A masquerade is traditionally a fanfiction writing challenge where the goal is for authors to conceal their identity in an anonymous work, while fellow fans try to guess who wrote each work. As the (usual) goal is to be the least guessed correctly creator, it’s a great opportunity to experiment or write about a topic you don’t usually create for!
For this particular event, artists are also encouraged to participate! Art entries will be sorted into a separate category.
Fans may also participate in the second phase of the event, which involves guessing who created what!
Entries for the event will be accepted from May 4, 2026 to June 4, 2026*. There are no signups and creators can submit to the collection at any time before the deadline. In order for the work to be included in the event, creators MUST fill out a Google Form with their information and a link to their work so they can be included in the guessing form.
** Dates may change due to extenuating circumstances. Any changes will be posted on our social media.*
After the creation deadline, everyone is free to guess who created what. Answers will be collected through Google Forms for a period of time. After which, the correct answers will be revealed and our winners crowned!
The duration of the guessing period will depend on the volume of submissions. It is tentatively slated a week after submissions close and will run for at least two weeks.
