Project: 48 | SG | Sign-ups & chat

A SG


48 girls. One debut lineup. No second chances.

They have arrived from every corner of the entertainment industry, and every corner of the world. Some are trainees from prestigious companies. Some have spent years practicing alone. Others have never stood on a stage before. Each contestant enters with a dream. Only a handful will leave with a debut.

Every week they’ll face brutal evaluations, live performances, unexpected eliminations, shifting rankings, and missions designed to push them beyond their limits. Friendships will form. Rivalries will explode. Fan favorites will rise overnight, while top contenders can fall with a single mistake. The cameras never stop rolling.

Some contestants arrive as dance prodigies. Some are powerhouse vocalists. Others are rappers hungry to prove themselves. And a few have nothing but determination and a dream. Only one thing is certain: not everyone will debut.

As the competition intensifies, trainees must navigate public voting, team missions, media scrutiny, and the pressure of performing in front of millions. Will they become the next generation’s biggest stars, or leave with their dreams unfinished?

The stage is set. The rankings are open. The world is watching.

Who will survive?

Instead of general slides, face claim slides, ect., the information for this SG is all collected in one combined source. This is a Fandom Wiki. Here you can find some more information about the show itself, the characters that have been submitted and as the SG progresses it’ll get more and more functions to keep track of everything.

At this point it is still somewhat limited, but I am planning to continue to work on it over the upcoming months:

✦ Rules & Guidelines ✦

To keep the competition balanced and enjoyable for everyone, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

Each person may submit a maximum of 2 contestants per category (Vocalist, Dancer, Rapper, Visual), for a total maximum of 8 contestants per person. This is to ensure a diverse and balanced cast.

If you go M.I.A. (inactive) during the season, decisions regarding your contestants may be randomized. This can include voting results, mission outcomes, or other opportunities that require input. This is to ensure the competition can continue moving forward.

There are no guaranteed outcomes in Project: 48. Even fan favorites and highly ranked contestants can be eliminated. Every contestant will be subject to the same evaluations, rankings, and competition results.

While the main episodes and storyline will be written by me, ideas, feedback, and suggestions are always welcome. The goal is for this to feel like a collaborative project where everyone can contribute to making the season more interesting.

Reusing previously created characters is allowed. However, all submissions are subject to approval before officially joining the competition. Final decisions regarding accepted contestants will remain with me to ensure the cast fits the format and balance of the show.

Always feel free to ask questions or ask for clarifications!


✦ Timeline ✦

Casting Period: Now – Early September 2026 (exact date TBD)
Preparation Period: Approximately 2 weeks after sign-ups close
Competition Begins: Mid/Late September 2026 (exact date TBD)

Sign-ups will close in early September 2026, after which the final contestant lineup will be prepared. A short preparation period will follow to allow time for organizing profiles, planning evaluations, and setting up the opening stages of the competition.

Once preparations are complete, Project: 48 will officially begin.

I am pretty obsessed with all the characters I’ve made. Ngl, for some I might continue to work on them a little bit over the next weeks, but I feel there are some pretty strong ones in there and already some interesting plot lines I’ve set up for myself (also absolutely down to discuss any preexisting connections with my characters).
I think I need 2 or 3 more staff members and then the character creation is done for me! 1 I have a very clear idea for, the other will need some more thinking for a good idea. After so many characters in a short time creativity runs out a little..

Will always support an SG!
So if I can, I’d love to start with four characters; one of each category? Although, being there for family this week, so I may not be able to start creating for about a week.

one query: Are “female” characters allowed who identify under one of the non-binary groups?

You absolutely can start with 1 in each category!
And no rush at all, there’s still quite a lot of time before I actually want to start writing and if more time is needed I can always push the time line back a little bit

As far as non-binary goes, it’s a tough one. The setting of this RP is pretty hyper feminine, and they’d have to be okay with being in that setting. Like the styling and stuff of the group is pretty feminine and they’ll be marketed that way. That said, I can definitely see scenarios of it working out, maybe they’re only figuring that out about themselves during the SG, or maybe they see the group as a career opportunity and are comfortable separating their public idol image from their personal identity, or they just don’t particularly mind feminine styling even if they don’t identify as a girl. As long as the character makes sense within the setting I’m open to it!

Cool. Yeah, I saw the long sign-up time and was glad. But also, just wanted to assure you that I was planning to start earlier rather than later.

Yeah, I get ya. So my initial idea was a demi-girl who associates with both her/their female sex while also not really caring about labels as well. Nothing too out of the realms of the world. However, I did just think of another idea for a bigender girlie who has two different personas or masks. On stage, she’s as feminine as she can be and loves it. But off-stage, she slips into more comfortable, gender-neutral garb, which helps her to compartmentalise her two worlds.

Oooh both these ideas absolutely would work very well! So yeah these ideas would be allowed for sure and honestly I could see either idea being very fun to see play out in the SG

Already excited about them!! You always bring such unique characters honestly, and genuinely that uniqueness in characters really is what makes me so excited about running a SG
