The rules of this event are simple, we hope. We have provided a longer, more in depth FAQ here on google docs that details every possible thing we could think of in what very well may be excessive detail. However, we will still give a concise summary here (though do read the FAQ):

Home stretch! We're just a week and a half out from the conclusion of Be A Goldfish: A Multifandom Multimedia Microbang. Time to celebrate! In recognition of all of the lovely works shared throughout the event, as well as the even-lovelier folks who made them, we are hosting a weekend-long Comment Crawl. Time to evolve some digits and hit the keyboards, fellow goldfish!

From Friday 26 February to Sunday 28 February, join us in leaving as many comments on as many event works as you can. These can be compliments, encouragement, thanks, theories, nonsensical keysmashes, emoji hieroglyphics, and/or all of the above!

Check out our FAQ for various commenting resources, from prompts to bingos to festivals, including tumblr's iconic comment skeleton, @justleaveacommentfest. They have curated a number of helpful links, including these comment starter prompts for those who aren't sure what to say or are looking to switch things up.

WEEK EIGHT: Favorite Character Fiesta Pop a bottle! Kick up your feet! We’re in the home stretch. Finish strong and create a work featuring your favourite character, or one of your favourites if you have multiple.

Can you feel the love tonight? Put your fins and flippers together for a week seven of Be a Goldfish: A Multifandom Multimedia Microbang! We draw ever-nearer to the conclusion of the event, but it's not quitting time yet. Stay with us! We're still having fun, making friends, and finding fresh new ways to express our fannish feelings. That famous February V-Day is upon us, and whether you're keen on romance, friendship, or a bit of both, we've got not one but two prompts for you:

WEEK SEVEN: Valentine’s, Galentine’s, & Palentine’s One love! Valentine’s Day is more than a romantic holiday: it’s the perfect occasion to celebrate community, connection, and friendship. Thus, two extra-special prompts to celebrate: • Create a work as a gift for a friend, mutual, or partner. AND/OR: • Make fannish Valentines to exchange with fandom friends.

It's also a great week to try a bonus prompt. Our suggestion?

Epic Crossover Event Make friends and influence people: collaborate with another participant to create a work.

Feel free to brainstorm, discuss, make friends, or let us know what you're cooking up in the comments here or on tumblr. We're excited to see what you create. Stay curious!

Title: Obviously

Ratings & Warnings: G

Fandom: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers (Rachel Reid)

Relationship(s): Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov

Character(s): Shane Hollander, Ilya Rozanov, Harris Drover

Summary: For Week 5: Tropes! Metaphorically, this is the fic version of the xkcd Average Familiarity comic ("Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field"). Operationally, it's an excuse to let Ilya Rozanov be an actual puppy.
