A place for lovers of the Captive Prince Trilogy by C. S. Pacat to make friends, share meta, fics, art, headcanons & etc
Possible Future Activities
What would you like to see here in future?
Wow, we've got over 60 members now! Time to get this party started, yeah?
Just answer with whatever you'd like to have here in the future! I think you're only allowed to vote for one option, so comment below with the other options that you'd like as well. Everything here is off the top of my head, so I may have missed out some stuff. Also, do share any ideas you may have as well. Gonna need lots of them if we wanna keep this alive!
Notes about Poll Choices
- Weekly Fic Rec - A scheduled post once a week for us to share & talk about any fic we're reading/have read. Possibly Friday because I like the sound of Fic Rec Friday
- Fan Art - Fan art from tumblr (cause idk where else to find fan art). I'm a little iffy about this cause I would end up asking every artist for permission before sharing as I think it's rude to not let them know. But I also don't want to not tell them, you feel me? I've already started asking some artists for permission though, so this will likely happen. If a lot of people are interested, it can be a weekly/2-3 days a week thing.
- Prompts - Possibly weekly/bi-weekly prompts that we can all discuss and/or produce fan works for.
- Gift Exchange - Participants will anonymously ask for fan art/fics that they want and will also produce some as well. If you're unsure of how it works, you can check out /MultifandomDrabble where they've got one running right now. If you guys are interested, we can try it out and see how it goes. On another note, I've never actually held one before so I don't know exactly how much effort it takes, I'm just assuming it'll be a lot.
- Discussion posts - Just more posts in general for discussions. Will need suggestions on topics to cover. My ideas so far are: Headcanon dscussion, possible AUs, character-centric posts & pairings
- Captive Prince Week - A week dedicated to producing fan works. 7 prompts (1 for each day)will be given and everyone gets time to make their work, and everything will be uploaded on the respective day of the week! You can see the original one on tumblr here
- General Chat Thread - A post for us to just chat about anything non-captive prince related, perhaps?
Once again, please remember to comemnt! It'll really help me understand better what you guys want (also it makes my day hehehe)




I can choose everything?
Hahaha, not on the poll, but yeah sure! I've already got drafts for some of the above already :D
About the fanart: if by sharing you mean re-posting, then yeah, that can get iffy, and having to go around and personally ask everyone for permission sounds tedious. But why not do something like the weekly fic rec, but for art? Maybe with a weekly theme, or an artist-of-the-week? I know posting links to art that is elsewhere is not the same as having the art posted right here - although from what I've seen so far, if you post just one link, part of the image will show up as a preview, but using a whole new post to rec a single image is maybe a bit much. The only options (apart from re-posting) I can see are encouraging people to join and share their stuff, or to do it as a rec post with links. One reason why I would prefer to post/share my own art myself is that I get notified when people comment on it or like it.
Yeah, my original plan was to have repost the picture and include a link to the original in the text. I really like your idea of an Art Rec thread. That makes so much sense, I can't believe I didn't think of that at all (I've been thinking of alternatives to the art thing for about a day haha)
So yeah, weekly thread for art recs with different themes. I think I'll probably go with that. Thanks so much! ❤
Oh good, I'm glad I could help! I wasn't sure at first if I should suggest this, because I just assumed you'd want the full pic on the comm dashboard instead of just links :P
Yeah that's what I wanted actually, but well, I do feel weird about it as well haha! Since you've got a really good alternative, why not? :D
Well if it's any consolation, even if you post the pic in an image post (instead of a link post) it still only shows you a preview, so you'd have to click through to see the whole thing anyways.
yeap! But once you click the post, you would be able to see the picture vs. having to click another link to see the picture. Although I'll be scrapping that idea anyways cause in the end that's still only one picture. It's sad there isn't yet multiple pictures upload option (or multiple choice polls)
Everything! ! All of the ideas are great! About the art thing yeah i think its better to recommed the artist (like artist of the week or day and maybe say why we like it so much why we chose them,things like that) because re posting its not something artists approve even if there is a link (we should ask them to join and upload their own art, or maybe they'll have no problem and give the permission to post or maybe they'll refuse ) idk we should have a policy or something Its kinda hard to express what i want to say...
Yeah, I'll be having weekly threads up for everyone to post art recs. Although I actually did went ahead and asked 2 artists if I could share a particular artwork from each of them, and they agreed, so I think I might as well post those (to keep the group active). But only those two. I'll be making the art rec thread and schedule it for sometime this week (:
And good idea on the policy! I'll add it into the rules. I'm pretty sure somewhere on Imzy's community guide it actually states we can't post things that we don't have permissions to.
