The Masked Author is back! ~with a twist~
🎭🎭 Hello everyone! we're excited to announce a round 4 of the Masked Author!! 🎭🎭
Tumblr media
The Masked Author is an event where writers submit fanfics for the Umbrella Academy, and readers try to guess who wrote what! Our theme this round will be Mermay, so mull that over and get your creative juices going and ready for May!
(or not, if mermaids don't strike your fancy; as always, the theme is optional!)
As the name implies, we will be holding round 4 during May, although exact dates are TBA. Precise dates for posting, guessing, and the reveal will be announced along with full details in an another post soon.
And finally, the news you may have been waiting on if you've been following our activity lately:
🎭🎭 We are excited to announce that this round will also be the Masked Artist!! 🎭🎭
We are adding fanart in addition to fanfic to the roster of works which can be submitted this round!! Get ready to try and recognize not only your favorite authors' works, but your favorite artists' as well. And artists, get your drawing utensils ready! Will you try to hide? Or do you want to find out how recognizable your style is? Or do you want to take this opportunity to post art for the first time? Either way, we hope you join in on the fun!
Precise details, such as exact rules, and how and where to submit art, will be subject to a dedicated post in the near future. Keep your eyes out for that! And as always, we will have a post for new authors on how to post to AO3.
Finally, prompt submissions are now open! No author or artist is required to use a prompt, but if you find yourself in need of inspiration, the prompt sheet is here for you! [Submit a prompt here], and [view the prompts already submitted here]. Prompt submitters, remember: you're now posting prompts for both authors and artists! And as always, please remember that all prompts must be gen.
🎭We'll see you all at the masquerade!!🎭

The Tails of the Umbrella Aquarium
Tumblr media
(image description below cut | click image for quality)
Vanya had a lonely childhood. Living in a house of curiosities, with no siblings and a cold scientist for a father saw to that.
She was only allowed to see the tanks once she turned 12. To see what the public had paid their money to come look at for the past year.
Specimens One to Six.
They have their own tanks, and sometimes, when they press their webbed hands against the glass to match hers, she wonders if they are as lonely as she is. So, after dark, she sneaks down to read them stories, and wishes them goodnight.
