#vncmonth19

Hello Pandora Hearts and Vanitas no Carte fans!!! 

I (@i-prefer-the-term-antihero) will be hosting phmonth this year, to give our beloved @maddyisenough more time and energy to dedicate to her school work! This is an event that regards the main trios (Golden Trio, Rainsworth Trio and Tragedy Trio) and a bonus week in which we focus on any ships/friendships/ot3 fans chose and love. You can create edits, fan arts, drabbles, fanfictions, amvs and mms.  

The time has arrived for us to prepare!

This year I am planning for it to be from November 10th– December 7th! But even if you’re busy those weeks, you can keep posting through December 31st!, we’ll keep reblogging!  

I think it’s going to go pretty similar to last year—week one will be for the Golden Trio, week 2 the Rainsworth trio, week 3 the Tragedy trio, week 4 for for any ships, etc, unless anyone wants it to be different! I will create lists of potential short prompts/themes, and you guys can vote, and the 7 most popular for each category will be the 7 daily prompts for that week, just like last year! 

It doesn’t matter if you can post every day, or if you can only post one fic all month, please join!! We want to see you have to offer!! 

HOWEVER! Maddy has informed me that many of you want to include Vanitas no Carte this year, and I am trying to figure out how to include it, and would love your input! 

Maddy had the lovely idea to make VNC the last week of Phmonth this year—instead of ph ships. Either that or I could add a fifth week for it, making the event last through Dec 14th. I think in this case that the week-theme would simply be VNC in general, and you can pick whichever characters you want to write about, but I would still compile a prompt list to vote on!

Another idea I had was to basically make a vncmonth alongside our phmonth. This could either be the same daily prompts, but different character groupings, or a different set of prompts too. I would probably make a vncmonth blog just to keep everything neat—but I can put everything here if nobody minds. 

Now, if we go with this idea, it may be easier, on both me as the admin, and those who want to participate in both phmonth and vncmonth, to have vncmonth take place after phmonth (like january/February)…What would be easier for you guys? To have them happen  at the same time, or one after the other? Or even just later in 2020, if not right after phmonth?

Also, if we went with idea 2, what character groupings do you guys think would work best? I was thinking maybe week 1 would be our main characters group…so Noe, Vanitas, Dominique, and Dante, Johann and Riche. Louis could be included in here too. Then week 2 or 3 could be the chasseurs group—so Roland, Maria, Georges, Olivier, and Astolfo. Then week 2 or 3 could be the past group of Ruthven, Chloe, Jeanne, and I’d probably put Luca in here too... Last week would be ships. 

What are your thoughts? Which idea do you think would work better? Do you guys have any other ideas for how to include VNC? Do you like the format of phmonth, or do you have any ideas to change it as well? 

Please reblog this to get the word out!! 

Here is the link to the prompts list to vote on for phmonth this year!! Please vote for 7 in each category!! The voting period will end November 3rd (a week before it starts).

I decided to make it on google sheets because I thought it would be easier to keep it all in one place. Don’t worry, I’m not collecting emails, so it’s still anonymous. If you don’t plan on participating in all the weeks, and only want to vote on one or two, that’s fine!! I only made one of the questions required (because I feared most people wouldn’t answer it otherwise). Also, feel free to still vote, even if you don’t plan on participating!! The more people voting the more helpful it’ll be.

Because I haven’t gotten much feedback on what method of including VNC people would most like, I both asked again in the survey, and basically included all the ideas within this survey—I picked prompts I thought would work for both ph and VNC character groups if we do the month, and I added a fifth VNC week prompt list if we add a week, just so I wouldn’t have to redo anything after it's decided.

Also, if you guys want to replace week 4 as VNC week, but you like the week 5 prompts more than the week 4 ones for VNC, I can definitely do that!

And just to be clear:

Golden Trio (and potentially VNC main characters) week is November 10th—Nov 16th

Rainsworth Trio (and potentially VNC chasseurs) week is November 17th—23rd

Tragedy Trio (and potentially VNC past characters) week is November 24th—30th

Fan’s Choice week (ships, friendships, ot3s, but really this week can be anything you like, it doesn’t have to be ships), or potentially VNC week, is December 1st—7th

And IF people vote most for a 5th VNC week, that would be December 8th—14th

Then after that you can post for any characters/prompts through December 31st!! Also, if you are late, that’s okay—if you post for, say Golden Trio week during Tragedy Trio week, we will still reblog it!!

I hope you guys like the prompts!!

It’s still early to know anything for sure, but so far I’m noticing for each group there are one or two specific prompts almost everyone seems to like, and I’d love to put these on a day of the week that is easy for most people can work/post something on. 

I’m thinking maybe Saturday would be good, because that’s the last day of the week, and therefore people will have the most time to work on that prompt? Plus it’s a weekend so people won't be working/at school? But I’m not sure if weekdays are better for most people...

Thoughts?
