Backfilled September in my vertical Kinbor weeks!

This is officially the Beast Drive blog's first attempt at stirring up some community creativity in the Bloody Roar zone on tumblr. Because the fanspace here is pretty quiet I thought starting off with monthlies to avoid clogging up the tags would be a good idea.

If you're interested in Bloody Roar and want to participate, read on!

How to Participate

Everyone interested is welcomed and encouraged to contribute!

These prompt responses are due by August 31st

You can respond to any/all prompts!

You can make multiple entries for the same prompt, if you want to focus on different things in each response.

You can submit entries by reblogging this post, making a submission through this blog, or using the respective @beastdrive / #beastdrive notifications and clearly marking the prompt.

There's no real restrictions or heavy guidelines on how you're supposed to engage with these prompts but, loosely:

Meta Analysis prompts are intended for "out of character" thinking and discussions about the lore or world of Bloody Roar.

Scene Setting prompts are meant to help inspire more character focused analysis, headcanons, visual art and other works.

Dynamic Drabble prompts are supposed to get the gears turning on some sort of fanfiction one-shot based on the provided theme.

The point of these prompts is simply to get more engagement within the Bloody Roar fanspace. You do not need to submit polished work here, just share what you thought about or wanted to make!

You're always welcomed and encouraged to continue work on anything you submit if you want to keep running with your ideas.

Meta Analysis

Scene Setting

Think about how their fighting styles compliment each character's personalities and showcase how they move says so much about their attitude or approach to life.

The steely coolness of humanity,

the loneliness of the masses

and the comfort found in solitude.

It blinds and reveals, hurts and heals.
