Alternate Reality Games (ARGs)

Posted on by

What if, instead of reading a story, you could become one of the characters? Alternative Reality Games (ARGs) allow participants to e-mail, tweet, blog, and interact in real time with other characters, uncovering clues and the story, thus creating an immersive experience that blurs the lines between reality and fiction.

Join the ARG panel at FemSlashCon where our expert will reveal how to use modern means to craft your fanfic into Alternative Reality Games (ARG) and Transmedia stories.  In addition to the panel, we are looking to form a group who might be interested in working on developing an ARG for next year’s International Day of Femslash. Plus, there will also be a segment on ‘ARGs and femslash’ as part of Femslash Radio.

Come join us and play!

This is your chance to submit a prompt – fanfic, fan-art or fan-vid – for your fellow femslashers, and hopefully see your prompt spark somebody else’s imagination.

Simply reply to this post with your prompt or prompts, including the following information:

Fandoms(s)/Generic/Original:

Criteria:

Media type(s):

All prompts will then be collected in a giant Prompts Page and everyone will then be free to use those prompts to create lots of lovely femslash for us on. Over the weekend of IDF and FemSlashCon a post will be made to this site allowing people to send in the links to their challenge response(s) which will again be collected into a giant masterlist.

Prompt responses can be posted to anywhere that welcomes femslash, but are also very much welcome on the femslash_day livejournal.

Non-Fandom Panels for FemSlashCon

I know we all love to discuss our favourite fandoms and pairings, and we’ll certainly get to do a lot of that at this year’s FemSlashCon, but what other panels would you like to see? In previous years we’ve had panels on subjects as diverse as writing sex scenes, video editing and maintaining user-friendly archives, plus an assortment of themed panels, where we got to discuss a number of genre related fandoms. What would you like to see this time around?

If a particular non-fandom specific panel grabbed your attention at one of the previous conventions, tell us what particularly appealed to you about that subject, or if you wished we’d covered something that we didn’t, this is your chance to put it on our radar.

We’re in the midst of constructing this year’s convention schedule, so if you have an idea this is the perfect time to let us know.

Big Bang for IDF

Welcome to the International Day of Femslash’s first annual Big Bang to commemorate the IDF’s fifth year, as well as the third year of FemSlashCon. What better way to celebrate than with a big bang?

Because the Summer Olympics are also being held in London this year, we’ve decided to have themes of anniversaries, the number five, the five rings of the Olympics, the Olympic Motto, and the Olympic Creed. You can choose any of these themes or none of them.

The Olympic Motto is “Citius, Altius, Fortius” (faster, higher, stronger), originally said by Father Henri Martin Didon.

The Olympic Creed is taken from a speech given by Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, and is as follows:

“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”

You will have the opportunity to participate as a writer, an artist, or both. You can choose to work with either Phase One or Phase Two, depending on what you want to do. Phase One has a longer creation period, but also has a larger minimum requirement. Phase Two projects will be created as complements to the Phase One projects. For both phases, there are three levels of participation, just like the medals of the Olympics: Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

All Phase One and Phase Two projects will be hosted on both Passion & Perfection and ShatterStorm Productions.

Voq Je Bang (VJB) will be holding an International Day of Femslash Round Robin in the weeks leading up to the 14th July, in celebration of both the community and the pairing of B’Elanna Torres and Seven of Nine from Star Trek’s Voyager. Official sign-ups will open approximately four weeks before IDF with the finished story scheduled for completion on the 14th July.

If the previous Round Robins are anything to go by, you are guaranteed a wild ride of a story that takes you places you’ve never been before. With permission, the finished story will be available to read via the IDF website once the dust has settled and the ladies have been given their happily ever after.
