There is a re-occurring quest of sorts in Final Fantasy XIV called ‘Wondrous Tails’, and it is given to you in Idyllshire by a young Miqo’te named Khloe Aliapoh. She gives you an empty journal and asks you to write down the stories of your past and future adventures so that she can share them with everyone she meets.
By re-completing past content, you can earn stickers in order to make lines across a card in a style similar to bingo, with each finished line netting all sorts of prizes once the journal is turned in.
In much the same way, ‘Wondrous Tails of FFXIV’ is a month-long event that utilizes a prompt-filled bingo card format to encourage fans tell the stories of their OCs and self-inserts in an environment with minimal restrictions and maximum possibilities.
It is open to both visualandwrittenmedia, and anyone that participates with at least one valid entry is entered for a raffle that takes place after the end of the event.
> The next iteration of Wondrous Tails of FFXIV will start on May 1st and end on June 6th! <
For more information about the event, start/end dates and whatnot, please check out the links found below!
This is a reminder that the event starts in less than a week!
If planning to participate, you are welcome and encouraged to create your bingo sheet early and share it with your friends!
As of right now, the prize for the five winners from the raffle, held after the event, will be up to $10 usd of not station items. If you are interested in throwing some dollars or other donated prize into the pool, please send me an ask at this blog, or check out the FAQ for a prize donation form link.
Another reminder, this year’s iteration is open to all manner of fan works—writing, art, screenshots are all eligible to take part!
If you have any questions, please let me know!
If anyone is curious, I will be taking part in this event as well! I’ve already got my bingo sheet at the ready—and several friends ready to kick my butt into actually writing for my wols and self-insert for once in my life >w>;;
Though the prompts list was already fairly fleshed-out from the first iteration of Wondrous Tails event, I decided to re-organize and add some new ones, especially since the direction is less shipping-centric and more about FFXIV ocs and self-inserts in general!
On that note, I’ve separated the original SFW category into ‘solo’ and ‘shipping’, and I’ve also added a category that is specifically FFXIV-flavored!
Below is but a small snippet of prompts from that category. I like to think there is a lot of fun to be had in interpreting some of them… ;3
Participants of the Wondrous Tails of FFXIV event are welcome to build their bingo cards before the start date (May 1st), and please send questions here if you have any!
