Questions are always welcome. If I can't give you an answer, I'll try to direct you to someone who can. c:

A Vocaloid-themed multimedia BL visual novel fanwork collab.
You’re invited to participate in a collaborative project hoping to bring together BLVN fans across various visual novel fanbases. The aim is to create a multi-fandom collection of fanart and fanfiction made by different users to celebrate their favourite BL visual novels.
In this collab, participants will create fanworks of their favourite games based on Vocaloid music. Chosen songs can be referenced as an overall theme, or just to a specific lyric, or even just to the general aesthetic, and for the BL visual novel there is no limit to which characters, or how many of them, you choose to depict. The theme this time is quite loose, so we want everyone to just go wild and have fun!
For more information about the format of this collab. and how you can take part, please see this page.
Here’s a few tips and links to get the most out of the jam.
Make a dev log on the community!
A development blog is a blog in which a game developer or team talks about the process they’ve made over the course of the game’s creation. Maintaining a devblog keeps your audience in the know and helps facilitate productivity so you’ll have something to blog about. It also serves as a record of problems you encounter as well as the solutions you find for those problems.
Development logs are essentially the same thing, except we’ll be using the jam forums rather than a blog. However, you are free to use both the forums and your own blog as you develop your game.
Doing so is not necessary at all, but check out all the logs from last jam! In order to get the most out of your jam experience, it is vital that you interact with your fellow jammers and the community surrounding it. They’ll provide valuable feedback and support to help you along the way. So please, we encourage you to mingle, post in other logs, and of course post your own!
In addition, you are encouraged to add images and gifs. Here’s some programs to help facilitate that:
Take a moment to review our code of conduct. We strive to create a safe, supportive, and productive environment, and we appreciate your efforts to make our community welcoming for everyone!

Tag your posts as #MyFirstGameJam or #MFGJ10 so other jammers can find your work! To get the most exposure you can also tag #gamedev or #ScreenshotSaturday for Saturdays! Share your work and link back to your devlog to get feedback.
Manage your time and tasks!
We updated our list of useful time and task management tools with tips and ideas for staying on top of your project. Set goals early and keep track of how fast it takes you to reach them!

I hope, you’ve become interested in the game and will give it a shot when it releases, in a little less than a week!
Also, sorry for posting it on the SpaceSave blog, but the project is too small to make another, whole blog for it, in my opinion.
