February Collab || Announcement

Welcome to the open collab for February’s Valentines!

Yes, it’s otter themed cause sea otters are adorable! And they hold hands while sleeping when a strong current is present so they don’t drift apart. Tell me that’s not cute af?!

Anyway, the collab.. Following the last collab hosted on ZipperDee’s server for October (kinktober/flufftober created by @Not The Bot?), this time I wanted to celebrate the month of love with a similar idea.

So here is a little Q&A about the collab:

• What is this event? It’s a month long event, with a 28-day calendar filled with your most popular (and some less so) tropes. Each day has listed trope/s and your task is to create a bot inspired by it. For example: Day one is Love at first sight - so you can create a character who falls for user at the first sight; or maybe user is the one who falls in love and character is just oblivious to it; or you both fall in love but are too shy to confess. 👀 So pick a date with a trope you’d like to make a bot for, and start creating!

• Tropes listed in the calendar were voted on by amazing people over ZipperDee’s and Ishiraya’s discord servers! Thank you guys for taking time to vote! 💖 (servers are also linked at the bottom of the post)

• Who can participate? Anyone! It is an open collab, and anyone can participate - from big creators to the one’s who want to post their first bot but need a little push (now is the perfect time)! Everyone is welcome! You don’t have to be part of the discord servers to participate, just download the calendar and pick the dates you want to create bots for!

• Do I have to create a bot for each day? No! You can do it like a challenge and try to make all 28 bots, or you can just pick the days with specific trope that inspires you. Either way, there is no pressure, we’re all here to have fun creating.

• Even if you make only 1 bot for this event, that is still amazing! Don’t overthink it and please remember to be kind to yourself. 💖

• What are the rules? Follow the daily trope, and when you post your bot make sure you’re using hashtags: #OtterLove, #ZipUp. Other than that you can do whatever you want - smut bots, only fluff, angst? Combine all three? Maybe create an RPG bot? It’s all up to you and your creative brain!

• Note: If you do decide to make DD bots use proper warnings, and please be mindful to follow JAI community guidelines when posting.

• All artwork in the file (and in this announcement, expect the pfp) were created and drawn by me using Procreate.

Last event collab (kinktober one) had a cute shark as its icon, so I wanted to continue with a sea creatures theme. And what better fit than sea otters?

The original icon created by me :)

The collab is hosted at these two servers:

ZipperDee’s server