I like fic recs (so many fics I didn't read yet because of no time), fan art, prompts and discussion posts best. Captive Prince week sounds good, too but I'm unlikely to participate because I've got so little time. Similar issue with gift exchange because there are only so many exchanges I can participate in. Discussion posts and general chat threads are great, too. They don't need so much effort if they just happen whenever someone wants to discuss something.
(same omg I have too many fics I haven't read yet)
One thing I'm worried about general chat threads is if it goes quiet after awhile, and someone starts a new comment there and other members may not see it? I could pin the post, but without a new post/notifications I'm just worried if people may get left out ):
Well, people could always follow the chat thread if they're interested. But worse case is that it becomes a spam hell haha
Also, thank you! Will keep everything in mind c:
I think all of these sound great! I hope the fanart thing works out for you because I know that reposting in the art community is a delicate procedure. As long as you gain the artist's permission to either repost or link their website, I'm sure it'll be just fine! As for prompts, it would be great if they were weekly! Ah, just a suggestion, but maybe if it helps, you can generate a schedule for it too? Like for example, every Monday can be the beginning of a new prompt, and people can feel free to create fanworks for it during the entire week! Also, are we allowed to post fanart of our own as well? ^^ Just curious because I'd love to post in the future! Anyways, thanks for hearing me out, and I hope the community can work out a way to achieve everything on the list! :D
I decided that I'll be making a weekly thread for the fanart so that people can rec art instead! The first one, which will be out either tomorrow or day after, would be just an "anything goes" art rec, but after that I'll probably give theme/character prompts so that we can keep it different. And yeap, I do want to make a proper schedule for everything! Just gotta decide which days have what. I won't be starting everything all at once so that it doesn't get too complicated or messy.
My plan was to start a chatting thread maybe later today or tomorrow which will be pinned to the top. Then either same day or next, I'll post the art thread. Then by friday/weekend, I'll get either another discussion or the fic rec thread out. I've already got the posts scheduled, just haven't decided which day I'll be posting them. Maybe I'll actually get out a proper plan for which days will have what event sooner or later haha
As for art, feel free to post your own! That would be amazing! The prompts were meant to be for our own writing/art. But tbh it's fine to post it wherever/whenever cause like, we're all here to support each other, yknow? :D Man, this reply came out so long haha whoops, I keep accidentally talking a lot more than I meant too :S
Nah, don't worry about having a long reply, bro! We all appreciate it, and it's definitely nice to keep updated with what'll happen in the community! I hope things don't get too busy and overloaded for you though haha because it seems like a lot of work to schedule things out and everything ^^
Hehe, thanks! As for now, everything's fine cause I'm still having summer and so have loaadss of free time to do these stuff. I'll be going busy with uni in around a month ): Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll see if anyone's interested in becoming a leader here. Then we can both write posts and stuff so at least I don't have to spend as much time haha
I'd like the fic rec, too, but I voted for the prompt.
I see! Thank you! Just curious about the prompt, would you be interested in those for writing/art or discussions? (I mean I guess they're probably about the same thing anyways, but it's nice to know what to keep in mind)
I was thinking writing prompts, but upon reflection it would be nice to have a weekly thread that we can throw any kind of art/writing/meta prompts into. I think I'd like it better if discussions are separate just because they'd be easier to find then!
Yeah, separating them would be better. I was just worried that maybe the crowd here may be biased to either one so it may have been easier to combine. And the weekly thread for prompts sounds great. I was thinking that maybe there could be another separate thread to discuss the prompts, and then I'll just schedule a post with each prompt a week so that everyone can do their thing for the week there. I saw some other comms doing it like that, it seemed pretty neat (in both sense lol)
I think we probably have enough members to start a CP week in which we could honestly incorporate all of the above! But I do think it might be best to wait a little while for Imzy to grow. CP is still a small fandom, and there are more lurkers than contributors, so things like exchanges might be harder. But I'd love to see everything listed! I know I just have the most fun with discussions. Prompts and weekly recs are great starts, I think!
I'll be starting off with the recs and discussions to see how much people are creepers. Then I'll add in the prompts maybe sometime next week? I was thinking of having a thread where we can all give ideas for the possible prompts as well. Hopefully we'll be able to get those lurkers talking :D
Love the idea of having a post from prompt contributions!
