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?

We’ll be doing check-ins through email!! You’ll receive a form to track your progress. You can choose to fill the form and continue your story, reply to the email if you want to drop it or request a change of prompts as well. 🧸

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.

Hello! The self prompt is open as long as the writing season is open. And you can join the fest until the writing deadline (November 25th)! 💗 🧸

So we can't talk about our prompts. Does this include in private messages to bounce ideas with trusted friends?

Sure, you can talk with your friends (and get your own beta reader if necessary). Just don't post anything publicly that might give away your prompt 💗

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

hello!! im sorry for the late reply 🤍

the process for writing a self prompt fic is the same as claimed prompt, and that means the number of prompts that can be written simultaneously. only after submitting your first one you can claim another! 🧸

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!!!

yes, at 12pm kst (mid day in korea), which is usually the time we make our announcements!! i just realized we never specified that bafhfhsdhf so we'll make a tweet about it soon <3 thank you for reminding us!! -🧸

Anon <3 · 3mo

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?

hello anon, you still have to send the prompt! if you wanna claim the prompt, you can dm us, and we'll save it for you. -🧸

Anon <3 · 3mo

it's not claiming season yet but the claiming form is open, so i was wondering if we could claim already or have to wait until then

🧋- hi!! no, you may not claim any prompts until claiming season has started. if you or someone else has somehow found the claiming form, please refrain from claiming any prompts until claiming season is announced. thank you!!

Hi hello
If I got a prompt through a prompt generator would I still be able to participate in the fest? Or is that just to think of ideas for the prompt sheet?

🧋- hello!! yes, you may use ai generated prompts, unless you’re stealing/taking a prompt from somewhere else that is not from an ai generator.

can you join this as a minor or is this something you have to be an adult for bc i like writing but i dont wanna make people uncomfortable

hello dear anon! of course you can join, but you can't claim nsfw prompts (in dark green) or make the others nsfw either. that's why we have the "smut accepted but not required" option in our prompt form. we have the "no smut" option too, but for now we only received one prompt exclusively sfw. you're more than welcome to join us! -🧸

Hi!! I’ve never done an anonymous event like this before, so how does it work? When you submit your fic to the collection does it automatically show up as anon, or does the poster have to put it in as anonymous? Thank you so much!!

Hello there :3

Once you submit your work to the collection, it will automatically be anonymous and unrevealed. We'll reveal all the works during the weeks leading to christmas and the and authors on christmas eve (at the same time), so you don't have to do anything! -🧸

hello mods thanks for organizing! do the prompts have to be christmas themed or is it just called christmas fest because of the time of year?

🐣- hello anon <3 i already answered this but i didn't want to spread misinformation so im redoing it haha... </3 yes, the prompts have to be christmas or end of the year themed (such as new years), but the information and requirements will also be on the form !! <3 (my apologies)
