Happy Makoto’s Birthday, everyone!
Works for the 2015 Tachibana Makoto Birthday Fanworks Exchange are now live on AO3.
Heartfelt thanks to the participants and pinch hitters who made this happen, and to everyone who supported us along the way with reblogs and kind words. ♥♥♥
We’re also pleased to announce the 2015 Makoto Birthday Exchange Commenting Contest on AO3! Our goal is to encourage the expression of appreciation for all the wonderful art, fic, and comics done for the exchange this year.
The contest runs from now until December 1, 2015 and is open to everyone, whether or not you contributed a fanwork.
Here’s how it works:
- Only comments on AO3 will be counted.
- You do not need an AO3 account to particpate. If you don’t have an AO3 account, please use the same name on all your comments.
- Prizes (TBA -- may include merchandise/gift cards/commissioned fic or art) will be given to the top commenters. Each quality comment will earn one point.
- By “quality comment,” we mean something that indicates you’ve actually read the work or taken some time to appreciate it. (Length of the comment is not important -- we’re just looking for something more than “nice job” or “I liked this.” For example, you could mention a specific part you especially liked, something about the artist/author’s style, an emotional or intellectual response you had, etc.)
To participate:
- Keep track of which works you leave a comment on.
- By December 2nd, send us your name (either your AO3 username or the name you used on your comments) along with a list of the works you commented on. [email: sallynotsally @ gmail.com]
We’ll count up the totals and contact winners by December 10th. Once we’ve confirmed the winners, we’ll post an announcement.
