seventhemurderstomps into the lecture three days late with starbucks what's UP CHUCKLEFUCKS it's time for your favorite kissy event of the year: Final Fantasy Kiss Battle 2023 is a GOOOOO!
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 but at least i'm sometimes funny). 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)"
- "Eiko & Vivi, friendship, G"
- "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.
FANDOM LINKS Fandoms with compilations and expansions should fall into their titled macrofandom. For example:
- FFXIII also includes FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns (FFXIII-3)
- FFX also includes X-2
- FFIV includes the After Years
If you need to specify a certain microfandom / singular canon, please do so in the prompt or in the comment header!

Re: FINAL FANTASY FRIENDING THREAD
Date: 2023-02-18 04:42 am (UTC)I am more familiar with FF6-15 than the earlier games. Also love various FF spin offs too. FF12 is a major fave of mine. FF7 and all of its spin-offs plus remake are my zero-regrets guilty pleasure and my original intro to the franchise. Recently I have been meaning to play all of the FF games that I haven't played plus replay ones that I have mostly forgotten so I can roll around in the nostalgic goodness.
I love crack pairings, odd pairings, and rare pairs, but I kind of ship everyone/everyone purely for the writerly challenge because it makes me think. I tend to avoid squee around popular antagonists but when a prompt or premise strikes me as interesting, I'll jump in and play too. For the past bunch of years I have been threatening to complete and begin posting my FFVII Vincent/&Lucrecia epic (in which things are very complex).
My current active (big) fandoms are The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077. I love what the Netflix series has done with the women in the Witcher universe. For CP2077 I am a Judy/Fem!V and a Goro/V shipper. I still hang out with Dragon Age fandom, mostly to think about what DA2 did well versus what it could have been. Mostly interested in the Mage characters in DA. Big love for Persona 5 (and the whole series of games). In general, I am a dark academia fan from before dark academia became a Thing(tm) -- I love explorations of academia and academic-like settings gone very very wrong, which is one of the themes that comes up in my fanfic.
My DW is most (but not entirely) friendslocked where I ramble about creativity and other things.

Some day before they stuff me in the old age home I will move all of my scattered fanfic over to my AO3 account although a good bit is there right now: sarasa_cat

Date: 2023-02-18 07:11 am (UTC)So here I am, introducing myself. Hello! I'm Riona; I'm also a Final Fantasy fan who's largely into VI to XV. I got very into Persona during lockdown, too; it was a great time to launch into several massive JRPGs. If you're up for it, I'd be interested in subscribing to you!
