Submission Call - Black Magical History Month 2023
Calling Black fantasy nerds! For Black Magical History Month, we want to see your fantasy fan creations. Whether you’re inspired by a Black fantasy work (e.g. Legendborn, Amari and the Night Brothers), celebrate Black fantasy characters (e.g. Corlys Velaryon, Annabeth Chase), or you want to reimagine existing non-Black properties as Black (e.g. Tolkien, Sailor Moon), we want to see it! Submissions will be open all month. See our submission guidelines for details.
Black Magical History Month is a month-long celebration of Black magical stories, characters, and fans held by @blacknerdscreate every February. To learn more about the daily challenges and events visit our website.
We're midway through #BlackMagicalHistory Month, and on a day that celebrates love, we thought we'd revisit the Fanfic Trope Quiz 😏 Take the quiz now then reply or share to your story with your results!
