It's time for Last Moodboard Artist Standing!

What is it?

LMAS is a four-week competition similar to Last Drabble Writer Standing! It starts in May. Each Friday we release a new prompt and the moodboard artists who have signed up have seven days to submit their responses. We then post the moodboards anonymously and everyone votes/leaves feedback for their top three moodboards. At the end of each week, we'll reveal the top three, and at the end of the month, we'll see who the Last Moodboard Artist Standing is!

Who can participate?

Anyone who knows how to make a moodboard! Not sure how yet? That's okay! The fantastic Ato and Kitten are hosting a "How to Make a Moodboard" workshop on April 26th!

Can the moodboard be related to any character?

Yes! The prompts aren't character-specific. You're welcome to focus on any character or relationship in the Bond franchise or even on non-character elements!

How do you sign up?

Between now and April 30th, fill out THIS LMAS SIGN-UP FORM! You'll receive confirmation of your participation and your first prompt on the first Friday of May.

Good luck, moodboarders!

inception is a decent movie but there's so much horror tragedy potential written into its premise and the implications of its worldbuilding and being able to see that and do nothing about it makes me feel deranged

dream technology was developed by the military "so soldiers could practice shooting, stabbing and strangling each other". the only way to escape a dream before it ends is by killing yourself or convincing someone to kill you. you can live entire lifetimes in a dream, only to wake up to the disorientation of realising that only hours have passed in the waking world. prolonged exposure to dream-sharing tech carries the high risk of inducing psychosis to the point that you can no longer tell the difference between dreams and reality. you can carry a "totem" that behaves differently in a dream to counter this, but if anyone else gets their hands on it and figures out how it works, it's game over. dreaming is so addictive that some people sacrifice their waking lives to keep dreaming for longer. people can be hired to break into your mind and take anything they want from it, down to your most intimate parts, and sell them for profit. if that's not paranoia-inducing enough, entering someone else's mind carries the risk of being hunted down and torn to pieces by manifestations of their own psyche in a subconscious act of self-defence that cannot be controlled, because what you are doing is invasive and violent. the premise of the film rests on a superrich man hiring a group of people to fundamentally alter a man's identity because inheriting his father's corporation has the potential to make him a BUSINESS COMPETITOR. the leader of said heist team is so haunted by the suicide of his wife that he (unintentionally) caused by violating her mind to the point of madness that he locks the rest of them into a labyrinth of his own guilt, stalked by the minotaur her vengeful ghost. oh, and on the right cocktail of drugs, you can't wake up from a nightmare, and will instead end up in pure unconstructed unreality, surrounded only by decaying structures built by those who inhabited it before you, whose intentions and regrets might still haunt the landscape like a malevolent physical presence.

and you still have to go to work in the morning!
