blind_goHey, Hikago fandom! Your blind_go mods are here to bring you- drum roll please- ........................ sign-ups for round 15! Why so early, you ask? Well, read on to find out! :D
•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦
What's It About?
• Foreign players!... Anything and everything related to a non-Japanese player is fair game!
• All fics MUST focus or include the theme of foreign players in some fashion or another, even if it's just in passing.
•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦
Deadline?
• All fics will be due by May 4th, at 11:59 pm EST. Anything submitted after this time will not be posted. Fics not received by the deadline cannot be added in afterward because this is a blind challenge, so the late added fic and author would obviously be paired together. Thank you for your understanding.
• Fics will be posted toanswer_key on Hikago Day, May 5th, as soon as possible.
•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦

•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦
Fic Guidelines!
• All fics must be for the Hikaru no Go fandom (Crossovers and AUs are allowed as long as the writing features Hikaru no Go characters)
• The word count for this round is a minimum of 5,000 words! Because we're kind of evil. :P Any singular fic less than 5,000 words will not be posted. That being said, if a writer has a fic over what DW allows us to post and it can be split into multiple parts/chapters that make sense, feel free to do so as long as the total number of fics allowed isn't exceeded.
• Writers can submit up to five fics. If you collaborate with someone, that fic will count as one for each person involved.
• All fics must be focused on or include the overall theme of foreign players!
•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦
Themes!
• There will be optional themes provided again this round
• Writers can choose to use a theme or not
• Writers who chose to use theme(s) will be eligible for a theme prize, most likely a graphic of some kind
• More details are available in the Theme Post that is FINALLY up!
•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦
Guessing!
• Once the posting of the fics is done, a list of participating authors will be posted, and guesses as to who wrote what will be accepted in a screened post
• The Guessing period will be open for two weeks, until May 19th, 11:59pm EST, and All Will Be Revealed on May 20th, as early as we can
• Until the guessing period is over, authors should not reveal themselves, but are welcome to leave hints or accept guesses of their own
•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦
Final Note!
• If fewer than five authors submit fics, then the Guessing Period will be omitted, and fics will be posted with the authors identified
•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦•◦
Questions? Post them here, send a PM (Ver or Akichan), or email (Ver or Akichan)! Don't forget thatkifu_archive is around for flailing and support, and the support thread is already up because Ver is awesome like that. :D
