#hijiokiweekend

Write a quick drabble inspired by this gif!

Half a week later than expected, the blog is up and running! Let’s get to the announcement: 

Date: 23~25th November

Theme: Language of Flowers

The theme has been inspired by my love for hanakotoba’s expressive but subtle nature and the ways it can represent a relationship best kept in secret and maybe even denied by the two lovers.

Prompt list:

There are two sets of prompts that can be freely chosen from or combined however you like! The first set is a list of general one-word prompts that reflect to their dynamics, and the second list consists of flower names reflecting to the nature of their relationship with their meanings, all explained here for your convenience.

General Prompts:

Day 1: Pride Day 2: Possession Day 3: Affection

Hanakotoba Prompts:

1. Kuroyuri (Chocolate Lily): One of the many flowers of love, but also one of curses and bad omen.

2. Saboten (Cactus Flower): The flower of lust and desire. 

3. Higanbana (Spider Lily): The flower of death, abandon, and lost memories.

Not feeling like any of those? All other works can be submitted under Mute Flowers any day of the event.

You also don’t have to make them a romantic pair to have your story featured. Platonic works will have their own tag, #rivals in loyalty.

Any kind of your original work will be accepted.

Fanfiction (any length), poetry, fan art, essay, cosplay pictures, AMVs, edits, moodboards, gifs… you name it. The point is to unleash your unique imagination and have fun.

Rules:

1. Post own works only. Comissions made for you can be in exception, if the artist is okay with it and is given credit.

2. Use tag #hijiokiweekend2018 and tag the event blog (@hijokiweekend) to make sure your work is found and featured.

3. Insert cut into entries that are longer (2+ pages) or not safe for work.

4. Tag nsfw accordingly, within first five tags.

5. In case of cosplay pictures, ask permission of photographer and all models and credit their main social media/tumblr properly (artist name+link).

I’m really looking forward to all your submissions! Don’t push yourselves, participate much or as little as you like. The point is to celebrate the pair, romantic or platonic.

You can check the rules and prompts out in the latest reblog, finish what's there in your stash, spell-check and polish what's done!

In the meantime, here's a quick game:
