I’m not sure if my idea fits into the prompts provided, can I still participate? Gothic & Horror are genres with a multitude of sub-genres and tropes to explore. If you feel like your idea doesn’t fit into a category we have already provided, please feel free to post on any day and still tag us #JayvikHorrorWeek. Gothic and Horror can still be used as overall prompts for this event! Does this event have any boundaries in place to prevent horror tropes that are racially charged? The horror genre does have many harmful tropes regarding race, which we will be providing educational sources on in the months leading up to the event. Although violence is prominent in the horror genre, we ask that any fanworks you create for this event avoid violence against black women, including the characters Mel and Sky. This is not a theme the moderators are comfortable promoting during the event.
FAQ Why were these genres chosen for a fan event? Why do people make Horror and Gothic stories? They exist to scare-- to frighten and repulse and shock. Horror and Gothic were born to face the deepest fears of our society, comprehend the unknown and the darkness of humankind. They are art forms that exist and have a right to exist as a way to sit down with our fears and overcome them, to understand what frightens us and what makes us uncomfortable. In an era where horror is often seen as an evil to be defeated and art is only welcomed as a form of entertainment, we must accept that sometimes, art is meant to be uncomfortable. As Simon Pegg said, sometimes being repulsed by something is the point.
GUIDELINES Jayvik Gothic & Horror Week is an opportunity to create fanworks based on a series of prompts provided by the moderating team. This includes fanfiction and fanart, but is also open to podfic, cosplay, edits, RP (roleplay), etc. We invite you to be creative and let the event inspire you! Please tag us in your posts @jvhorrorweek or use the tag #JayvikHorrorWeek. This includes any sketches, wips (works in progress), or announcements you post before the event takes place.
