WAM PAIR-A-THON!! YEAR 3

Pair-A-Thon

That’s right! The Pair-a-Thon is here for the third round! We’ve got this annual thing down. I’m sure some of you were even waiting for it this time around. Yay! Few more changes this year so make sure to read all the rules! Or if you want, check out previous year’s entries to get inspired! :D

Let the Third Annual Adventures of Wiglaf & Mordred Pair-A-Thon Begin!

Entries must be received by February 7th!

WINNERS POSTED

See Below the Cut for more rules and information!

The Mission:

Your goal? Either draw or write about your favorite pairing in Wiglaf & Mordred. I don’t care if it’s canon (ex. Geoffry & Janus, Horatio & Viola) or completely random (ex. Grace x Camlann showed up last year). If it’s what you ship – go for it. Just make sure to keep it clean and follow the rules.  :$

All entries will be posted on a separate ‘Entries’ Page (and I’ll link to this blog from the gallery page, too!) and will remain up indefinitely. So even if you don’t win – you still get a little attention!

NEW: This year I will be accepting written entries! Due to the nature of written vs drawn & finding it personally difficult to compare the two mediums, they will be judged separately.

Also – just for kicks: Mirrorverse!Versions of the characters will be welcome. XD Just to shake things up.

The Voting:

All entries must be in by February 7. At that point, a link to all entries will be posted on this blog post. On February 8 I’ll start accepting your votes for the winner!

From February 8th to the 13th (10PM EST) I will be accepting votes via e-mail. More information when the voting process begins. But the gist is: 1 E-mail Per Person with 2 Votes.

The Prize:

The following prizes will be given to both the winner of the drawn/art entries as well as the written entries.

The 1st Place Winner will receive:

1. 2500 points at Deviantart (You are welcome to donate your  points to a friend if you do not want them.)*

2. Choice of image for next WaM Pin-Up image. (What characters & what they’re doing, etc.)

The Second & Third place entries will receive:

1. Choice of image for WaM Pin-Up image. (What characters & what they’re doing, etc.)

The Rules:

1. Entries must be e-mailed to me at pairathon@wiglafandmordred.com by February 7th. (12 AM EST Feb. 8th to be exact.)

2. Keep it PG-13 people. You can get suggestive, but no explicit content! I’m going to be strict with this one so don’t push your luck. :|

3. Keep it to couples (That means 2 people!). You’ve already got free range of pairing; let’s not make it too complicated by getting threesomes or foursomes involved. >.> However!! That doesn’t mean the picture is limited to 2 characters – you’re free to add extra characters reacting to the couple of choice in the background should you choose.

4. Up to 2 Entries per person. I realize a month is a long time and you might come up with something better down the line. So I’m allowing you two chances. :cool:

5. Since written entries are being judged separately, you  may submit a written entry in addition to your two drawn/art entries (or vice versa if you’ve already submitted two written entries). This means the maximum number of entries you may have is THREE – where one must be in a different category. (So, 2 drawn and 1 written, or 2 written and 1 drawn.)

6. Pairings involving Hnæf or Safir MUST be rated G and non-romantic. They’re kids people and while I know that a certain pairing with Hnæf is rather popular (I’d imagine due to the fact his mentality is a lot older than 12) I’d rather not push my luck around here, okay? However! I will make an exception if it takes place in the future and Hnæf looks 18 years or older  in your drawing. That is all.

Send yours to pairathon@wiglafandmordred.com !  Voting has begun!!!

(Also! Don’t forget to include a link to your website/comic/DApage/SquibyPage/Whatever Page so I can link to you & let others see more of your work!)

*The prize was changed to points so you can either use your prize to buy a subscription to DA or use it to buy prints/merchandise from DA. :)

Wait, wouldn’t the “Takes place in the future” work for Safir too?

I suppose. As long as it’s very clear time has past and he’s older than 16. XD

….. What about younger versions of characters…? :|

*fretting cause o’ course I drew sketches already of our favorite stabby redhead…*

How old was Azzy when he got Grace….?
:(

He was 10. XD

My only issue is stuff for kids under 16 is the rating is G. XD That’s all I ask.

As for Azzie & Grace – don’t do anything worse than you’ve seen in Comic and I think you’ll be fine. XD

Okay, what about violence? I know this is a OTP contest, but my entry involves stabbing, for comedy purposes. I wouldn’t think this is a problem, but I realized that all the other contest I’ve entered have a strict violence rule. If there is a violence rule, then I’m afraid I’ll have to back out of the contest, or figure out a new entry.
Although I think I would send it to you anyway.
It is fan art.

As long as it’s within (generally accepted) PG-13 ratings, I don’t see a problem. I mean, I’ve had Azrael stab Wiglaf before in comic, not to mention Gawain’s been shot in the head. As long as it’s not overly detailed, I think stabbing will be okay.

I’m curious, if you’re doing a written entry, like say, a short story, is there a word limit to it? Or a limit to it’s length? (min/max number of words?)
I’m asking because I’m thinking of entering a written piece, but I don’t want to end up making it too long or too short.
