Valentine's Day Meme
Final Fantasy Valentine's Day Meme
In the past couple years, the FF community has held a Kissing Battle meme around the time of Valentine's Day. Last year's was hosted by first_seventhe, held here, and bottle_of_shine; held the first one here. I'm borrowing formatting decisions from what came before with sev and bottle_of_shine.
Requirements
- Roses. The usage of the word or idea of roses is wide open.
- Label the pairing you write and the rating you give it (G to NC-17). Rating is OPEN this year, which makes it all the more important to have it in the header. ADULT CONTENT allowed.
- Final Fantasy. BUT crossovers are okay! This includes crossovers of FF characters with non-FF characters.
For those of you new to writing memes: how does it work? The meme functions as a drabbles and ficlets meme. People can leave requests for characters and pairings, or write the requests others make.
Currently, the plan is for the meme to continue until February 15th, the day after Valentine's Day.
**Toward the end of this meme, bottle_of_shine created the ff_kissbattle community, which appears to be a plan for the FF kiss battle to continue throughout the year. The current round ends on Feb. 20th.**
