2015 KuroFai Olympics Poster by cloverflynn

Congratulations, everyone! The 2015 KuroFai Olympics is officially closed! We could not have done it without our teams of writers, our pinch-hitters; our proof-readers and betas, our artists who created posters and banners, our readers and voters, and all of the CLAMPers who spread the word and spread the love! Thank you so much to all of you who participated, and especially to our hard-writing members of Team Fantasy and Team Sci Fi! Once again, you've made this one of the most fun and exciting events to visit the KuroFai community, and I want you all to be proud of yourselves and what you have achieved.

Our scores are in, and as per precedence, they were very close indeed; the KuroFai Olympics is always a tight competition, regardless of theme, and this year was no exception- the difference in the final score came down to 0.9 points! Without further ado, the winning team of the 2015 KuroFai Olympics is...

( Drumroll please! )

I hope everyone has had a wonderful time with this year's Olympics, and I hope we can keep the event running in 2016. Thank you all so, so much for participating and making it a fantastic event for KuroFai fans across the fandom!

Title: Iron
Prompt: Heist
Rating:M or slightly R-ish.
Warnings: Language. Some violence. Vampirism. Needless bloodshed. Death. Brief nudity. Slavery and slightly dubious consent. Ambiguous stuff happens.
Notes: Faie is the old spelling for fairy. Omitted the sexual related stuff and placed a `123456789 where there's a large break in scene. The Faie language is using Gujarati. If there's any confusion over what was said during the scene, I'll be happy to include all sentences and spells in the faie language translated into English. The poem is supposed to be a haiku in Japanese but Translate Google sucks when it came time for that, so it's just in brackets to indicate it's not supposed to be in a language Fai understands.

Title: A Sum of Many Parts
Prompt: Repairman and Customer
Rating: T
Warnings: artificial limbs and prosthetics; references to past injuries; references to vehicular accidents; swearing
Notes: I wasn't expecting to write for the Olympics this year, but I jumped in as an emergency sub following a last-minute schedule change. I wrote this in about ten hours and then spent two days sweating over it trying to make it presentable. Be gentle?

Super thanks go to

Title: Oasis
Prompt: [Apocalypse]
Rating: T
Warnings: (heavily implied) Depression, Violence. Made-up Science.
Notes: I really tried, but in the end, was defeated by the beast. I'd like to apologise to my team and to the readers, but this entry is not finished, despite my best efforts. All the same, I hope you enjoy reading what there is. Also, I use other CLAMP characters in this, but the only CLAMP series I'm really comfortable with is TRC so they probably don't quite behave right.
Summary: All Fai wanted was a good night's sleep. Transporting to another world and living a double-life came in at a close second.

(I linked to google docs because dreamwidth and tumblr were both shitting up the formatting and read mores so it's there for now. I promise that the current edit is LOCKED and I won't change anything until after the Olympics ends)

UPDATE 31/8/15 I'd like to thank everyone who read and rated this fic! I'm moving it over to AO3 now, and I hope to start working on it again very soon

Title: Tactile Tequila Prompt: [Nightlife]
Rating: M Warnings: Alcohol Use, Language
Notes: I really spent more time world building than I should have. Every scene in this fic takes place in a larger fictional world that is now outside my control. I decided to narrow the focus of my fic when I realized what a monster I created! I need an escape rope quick! Anyone!
Awesome People: Chloe is a precious cinnamon bun and deserves all the thanks in the world. I couldn’t have gotten through this fic without your beta suggestions and encouragement. Zelinxia is also a precious cinnamon bun and the most enthusiastic cheerleader anyone could ask for. Thank you so much!

Title: Patterns
Prompt: Nightlife
Rating: T
Warnings: Violence; Gore; some body horror; Major Character Death (sort of?), Canon Character Death
Notes: (Somebody might be dead but they're still around; not a zombie fic, posting chapter one just to get it up there before deadline, should have it up fully shortly)
I started this two and a half days ago, after realizing that I'd written 9k words for my original idea and probably needed another 15k words to wrap it all up. No way that would happen in time. So I latched onto a far shorter idea and managed to grind the majority of it out in time.
Thanks for reading. :x

Title: What Comes Undone
Prompt: [Repairman and Customer]
Rating: T
Warnings: Some violence. I tried to keep it fairly subdued, so it's not presented too graphically. To be specific, some hands become unattached in battle and offscreen. Descriptions of minor wounds. Some pretty harsh bullying also occurs.
Notes: I really hope I did my prompt justice. I think if someone were to read this fic without knowing what it was, they'd never be able to guess it.
...Oh well? -throws fic- Take it. I have no command over it any longer. It is with the people.
Thank you so much Cloverfield for betaing this! You did an awesome job and I really appreciated the feedback. Thank you all for making this such an awesome event. I've had a blast and can't wait to read everyone else's fics now that mine is done.

Remember to rate here on this DW post rather than on AO3!

Title: Brain Waves
Prompt: [Interspecies Romance]
Rating: T
Warnings: Major character death (kind of) and existential crisis. This fic takes place in the same universe that Chobits and Angelic Layer do, but I've done my best to give explanations of the various terminology, so hopefully reading those series isn't a requirement to understand this fic.
Notes: Due to unforeseen personal conflicts, I wasn't able to complete the story in time. Instead I'm going post the first part of this fic and post the rest at a later date. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience!

Title: Steal Back the Stars
Prompt: [Heist]
Rating: T
Warnings: Brief description of a panic attack (or something akin to that); mentions of death
Summary: The world should have been abandoned. It should have been easy to get in, get what he needed, and get out. But when he arrived, the lights were on. Of all the things he’d been expecting, that was down at the bottom of the list between unlikely and highly improbable. The only thing that ranked lower on the list was the discovery that the world wasn’t quite as abandoned as it was supposed to be.
Notes: Huge, massive thanks to Cloverfield for betaing!

