THE FIRST MLP WRITEFRIEND/DRAWFRIEND FRIEND-OFF
WHAT? Writefriends take somebody else's drawing, and they write a story about it. Drawfriends take a story, and make a drawing of it. Conceivably you could redraw a drawing, or retell a story, but it should be very creative.
WHY? Friendship is magic. Anybody who contributes to this community knows how good it feels to get a positive reaction. And there's no higher form of flattery then when your contribution inspires another contribution. Also, it strengthens the community, encourages new contributions, provides recognition to lesser known contributors, fleshes out fanon, etc. Also, helps kill the lull between episodes, and it should just be fun.
HOW? Pick something and do your thing. Could be a rough sketch in paint or a single paragraph or two. Or you could really pull your heart into it. It's a big tent, and all inclusive. You can do fluff, shipping, grimdark, retard Derpy, misunderstood Derpy, etc. etc. Please give a title when you post it. Tripcodes not necessary, although it helps to give credit. Mention that it's for the "Friend-off" so we know what to do with it. Better names for this are welcome, if you have one.
WHEN? Post your stuff on Monday. Or at least repost it on Monday if you got impatient and posted it early.
WHO? Known interested contributors include:
High Fructose Porn Syrup
Hiro
SlyWit
discotecnica ottenta
caluriri
A Fistful of Apples
Pacce of the Many Mustaches
Choppers Top Hat
Armapillow
Anon (3-4)
All are welcome, the more the merrier
Please consider reposting this message in later generals. Morning, Afternoon, Evening, and Overseas bronies should all get a chance to participate. Update the interested contributor list as they come in.

Wait, when it this? Next monday (I.E. after the new episode)?
ReplyDeleteBecause if so, I'm in.
I believe so, though I didn't actually start this thing.
ReplyDeleteSo how do we actually 'contribute'? Do we post our contributions on 4chan and you collect 'em, or do we get an address?
ReplyDeleteIs commenting on one of your topics with a link to the work sufficient?
Having said such, I'd like to participate. Name is R.O. (On /co/, that is); I made that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-pony drawing.
Looks like whoever started it wants you to post your content on monday on /co/. The Friend-off isn't actually an equestria daily event thing.
ReplyDeleteIf you want something posted here, please hit up this thread with a link

And i'll toss it up, though I prefer to compile art into large posts since there is just so much of it, like.

Woot! I'm in, I've already got a couple ideas for this, working on one thing and might have time to finish a second. We'll see how it goes!
