Hello! This is mod Angerfish from last years Gemsona Week! I’m excited to be back again. This time around, I won’t be quite so involved on the Gemsona Week blog as before, but instead I’ll be handling this end of things: Our first ever HALL OF GEMS !

✩ THE HALL OF GEMS OPENS FOR SUBMISSIONS on Tuesday, March 22nd and CLOSES SUBMISSIONS on Monday, March 28th. ✩

★ What is the Hall of Gems? ★

The Hall of Gems is annual catalog of gemsonas submitted to this blog during the duration of Gemsona Week (3/21 through 3/27). It is fairly similar to the previous Gem Fusion Project, with gemsonas being submitted and published on the blog. The core difference between Gem Fusions and the Hall of Gems is that the gem(s) you submit will not be shuffled and paired up for fusion. This is not a roll-call for fusion, but rather a nifty little spotlight for your active gemsonas on our official 2016 list! 

As a result, we’re going to be a LOT less strict about submission policies.

✩ NOTE: You may submit ANY and ALL gemsonas that you’ve created! There’s no limit, however we only allow ONE submission per gemsona character. Choose your submission illustration wisely and don’t rush it! We can’t guarantee timely edits to your submission. 

✩ MINIMUM Requirements for a Hall of Gems Submission:

Reference sheet or illustration of your gemsona. We just need some kind of visual!

Your tumblr url and gemsona’s gem type in the text post portion of your submission. 

Here is an example of what a reference sheet might look like:

Illustrations do not have to be full color and reference-worthy, though we absolutely encourage it! Strong reference material might mean someone will surprise you with gift art of your gemsona!

For the written description underneath, you can either format it like the original Gem Fusion project or do something unique to you. How you format your text is ultimately up to you! All that we ask is that you include the following minimum requirement:

[Gem Name] by [Tumblr username, linked to your blog]

Gem Type: [Insert gem type so I can tag it accordingly]

The rest is up to you. If you submit an essay, however, I will place a portion under a “read more”.

Last thing: You have until Monday, March 28th to submit gems. After that, sorry, the Hall of Gems will be closed for 2016! I will be uploading submissions at a pace I can manage with my work schedule. So don’t be alarmed if you don’t see your gemsona immediately on the blog or even the day after you submit it. I’ll keep on processing the submissions I received before submissions closed, even after gemsona week has technically ended.
