Welcome to the Greatest Decoy Challenge! Twice a month we at the Haikyuu Creator Hub host prompt challenges where writers and artists anonymously submit works. Once the creation period ends, guessing begins!

The Greatest Decoy challenge is a monthly event that gives artists and authors the opportunity to connect and/or collaborate on works based on a highlighted prompt. Submissions are anonymous and will be added to a collection on Archive of Our Own. All submissions, both writing and art works, will be posted on Twitter and shared in the official Haikyuu Creator Hub Discord Server.

Participants will have one month to submit a writing submission with 500 words minimum and 5,000 words maximum. Artists will submit a sketch that reflects when they can manage to produce in one month's time. This could be a sketch with minimal color, or something along those lines.

Works will be submitted via a Google form and can be posted to a collection on Archive of Our Own if decided. Once submitted, works will be anonymously highlighted on Twitter with graphics and links. Artwork will be directly posted on Twitter.

The person whose piece receives the highest number of incorrect guesses will receive the title of “The Greatest Decoy” and will have their submission featured and pinned to Twitter and in the discord. They will also have a special role in the discord server and the chance to pick a new emoji to add to the server.

How does guessing work?

Anyone can participate in the guessing portion of this event. Guesses will be submitted via a Google form. The person with the highest number of correct answers will get the opportunity to select a prompt for a future round.

This event is for Haikyuu only. Any ship is allowed, as long as it is appropriate.

Live guessing will take place in Discord. Participants can vote on what time works best. Following, submissions will be revealed on Ao3, and highlights will be posted on Twitter.

🧡The Greatest Decoy challenge is a bimonthly event that gives artists and authors the opportunity to connect and/or collaborate on works based on a highlighted prompt. Submissions are anonymous and will be added to this collection. All submissions, both writing and art works, will be posted on Twitter and shared in the official Haikyuu Creator Hub Discord Server.

💚 By joining the Greatest Decoy Challenge, you are free to submit one piece of art or one piece of writing for each challenge. You are also allowed to collaborate with another participant to create art and writing.

💛 By entering this challenge, you agree to be a friendly and supportive participant. As this is a community challenge, we encourage everyone to look through all the submissions and be as engaging as possible with everyone's work. However, do not feel obligated to join each round. Life can get overwhelming, but this challenge doesn't have to be.

💙 This event is open to all ages 16+. Any and all NSFW works must be tagged appropriately and should only be created/consumed by those 18+. Please don't lie about your age. Doing so will result in a ban from future events.

💜 The prompts are open to your interpretation. If you have any questions, contact any of the mods and we can help clear up any doubts or questions regarding the prompt.

🤍 Do not reveal your piece until the voting period has ended. Part of the fun of this event is not getting caught. If you have questions about your piece, please DM a mod. After the reveals you are free to discuss any and all pieces in submission-discussions.

💗 If a mod has to DM you more than three times about breaking a rule, you will be kicked from the server and banned from participating in any future events.
