After 20+ years as a franchise, the SAW movies continue to bring in a dedicated audience of creatives that keep the stories of these characters alive through fan works.
In this collaborative event, SAW fic authors will write works based on art created and submitted by SAW fan artists, working together to create two cohesive pieces that can be posted alongside one another at the end of the event.
If you're interested in participating, Sign-Ups are open, closing for artists on September 26th and closing for writers on September 29th!

- Your piece should be at a minimum 75% finished at the time of claims.
