🌙 Welcome to the Kirby OC Tournament! 💫

CURRENTLY: round two polls ongoing!

the oc tournament is back again this year, and will be hosted by @starflungwaddledee and @moonverc3x!

this is a fun and friendly popularity contest for kirby-verse original character designs and their associated stories or lore. competitors can submit their characters to the competition during the submission period, after which characters will be matched randomly together in public polls for voting!

there will also be a losers bracket, to allow folks voted out early to continue playing and participating in the contest. polls are open for anyone, competitors and spectators alike!

in between each match-up, competitors can create artwork "propaganda" for their characters which will be shared to the blog! getting your character in front of voters will help people to recognise and care about them, and can increase your chances of getting votes-- as well as new fans-- for your OC!

🗓️ schedule of events 🗓️

submissions open: april 8th see below for how to submit your oc! submissions close: april 30th brackets announced: may 10th voting begins: may 13th bracket length: 1 week break length: 2 weeks each voting bracket will last One Week with public tumblr polls on the @kirbyoctournament blog. there will be a week between polls to give competitors time to draw up additional propaganda! depending on the size of the first bracket in particular, poll posts may be staggered over several days. if this happens, the break week will begin after the final poll closes.

🥳 how to submit your oc 🥳

Submissions are CLOSED as at midnight of April 30th. to submit your oc (only one oc allowed per participant!!), simply make a post on your own blog introducing your character with art and/or any lore you'd like to include! make sure to tag the @kirbyoctournament in your post (please do not submit via the ask box.) despite being an oc centric event, you can include canon characters in your OC backstory and propaganda. here is a template for submissions, but this is just a guide and you can deviate from it as necessary! if you want to write a lot of text, consider putting it under a 'read more'! Name: Reference Image/s: Notes on Personality (optional, but preferred!): Backstory and Lore (optional):

remember, this is a friendly competition, none of you will get hurt!

if you have any questions, send us an ask! (please do not dm either hosts, the askbox is where you need to go with questions!)

🌑 mod disclaimer 🌟

@moonverc3x and @starflungwaddledee are cohosting the tourney to make sure it runs smoothly this year and so that the event can hopefully bring some joy and interaction to the kirby oc tumblr community, but we also always wanted to compete. because this is a popularity contest with public voting and all pairings are 100% randomised, we don't think this gives us any sort of advantage, and all propaganda will be posted on our private blogs like everbody else's. however we do just want to be upfront about it!

Random fun fact,Fecto Elfilis spear has a name,it’s called Antares and it is named that after the brightest star of Scorpius

I like to think that Fecto Elfilis named the spear personally and they refer to the spear like another person,like-“Me and Antares are going to destroy you!” Something like that

I just find it funny and maybe even a bit cute

(I’m sharing this because Elfilis’s spear is cool af)

Sign-Up Form

Optional Discord server Link You need to Sign up before you can submit a fic! I will accept mid-competition sign ups, but strongly implore you to submit a form if you're interested so I have a vague idea of how many fics I'll have to read. :)

Guidelines, Rules, and other stuff below

Guidelines

Fics need to be 3,000-10,000 words. You can go a little over or a little under, if needbe, but please keep things within that range! Fics should roughly follow/in concept stem from the prompt word, which will be revealed on Jan 16th. Submissions must be made between January 16th to Feb 6th. Once a submission is made, please DO NOT edit your work! Only submit it once you're completely satisfied! I will be reading fics throughout the competition, and after it has concluded. Contest results will be revealed sometime in February. You can submit fics anonymously, but I need to be aware of who you are. You also need to make me directly aware of them by sharing a link.

Please keep in mind when a fic is submitted, a link to the fic will be shared publicly in the dedicated Discord, as well as on this blog.

Rules

Submitted Fics must be posted to AO3.

Submitted Fics must not focus on ships. You can mention them, of course.

No OC-Focused fics. You can mention or allude to OCs, of course, but please keep in mind I probably wont know who they are.

No previously created works may be submitted.

Fics must be tagged with 'KirbyFC Jan 2024'.

[ My commissions are currently CLOSED!! ]

I haven't posted my comm info on Tumblr before I don't think - I was redoing them for my other socials so I figured I would post them here too :D

Please make sure to check over the information card if you find yourself interested in commissioning me !!

( Also a little note - you're best DMing me on Instagram at @/_dragonitepaw_ if possible as I'm most likely to see the message the quickest there!! )

I saw you take character asks for the tournament so I'd like to plop in Velocity 👉👈

This mechanics geek would certainly want to ask about the function and origin of those fascinating looking wings on Stell's back. Unfortunately, she takes 50 years to decide whether she actually wants to go up to him to ask.... So in the meantime, she's just glaring holes in his back from across the room, as if planning Stell's untimely demise.

Ayooo welcome!! Unfortunately Velocity's indecision and glaring would do little to coerce Stell to share his secrets (and more likely earn his easily-achieved ire), but if she observes long enough she might be able to glean some insight herself!