I also decided on modern fantasy.

Title: Flip the Tables
Prompt: [Cafe]
Rating: T
Warnings: None
Summary: Fai never expected to find himself playing a café-themed, rom-com game as part of his job. He never expected to find a sword-wielding character in that type of game either, but this was apparently a day for surprises.
Notes: Even though this is a last-minute sub for the café theme, I had a great deal of fun writing it. Massive thanks to Cloverfield for beta-ing.

Hello Olympians! It's been pointed out to me that it's been a fair while since the formatting guide was posted up, so I thought I'd give you a quick re-hash and repost the coding again, just to make things easier!

As I've said before, you may post your entry wherever you are comfortable doing so, such as tumblr, AO3, fanfiction.net, to your dreamwidth journal or even the KuroFai community itself; however, wherever you post your fic, you must also create a post in the community following the format below. This will make it easier for your readers to vote for your fic, and for yours truly to collate all the scores.

The html coding I'll give you can be used as a template; just copy it from below, paste it in the html editor, switch back to rich text, and away you go. Plus, it'll put the really cool banners we have at the top of your post, too! Just remember to grab the right code for your team; if you post using the wrong one, you'll have to redo your entry.

Please title your entry post like so in the subject line of your post: (Team Fantasy/Sci Fi) [Prompt] Title of Fic

For Team Fantasy, your html coding to use as a template is this:

Title:
Prompt: (You only need to include the segment of your prompt in [square brackets] here.)
Rating:(Please use the following rating system: G for all ages; T for content suitable for a teenage audience; M for content suitable to an adult audience; R for content containing explicit sexual or violent themes. If you are unsure of how to rate your fic, please ask a teammate or myself what they would rate it based on its content.)
Warnings: (In this section, please warn for any potentially triggering content such as: extreme violence; gore; sexual content; drug or alcohol use; etc. If you are unsure whether something needs to be warned for, it is best to err on the side of caution and include it anyway.)
Notes: (In this section, include any author's notes you feel necessary.)

(Provide a link to your fic here, or a read more cut with your fic beneath if you post it directly to the community. Don't forget to encourage your readers to vote for you on your official dreamwidth post!)

Title: Have Mercy
Prompt: Soulmates
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Uh, demon's body horror??
Summary: A hundred years ago, a powerful demon was sealed away. When the seal broke, it grew stronger, posing a deadly threat to the travelers: particularly Fai and Kurogane.
Notes: This is set between Tokyo and Infinity. Let me know what you think! I will tweak it later and publish a more polished one.

The Soulmate Project:

Prompt: Soulmate

Summary: When Fai’s brother is killed, and he is dragged into the resistance movement Yuui had been a part of, his life as a programmer at InfoTech is shattered. Now hidden away in a safe house with one companion, a surly ex-medical student named Kurogane, Fai has to decide to help his former company, run by the only family he has left, or these new rebels.

Rated: T

Warnings: Brief surgery scene:

Notes: I got the idea for this from reading an article about the Apple Watch, combined with the words 'artificial soulmates' from my roommate Rémy (username-goes-here most places) when I was beginning to plot. I also owe her much for beta-ing, and telling me when things didn't make sense (as happened a lot) and forever checking my spellling. Thank you darling! I'm VERY excited to be posting in this great community of fans, and also to be a part of this contest! Thank you!:

Hello CLAMPers! Welcome to the 2015 KuroFai Olympics, we're so excited to have you here!

Now, if you've never participated in or heard about the Olympics before, this is what they are: a fan-run event where two themed teams compete in a friendly competition to post up fic for a series of prompts, and our readers vote and score their favourites! This year we have Team Fantasy v.s. Team Sci Fi, and a list of eight prompts- That's sixteen brand new fics all up!

If you're a first time reader-voter, or even a veteran who'd like a refresher on how to vote and help your favourite fic do well, this short guide is for you. Please read through it carefully, and if you have any questions, post them in a comment down below- I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Thanks for reading, and happy voting!

This is it, Olympians, the final (final, I swear) posting schedule revision. I'm going to post this one up on tumblr, to start drumming up interest, as well as the posters; please reblog them when you see them!

A quick reminder to writers: please be sure to post up your fics using the formatting detailed in this post (not the dates though!), and if you have any questions, please drop me a comment below!

Thanks to

aythli for stepping in as an emergency sub for Team Sci Fi. And while if you're a writer, you can't vote, you can comment on your teammate's fics, and your opponents too! Please give each other some love for joining in on the event ♥

Hey there, Team Sci Fi. I'm calling this team meeting as, due to unforeseen circumstance,

aithilin has had to drop out of the contest, which leaves us with a gap in the posting schedule. As per the rules of the contest, if no one posts on an allocated day, the score for that day is zero.

( I'm hoping we can come up with a solution. )

Current Mood: tired

cloverfield

Hello, once again, dear CLAMPers. Due to extenuating circumstances, we've had to do another schedule revision, which you will find below.

Now, the posting order has had to be shuffled around a little, but for most of you this will not change your posting date. I'd like to apologise for how messy the schedule is getting now, but it's a little tricky to juggle sixteen of you around, so I'm doing my best.

If all participants could please respond to this post, so that I know you've seen and acknowledged it, that would be really great. Best of luck with all your writing, and as always, if you need any help, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

p.s. thanks as always to Xia over on the KuroFai from Last Night blog for excellent and applicable posts!
