to connect.
Feel free to also mix and match prompts between different days etc. and then post accordingly. These are merely ideas that we wanted to throw at people to see what might happen.
We will not tolerate stolen/reposted content or claiming someone else’s creation as your own.
We also won’t be reblogging any NSFW content to this blog during this event (Though everyone is of course free to create some if that’s where your mind goes! Links to plainly instigated NSFW posts are fine)
An exception to this rule is explicit fanfic, as long as the explicit content is behind a link to a different site, for example Ao3. (For the detailed rules concerning fics we reblog, please have a look at our FAQ / mobile FAQ)
If you have any other questions, please refer to our FAQ page (mobile FAQ) or if even that doesn’t help you, please drop us an ask! We are happy to help you ^^
A big thank you to @wangxianbunnydoodles for her help with the characters depicted in our icon!
