Blind Go

Welcome to the reveal of Round 015: Foreign Players! Thanks to everyone for who submitted and signed up for a wonderful longfic round. We had 8 authors, 8 stories for a total of 72,000 words! Alright here we go: Our Authors!



( THE REVEAL! )


Best Guesser
Congratulations to Ontogenesis! With 4 correct out of a possible 8 (50%)! Honorable mention goes to qem_chibati with a still admirable 2 correct out of a possible 7 guesses (29%).


ID Challenge
No one submitted any guesses this round. The theme was defunct Go Tournaments around the world. :D

Feedback Challenge
Congratulations to qem_chibati who commented to every single one of our fics! Honorable mention to phnx, who commented to 2 fics!

Theme Challenge
Congratulations to aiwritingfic for winning the Theme Challenge! Unfortunately no honourable mentions this round - Ai was our only entry.

For this round, there will be some kind of graphic prize that Ver will figure out later, but probably a small banner. Winners should contact Ver through PM or email with the picture they would like used for their banner(s) attached (or at least an idea of which character is their favorite or something like that). Ver will get those out as soon as she can. Congrats!

Once again a huge thank you to everyone for participating. We hope you all had fun. We can let you know there will be another mini round before September, so stay tuned to Blind Go for all your fun challenge needs! Everyone take a deep breath, sit back and read more Hikago fic, there is a huge archive here and we'll see you all again next round. Next big round will be September.

 I would like to being by thanking the twenty-two authors who signed up for this round.

Best of luck to you all and we look forward to the fanfic. 

The Author IDs are now live, all IDs have been sent out.

If you did not get an ID, please contact me akichan either at my amiller@lakeheadu.ca email address OR the usual bg.submissions@gmail.com 

Please note though that the latter email gets checked less frequently, so if you need something quicker, my personal address is the way to go. 

PLEASE NOTE: This round's deadline is a HARD deadline. Due to May 4th being a Sunday and the fic encoder (A.K.A myself) has to get up early the next morning for work, so for this round we are trying a hard deadline.

Alright, ready?

Get writing!

Hiya, Hikago fandom! It's your new mods, Ver and Aki here. You're probably surprised to see us so soon after the last round, but in honor of Touya Akira's birthday which mostly gets ignored, we have a surprise for you~ a mini-round! :D

Also, since this is our first time in our shiny new mod chairs, we'd like to say that we are incredibly honored and excited to be in this position. Please take care of us! *bows* Even though it's scary having to deal with new mods in a community, never fear- we don't plan on making a whole bunch of changes on you guys. We've both been around a long time and we love blind_go the way that it is. We intend to keep things more or less the same, mostly just with more mini-rounds and stuff. We have IDEAS. So look forward to that. :P

That being said... Trixie and Pye, before they left, set up the beginnings of a move to DW, lovely people that they are. The one "change" that we are implementing is that we're finishing this process- blind_go will now be primarily on DW, with posts showing up on LJ with links to the DW comm. Along that same vein, the support comm kifu_archive has been copied to DW and all of the activities for that community will be completely on DW from here on out.

Anyway! Onto business!

Questions? Post them here, send a PM (Ver or Akichan), or email (Ver or Akichan)! Don't forget that kifu_archive is around for flailing and support, and the support thread is already up, because Ver is awesome like that. :D

Thank you!! And happy ficcing!!!

Hello!! A favor to ask of you... as the last bit of "tidying up" for Round 014, the fics will be labelled as to who wrote 'em, and tags will be added for authors. Generally, the tags have been made using the user ID, that is, an individual's livejournal or dreamwidth username, or whatever username was given at sign ups. Especially now that we are bridging between livejournal and dreamwidth, and because the challenge has been ongoing for so long now, I'd like to ask that people check to be sure that the name their fics are being tagged with is the name they want associated with their fiction. People change usernames over time, and maybe now if someone is more active on dreamwidth or on AO3, they would prefer the name associated with that account to be used for the tags.

So!! Especially if you have changed usernames at any point since first participating in the challenge, please take a look at the tags and be sure that your fics/works are being tagged the way you want them to be. You can find a list of tags here:

On livejournal
On dreamwidth

Though, keep in mind, the dreamwidth tag list links only lead to the list of fics from previous rounds on the dreamwidth account.

IF you would like your tags changed, please comment here to let us know!! Otherwise, when your entry for Round 014 is labelled and tagged, your username given for the round will be used. For simplicity's sake, we'd prefer the tags be as seamless as possible, but it's ultimately your name, so... we wanna get it right!

Thank you!!
