Spin the Wheel:
A 2027 Arcane Calendar
Spin the Wheel is a for-charity project aimed at creating a physical calendar for 2027 centered around the characters from Arcane and the passage of time. Each month will focus on one character and will have an accompanying written work to go along with the art in the calendar!STATUS: Reviewing contributor apps. Thank you for all of the interest!
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this project be SFW or NSFW?
This project will be entirely SFW.Will this project be physical or digital?
At a minimum, we will produce a physical calendar and a digital fic booklet and merch. Ideally, based on the results of our interest check, the fic booklet will be physical and we will offer physical merch, as well!Will this project feature any ships?
This zine will not feature any ships. While characters who are shipped together may appear together in the art or writing pieces, it will be platonic/ambiguous to keep the project accessible to all. Imagine having to look at art of a ship you don’t like for a whole month!Is a social media presence / are social media accounts required for participation?
The only hard requirement is that you have a Discord account so that you can join the server. Having a BlueSky or Twitter account is encouraged so that we can tag you in posts, but it is not required. Same with writers having an AO3 account as we will host a collection after the project concludes - nice to have but not needed.What does it mean when you say each month's art will have an accompanying written work?
We will have a separate book of fanfiction with one story per character/month! Whether this book is digital or physical will depend on the results of our interest check.
Will League of Legends lore/canon be allowed/included?
This project will be entirely based on the Arcane versions of the lore, timeline, and characters.What does it mean when you say that each month will focus on one character?
We will assign each character to a month. For that month, the calendar will have art primarily featuring that character. We encourage other, related characters to be included in the piece so that we can showcase more of the overall Arcane cast, but it must be clear which character is the “main” one. For instance, the pieces for Ekko could also feature the Firelights, or the pieces for Vander could feature his daughters and the other kids.Will this project have merch?
TBD based on our interest check!Are there any limitations on who can apply to participate?
All contributors must be at least 18 years of age at the time of application.What charity is this project supporting?
TBD based on our interest check!How will characters be assigned to contributors?
Contributors will be asked to select a few of their top choices on their application, then the mod team will assign them based on that information! No one will be assigned a character they have not indicated they are willing to draw/write.
