FINAL FANTASY KISS BATTLE 2021!

[seventhe]

HELLO FRIENDS????? Remember those fandoms we all used to be in? and producing things for? Well, baby, it's time for a nostalgia run, so buckle up your chocobos and get ready to roll. We haven't done a Kiss Battle in years and lassarina and I for one think it's TIME TO DO SO.

This event is open to everyone, even if we aren't DW circlefriends! (feel free to friend me too; i promise i'm not crazy that's a lie). If you aren't on DW, you can still play via anon or OpenID!

The Kiss Battle is simple. Players leave prompts in comments under each specific fandom, using generalized fandom nomenclature: a relationship of some sort, and a concept to inspire other players.

• For romantic relationship kisses, we use X / Y
• For platonic relationship kisses, we use X & Y
• Absolutely open to relationships with more than 2 people involved! X / Y / Z (/ A / B ...) welcome to this party!
• Prompts can be a word, a sentence, an image, a song lyric; it's a suggestion, rather than a request
• it's a kiss battle! there will be smooches!

Players then go looking for smoochin' prompts they'd like to fill. Fills can be fic, art, interpretive dance, whatever you're inspired to; they can be filled in a responding comment, or as a link (to AO3, tumblr, etc). FILLS GOTTA HAVE A KISS IN 'EM. IT'S A KISS BATTLE. What counts as a "kiss" is up to you, though -- you can be creative!

• Fills should use the comment header to let people know what the fill is; please use a format like "X / Y, (title), (rating), (any content warnings that might apply)"
  
  • "Aerith/Tifa, memorial, G"
  • "Cloud/Squall, just in time, R (blood)"
• Prompts can be filled multiple times! Don't worry if someone got there first; we love Two Cakes up in this event! The more kisses we get, the better!
• You can fill as anon if you want/need for any reason
• You can of course crosspost anywhere you'd like

It's a very simple game, and is meant to be played in good faith without anybody being a shitbag about pairings or characters. We're all too old for this.

Comments or Questions?

FINAL FANTASY FRIENDING THREAD

[seventhe]

Looking for FF friends? Talk to us about:

• your fandom name / pronouns
• other social accounts you'd like to share (tumblr, AO3, insta, etc)
• FFs you're familiar with
• fandoms you're active in at the moment
• favorite FF characters or ships
• something fun or witty idk how do people make friends

and anything else you'd like to share! Feel free to comment on each other's entries and get to know the crew!

Re: FINAL FANTASY FRIENDING THREAD

[althea_valara]

What a cool idea you two are doing! I would love more FF friends!

• My name is althea_valara, also known around some parts as Althea Valara. Pronouns are she/her


• xnera, AltheaValara


• I am familiar with the following: FFI, FFII, FFIII, FFIV (haven't played After Years), FFV, FFVI, FFVII (haven't finished Remake yet), FFVII:Crisis Core, Advent Children, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFXI (my former love), FFXII, FFXIII & XIII-2, FFXIV (my current love), FFXV, FFBE, FF:The Spirits Within


• I'm not really active in fandom, to be honest, but I'm thinking of changing that this year. I do post screenshots of XIV and FFBE at my twitter account (AltheaValara) and I do make FF fan art in the form of knitting/crochet, some of which is posted at xnera


• Favorite ships: well, I don't read fanfic (yet: this might change this year) so I don't have any strong ships, but I do like the idea of Lasswell/Rain/Fina from FFBE. I am very much enjoying the Alisaie/Warrior of Light innuendos in XIV, and am convinced Beatin & Gairhard from the XIV Carpenter quests are lovers. *nods*


• So, my journal is one part squeeing over video games, one part writing about therapy sessions, and one part everyday life stuff. I have various mental illnesses but I've been stable for the past few years. Still, I wanted to warn any potential new friends that I do a lot of working through my neuroses in my journal.
