Thank you all for your contributions!

Whether you reblogged the posts, tagged someone, or shared new or existing pieces, this has been a great time and the love and attention we brought to these less-loved games means so much.

We're going to keep the blog around (as much as we've all struggled with our personal lives and been late on occasion.) The information posts will be re-reblogged, and we may start reblogging fanworks here ourselves.

Please continue to use the information and works posts to share your thoughts, works you've made, or ones you wish someone else would adopt! We are still a community, and still checking this space!

Once again, thank you for your participation and I hope we'll continue to see more done!

The information post about Link's Awakening is here if you want inspiration to create something yourself! The event explanation is here.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE FIC you’ve written yourself, or read online? What artwork have you made, or animatics? Reblog with the link to your fanwork here so people can find more of their favourites!

PLEASE SELF PROMOTE!!

We are here to celebrate YOU, the people writing for the littlest legends, so let us see your works!

If you haven’t written for this game before, now is the time! Challenge mode is to get it posted before the end of August!

Want a bigger challenge? Post before the next game comes up!

CURRENT PHASE: POSTING!

The month of August is focused purely on created works, primarily new – we want you to make things! -- but also the old, we’re not picky.

Reblog the main posts we create with links to your works, or @thelittlelegends and use the tag(s) The Little Legends/thelittlelegends and whatever games you created for! We will try to reblog things we’re tagged in, but we still might miss some!

There is no such thing as a late entry! The posts will remain rebloggable indefinitely, but we may be less attentive once August is done in terms of reblogging your contributions back here.

IF YOU WANT TO TREAT THIS AS AN EVENT:

The “posting” month begins August 1st with Minish Cap, and ends August 31st, two days after Wind Waker is posted.

Hard mode: besides that this went up the day before... have every game entry done before the next game after it is posted.

Is there a reward? Not at the moment, but we will be deeply grateful and you will get showered with love for your services! If someone states an intention to try for completionism, perhaps we can work something out!

BRIEF GUIDELINES:

You may share other people’s work as well, but please find and @ the author on Tumblr (or comment on their AO3 if you can’t find a Tumblr url) if you do!

While we can't -- and don't want to! -- stop you from reblogging with stuff based in an AU, we ask that you focus on materials that highlight the setting and side characters of the game in question in the works you produce and share. Something that focuses on just Wind Waker Link isn’t as meaningful as something happening on Outset Island. A well-done Link’s Awakening Space AU (ala @ovegakart's short piece here) is very welcome!

Recommended tags for the games themselves usually follow these formats:

LOZ: [Abbreviation, eg. MC, AOL, OoA, LA, etc.] Legend of Zelda: [full name] [Full name] eg. Legend of Zelda (1986) or LOZ (1986) (Remember Tri Force Heroes is three words!)

I am unsure if there's a standard tag on Tumblr to disambiguate Four Swords (2002) from Four Swords (manga) but you can start using that if you'd like for this purpose!

Posting Schedule for games in August:

August 1st: Minish Cap August 3rd: Adventure of Link August 6th: Oracle of Ages & Oracle of Seasons August 8th: Cadence of Hyrule August 10th: Phantom Hourglass August 12th: Four Swords & Four Swords Adventures August 15th: Link’s Awakening August 17th: The Legend of Zelda (1986) August 19th: Link to the Past August 22nd: Tri Force Heroes August 24th: Spirit Tracks August 26th: A Link Between Worlds August 29th: Wind Waker

CURRENT PHASE: ROUND-UP

In the lead-up to August, we will be doing introductory posts for each of the qualifying games.

These posts will include the basic stats about the game: when they were released, on what hardware, where you can find them now, and what their story was. It will also include links to a walkthrough or two, for those without access to the necessary hardware.

The purpose of these posts is to be shared!

Reblog them with your favourite artwork, current fanworks you love and adore, your favourite AU they’re featured in! Share the lore you wish everyone knew, and the characters who get forgotten!

Share prompts you’ve never gotten around to using, or ones you don’t feel competent to handle!

Do not feel bad about doing this!

Every exchange or event I’ve been in, people desperately wanted prompts and ideas to spark their own imagination!

The goal is for people to learn more about games that they may have never heard of before, or not had the time or ability to engage with in full on their own. And from there we can push up those numbers on AO3 for everyone to enjoy!

Drop us an ask if you'd like to suggest any smaller bonus games that aren't already on the list!

The schedule of introductory posts for each game that will definitely be featured is as follows:
