#gnomevember

Rules:

1. 18+ only

2. All forms of creative works welcome

3. NO AI - this collection is for human works only! It doesn't have to be perfect, it does have to be yours so this includes no use of AI for any editing or assistance at any stage.

4. At least one gnome must be the focus of the work, but they can be paired with any character(s).

5. The collection will be revealed on 1st November - if you wish to change your posting date to 1st November when it arrives to ensure your work will show up on the new works listings, this is fine. It is only poor etiquette to change posting date for the new listings if it has already been on the new pages and visible.

6. Please keep the works gnome positive, so avoid any character bashing - we're here to show the gnomes some love, and yes that does include Wulbren Bongle, the Bongleheads are valid in loving this Tumblr Sexyman Short King!

7. Late entries can be added until the end of the year, the collection will remain open as a celebration for everyone to enjoy and be inspired by~

8. For any other questions or issues please get in touch with me, Tavylia Sin, on Bsky, Tumblr, or Discord.

FAQs:

Which gnomes can I include? Any! If they're in Baldur's Gate, or even an OC that is connected to the characters or story somehow, they're welcome in!

Do pairings have to be Gnome x Gnome? As long as there's at least one gnome in the focus of the piece, it counts!

How do I know which gnome(s) to create things for? Well, that's up to you, but if you want some random inspiration Lula collected all of the canon gnomes from the game in a big list so I could make a wheel for them. There are actually 2 wheels to spin here, but you can choose one gnome, both, or spin as many times as you like until you feel happy with your selection! Click here to spin the Wheel of Gnomes!

I'm not sure about creating something NSFW, can I still participate? Not feeling the Gnome smut? Feel free to throw in some SFW Gnomeance instead! Either way, let's show our short court some love~

I want to create something but I'm not sure about a prompt, what do I do? Get in touch with Tavylia Sin (me!) on Bsky, Tumblr, or Discord - this wrinkly electric jelly of mine can often spit out a hundred ideas I have no time to write, and I love thinking about how characters might work together. This is the brain that brought you such horrors/wonders as BongleTash (Wulbren Bongle/Enver Gortash), Barcus/Volothamp Geddarm, and even a sweet way for Barcus and Wulbren to find a future together (even if it means Wulbren has a whole lot of work to do to be worthy of it)
