MayBlade FAQ
Q: What is MayBlade?
A: It is an online event for all the fans of Beyblade. It takes place in May and everybody is welcome to create art, stories, edits and any kind of content they can think of - as long as it’s Beyblade related!
Q: How do I participate?
A: Just make content you enjoy and post it online tagging it as MayBlade. This year we will be using mayblade 2024 tag on Tumblr. I will be following the tag to (hopefully) not miss any of the works.
Q: Can I post on other platforms?
A: Of course you can. You don’t have to post on Tumblr at all. You can publish your works on any website you like and mention it is a work for MayBlade event. You can always publish links to different sites on Tumblr if you’d still like your works to be reblogged here, although it is not obligatory.
Q: Is it original series Beyblade only?
A: No, it’s not. Although I, the organiser, am only fan of Bakuten Shoot, I want fans of other Beyblade shows to enjoy the event too. If you are fan of Metal Saga, Burst or BeyWheelz and any other spin-off you can make content related to your favourite series.
Q: Where can I find the prompts?
A: Here are the links:
Q: Do I have to follow the prompts?
A: Of course not. The prompts are only to give general ideas. If there is a specific thing you’d like to do and it is not related to any of the prompts - feel free to do it anyway, and tag MayBlade.
Q: I’d like to participate, but I’m doing another event/I won’t have time to do the event every day.
A: As I said above, you do not have to follow the prompts. If you make Beyblade-related content for another event, just tag it as MayBlade and it will count. You also don't have to participate every day - even one work is enough.
Q: Is AU allowed?
A: Yes, it is.
Q: Are OCs allowed?
A: OCs are allowed as long as they are in presence of at least one character from the Beyblade series.
Q: Are crossovers allowed?
A: Just like with OCs, crossovers are allowed as long as at least one Beyblade character is present in them.
Q: Is NSFW and gore allowed?
A: Yes, but please, mark it properly and use the “read more” option, so the content could be hidden from more sensitive people. This way, you don’t have to limit yourself while people who prefer not to see this kind of stuff will be protected.
Q: How do I add “read more” to my post on mobile?
A: Type :read more: (just remove the space between the words)
Q: Are edits allowed?
A: Yes, they are. In case you want to use fanarts, remember to check if the original artist is okay with it and make sure to credit them properly.
Q: My post wasn't reblogged. Why?
A: Despite the fact I am tracking the tag and I'm checking it several times a day, Tumblr decided not to show me all of the posts. Or, they show after a day or two passed. If I haven't reblogged your post during the 24 hours of you posting it, please, tag me in the reblog/replies or PM me with a link to the missing work so I can reblog properly. I would hate to miss any of the wonderful works you people are making due to technical difficulties!
Q: Why did you reblog (completely unrelated post) to MayBlade blog?
A: ...one day I will learn, I swear. I keep forgetting I have more than my personal blog. If I haven't realised the post is on the wrong blog, PM me so I can remove it.
Q: Is AI art allowed?
A: AI isn't art, it's artificially generated pictures and is not allowed. If I find out you submitted AI images without tagging them as AI, they will be promptly removed and you will be blocked.
