Rules

1. This is a Bang focused on Matchablossom, so writers will submit a summary for a fic they want to write and then artists will pick from the anonymous summaries and draw something to go along with it.2. This event will be 18+ in the interest of allowing NSFW content to be posted on the server and Twitter account.3. Be kind and respectful to others. “No” and “Stop” are complete sentences, don’t do/say something you wouldn’t want for yourself, only give critiques when asked. This includes information about people’s personal lives, habits, beliefs, and identities while we understand you may have concern for an individual unless you know them on a personal level do not engage.4. This Discord server is to organize the event. You must join the discord in order to participate. Regarding this, we have a strict no drama/harassing policy because we want this event to be as fun and creative as possible for everyone involved. Thus we will have a three-strikes policy, the first two are warnings with the third one you will be banned from the event.5. No hate/bullying/negative behavior towards others allowed, no exceptions. If you dislike something, you are free to leave the conversation; if you are made uncomfortable by something or someone, you can reach out to a mod and we can solve it privately and calmly. This includes topics like racism, hate speech, trans/homophobia, usage of slurs, victim blaming, but also ship hate. Do not start a ship war. There is ZERO tolerance on these topics. If you break this rule to any varying degree you will be kicked from the event.6. This is all characters-friendly fandom event, but keep in mind it’s Matchablossom centered so any works containing other ships won’t be accepted unless Matchablossom is endgame. All character roles must be tagged appropriately. All works need to contain both Kaoru and Kojiro and bowl fics (a fic where one character is shipping with multiple others) will not be accepted.7. The event will allow SFW, NSFW, and Dead Dove fanworks. All work must include appropriate content warnings and tags.8. Artists must complete a fully rendered piece and writers must hit a word could of at least 4,000 words.9. Works will be posted during the posting period and remember to tag us so we can retweet your contribution and give you as much visibility and appreciation as possible!10. Please do not talk outside this server about your work to keep everything a surprise. Additionally, as long as we haven’t formed teams, we ask any artist to keep their ideas for this bang in artists only and writers to keep their claims in the writers only channels. When teams have been made, you are free to talk about everything freely in the server.11. Respect the mods. We are here completely voluntarily, so you all can have a fun event to create for our favorite green and pink couple. We too are humans, with lives and feelings and deserve your patience and respect, just as we give you.For any further information and questions don’t hesitate to contact the mod team, we are for you!We will update the rules as needed, or as we see fit.Mod Team Twitter Handles

MODERATOR TEAM

Mod Berry

Hi! I’m Mod Berry and I’m the Head Mod for this Bang! I’ve been modding different types of fandom-centric events since tumblr rp (circa 2013) but this is my first time running a Big Bang so I’m really excited to see what it has in store! I watched SK8 in the summer of 2021 and I have been deeply infested with Matchablossom brain worms since day one in the fandom. Truthfully, I only started watching because I saw Kojiro in that green t-shirt on the twt TL and thought, hmm maybe I should look into that. Then as soon as I was introduced to Kaoru I knew I was done for. Like I said before, I’m super excited for this project and I’ve already met so many great people in this fandom and I can’t wait meet even more! And for all the matchablossom food that’s going to come out of it. Feel free to come at me with any questions or concerns and I’ll do my best to help!

Mod Gucci

Hi! I am Gucci, I tend to shitpost a lot but I also appreciate good literature and creativity in fandoms. I have been enamored with SK8 and Matchablossom since the anime came out last year and I have decided to engage again with these communities after years because of them. I am super excited to be a part of this Bang and I can’t wait to see all the gorgeous content we will get from it! I love making new friends, my dms are always open. Come scream at me anytime!

Mod Kira
Head Mod

Hi there! I'm Kira, you can find me screaming about Matchablossom almost 24 hours a day. I rejoined the fandom community and started writing fics again after years away because of these two idiots in love. They have inspired me to write, paint, cosplay and tweet incessantly. My dm's are always open to be a cheerleader, make new friends, or listen to your favorite headcanon! I love to provide encouragement any way I can. Sk8 has my heart and soul, but you can also find me yelling about HxH, JJK, Banana Fish and YOI!
Happy creating!
