Whale Pair Fest: Introduction and Guidelines
Welcome to the Whale Pair Fest!
What is Whale Pair Fest?
The event is to encourage the creation of fanwork focusing on the pairing NorIce (Norway/Iceland). The goal is also to encourage participants to get creative and try something new through a simple and flexible prompt system! Just about anything goes for this event!
In this event, each person is given a short list with four prompts on it. Participants will choose two out of the four prompts and produce either two pieces of art or two fanfics with a minimum of 500 words.
Guidelines
- This event is open to both artists and writers!
- Signing up is required in order to participate! However submissions can be made anonymously.
- All ratings are welcomed!
- Participants will receive a list with four pairings and four prompts; you must choose at least two to create fanwork for but you can do more if you want!

About the Prompts
- Because this is a shipping fest, fanworks must focus on them as a pairing. You're free to make work focusing on their relationship as brothers only (you won't be penalized for it) but it's preferred you make your fanwork focus on them as a pairing instead. After all, we're assuming you joined because you enjoy the pairing too!
- Other characters and pairings are allowed to appear in the fanwork produced but the focus must be on Norway and Iceland.
- Each prompt list will be composed of four very short or one word prompts which can be interpreted as narrowly or as broadly as you like as well as four pairings. All prompts will be chosen at random.
- Everyone is also given some optional prompts that you may add into your piece. You cannot substitute your optional prompts with your compulsory ones.
Here is an example of what a prompt list might look like:
1. Beach [Optional: Picnic or Books]
2. Photo Album [Optional: Coffee or Letters]
3. Holiday [Optional: Dance or Rain]
4. Karaoke [Optional: Summer or Travel]
If a person were to receive this list, they may decide to go with prompts 1 and 4 and write two fics or draw two pictures - Fic/Image 1 would be about Norway and Iceland having a romantic day at the beach (possibly with a picnic in the mix if the optional prompt "Picnic" was included) while fic/image 2 would feature the two singing a love song to each other through karaoke. Or the person could combine both prompts for one fic/image and have the two doing a date by going to the beach and doing a night filled with karaoke.
The Fanworks
- You must choose at least two prompts and then produce either two fanfics at least 500 words long or two pieces of art. You also have the option of combining both your prompts for one piece of art or a 1000 minimum word fic.
- Works can be as simple or as long and complicated as you want as long as they fit the minimum requirement!
- All ratings for fanwork are permitted!
