 2020 Jinnobi Challenge

Hello everyone! I know it’s been a rough time so far this year for many of you, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, but in this time of social distancing here is something to look forward to!

This is quite early, but I like to shout about the Jinnobi Challenge around March so that everyone has plenty of time to get started on work(s). This will be the 4th annual Jinnobi Challenge (previous master lists of submissions : 2017, 2018, 2019) and every year so many amazing artists and writers surprise me with their incredible works!

So here’s the rundown of information for those who are thinking of participating in the challenge (I will repost this info periodically as it gets closer to the challenge).

When is it?: The challenge will run from October 1 – October 28, 2019. Any Jinnobi work you submit must be complete and it must be submitted sometime during October 1 – October 28. You have from now until October to work on submissions. PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR SUBMISSION BEFORE THE CHALLENGE STARTS. Update: As of 2019, I have allowed people to post on Oct. 29th, due to time differences in various countries.

Who can enter: The challenge is open to writers, artists and everyone in between. Art, poetry, photo manips, videos, gifsets, fanfiction, it’s all welcome. There’s no theme except it has to be Obi-Wan Kenobi/Qui-Gon Jinn. It can be set during the prequels, the originals, or an AU. It’s up to you. You can submit multiple entries too, if you’d like. For fic writers there’s no limit on how long or short your fic(s) is/are.

How to enter: Send me a message on here, or this email: bluegreensaber@gmail.com, letting me know you intend to participate.

Once October 1st comes around you’re welcome to post your complete work on whatever social network or fanfiction site you are comfortable using. Please tag your work (if you can tag) with the tag Jinnobi Challenge 2020 or The Jinnobi Challenge 2020 whether it’s a fic, art, or a post.

Message me with a link to your work (or links, if you submit more than one work), once you’ve published it so I know to put it on the master list.

Besides email, I can also be reached on A03, livejournal, dreamwidth, and DeviantArt, but I tend to check email and tumblr much more regularly so if you want a fast response, I recommend contacting me via that.

Rules:
1. No underage jinnobi slash. (underage = below 18 years of age)
2. If you post anything triggering, please tag it with the appropriate warnings
3. Your fic must have a rating on it (the challenge is open to all ratings)
4. If you’re posting a long WIP, the first chapter must be posted on or after October 1, and the last chapter has to be posted before October 28, so I don’t recommend it unless you know you can get it done in that time.

Need Beta?: If you need a beta, let me know. Last year I had a few people who were interested in betaing, I can’t be sure if it will be the same this year but I can help get the word out if someone is looking. At this present time, I’m not able to beta for others, but please message me if you have any questions about the challenge as I want to keep improving this challenge for the following year.

What if it’s a fic in a series?: if it’s a standalone story in a series than yes, it qualifies, just please no WIP.

What if it’s Obi/Qui/others? Or there’s Obi/other, Qui/other, but still Qui/Obi?: The main pairing should still be Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon, even if it’s poly, or if there are other partners or past/present relationships.

By the first week of November, I’ll put up a master post with links to all the amazing stuff everyone has created!!!
