DOINK! Chocobo Races 2012
October Theme: Gen and Friend Month

October's Bonus Theme
This month is Gen and Friend Month! We're giving bonus points for work focusing on stuff that isn't romantic or sexual: we want your buddy fic, and your dangerous adventuring fanarts, and your introspective character explorations, and your loyal BFF fanvids! Any work focusing on the awesome platonic relationships between characters, or "gen" work (work whose focus is on things other than relationships in general), will be getting a full 10 points this month. Last month we were all about the makeouts -- this month is the opposite. Awesome friendships, stirring rivalries, brotherly and sisterly bonds, dramatic party loyalties: we want it all!


How will the scoring go?

• Any work that fits the theme of Gen and Friend Month will receive 10 points.
• Any work that doesn't fit the October theme, but is submitted in October, will still receive 5 points.
• Remember that you have to be signed up for a team before you post your work in order to get points!

What prompts are eligible for this month?

• Official Chocobo Down Database
• August's Rare Character / Rare Relationship Prompt Post
• September's Makeout Prompt Post is technically still open for Chocobo Racing, but since the prompts were explicitly for makeouts and this is Gen and Friend month, they may not be eligible for the bonus points this month. Choose wisely!

What if there isn't anything in the Chocobo Down Database that I want to create for? What if I want to ask for something else?
Just like last month, we'll open an entry for prompts in about one week. This way everybody can look through our unfilled prompt list first and get started there, before we generate new prompts.

Some reminders for this round:

• Please include the prompt you are filling somewhere when you post your work!
• Since the mods can't guarantee we have the time to look at every work ourselves, please make sure you label your work appropriately, so that we know who gets bonus points and who doesn't!

Ready, Set, Go... Let's celebrate genwork and friendwork! The October Chocobo Races are open!
