New Supply: GESSO

Due to the discussion we had about tabletop roleplaying game sourcebooks and Mosaics, I've made a new supply.

gesso
A piece that uses the setting, minor characters, or other aspects of a canon of someone else's invention to tell an original story with original characters. See Q&A for examples of acceptable amounts of borrowing.

Q&A
  • This was designed to allow the use of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) sourcebooks, but other media sources are allowed. The bulk of the story must be original.
  • So I can write fanfiction, right? Not exactly. This isn't a fanfic community, so the bits you borrow should be a minor.
  • Can I use homebrewed ttrpg content? Yes.


I've also made a wip page with examples for gesso and mosaic -  - I'd appreciate comments and critique before I finalize it.

In regards to tagging, there are a few things you can do:
- not change anything and tag things as gesso from now on
- only change it in your personal records
- add gesso and !needs tags to appropriate pieces or let me know in the comments here what you would like changed

Due to the nature of the addition, no prototype achievement for it will be awarded. Gesso has been added to the tags on [community profile] rainbowfic

I'm not going to change the past ones, but happy to have this for the future!
