Yay! Tonight in the Dongbu Feng chat, the Avatar Interfansite olympics was announced. If you weren’t there, sucks for you. Read the rest of the post for details.

Basically, a bunch of major Avatar websites are going to put together teams for a “friendly” interfansite competition. Each team will consist of 15 to 25 members. The sites participating so far are:

Distant Horizons, Airbender.Net, Dongbu Feng, Gyatso’s Temple, Flying Bison, Blue Spirit Gal, Kataang Forever, and myself.

Here’s a lowdown of the rules:

• Sites participating will need 15 members (with a max of 25) submitted to webmaster@avatarolympics.net by January 10th. We’re still accepting sites as well, and any site that can get the required number of competitors is eligible.
• The Olympics will take place from January 14th (opening ceremony) to February 15th (closing ceremony). Also, to be clear, this is NOT based on Avatar’s season 3 return, because there is not date yet, don’t mistake the 15th for the day that the show comes back (though that would be cool!)
• Fandom teams will be accepted for those who do not make the Fansite teams. Fandom and Fansite teams will compete in pretty much the same events, but their standings will be separate. Essentially the Fandom teams compete against other Fandom teams, and the Fansite teams compete against the other Fansite teams.
• People can only join one team. Also, they cannot be on a Fandom team and a Fansite team, only one.
• There will be many activities in which people can earn points for their team, including fanart, writing, video and scavenger hunts. Full details of the events will be available soon at the official site. There will be some live events, but those will be announced in advance and only a certain number of participants from each team will have to be there.

If you have any questions, contact Jake of Dongbu Feng.
