Doodle 4 Doodle: Important Differences from MFD

[infinitecrabs]

Hello, and welcome to Doodle 4 Doodle! You may already be familiar with Multifandom Doodle; and you may have already noticed that many of this event's rules are similar to MFD. Here are some key differences:

• More compressed schedule. D4D runs on a slightly compressed schedule, with overlapping nominations & signups.
• Smaller minimum size for artwork. D4D's art minimum is 400x400 pixels. Mods are experimenting with this smaller minimum size that may be more friendly to pixel artists and people drawing emoji.
• Different rules about 3D art eligibility. 3D artwork includes voxel art, art drawn with Blender's grease pencil, and CGI renders.
  • Art drawn with the Blender grease pencil is eligible to fulfill assignments.
  • Voxel art and CGI renders are welcome to fulfill assignments as long as they have some additional element of drawing or painting.
  • Voxel art and CGI renders with no element of drawing or painting is eligible to be given as treats.
• Creator's Choice of Doodle is the name for the creator chooses fandom. You can request or offer a wide variety of things that you want to leave up to your creator.
• Different rules about requesting already-exisiting OCs. We are experimenting with organizing these requests under a fandom heading of "Recipient's OCs" (if a recipient is requesting their own OCs) or under "Creator's Choice of Doodle" (if a recipient is requesting their creator to showcase the creator's own OCs). Read more about these nomination rules here.
• One fandom minimum for requests/offers. Gifts are guaranteed for everyone who requests 3+ different fandoms!
• Defaulting using the default button has no penalty in this exchange. If you get an assignment that doesn't suit you, please feel free to default and pick up an assignment you like better from the pinch hit list!
• Defaulters still get gifts. All participants will be guaranteed a gift so long as they have 3+ different fandoms in their requests. This includes participants who have defaulted.
• If you no-show default, you will not be able to sign up to the next round. Please use the default button or contact us through the screened mod post to default!
