will you guys be featuring work from other artists for ssmonth?

Yes we will be! The main point of this blog is to communicate everything ssmonth this year which includes reblogging – note: we will not be having a submit button this year as we would like for our followers to source the creators a lot more easily – all entries into ssmonth this year, as long as you tag your work under ssm17 we will see it and reblog it on this blog. Thanks for the ask anon!

just to clarify

So we’ve been getting backlash over a few things. This post is to clarify any of the negative asks, and/or responses we have gotten.

We mods have gotten questions as to why we haven’t tried to get in touch with the previous mods of Sasusaku Month. Thing is guys… WE HAVE. For 2 weeks, TWO straight weeks @chienakamura had been messaging the mods, asking for their permission to run this whole event. Heck I’d messaged one too to see if they’d reply at all. No reply. Not a single one you guys. Yes, we messaged both the event blog and the individual mods so don’t even get me started on that. No the messages could not have been eaten up as they have been asked multiple times, as well private messaged. So no don’t even try to start that.

Why did we still go through with it? Why not wait a little bit more?
i think what majority of you guys are forgetting is that:

  • a) The mods from last year do not own the event. Sasusaku Month originated on LiveJournal with different mods. This is an event for fans by fans that has passed on repeatedly. We asked the previous mods out of respect for them and their work last year, and to avoid overlap and confusion within the fandom.
  • b) Creating content takes time. The four of us know this as our team consists of editors and fanartists. Knowing this, we prioritised getting a finalised list published for all to see with a month planning time. Had we waited, we probably would have gotten backlash for being too late and unorganised with such a big event within the fandom.

Now about the rules drama:

You’re making a big deal out of nothing? Those rules were written for ss month by previous mods of ss month. Why is it a big deal we reuse rules specifically written for the event? Like if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it? The rules were clear and concise. They could not have been re-written any better. You are forgetting that the ss fandom is from all around the world. the rules need to be as clear as possible. 

I find all this nitpicking to be so immature? Like as moderators this year, we gave you as many chances to voice your opinion before we finalised everything and to now pick apart all the work that has been put into this? that’s not cool.

Anyways, sorry for such a negative post you guys but we have been getting backlash over things like this and just wanted to clarify everything. Now this is out of the way, let’s hope that we can have a positive ss month.

Also, please take a few seconds to read this year’s rules! Do not worry, they’re not too restricting and are easy to follow.

As such:

  1. Any form of media is accepted. We accept your creativity because it is your love for SasuSaku. So long as it is respectable, we accept fics, art, edits, AMV, poetry, etc.
  2. Follow our tagging system! It is not for any reason other so that we can see it and we can reblog it. The tagging system we provide is the tags we go to search for entries! So please tag your entries with ‘ssm17’ and ‘ssm17dNUMBER’! For example, your first three tags could look as follows: #sasusaku, #ssm17, #ssm17d1, d1 stays for d(ay) one. So, for day two, you would tag your post as #ssm17d2!
  3. Please do NOT repost other people’s work!
  4. There is absolutely NO ship hate or character hate allowed. It is not even allowed in passing. It is not allowed in foreshadowing. It is not welcomed in any shape or form. Keep it out of your work, keep it out of this blog, keep it out of this month. It is not allowed.
  5. Rude comments will not be ignored but will probably be replied with witty banter and maybe some comments that will make you reflect on your attitude. At some point, though, it will be ignored. We’re working so hard on this. Please be considerate.

Lastly, two things that are not rules so much things we would like you to consider:

  1. SasuSaku is the main focus here. It is the mutual ship. When you write or do art, especially, try to not make the sideships too heavy.
  2. We mods are people too so life will catch up to us at some point. When we fall behind on reblogging your work, please do not harass us about it! Do not spam this blog’s inbox about why we have not reblogged your entry and do not assume it is because we do not like it or you! We ask that you simply enjoy the month for what it is: a month for our OTP! We will do the rest: reblog the works at the pace that works best for us.

Of course, feel free to send us a message if there’s something you want to know! This year’s team consists of: @xinpaii, @sasukeuchihayas, @saradacchi and @chienakamura.

 Please like, reblog and share and we hope you have lots of fun!
