Guys, gals and nonbinary pals, please put your hands together for the 2017 KuroFai Olympics Moderator Team:

mikkeneko !

Now, these lovely folks have volunteered to be our team of friendly moderators and get this fantastic fic event off and running. I'm going to sign off and leave you all in the capable hands of our brave mods here, so please direct any enquiries towards them - either by leaving a comment on this post with your question, or sending them a message - and I am sure they'll get back to you as soon as possible!

Just please keep in mind it may take a little while for our mods to get themselves organised; they need time to plan before the event can get started, and I'm sure we all know that patience is a virtue.

Mods, if you would be so kind to do a quick little intro about yourselves in the comments down below, I'm sure that would be really appreciated!

Thanks everyone who volunteered, and thank you all for being so excited about the 2017 KuroFai Olympics!

I think that hough the themes are distinct maybe they are a bit TOO distinct (The following thoughts are about using the 7 vices for both team prompts or just for team Vice while team Virtue has their own prompts.)

It will possibly read to pigeonholing writers, for one the vices and sins have more specific connotations (sloth is BAD, lust is BAD), which even if a writer decides to reject in their fic, still cuts down the wiggle room) Take anger or example, if the prompt was simply Anger there would be more interpretation room but as a Vice? extreme anger? a sin? a very negative thing? Not as much.

Also it may one of the things one will associate with Kurogane but what about Fai? He's nothing like Kurogane in that regard and that would be OOC for Fai, so the writer is again pigeonholed.

Same thing with lust, it's mostly a conservative notion so I think many of those will force the writers to try and subvert/reject these notions without giving them many other choices. Dark is a broad enough theme but specific Vices are not imo. Also greed mm they aren't really greedy? Not everything is a broad enough prompt to apply to both characters, and so on.

UNLESS the prompts are Humility vs Pride etc.! So writers can choose either of them to focus on/reject! The vice team writers can choose either humility or pride to be the Vice! Or to be what is considered a Vice but really is not etc.

Thoughts?

Or they can choose both! Things aren't always black and white (as 7 vices and virtues claim) so team Virtue writers can pick both as a virtue! Righteous anger/indignation is just as important as Patience/Forgiveness!

So not Wrath vs. Forgiveness necessarily but Wrath AND Forgiveness! (pick any or both and extrapolate so to speak^^)

I think adding the virtue to the vice will give more options/freedom to the writers. I think if we did it this way it would work.

I came up with a list of ways team virtue can possibly read these 7 prompts - see below comment.

Fai is..... complex. I believe it would be a treat to see Fai angry, for once. :)

Have you participated in the olympics/popped in to the previous olympics to see how they were done? :)
