#glaivebulletin

Because of RL craziness, we haven't gotten our usual post-event survey up earlier, but it at last is here! To save time, we've combined it with the interest check for Kingsglaive: Legends (and maybe Lore) - our other event week related to the canon glaives (and OCs and the organization as a whole, in the case of Lore).

Please do take the survey, because it lets us know where to focus our time, and how we can make our events like Nyx Week better for everyone (or even just less annoying).

The survey will be open through 8/8, ending at midnight PDT.

Thank you so much to everyone who responded to our last survey! We really appreciate every bit of feedback we can get.

And, yes, the bribes were successful. We reached the goal, so the map post is in the works!

In the meantime, it's time for actual voting for dates and prompts for Legends. As a reminder, Legends is our event focused on the canon members of the Kingsglaive.

Based on feedback, we're going to do Legends as a week-long event again, this time in late October/early November, though as always you can participate in as much or as little as you like. We just want more about the glaives!

We have a couple different options regarding the format of the event this year, so please let us know which you prefer!

We had a lot of fun with Nyx Week last year, and are considering doing it again. We would love to hear your feedback on whether you are interested as well or would rather not. We know there are many wonderful events going on around the fandom, and it's easy to get burned out with too many of them.

Any feedback you could give would be wonderful. And don't forget that the Lore wrap-up survey is also going on right now! We would love your thoughts on Lore as well, whether you participated or didn't.

You read that correctly! The results are in and the date with the least amount of conflict was the weekend of January 6-9.

The second most popular themes from our last survey were the magic prompts, so we also voted among those, giving us the themes of: Lightning Warp Protect Free Day Just as a reminder, the Lore event is intended to be themed around the Kingsglaive as an organization and around OC Glaive characters. We look forward to seeing what everyone makes!

In the meantime, we'll be back at it with deep dives and some quizzes between now and then, so keep an eye out.

The Lore exit survey is here! Thanks so much for everyone who participated or plans to. We loved meeting some excellent OCs and hearing (or seeing) some wonderful theory about life among the Kingsglaive. If you still want to create content, don't worry! You can do so. We don't have a time limit. Just mention us if you do, as we probably won't be monitoring the tag at this point.

We'll post a NyxWeek23 interest check tomorrow, but we wanted to give Kingsglaive: Lore it's due as well. Please do take it, whether you created content, enjoyed it, or abstained. We'd love to get your feedback so we can continue to improve.

Thank you so much for everyone who filled out our survey!

The runaway most popular week is August 7-13! So we will see you then for fic, art, and more featuring the canon, named Glaives!

The prompt set that won in a close vote was:

Day 1: Recruitment Day 2: Training Day 3: Security Day 4: Combat Day 5: Intelligence Day 6: Logistics Day 7: Free Day With alternate prompts Morale and Medical! Each of the alternate prompts can replace any day of your choice, or none.

These prompts are meant to be quite broad. 'Logistics' could be 'why can't I find the thing for so-and-so's party?!' 'travel antics' or '...so I lost the thing, again.' 'Intelligence' can be overhearing something you're not supposed to (and misinterpreting it or using it as juicy gossip >.>) or sleuthing out the mystery of who keeps eating all the peanut butter bars. Etc etc. They do not have to be military-related at all!

We also are planning on making a special badge or award for people who include all the named glaives (Axis, Crowe, Drautos, Libertus, Luche, Nyx, Pelna, Sonitus, Tredd) in their works as more than background characters (think of it as at the level you would tag them on Ao3 or tumblr), so keep that in mind as you're creating!

Of course there's no punishment if you want to write the whole week about Axis, for instance, you just won't get a shiny pic.

We do intend to make some of our traditional deep dives, these focused on the canon glaives, between now and the event. We would have posted some these past weekends but RL has been crazy.

Sorry for the long delay; real life has somehow managed to keep all of us incredibly busy in the month since Kingsglaive: Legends. Thanks to everyone who participated or plans to! We had some lovely fics come out of it that we all enjoyed. As a result, we've combined the exit survey for Legends (where you tell us what we messed up or did well) with the surveys for Lore (where you vote between prompts and select which dates work best for you) and a little on events we might run next year. As a reminder, Kingsglaive: Lore is the partner event for Legends, a weekend-long event focusing on the Kingsglaive organization as a whole and also OC glaives. We look forward to hearing from you, and hope you've had a great September!

Thank you so much for everyone who participated in our Nyx Week 2022! We had some amazing stories and artwork and a lot of amazing participants.

We always intended this account to host events for other characters from the Kingsglaive movie, but we wanted to reach out and see what sort of events people might be interested in, or how they'd like to participate. If you're interested (or if you're not, and would rather we stop bombarding you) we have a new survey up until May 27th at midnight PDT.
