August Bonus Theme
This month is Small Fandom Month! We love when we can make a small-fandom connection in DOINK! Final Fantasy Exchange because we can make someone's smaller fandom dreams come true -- but often there are smaller-fandom prompts we just can't match up. This month is to help make up for that! Basically, if you create work for a small fandom, you get bonus points! If you create work for a tiny fandom, you get even more bonus points!

How will the scoring go?

• Any work submitted for Small Fandoms - FFIV (and The After Years), FFVI, FFIX - will be worth 10 points each.
• Any work submitted for Extra Small Fandoms - FFI, FFII, FFIII, FFV and Legend of the Crystals, FFXI, VS, all Tactics games, FFXIV, FF: TSW, FFU, FF: MQ, FF: 4 Heroes, all Crystal Chronicles games - will be worth 15 points each.
• Any work that doesn't fit the August theme, but is submitted in August, 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


• July's Prompt Post

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?
We'll open an entry for new prompts in about one week. This way everybody can look through our official 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!
• If there are small fandoms we haven't put on the list that you have questions about, please leave a comment!

Ready, Set, Go... August's small fandom races are open!

FF Tactics: Ivalician gender roles

[wimblydonner]

I'd like to see a story addressing gender roles/norms in Ivalice--in FF Tactics, in particular. It's a medieval society, and we see arranged marriages between nobility, but all of the armies are pretty balanced in gender, and there's no shortage of ladies knights/thieves/ninjas/etc.

Can you fill in more about Ivalice's gender roles? What shaped their society? Or what are a particular character's (lead or otherwise) thoughts or experience?
