Hello, everyone! It’s us from Chrysanthemum Garden again! Thank you for the positive responses to our first giveaway event back in October 2019! As always, we would like to say thank you for all your support and help in making our website as lively as today! With the New Year quickly approaching, we are proudly announcing our second giveaway event. This time, we have not one, but TWO types of giveaways, one for you artists and the other for all the writers!
Before we start, we want to say that we have a Discord where we do most of our interactions, here’s the link in case you haven’t joined: https://discord.gg/Q2BxzM3. Discord is the fastest way to get our updates as we always announce everything on Discord first, moreover, you can chat with people, even fangirling/fanboying together! We have channels dedicated to our novels, as well as a channel for artists to discuss their drawings~ So, what are you waiting for?! Come and join us!
The competition is based on submissions and voting. You’re free to draw/write anything you like (but with the theme we choose) based on any of our novels, be it still ongoing, completed, or even dropped! You can even do some crossovers and make AUs as long as it includes at least one of the characters in one of our novels. Let your imagination run wild!
In order to apply, you guys have to submit your submission to this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkIRtVSt1ABPp4NkwgS2iOrvHECZBcbY4RlrY74Lem5bOVrA/viewform
The prize for the winner will be a 1-month nitro subscription from Melimeli, 3-month Xbox Live Membership, courtesy of @xiin#7890, some of our mods @Kara#5199 and @Gone#1436, and our lovely member @AsamiKuroba#6745 and @Mina#1417. Yes, you heard it right, there will be a total of 5 winners! Three for fanart category, and two for fanfic category! Best of fanart category will get the nitro subscription!
The winner will be chosen by readers using a voting system which will be up later during the voting week to ensure fairness for all competitors. So, you don’t have to worry even if you submit your work at the last minute!
