August Chocobo Races: Round-Up
In first place:
Team Ifrit: 90 points
In second place:
Team Ramuh: 60 points
In third place:
Team Shiva: 20 points
Team Ifrit has started off strong! But Team Ramuh is not too far behind; Team Shiva may be struggling a bit, but with a good showing next month, they can easily catch up. It's still anyone's game!
Just some reminders for everyone:
- Please make sure you include the prompt that you are writing for somewhere when you post your work! (On AO3, there's a Notes section; on LJ or DW, please include it with your headers.) You should be filling a legitimate Chocobo Down or Chocobo Racing prompt for your work to count for points! We may not have been clear on this, so we were generous with our points delivery this month, but for future reference: please include the actual prompt you are filling somewhere the mods can easily find it, for our records.
- We had a couple works squeeze in at the end of the deadline – awesome work, guys! Don't worry about it – if you're close to the deadline and we haven't posted anything in the LJ/DW communities yet, we'll probably let you have the points. :D
Take a look under the cut – there's some amazing love for rare characters, pairings, and relationships showing up this round. Or browse all of the work here (since it all ended up on AO3 this round!).
