Quest 3 – Polyamory Appreciation Week
Quest Dates: 20/6/2021 - 26/6/2021
*Please wait to post your entries until the fest begins! It makes running the fest much easier for our guild keepers.
Welcome to The Guild's Next Quest!
[Before we continue, big thank you to @camelotsheart for this beautiful gif!!]
This week long mini fest is a Prompt Quest! There will be an overall, general theme to stick to, and then 7 Prompts (one for each day) will be provided centering around the theme, for you to use in your fanworks if you so choose!
This week we are doing things a little differently! We will have Double Prompts.
By this we mean, writers will have a daily couple prompt. There will be alternate prompts offered, though, if a particular couple does not resonate with you but you still wish to participate everyday.
This weeks Theme: Polyamory Appreciation Week!
Your Quest this week is to use the prompts below in your Poly love-filled fanworks!
You do not have to participate everyday, if a particular prompt does not resonate with you! If you wish to make a fanwork for each day, that is spectacular and we cannot wait to see what you do! If you only want to do a few days, or even just one, that is still great and we can't wait to see what you do!
We aren't very picky here at the guild, but we do ask that your fanworks meet these minimums before you turn them in, and post them to the collection if you use Ao3!
***For Polyam Appreciation Week (lovingly acronym-ed PAW), we do require any works created contain a theme of polyamory! Gifmakers, editors and those who take from Merlin Footage, obviously have some leeway with this, but the implication at least should be there! This is Polyamory Appreciation Week, let's see some love for Poly love!!***
Fanfiction: 500 words minimum (no maxiumum!)
Artwork: 1 completed work minimum (when it comes to completed, we trust that whatever you create you believe is complete. That means that works do not have to have color or anything special. Whatever you believe is complete is good for us!)

Edits: 15 second minimum
Podfics: 5 minute minimum (with permission from writer, or clarification if you wrote the fic & recorded the podfic!)

Good luck, Adventurers! - The Guild Keepers
