Hello The Greatest Showman fans!

Following on from our teaser post about our planned Comment Drive, here’s all the info you need to know about the event and how to take part!

★ WHAT IS A COMMENT DRIVE? Our Comment Drive is an open-to-all event designed to encourage comments on fanwork with goodies to be won in a raffle-style prize draw.

read below the cut for all the event information (it’s a little bit of an info dump!)

★ WHEN DOES IT START? Tuesday April 9th, 07:30 UTC - an annoucement post will be made on the day.

★ HOW LONG WILL IT RUN? The event will run for 3 weeks, ending April 30th. Winners will be announced May 1st.

★ HOW DOES IT WORK? As this is a comment-based event, you earn 'tickets' by leaving comments on TGS fanfiction and art work. You only need one ticket to be eligible to win, but the more tickets you earn, the higher your chances of winning.

Think of it like picking names out of a hat, the more your name appears, the better your odds of being picked.

★ HOW DO I GET TICKETS? You earn a ticket by leaving 5 comments on 5 different fanfictions or pieces of artwork (5 comments = 1 ticket). Different chapters of the same fanfiction also count. The comments must be phrased in a positive light and exceed 5 words.

However, entrants can earn 2 tickets per 5 comments (5 comments = 2 tickets) if you meet the following conditions;

All five comments exceed 15 words

All five comments mention/reference something in the fic/artwork that you particularly like (a scene/line of writing/the concept/the colour etc.)

» Once you’ve left your five comments, send the fanfiction/artwork URLs and a note of your username to us at @theothersidediscord via the submit content feature on our tumblr page. You can do this more than once and we will update you with your new ticket count «

★ RULES OF PARTICIPATION To ensure your comments count, make sure:

They’re left on The Greatest Showman fanworks (crossovers and AUs apply, but the fanwork must feature TGS characters, not alt-fandom characters in the TGS universe/costumes).

They’re left on different fanfictions/chapters/artwork - you can’t comment 5 times on the same thing.

They’re not copy paste - 5 identical comments won’t count!

You send us the URLs to your comments & tell us your username.

» Important: As we have some physical tgs prizes, you must let an admin of @theothersidediscord know if you can recieve mail. If you win, we will ask for details so we can send you your prizes. «

★ WHAT ARE THE PRIZES?

1st Place: 2x Physical TGS themed gifts* and a digital copy of The Greatest Showman film.

2nd Place: 1 x Small Physical TGS gift*, a fanfiction/art request from one of our gift-givers** and a digital copy of The Greatest Showman film.

3rd Place: A fanfiction/art request from one of our gift-givers** and a digital copy of The Greatest Showman film.

* Physical gifts will be a surprise, though we will tailor them to your TGS interests which we will ask about after the winners announcement. ** You get to choose your gift-giver from our selection of wonderful volunteers!
