Fandom Rush 01.25 - Weekly PLaylist 4

[prisca]

Welcome to week 4 of the Fandom Rush Challenge. Good luck to everyone!

Google Sheet Weekly Overview

The active fandoms for week 4 are:
Assassin's Creed (all),
Avengers (movies)
Baccano! (all media)
Dead Zone (all media)
Gilmore Girls (TV original + remake)
Longmire (TV)
Theater incl. Musical / Opera

Important! Avengers is on the list for four weeks now. No matter the works, the fandom will get deleted next week, in addition to the three fandoms with the least works.

If you find one of your opt-out fandoms on the active list, feel free to choose a different one from the fandom pool instead. Already used fandoms (marked red) are not allowed. Leave a comment here before you start creating.

If you find one or more of your designated fandoms on the active list, you must create at least one work for them. Otherwise, you will lose five points!

If you want to use a designated fandom that is not on the current playlist, you can use a wildcard to replace an active fandom with the designated one of your choice. Leave a comment here before you start creating.


This weeks additional challenge is connected with the regular challenge. You don't have to create extra works!

Use at least three different active fandoms. You will earn plus four points.
When using five or more different active fandoms, you will earn six additional points.

A little update for clearification: remember that when using an opt out fandom or a wildcard fandom your chosen fandom counts as active).

:::

Short reminder of the rules
You can choose one to seven fandoms from the list to create something for it.

There is no maximum of works; the maximum number of weekly regular points is 25.

The additional challenge is optional. Play for extra points! Or simply ignore it. You can play the additional challenge only once every week. Don't forget to mark your work as 'additional' when posting it!

For complete rules, minimum and points go here.

Just to be sure! For the additional points, it's the number of fandoms used *in total*, right? Or do I have to create a crossover work using 3+ active fandoms?

[prisca]

You can create single works for three or five active fandoms. If you want to do a crossover, this would be fine, too.

Oh...I am not getting the additional points this week :(

There's no longer a restriction against designated fandoms for opt-outs, right? In that case I'll swap Avengers for Star Wars.

[prisca]

Yes, this week's additional challenge can be a bit tricky. Maybe you could create one icon for one fandom you are not familiar with?

Plus using a wildcard to play a designated fandom of you your choice.

Plus one Star Wars work (yes, it is possible to change an opt out fandom with a designated one - sorry for the confusion here) and you can earn some additional points.

Assassin's Creed (all) is on my opt-out list so I'm going to replace it with Arrowverse (TV).

(Just double-checking, if I then make something for Arrowverse in addition to two other active fandoms on the list, then that would count as three fandoms total toward the additional points?)

[prisca]

Yes, that would work.

Hi! I have a question about an active fandom I'm not familiar with. What does Dead Zone (all media) include? I've found out they're videogames, but there's also a book, movie and series called "The Dead Zone" and I think they're about different things?

[prisca]

The fandom was initially meant as the Stephen King book + movie + TV show based on it. But if you want to use the videogame (which I didn't know about until today), I would count this, too, because the prompt says 'all media'.

[endlesstwanted]

Thanks for making it clear!

[melime]

A few questions:

- Does Assassin's Creed include the movie?

- Is Dead Zone the video game or the Stephen King book/movie adaptation/tv adaptation?

- For Theater incl. Musical / Opera, does that include movie adaptations of musicals? (like Little Shop of Horrors, Into the Woods, Wicked, etc?)

- The rules say crossovers include fusions, does that also count for the additional challenge? (meaning, I can use a non-red fandom from the pool and make it an Assassin's Creed fusion, for example?)

Sorry if it's a lot a once, I only do fic so my options are limited, and I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to watch a new thing. Thanks!

[prisca]

Assassin's Creed includes all the games and the movie.

Dead Zone was initially meant as the Stephen King book + movie + TV show based on it. But if you want to use the videogame (which I didn't know about until today), I would count this, too, because the prompt says 'all media'.

You can write crossovers for the challenge, but only active fandoms (Assassin's Creed in your example) will count for the additional challenge.

Movie adaptations of theater, musicals, and opera count.

And don't forget that used opt-out fandoms and wildcard fandoms turn into active ones for you for one week.

Ummm, how do we label our posts this week? Since all different active fandoms count for the additional challenge but none of them on their own, should we label all of our posts additional or not?

[prisca]

You don't need to label your works additional this week; I will count the used fandoms on Sunday und you will get your additional points automatically.

[jacquelee]

Awesome, thanks!

[prisca]

I will play 'Tolkien all media' instead of my opt-out fandom 'Asassin's Creed.'

[aliensamba]

"Avengers" is one of my opt-out fandoms.

I will be using "Jujutsu Kaisen" instead.
