Thanks for bringing attention to this! Getting started right now.
EDIT: I'm presuming it's open internationally? The Q&A Tumblr link doesn't work for me (I click on the text box and it doesn't let me access it).

EDIT: I'm presuming it's open internationally? The Q&A Tumblr link doesn't work for me (I click on the text box and it doesn't let me access it). The Ask box appears to only be available if you have a Tumblr account and are logged in; I've asked a certain individual to look into it with this question, consequently. My hope is that it's open internationally, since they haven't narrowed it down at all. It's just higher postage fees to the winner, after all.

It's rather odd, as I'm logged in. I wonder if it's a design fault in the page's format. Thanks for looking into it anyway! I will be inclined to complain if it is not international, as there is no fair reason for it not to be, other than postage I imagine it may be, as the social networks are wider than America, they haven't mentioned this issue and they're missing out on the interaction of whole demographics if they limit it.

I wonder if music counts?

Liam R. Findlay It appears that, yes, the blog's design is not very good. It requires you to hover over the box if you want to share the page, but it also stops you from getting your cursor into the text box.

I'd bet that they'd love to hear some music submitted, Agatholigcal! They seem open for anything by the looks of it. I'd like to let them know that their question box is useless but the box is useless so I can't I have quite an unusual idea for my submission- I'm quite excited for you guys to see it

I've had the same problems with the Ask box as you, guys; either it's a design fault or it's possible that they haven't enabled the Ask box. Anyway, I have found another way: if you've been following the tumblr for more than 2 weeks, you have the option to send 'Fan Mail', so I've sent them the question regarding international fanartists through it (and I've added that their Ask box isn't working, too).

Thanks for looking into this, Terry Craig. Regarding the music issue, one of the fanart examples they list is a live-action fan movie trailer, so I think you might be able to sneak music in if it maybe accompanies a video of you playing, or has a fanart thumbnail. I doubt my hundred-page fanfiction qualifies, sadly; no visual element.

Perhaps, Dante, it might be worth submitting your fanfiction anyway, just in case and for the sake of showing it off Thank you for messaging them, Terry Craig!

Perhaps, Dante, it might be worth submitting your fanfiction anyway, just in case and for the sake of showing it off I might attempt a cover art and smuggle it in under that.

Ah, I haven't drawn in a long while and I'm very rusty. But this is interesting! Good luck to everyone else, though~!
