Q&A

Do I have to reuse my old OC form? [Past Mayday!Heyday and Spill The Tea! Participants]

No! You are free to submit a new one. If you don't have the old form available and would like to copy parts of it, I can access the file for you. However, you can also re-do it from scratch.

I am not sure if I will have enough information to work with an OC.

If you wanted to make an OC work, but came across any missing information, you can reach out to us. We will ask your giftee for clarification.

If it turns out that you can't work with the submitted OCs, that is fine too. We do not guarantee that any OC works will be created during the event.

I mentioned Midnight Cinderella, because many old time players still love it and I wanted to bring awareness to this game.

Please, please, please, if you were a MidCin player and feel comfortable working with the characters, do list them! If you have MidCin friends -- it is a huge favour to ask, but do let them know about us! We want to accommodate as many Ikemen games as possible, but given the general content of our blogs (and spam concerns), it isn't always easy to reach the players of the older titles.

If we can give you a chance to work with a MidCin chara, we will.

Would you assign someone a request from a game they haven't played and/or expressed interest in writing for that game?

No! During the sign-ups we ask for your preferences regarding preparing a gift, which includes selecting all the characters that you are willing to work with.

Other information we ask about includes what you plan to prepare (art or writing) or your preferences regarding creating OC works. We also leave a space for you to let us know about anything else you may consider necessary, e.g. tropes you are unwilling to work with or don't feel confident in.

The trailer begins with Dari playing the puppeteer who controls Ring. I like to see a deeper meaning in this. Like… when did it start, what was the reason? Dari just does what he wants and doesn't think about other people's feelings, as I mentioned once. So… why does Ring agree to such treatment? Is it just his low self-esteem? Or something more?

I believe that the backstory of the twins will be described in more detail in Nica's route. But… I would like to see more interaction between twins. Cybird quite often separate twins (Revolution… one of them doesn't even remember the existence of the other, Prices and MidCin… they hardly interact), so this is a rare opportunity to see what they think the twins' interaction looks like. I do not know what is more interesting to me - to see real relationship or, finally, to see how the CyBird thinks about it itself.

If you think about it… The backstory of the twins in Princes was in both Nokto and Licht's Route, just from a slightly different angle. So maybe it's the same here. And (I do not know why I think that, I have no idea where I read it), since Ring doesn't remember much, it will not be so detailed.

This is the dream, but I would like to see at least some of the Crown. Since they didn't show up much on Victor's route, I'd like to see them at least here. But… Like I said… It's a dream. The plot is likely to focus very heavily on Vogel, and we may not see Crown often, if at all.

And one last thing… I'm praying… I really pray that Kate doesn't make another challenge. Really, Kate, stop it!
