Rules

⋆ use #NocoVember2023 and tag me when you post your art/story (i wanna see it so badly u guys 🥲🫶)

⋆ comment/reblog saying that you’ll be joining and tag 3 people who you think might be interested (it is totally okay to still be unsure and not participate in the end okayyy :D)

⋆ you can pick one theme, both, or mash them together for each week! the choice is yours, and you don’t even have to do all of ‘em

⋆ feel free to post your work at any point in november (or if you want to do it a month earlier or later, it’s up to you :0)

⋆ for the angst and older prompt, please don’t do anything nsfw related. i’m asking you to not draw/write smut, but if you want to do something gory for the angst prompt, always put a proper warning!

⋆ remember to have fun, never hesitate to ask me questions, and don’t feel pressured to join <3

Week 1 - Sun & Moon / Cat & Dog

these can either be taken literally (as in you make them into for eg; noah, a black cat, and cody, a golden retriever) or metaphorically (noah has moon energy so you include things that symbolize that, and same goes for cody with his sun energy)

Fanworks

This is a sampling of what was submitted for this week. Many take great advantage of the fact that Noah canonically has a golden retriever.

• fun stuff happening while walking Noah's dog by tooblindtizzy, ^{Archived version}, art.
• dogs and cats by throwawaycan, ^{Archived version}, art.

• ☾☼-~-the-confessional-~-☼☽ by K3yzz_11037, ^{Archived version}, fic.

Week 2 - Monsters / Angst

you can turn them both or one of them into (a) monster(s)! this could be tethered to the angst genre or you could make a completely different angsty scenario between the two of them

Fanworks

This is a sampling of what was submitted for this week. Some works feature alien!Cody, which was from a scene in Total Drama: World Tour's The EX-Files episode.

• Nocovember week 2 is done! HAHAHA! by same_name_supremacy, ^{Archived version}, art. Features zombie Noah and blue alien Cody (non-canonical.)
• I’m really bad at doing angst.. plus who would pass up an opportunity to draw alien Cody? Not me,, by peysparticles, ^{Archived version}, art. Spaceman Noah and a more canon-inspired alien Cody.
• NOCOVEMBER WEEK 2 monster/angst by aangellface, ^{Archived version}, fancomic for a vampire Cody AU.
• posting 2nd week of nocovember cuz I gotta go on a field trip for school tomorrow 😨 by sir.racoonq, ^{Archived version}, art where Noah is caught in alien Cody's trap.

• Week 2 by angelic_fae, ^{Archived version}, zombie apocalypse fic taking place from zombie!Cody's perspective.
• Nocovember day 1 (monster au) by c0dycore, ^{Archived version}, fic featuring alien!Cody.

Week 3 - Older / Childhood Friends

they can either be in university, full-grown adults, or heck! even elderly men 😭 so how do they look now? what’s changed in their lives and in their relationship? do they still keep in touch or have they strayed away from each other? who knows! it’s all up to you

as for childhood friends? they could be toddlers like on dramarama, maybe prepebusecent teens? just make sure they are younger than they are on the show (aka 16)

Fanworks

This is a sampling of what was submitted for this week.

• Childhood Friends by starryluminary, ^{Archived version}, art featuring starryluminary's design of them as toddlers, which were created before Total Dramarama "canonized" toddler designs for Cody and Noah.
• untitled by phionrynn, ^{Archived version}, art of them settled down in a house.
• #nocovember2023 week 3 and my favourite - them in 2023!! by aeronauseous, ^{Archived version}, art of them riding on a train in 2023, when they'd canonically be around their early thirties.

Week 4 - Canon Divergence / Reality TV Duo

i wanna see you put these two nerds in a completely different reality tv genre! it could be a cooking competition, something like wipeout or love island, a quizz show! anything as long as it isn’t total drama.

unless,,, you do want them to be a duo in TD then you could make a canon divergence situation where these two are the ones participating in ridonculous race, or write/draw them in a scenario that’s based off any scene in total drama (one that either has them or has nothing to do with them whatsoever) and twist it in a way that makes Noah and Cody’s relationship the main focus
