Please see the Guidebook for further information.The mods do not permit the use of generative AI in any capacity for the creation of fanworks for this Big Bang. Should it become evident that a participant has used generative AI in their work, they will be removed from the Big Bang event.
We WILL be accepting these submissions:
All pairings and relationships (platonic or romantic), as long as the piece falls within the focus of the Blue Lions Big Bang. Background relationships that do not feature a Blue Lions character are allowed. (Byleth ships and cross-house ships are allowed so long as the focus of your work is on the Blue Lion.) For the purposes of this bang, "Blue Lions" refers to the current eight (8) students who are members of the house at the beginning of the game.
Any version of Blue Lions characters, including if they are not in the Azure Moon route.
AUs, including versions of Blue Lions from Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo in Japan and Nintendo, as well as Fire Emblem: Heroes, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. For this bang, we're using Fanlore's definition of Alternate Universe which reads, in part: "...fanworks which change one or more elements of the source work's canon. Broadly, an AU may transplant a given source work's characters to a radically different setting, shift the genre in which their adventures occur, and/or alter one or more of their professions, goals, or backstories."
We will NOT be accepting these submissions:
Character bashing
Ship bashing
Fanworks in which a Blue Lions character or characters are not the main focus
Crossovers (unless in relation to Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes or Fire Emblem: Heroes). Fanlore defines a crossover as "...a fanfic or other fan-created work in which two or more fandoms are combined in some way."
Please read the full Guidebook for more detailed information & expectations.
