007 Fest is our annual month-long celebration of all things Bond! It takes place from July 1st to July 31st (during the 007th month, of course). Come one, come all, and share your headcanons, your fic and fanart, your meta, your recipes and your other fancreations! We will have weekly themes, prompt tables, and other activities to spur on your creativity. You can also gather around and watch Bond and Bond-related movies, or join us for chats in the Slack! Whether you like to lurk or you’re the biggest party animal in the fandom, everyone is welcome to join. ^ ^
How is 007 Fest organized this year?
Because we had so many participants last year, this year we have FIVE competitive teams. Let’s give it up for:
Team 00
Team Q Branch
Team M Branch
Team Villains
and Team MI6 Allies!
If you are part of a competitive team, then all of your actions in the Fest (e.g., commenting, making fancreations, etc) will earn points for your team! You’ll count up your points at the end of the Fest and submit them through a google form. The team with the most points wins!
Is this a 00Q only fest?
Nope! All ships featuring a James Bond character are welcome, including crossover ships and poly ships, as are gen fics!
Do I have to compete?
Nope! Starting this year, we also have a non-competitive team. If you think 007 Fest sounds fun and you’d like to participate, but you’re not into the competition or counting up points, then you can join Team Civilian!
(You can also participate without joining a team if you want! Just tag your posts with #007Fest. We just think teams are fun. ^ ^)
Can I be on a competitive team even if I’m on vacation for part of July?
Absolutely! Whether you earn 3 points or 30 points, any competitive team will be happy to have you.
Are there prizes?
Yes!
First of all, this year people from any team, including Team Civilian, can earn digital badges for going to special events (such as a screening of the infamous Casino Royale from the 60s) or for accomplishing awesome fandom feats.
Secondly, we have two prize drawings at the end of the fest! Everyone who participates, including Team Civilian participants, has a chance to win something from the all-participants prize pool.
For the second drawing, people on the winning team will also have a chance to win prizes from a winning team prize pool!
Prizes can be anything! Past prizes have included drabbles or ficlets, sketches or fanart, fandom bookmarks or pins, Redbubble or Amazon gift certificates, and more. If you would like to donate any prizes for the prize pools, we would love to hear from you. You can send an ask, or you can message @castillon02 or @spiritofcamelot.
Okay, I know what 007 Fest is, now how do I sign up?
Easy–just fill out THIS short google form. We mostly ask you for a way to contact you and for your choice of teams. Please keep in mind that although we’ll try to put everyone on their preferred team, we also need to ensure a balanced number of participants for each team.
Anything you want! Points can only be earned by fancreations posted from July 1-July 31, but you can certainly start brainstorming or working on a WIP!
You can also add to the ANON PROMPT LIST for 007 Fest 2018! This is a list of anonymous fic or art prompts, and anyone who creates a fancreation fill for something from the prompt list gets bonus points. Whether you’re adding prompts or thinking about filling them, the prompt list is a great place to look for inspiration. ^ ^
We’re super excited about 007 Fest 2018, and we hope you are too! For more detailed information, you can check out the 007 Fest rules here.
