That’s right! We’re getting ready for another full week celebrating the sublime Sonic/Sally Ship! But this time, it’s going to be an especially special event! Get ready to really part as we prepare…
BOUND FOR FREEDOM: SONIC x SALLY WEEK, YEAR FIVE!
As in the past, this week-long event will run from FRIDAY, AUGUST 11th TO FRIDAY, AUGUST 18th! You can participate either by submitting directly to this blog, or else by tagging your post with any of these tags: #boundforfreedom, #sonally week, and/or #sonsal week (make sure to include at least one of these tags within the first five tags of the post so that they will show up in Tumblr’s Search). If your submission is not reblogged here within 24 hours, please message either this blog directly, or the blog runner, @gojira007
As has become tradition, our usual daily prompts will be unified this time around by a THEME! You’re free to make of that theme what you like; maybe you use it to supplement your piece or link your contributions together, or maybe you use the Theme itself as your inspiration if the daily prompt isn’t really doing it for you, or maybe you just ignore it all together! But whatever you want to do with it, the theme is there to help really bring this year’s event to life.
And this time around, the Theme is extra special, because this year marks the 30th anniversary of the 1993 SatAM “Sonic the Hedgehog” animated series, which in turn makes it Sally’s thirtieth anniversary too! And to commemorate that fact?
THIS YEAR’S THEME IS…“BIRTHDAY”!
As always, All mediums are welcome! Fan art, fanfiction, headcanons, whatever you can think of…as long as it’s about showing some love for Sonic x Sally, it’s welcome here, so long as it follows our rules, which you can read here:https://boundforfreedomsonsal.tumblr.com/aboutrules
In addition to this year’s new prompts listed below, you are also free to use the prompts from the last two years as well, which you can find in our Prompts archive here:https://boundforfreedomsonsal.tumblr.com/prompts
If you aren’t able to submit in time for a day’s prompt, don’t worry about it! We’ll continue to accept submissions for all prompts starting from the day the new prompt is introduced onward (and yes, that DOES mean .
If you want to begin preparing in advance, our new prompts are listed below the cut.
I look forward to seeing what everybody has to offer, and I’m very eager to share my own SonSal Love too. ^_^
since we are talking about people who deserve a higher salary i think teachers should be making six figures a year btw. if state superintendents who have never set foot in a classroom can make that much so should the teachers. teachers are quite literally the backbone of our society and if teachers were actually properly compensated we wouldn’t have a shortage or bad teachers who are continually burnout because of a lack of proper compensation.
Really love the fun ways you play the two off each other here; the paralleling “V” signs, the color contrast, the Big Wink VS. the Big Smile…it creates such a great energetic dynamic! Your coloring’s really great too, you create so many great textures and effects, from the metallic sheen of the characters to the fun glow of their eyes.

One of the most common pieces of advice for writers is to read your work aloud. It helps identify a lot of mistakes you might not otherwise catch. I find that reading aloud, it’s a lot easier to find overused words, runon and awkward sentences, and tone issues.
But when I read an entire novella over the course of a few days, I noticed a problem; holy crow, was my voice tired. Luckily, my brother is a super talented singer and musician, so I asked him for some tips for staying comfortable while reading aloud.
Stay hydrated. Drink lots of water the day before you plan to read, and have a glass of water nearby to keep your throat from getting dry.
He likes to drink Throat Coat tea before and after recording. I prefer hot water with honey and lemon because I can’t stand Throat Coat.
Try to sit up straight or stand.
Break up the work over a few days.
If you’re recording your reading, find a quiet place so you don’t have to raise your voice.
It might feel silly to read your work aloud the first couple of times, especially if you’re recording, so give yourself a few tries to get used to it. I didn’t really get into reading my work aloud until chapter three, after I got over wondering “why is my voice so irritating?”
no offense to anyone personally but I think we are way too used to and comfortable with weekly releases and if that wasn’t already bad enough, it seems like most of you aren’t even patient enough to wait for the official release date my point is this industry moves way too quickly
The way that people treat with the medium of manga is interesting and sad because a lot of mangaka are disabled and becoming disabled because of the intense workload. The grace extended to legendary author-artists like Togashi should be how all these artists are treated, and more. Your favorite artists are destroying themselves to create the pages you consume and make judgments on and they deserve to take the time their bodies need to recover from these efforts. The weekly release schedule is literally hurting artists.
