Arcane Year 2 Event Week!

From November 7th to the 13th

#ArcaneYear2 / #ArcaneYearTwo

Let's celebrate Arcane on its second anniversary! All fanworks are welcome! In this special week, you have a choice of two themes, each with unique prompts.

What Could Have Been

Nov 7 : Faction Swap / First Time Nov 8 : Vander Lives / Broken Nov 9 : Hugs / Family / Grief Nov 10 : Food / Gift / Fix It Nov 11 : AU / Soulmate / Adoption Nov 12 : Nightmare / Kiss / Jealousy Nov 13 : Free Day / Goodbyes

What Could Yet Be

Nov 7 : Hextech / Ghost / Blood Nov 8 : Common Enemy / Warwick Nov 9 : Begging / Shimmer / Art Nov 10 : Chaos / Light / Promise Nov 11 : Noxus / Secrets / Fear Nov 12 : Machine Herald / Faith / Lies Nov 13 : Voices / Legacy / Hope

How does this work?

The "What could have been" prompts were chosen to fit fics or art (or meta, playlists, etc) set before or during season 1.

This includes ideas like "Heimerdinger used to travel the world before founding Piltover" set before canon, as well as missing scenes like "Viktor creating his hextech arm" during the time skip, or "Vi waking up in Stillwater".

The "What could yet be" prompts were chosen for speculation about season 2 and beyond.

This includes ideas like "my favourite LoL character definitely rocks into Zaun" or "Jinx frees Warwick" or "How Viktor becomes the Machine Herald"

You can mix and match! You can do one theme for day 1, the other for day 2... And on day 3 you could use the 'family' prompt to write a season 2 AU! Ultimately these prompts are to provide inspiration and a framework. I will not police submissions, so long as you respect the rules. Please read them well!

Arcane Year Two week event Rules and Guidelines

Rules

Fanworks created for this event should be focused on Arcane character(s). While LoL characters and OCs are welcome, they should not steal the spotlight. Canon characters should be the focus, even in a work set in season 2 with new characters joining the cast.

All types of fanworks, including fic, art, moodboards, podfic, playlists, meta, cosplay, embroidery, and more, are welcome for this event.

NSFW or potentially triggering content, even if canon-typical, must be properly tagged with any applicable content warnings. For the comfort of the mods, please only submit NSFW works if you are 18+.

This event is also open to all ships and all levels of rating. However we expect works to be fully tagged in order to be reblogged. This is a strict rule, as people can't be expected to effectively manage what they see and read if they are not given the tools to effectively block tags.

Racist, queerphobic, ableist, misogynistic, or otherwise hateful or bigoted behavior or fanworks will not be tolerated. Your work may include aspects of bigotry and oppression so long as they are properly tagged. For example: A fic that features a character facing ableism is allowed with content warnings; a work that includes ableist tropes as part of the narrative or erases a canon disability is not.

Any form of disrespectful or threatening behaviour towards fellow participants will see the offending account blocked and their works unshared.

If you are submitting visual work, please consider writing an image description!

Guidelines

This is a week format event. It will run for 1 week, from the 7th of November to the 13th. Late entries are accepted. Early entries are not and are discouraged. Please wait for the start of the week to share your works. We will not be browsing the tag prior to the 7th.

How do you participate?

By making any type of fanwork using any of the prompts provided. The orthodox way of playing with this type of event is to restrict yourself to a prompt provided on the day. Posting a fic on day 1 written to a day 1 prompt, an art on day 2 with a day 2 prompt, etc.

This event provides 2 sets of prompts with two different themes (pre-canon and canon timeline, and a post canon speculative timeline). While you can stick to one set of prompt, you are very welcome to mix and match. Extremely bold participants may want to do both and post 2 weeks worth of works. That's fine too! So is doing a single work for a single prompt.

Ultimately, the goal is to have a week during which the Arcane fandom gets the spotlight and new works are created and shared. the goal is to be inspired and have fun. The prompts are there to inspire If you see a prompt in the post-canon theme that appeals to you for a pre-canon story, go crazy!

Opinions of Renata Glasc (or other piltover/zaun league characters) appearing in s2 Arcane?

EXCELLENT QUESTION....!!!!

I must admit Renata baffles me. In my fics, I've often brought her in either as Silco's childhood friend (who is mostly busy on business trips abroad during the few days of the show), or else as an obstacle for him in AU fics. Always alongside yet unrelated to Sevika.

But honestly? Her lore is baffling. Some people think she's Sevika post season 2, timeline wise. I think it would make enough sense, on an aesthetic front, with Sevikla being older, more scared and with white in her hair... But it'd be so OOC...

Sevika is extremely dedicated to 'the Cause' and actively keeping Silco in check. She's part of her community. She isn't the type to say 'fuck this', open a perfume business and fuck off alone Upside. Even with Silco dead and Jinx on the loose, I can't exactly accept it.

On a meta front, I don't understand why their new champion had to be a Sevika clone... with her lore specifying that the... bright pink chemical... isn't shimmer. Couldn't they do Sevika? She has a mechanical arm they could have added to. I genuinely do not get it.

Does she have a chance to appear in season 2? Your guess is as good as mine but my money is on no.

Riot making dumb choices is par for the course. The team behind Arcane clearly understand how to tell a story, and I don't think confusing viewers by adding a clone of an important side character to the story is on the menu. Not unless Renata is Sevika's big sis or something... But them having matching prosthetics is just too on the nose, you know?

There's also the fact no Zaunite has a last name, but Renata Glasc does. She's in a different sort of league, despite being a Zaunite.

OR — The crack solution : Sevika is currently pregnant, and Renata is her (far future) daughter.

Participation Bingo for readers and fans

As promised I made a bingo sheet for those of you who want to keep track of your participation. Some bingos are easier than others, and a blackout will depend on how many people participate. I'm being quite greedy, but I hope the event is popular!

It's a 4x4 grid with no free square.

Row 1 (top row) : Commented on 1 AO3 fic / Left 10 kudos or likes / Sent of reblogged a meta ask / Commented on tumblr fics/arts

Row 2 : Reblogged 2 fanfics / Reblogged 5 fanarts / Commented on 3 AO3 fics / Kudoed or liked everything!

Row 3 : Left 5 kudos or likes / Created a fic rec list / Reblogged edits, gifs, or animations / Reblogged meta posts

Row 4 (bottom row) : Reblogged 1 fanart / Commented on 5 AO3 fics / Reblogged 3 fanarts / Reblogged 5 fanfics

Normal bingo rules apply. If you have a line, horizontal, vertical or diagonal, it's a bingo. If you have the entire card, it's a blackout, and you're a genuine event MVP!!!

Please feel free to use the file and stamp it and share it as you go.

I hope this makes more sense than when I originally floated the idea. If you have questions, please send an ask.

[arcanefandomweek]

ARCANE FANS, HOW ARE WE DOING?

Are you ready? Are these fics and fanarts warming up?

I finally have free time to dedicate to this event! 5 weeks to go!

I will be creating a participation bingo, as the idea was popular with enough people. Then I was thinking that a collection of ideas/more detailed prompts might interest those of you who really want to do something but are struggling to bounce ideas?

I'll also start preparing daily banners for people who want to use them as visuals in their tumblr posts.

If you have ideas, questions, feedback, or requests, please feel free to DM!
