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 wanted to see where team virtue could go with these prompts. just for kicks, here's what I came up with (and people more creative than me can do way better, I'm sure)

1. lust - just married, spies on a mission, a vampire trying NOT to drink blood (yeh I just wrote that book lol), a charity fashion show gala, the lack of lust (ace/demi)

2. gluttony - Mokona's storage system and all the chaos involved. food banks. a chef working in a buffet kitchen. hand-feeding lovers

3. greed - (Mokona what did you do with the booze I bought for the mage DAMN YOU), stamp/etc collectors, working against greedy corporations (eg. robin hood), telemarketers, petty theft, why did you cut a sample of my prized houseplant

4. sloth - (IT is the easy way out of everything! Send an e-card to your lover today!), lazy days in bed (esp after hard work), also a massage, recovery from injuries/downtime, a jaded person learning to take an active role, a good work ethic, geniuses
("Lazy people, the truly lazy people live on information, strategies, ideas, plans and many other criticals, simply to spend one hour of hard work and make the rest feel like a breeze")

5. wrath - righteous fury (+ politics/oppression), letting go of hate, someone working to help angry people/ customers, nature's wrath

6. envy - envy leads to constantly improving (teacher and student?), also jealousy with regard to lovers... competing rivals/dragon riders
("Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you")
("Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.")
("Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.")

7. pride - out and proud, swallowing pride to work through issues, a phoenix and its feathers, a dragon and its scales, learning to be proud of oneself (self-esteem)

......... now that I'm looking at these through Virtue's lens, that was actually a lot of fun lol
granted, I also really loved the quote prompts from last year, so...

I do like that idea. There's also the possibility of having the corresponding virtues (lust/chastity, gluttony/temperance, pride/humility etc) rather than asking a Virtue team member to try to come up with a positive spin on, say, 'envy.'

I think it might help to emphasize that neither team necessarily HAS to be bad or good; a Vice writer could easily put a positive spin on Lust, for instance, or a Virtue writer could write something that really looks into the negative, self-abnegating nature of Humility.

I don't think pigeonholing is all that great of a danger; people can freely choose which team to sign up for, and can freely choose which prompt of the seven to go for.
