#ladiesfirstcollab

「Ladies First」 is a multi-fandom collection of fanart and fanfiction made by different users to celebrate their favourite BL visual novel titles.

The works in this collab are all connected with the theme of “female characters in BLVNs.” Participants were invited to create fanworks centring around the various female side characters that support (and sometimes oppose) the protagonists in this, by definition, very male-centric genre, as a way of giving them some much-deserved time in the spotlight.

The final product of this collab. has been presented in the form of an online anthology, featuring over a dozen different characters from a range of different BLVNs.

Huge thank you to everyone who took part! Without your efforts, this collab. would never have existed!

We hope you all enjoy looking through everyone’s fanworks!

Here’s the Kyrie I drew for 「Ladies First」!

As a result of a number of participants being forced to drop out before the deadline, we’ve decided to reopen submissions for this female character-centric BLVN collab for one more month! This will allow those people who were forced to drop the chance to finish what they were originally planning, as well as allow new entries from people who were unavailable during the original period (and those who only had time for one entry who want to sign up for another).

Sign-ups for new entries will be open for two weeks (until November 11th, 24:00 AEST), with a further two weeks until the due date (November 25th, 24:00). We will not be accepting any more submissions after this date, without exception.

All sign-ups sent in originally that we did not receive any submissions for will now be considered void, so if you wish to continue your original entry, you will need to sign up again.

For more information about the format of this collab. and how you can take part, please see this page.

Please feel free to send a message via this blog’s ask box, contact us on twitteror join our discord server if you want to know more.

There's now just under two weeks left to sign up to take part in this female character-centred BLVN fanwork collab!

As well as sign-ups closing on  September 30th (24:00 AEST), that date also marks the beginning of the check-in period for participants to show us their progress so far! So if you have signed up/wish to sign up, please make sure you have something prepared by then if you want to keep your spot in the collab!

We've already had a lot of interest in the collab so far, and want to thank everyone who has signed up so far!

We have a page on our tumblr that lists all the games and characters that have been chosen so far, so be sure to take a look!
