🎭Time for TUA Summer Remix! 🎭

We are so excited to be bringing you all the details for TUA Masked Author (and Artist) round five! This round, Summer Remix, is all about celebrating the incredible fanwork in the TUA fandom. We are encouraging you guys to remix (make fanworks for) the fanworks our fandom has made! With the final season of the show coming in August, we felt that this was a perfect opportunity to show our appreciation to the fandom. For anyone who needs the refresher, [we go over what a remix is in more detail in this post].

🌺 What is TUA Masked Author?

TUA Masked Author is an Umbrella Academy fandom event that allows you to embrace your creative muse and test your investigative prowess! In the first phase, authors and artists post their TUA works to an anonymous AO3 collection. Afterwards, we’ll release a list of participating authors and the guessers will put on their detective hats to try to match the fics to their authors and art to the artists with coveted bragging rights at stake for the best detective!

📻 The Exciting Details

Summer Remix will take place from Saturday, June 8th through Thursday, June 27th.

Our AO3 collection is live! The official posting period is June 8th through June 15th. You may submit your fic or art to [the TUA Summer Remix AO3 collection] at any time from now up to (and including) 23:59 UTC June 15th, although works submitted early won’t be visible until the 8th of June. 

After entries close on June 15th, check the tumblr for a list of participants (to be posted shortly after submissions close) and your guessing ballot which will be posted a few days later.

Put on your detective hats! You will be able to submit your guesses up to June 27th.

All secrets will be revealed on Saturday, June 29th, after a few days to let us crunch the numbers! We’ll unveil each of the fics’ authors and artworks’ artists, as well as crown the best guesser!

🌺 Reminders

Anyone is welcome to take part! No need to have posted a fanwork for TUA before, and no need to post a work for this event in order to be a guesser!

If you are remixing please make sure you have the original creator’s permission. This can be a general permission statement, because you asked directly, or because they submitted their work to the permission sheet. [The permission sheet can be found here], and [you can add your works to it here].

You may submit a maximum of two works of art and two fics, in any combination. 

All submissions, fic or art, must be gen, ie. not ship focused, and not rated E (explicit). We don't have specific rules about where the lines are; use your own judgement and ask us if you have any questions.

Fic entries are to remain under 10k words for the duration of the event, and each participant may only post one fic under 500 words. Once the authors have been revealed, you may add chapters and expand your fic as much as you wish.

Artists, please do not publicly post your art anywhere else until after the reveal, in order to preserve the mystery. Additionally, please do not sign your submitted art.  We provide a watermark you can edit and use at the bottom of this post. Once the reveal has taken place, you can edit your submission with your signature and post wherever you want!

i love when a character is a ghost but in a tragic way instead of a scary way. i love when a character has been dead from the beginning but is still holding on to stay in the narrative. i love when a character could choose to resent the living but ends up loving them instead. i love when a character drives the story but isn’t quite there enough to be at the center of it. i love when the ghosts are the protectors instead of the ones causing the harm. i love when a character is at the heart of the story because depending on where you began it, no matter how you told it, the story is about the ghost who struggled to keep their humanity

you're ALL WRONG the umbrella academy can never be riverdale because they have 30 year olds playing 16 year olds and tua has an 18 year old playing a 58 year old
