How many more fics are there to reveal? Did the mods have to read everything first? And are you going to do it again next year? I missed it this time but I want to join next year if you do a second round so I hope you do!
Hello! Today is the last day of reveals, leaving us with a total of 29 works! We haven't read any of them in advance, we're reading them right along with you~
And yes, we'll be doing a round 2 next year. In the meantime, we're leaving the unclaimed/dropped prompts open for an off-season event that will be less demanding and not anonymous like the main event. The off-season will start in January and continue until round 2 starts around June/July.

I just read one of the recent reveals and I'm uncertain if the author didn't finish or meant for it to cut off where its at? The fic is 'look at all those presents, that's a big sack' and your reveal post says it's at 7.2k words but on ao3 it says 6.4k.

So if we were to request a extra dead line when would that be the latest time to submit?

Hi I've noticed that P101 is marked both as dropped and claimed. Which is more accurate?
Anon <3 · 23d
hii there are any news about this project? did the schedule change?
No, our schedule is still the same! The writing deadline is december 8, the prompt reveals will be from December 13 to december 22, and the authors reveals will be on december 24.
I’m really sorry for the late response. I’m pretty sure we’ve mentioned this schedule few times already, and nothing has changed <3

Hi!! I was just curious about how multichapter fics would work. Do we post all of the chapters at once, or is it okay to do it on a schedule? I just saw that a lot of the dates for posting and writing were super specific, so I wasn't sure when it was okay to start posting chapters!! Tysm!!
hello!! we're so sorry for the late reply, all mods were caught up with irl stuff for a while but we're back!!
all chapters must be submitted at once and your work has to be completed!! you can submit it to the collection whenever you want, but we suggest you to wait at least until the first check in (September 1st) so you can ask us questions directly via email and dms :) -🧸

Hi! I'm a newbie to all of this I was wondering how exactly will we need to show our progress during the first check in?
Anon <3 · 5mo
What does the submitting process look like??
Hello anon <3 !! Thanks for asking! When it comes closer to the submission date, or if you send a dm/email that you have finished your work for your prompt, there will be a submission form that you will fill out, along with submitting your work to the collection.
There is a step-by-step thread on how to submit your work to our collection here !! - 🐣

After the fest is fully complete, good times had all around, is it improper to write/post a fic based on a prompt that had already been executed? I know abandoned prompts sometimes get released into the Wild Wild West, but what about those that had been fulfilled? My creative juices are flowing, but I don't wanna step on any toes. I'm still learning writing fest rules.
Hi anon! Thank you for asking this question. The mods have discussed that we aren't particularly fond of the idea that you use prompts that have already been written, though we suppose we technically can't stop you if you were to write something outside of the fest using inspiration from any of our prompts. If you do decide to do this, please take consideration of the work that was originally created for the claimed prompt. - 🐣

Hi! Is the self prompt open the whole time? Also is there a deadline to joining the fest - if im not sure right now I will have time.
Anon <3 · 6mo
So we can't talk about our prompts. Does this include in private messages to bounce ideas with trusted friends?
Anon <3 · 6mo
Will there be an author guessing game? Will we have to be secretive about our prompts until reveals?
it depends on how many people are joining the fest.. for now we received around 40 claims so if we get to at least 60 that's a possibility!! we can definitely think about something 😉
and if you're an author, yes, please don't talk about the one you're writing (the reveals will happen in december on christmas eve). if you submitted a prompt and that's your questions then you can talk about it freely. just keep in mind that some authors might feel pressured if they are aware of the prompter :)

Hii do you rules on claiming prompts if we're also planning to self-prompt? Like can we claim other prompts while writing our self prompt or can we only claim another prompt after submitting the self prompted fic? tysm
Anon <3 · 6mo
hi! is there a specific time (hour + timezone) you'll be dropping the claiming forms on the 7th? i think it'd help a lot to know just in case there'll be participants who are on different timezones than the mods. thanks!!!
Anon <3 · 6mo
so, I used the gif generator and you guys reposted what I was prompted, does that mean that I am already a participant or do I still need to self prompt?
