Huzzah, all!

If you’ve been around the forums, you’re likely already aware of this wonderful factoid: It’ll be DC Universe’s One Year Anniversary soon! :slight_smile: throws confetti :tada:

So, ever wanted to commemorate Samm Levine in a macaroni painting? :wink: Or had a favorite Summer Supercation postcard (or other FCF submission) that you want to pay homage to? Maybe there was a unique news article, announcement, or scene from Titans, Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, or Young Justice that stuck out for you? Or perhaps the best part of the year was meeting new people, and making friends here on the DC Universe forums?

Well, now’s your time to shine by sharing your artwork celebrating the chosen moment! See the rules below for more info!

:sparkler: RULES :sparkler:
Deadline: This week’s Fan Creation Friday is a TWO week affair , with a submission deadline of September 6th, 2019, so worry not! You’ll have plenty of time to let your imagination be your guide! :slight_smile:

*is glad he’s not the only one with a fondness for macaroni “paintings” *

Will there be an opportunity for written Year One tributes via a different thread at some point, or are works of fingerpaints, cheese and Crayolas the main focus right now?

@Vroom - Yup, macaroni paintings (the art teacher I liked best growing up was quite fond of mixing media, actually). And as for your question, indeed! Since completion times can differ so drastically for artwork, we started there first, but the writing equivalent will be posted for next week’s FCF. :slight_smile:

@CynicalPink, we’re happy to hear it! If you choose to enter, we look forward to seeing your work! :slight_smile:

@MIB Sweet! Writing is more my speed TBH. I’ve tried macaroni projects in the past, but they never go anywhere as I just end up making mac n’ cheese with it instead.

@RDB Frank should see Cosmo Kramer. You know, the ***man!

@Applejack, annnnd, this is why you’re my favoritest superhero of all - thank you! :slight_smile:

@DhruvGrayson - nice! That sounds like it’ll be a treat for the eyes! o.o

@MisfitH - that subtle plug, lol. :wink: I think you might be able to submit any pieces you’ve already shared on the forum (especially if you’re using it to symbolize how one of the FCF prompts was a fav moment from this first year), so if that’s the case, no need to rewrite. Will have details finalized by Friday, though!

@Vroom - lol at your and @RobertDeBeero’s posts. I feel ya, however, on the macaroni art. I’m always left in awe by the works of art out of slabs of butter, nowadays, too. My first reaction would be looking for a knife and something to put some on. :stuck_out_tongue:

@Franthejellyman - nothing’s showing for your post, unfortunately. :frowning: Can you re-submit it for us? Can’t wait to see what you and @Vass4life.91181 have in store for your posts! :slight_smile:

@MIB I hear ya. If I tried to sculpt/build with butter, I’d probably get intoxicated by its sweet, enticing aroma and say “No art for you, you’re going onto food.” then find some food to affix said butter to.

Not that I uh, talk to butter mind you. pulls on shirt collar nervously, Rodney Dangerfield style

@Franthejejyman That’s a wonderful rendition of Robotman. Very, very nice.
