EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT

One for All October will be an event in October dedicated to producing Yoichi-centric fics and art, hosted by McFaneLy and Katydid. This event will run between October 1st all the way through till Halloween!

Rules:

We will have an art and writing category. Anything focused on Yoichi qualifies. If an artwork, then he must be prominently featured. If a fic, then Yoichi must be one of the main characters.

You may submit as many entries as you’d like. However, you will only be eligible to win once in each category.

The minimum word count for a fic is 1,000 words. Drawings must be colored.

Fics should not have any explicit sexual content. For artwork, no extreme blood or gore and no nudity/pornography/NSFW. Mild gore is allowed.

To qualify, an entry must be posted by October 31, 2022, 11:59 AM EST.

Prizes:

First place in both art and writing will receive prizes from both of us: a half-body color artwork from McFaneLy and a fic of a minimum of 2,500 words from Katydid. We both will also be offering honorable mention prizes of sketches and snippets. One honorable mention will be given out randomly to ensure that everyone has a chance to win.

The number of prizes will depend on the number of entries we get. We will not do NSFW content and we reserve the right to ask for a different request.

Submission:

Please use the hashtag #One for All October if you submit your entry on Tumblr or Archive of Our Own. Also, please @ both of us if you post on Tumblr or Discord. If you post elsewhere online, then you can message either of us with a link to your entry.

Optional Prompts:

These prompts are completely optional and only to help inspire you. You do not have to use a prompt, nor do they correspond with any day of posting. This is not a fic-a-day event, you can simply draw or write as much as you'd like between the event dates! Be that one fic, one art piece, or multiple! If you submitted a prompt that didn’t make the final cut then you can still do art/write a fic with it. Thank you to everyone who submitted prompt ideas to us!

October is almost upon us and I’m planning out my contributions for One for All October!

Thoughts?

#1. Halloween one-shot: Yoichi and his brother live alone and have since as long as he can remember. His brother was a hard working man that had climbed up through the ranks and was able to afford them a nice house in the mountains. Yoichi always believed his brother was too overprotective and he “loved too much”, his greed culminating in his possessiveness over his own kin, but as a sickly young man, it was something the younger had accepted as his reality. After a terrible, sudden blizzard traps the two brothers in their mountain side home for over a week, and their food running low, AFO decides to attempt to trek out to the nearest home to see if they have any provisions. He tasks Yoichi with continuing to call for help through the radio or whenever the cell signal returns. Yoichi waits dutifully, but anxious, over his brother’s return. The cell signal is sporadic and, for only a moment, he is able to speak to someone about their predicament before it is cut off. After staying up all night, he falls asleep only to awaken near nightfall the next day. His brother finally returns, but is changed. His greed has turned into gluttony, but no matter how much he eats, he complains of an insatiable hunger. It comes to a head when the person Yoichi had gotten ahold of arrives and is killed and devoured by his older brother. AFO has turned into a Wendigo and Yoichi is able to lock him in a room. Now Yoichi has to decide if he should kill the beast his brother has turned into…or if he’d rather he be alive…regardless of the costs.

For the Halloween story, I am researching the Wendigo folklore of the Algonquin-speaking peoples of North America for this one-shot. I will not be doing the “Hollywood” idea of Wendigo, though I have to admit the whole “locking AFO up” is loosely inspired by a plot point in the movie “Antlers”. I suppose this one-shot could be considered a “reverse vaulting” prompt. I especially like this quote from Marlene Goldman’s ‘Rewriting Apocalypse in Canadian Fiction’(2005):

“The wendigo is seen as the embodiment of gluttony, greed, and excess: never satisfied after killing and consuming one person, they are constantly searching for new victims.”

The backdrop for the story represents the Wendigo typically being associated with the cold, winter, the North, famine and starvation.

Plus, I had a comment on ‘Alternatives’ asking for a cannibalism universe and I felt that if I was going to do it, it would probably be better in a separate one-shot.

#2. Modern Vaulting but there’s no Vault: Yoichi has always been the weaker, sickly little brother. He was too young to remember it, but his older brother would often remind him of how their mother, dying from an accident, begged AFO to always take care of his baby brother--no matter what. At 15 years old, Yoichi is finally blessed with being able to stay home alone, although for only a short time, when his brother and his girlfriend, Inko, decide to go out for their Anniversary. The occasion had another purpose, Inko reveals she is pregnant. Although at first perturbed that his brother wasn’t giving him regular text updates, AFO is obviously distracted—until they finally arrive home to find Yoichi unresponsive. After dying twice in the hospital and being revived: Yoichi slowly recovers, but his brother never does. Now, it’s 15 years later and Yoichi is about to turn 30 with a 14 year old nephew. Yoichi has grown up believing his older brother’s over protectiveness as “normal” and is excited when he is finally allowed to stay home alone for the first time in forever, but with his nephew in tow. What he doesn’t realize is that he isn’t babysitting his nephew, it’s the reverse. Upon overhearing a conversation and finding this out, Yoichi finally has the opportunity to start the teenage rebellion he never had against his older brother, but he doesn’t realize how obsessive his brother has become with both him and the idea of “order”. There’s no real vault here: only the unbreakable vault of will and arms of his older brother smothering Yoichi for 30 years.

This one is going to be weird and angsty and weird. Modern and no Quirks, but AFO is just as platonic-yandere as ever, but even more-so given the circumstances. Although Yoichi has to deal with his physical illness, he has no clue his brother has been battling a mental illness, made stronger and more apparent after almost losing his little brother. AFO becomes obsessed with Order and that things have to always be done a certain way. He needs ritual in his life or else he will snap. There’s going to be a lot of ridiculously creepy stuff that poor Izuku gets roped into including AFO’s daily, and multiple times in a day, checking of his brother’s vitals which he has written down in textbooks for YEARS so he can “compare”. Yup. I’ve thought up a real creeptacular doozy. Hell, who am I kidding?! This is Halloween material too!

#3. Stepford Brother: This is honestly just a plot bunny at this point and will only be written for the event if I have time. The idea is that Yoichi grew up in the overbearing care of his possessive older brother. That is until Yoichi finally is able to attend college as his major requires him to be on campus more often than not much to AFO’s chagrin. There, he makes friends with two other young men: the 2nd and 3rd users. They can tell that the relationship between the two brother’s is codependent and unhealthy. Their reasoning starts to get through to Yoichi, but the younger brother has been so programmed by his older brother that he can’t quite shake it off. Yoichi doesn’t attend classes for a week and his friends are unable to make contact during that time. That is until Yoichi suddenly starts to communicate back to them…but something is off. They finally decide to march up to the Shigaraki brothers’ home…only to discover that Yoichi…isn’t the same as he once was.

Stepford comes from “Stepford Wife” which is a term inspired by the story and films called “The Stepford Wives”. In the stories, once independent minded, strong women suddenly become docile and “perfect housewives” for their upper middle class husbands. It’s revealed that they were being replaced by robots. In this story, Yoichi is not being replaced by a robot, but is instead being brainwashed, possibly by a Quirk, that his older brother has acquired, to make him the “perfect little brother”.

Welp, those are my three story ideas for One for All October! Let me know what you think!
